Småstad Coffee Roasters is a tidy shop with cafe tables inside and a large wood table on the terrace. They welcomed me warmly as soon as I stepped inside. I chose a large cardamom brown sugar latte and 2 small cardamom, lingonberry and black currant cakes ($4) that were dense but moist and surprisingly filling. Were they milk cakes? I should have asked. The latte was lightly sweet with a kiss of cardamom. I recommend this little shop tucked away off the main road. There's a private drive out front.

Last month AFTER a family group out of town visitors sleeping in my rumpus room on the pull out…read morecouch, get up and return the room to a nice orderly rumpus room. I was ready for them to vacate my home and get themselves back to the east coast to get everything ready for the Winter Holidays there. I had plans to go shopping in New York City. I dragged my cousin out of the rumpus room and we threw on our clothes and went out for coffee. Pure exhaustion caused every bone in my body to ache in tiredness. I needed peace and quiet and some liquid fuel. I needed liquid gold to inject into my veins. The liquid gold of choice is tar black thick sugary cup of coffee. However, I am a tea snob at times and tea steep from tea leaves that is so caffinated that it causes me to vomit due to its caffeine content so high, in fact higher than light roast coffee. I admit I am a tea snob and a coffee snob. Back to this coffee shop though is my intention after I thoroughly enjoyed its hot coffee with my cousin. We both were extremely into enjoying ourselves. The fresh roasted beans are particularly fresh. Fresh roasted beans make the best pot of coffee. I normally purchase on a pretty regular basis cofff from this coffee shop because of its focus on Swedish decor. I also can attest to the real tasty muffins and some of their other food selections. My words to you all tea snobs unite and all coffee snobs unit. All snobs of coffee and tea are united today and forever. Those who arrive 1st make sure to be very nice to employees so they continue returning to their jobs and making their customers feel valued. Remember the small business owner is an employee who worked themselves up in life to have enough money to open their dream business.

There is parking to the right if you're facing the stand but some parked in front of the cart parallel to the road. The area is cute, and fairly clean for being an outdoor only area.

They also have snacks and other yummy things!

My goto dinner spot in Sonoma…read more I actually have been here multiple times and I don't know what has taken me so long to post a review but the Girl and the Fig is definitely the truth. When you enter you'll notice a more homey decor to the place. Warm colors all around and even warmer service once you sit down. Every single experience Ive had here is been nothing less of 110%. Theres always this good balance professionalism with lightheartedness that pair so well for the atmosphere. Because at its core this restaurant is high scale. It definitely has that higher scale vibe but if never comes off as pretentious though. This particular I took my wifey here for our 10th year anniversary together. And we were greeting by a nice little card from the "Fig Family." We ended up trying the Seared Halloumi and I was shocked at how much I liked it. Very light flavors but still enough variety with the crispy spigarello and pine nuts to keep things fun. The lemon never feels too overwhelming. For mains my wife got the Mushroom RisottoI think? Or maybe it was Butternut Squash Risotto? I got the Fig Burger and both were amazing. The only reason I didn't get her Risotto was simply because I already had it at lunch time, but that still didn't stop me from taking a bite. Each rice like grain had a perfect chew and flavor to each bite. Even being the picky person that I am with veggies, I appreciated the veggies addition to the dish. I still think though that the sure winner was my Fig Burger. This burger is everything we wish our local breweries burger was. A harmonic balance between salty and sweet. Im down to get a little crazy with burgers but if it's too sweet, it kinda loses the appeal for me. It takes away too much from the burgers roots. So yea. Go here. Make reservations too. I know for myself I made mine about a month in advance so it's hard to say how hard it is to get a table here. But hopefully it's not too bad. Parking by the way is just street parking. Despite that Ive always been able to get a park on W Spain St right before I pull up to the restaurant. OH! And thanks again Girl and the Fig family! You made the end to our anniversary quite magical!
