    Entrance

    This is a small (inside) restaurant, tucked into the middle of a small commercial center. They have a lot of outside seating. I was greeted and sat very quickly. I chose to sit outside as the day was beautiful. The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Fun Guy's omelet that was stuffed with several types of mushrooms, spinach, grilled onions, and added avocado. Loved that the potatoes were very crispy. Also, I ordered a Nutella and strawberry buckwheat crepe. I thoroughly enjoyed everything. It was so good. The only downside to this place is parking. This commercial building has very little and not much street parking either. If still go again. Highly recommend.

    We keep coming back because we love the food and portions! The service is always outstanding.

    Marinated steak salad
    Karina S.

    Solid spot for a classic brunch experience. I had the marinated steak salad which was great, and there were some interesting menu items not at traditional brunch spots like a rib eye steak and gumbo. Some of the menu items had portion sizes that were pretty generous like mine, but some like the short rib hash felt a bit smaller. They were able to get an outdoor table set up for 11 very quickly which was much appreciated!

    The best scramble ever.  Perfect eggs.

    I went to buy takeout from this little gem the day before, when my husband and I were squirreled away in a cozy AirBnb. I picked up his favorite "biscuits and gravy" and he was in B&G heaven for hours! So, when leaving town the next day, we decided to sample more of their menu by actually eating in. We had the apple crepe, the Hole in The Wall Scramble, and a cup of their soup of the day - red bean and sausage. The wait staff were amazing both days, taking orders quickly and were so friendly and efficient! Everything was outstanding here. The crepe was aromatic with fresh apples and cinnamon and whipped cream. The scramble came with a side of their potatoes and a homemade biscuit. The scramble had everything you could want in it, with fluffy eggs gently scrambled into the mix of spinach, caramelized onions, red bell, smoked ham and cheddar cheese. Yum! The eggs were perfectly cooked and not rubbery as some eateries struggle top avoid. The potatoes were also irresistible and cooked crunchy with a perfect seasoning. The cup of soup was smokey and hardy with just a little kick. Perfect for a cool day. Gotta check this place out. It was a winning find and we'll be back!

    Not such a pretty picture BUT delicious breakfast burrito
    Kristen B.

    5 Stars - Incredible Hidden Gem! This hole-in-the-wall spot is insanely good! We had the country fried potatoes, which were perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection, and the breakfast burrito with bacon--lightly toasted all around, making every bite amazing. The flavors, the texture, and the care put into the food really stood out. It's the kind of place you find once and immediately know you'll be coming back. Can't wait for our next visit!

    Grilled chicken sandwich

    This place has always served up solid meals and the employees are friendly, outgoing and sweet. We had a guest here from out of town so decided to stop in for lunch. It was a rainy day so the popular outdoor patio was closed. We were seated in the dining room adjacent to the main area. This is a popular spot in Sebastopol. It is always crowded whenever we stop in. The dining room was full of happy diners on this Wednesday afternoon. The menu is pretty extensive as they serve breakfast all day, and offer a nice variety of lunch and dinner items. They have a well-rounded menu so you can easily find something to suit your cravings. We ordered: Spiced apple crepe Grilled chicken sandwich (pepper jack cheese, pickles, tomato and no onion please) with side salad 2 Mexican combo meals off of their daily specials menu (2 eggs, potatoes, chicken tamale, french toast) The two guys in our group must have enjoyed their Mexican combo meals because they ate every bite and my husband wants to go back for a repeat performance. Our guest really enjoyed her apple crepe and cleaned her plate too! My grilled chicken was good, chicken was a bit dry, but the flavors all blended well and I enjoyed it more the second day after reheating. Our servers were energetic and full of smiles. They have nice friendly personalities and wanted to ensure we had a great dining experience. We usually dine outside when the weather permits and my go-to meal is the portobella mushroom burger with a side of fries. We are regulars and we've never been disappointed. We have brought friends and family here and everyone has always had a satisfying experience. It's wonderful Sebastopol has such a charming "hole in the wall."

    current menu. i presume they will be raising prices but well worth eating here!

    Probably 15+ years since I've been back to this restaurant. Getting my car serviced down the road so decided to pop in for breakfast. They have a ton of outdoor seating. Luis greeted us upon arrival. They were getting ready to open. We grabbed a two top in the middle of the patio. Ordered the Short Rib Hash with soft poached eggs added spinach and mushrooms (+$4.00) Had the chance to chat it up with Luis. He shared the restaurant changed hands 6-7 years ago. Staff remained. Food quality is still as good as I remember maybe be better. They have a weekday Happy Hour with tons of options. Might come back for that.

When we got to the counter we added a cookie to our order and the drinks came right out! The counter person was very friendly! Here's the thing....unless I missed it there was no restroom? Maybe it was outside? And although I saw mostly all excellent reviews on Yelp, I thought my coffee (the cold Milky Way) was just ok. I'm not sure what would have made it better, but it just wasn't that great. I did like the fact that it had no ice (which means more coffee in your cup) but was still cold and refreshing.

    I CANNOT believe that I haven't reviewed this business already? You know those places that you go…read moreto so religiously that it's not even a choice anymore? This is one of those places for me. I've been coming here since high school which is (ahem...) a really long time ago. I always order the same things: an Irish Cream flavored creamy Italian soda and a backpacker cookie. Today, Vela was behind the counter when I came in. I started giving her my drink order and she finished it for me. Now, mind you, I grew up in Sebastopol, but I don't live in town anymore. I only end up passing through periodically, but apparently this combination is a little unique. I love it though. It tastes like melted ice cream or a perfect cream soda. Highly recommend. (This is also one of the only places I've ever run across creamy Italian sodas, but it's simply an Italian soda + some half and half. They always measure out the syrup and cream, so it's not too sweet. They typically stir it too before handing it to you and generally stay available for a moment to ensure you don't want them to adjust the balance of syrup, ice and sparkling water.) The backpacker cookie has oats, raisins, coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts. Now, I can be funny about both walnuts and raisins in my cookies, but they always get the balance just right! Also, when I came in a few months ago, they were out of backpackers and my son ordered a cinnamon flat. I ended up trying it and fell in love with it too! So, now I order both and share some with my son when I get home. I've met Bronwen, the owner, as well. One time when I dropped in, she noticed that I was ordering Irish Cream and said she'd wondered whether she should keep stocking that flavor. When she heard how much I loved it, she agreed to keep it stocked. I'll admit; that influences me when I'm driving through. Not that I wouldn't ordinarily choose to stop, but now I have an additional gratitude toward them. So glad that the new owners (Bronwen and her husband have apparently been the owners since 2020) have kept this institution here!

The patisserie is cozy with a few tables inside and a few small tables on the patio. As you enter, you immediately see the glass case with beautiful pastries and cakes. So exciting to see all of their gorgeous creations in our little town of Sebastopol. We had reservations for 1:00 and they sat us at one of their small tables by the door. It worked but it wasn't the most comfortable seat in the house as people were walking in and out of the door and the pastry case was right next to us. There was a group of four near the far end and they offered to move us but then we would have been sitting right next to them. They also have another small private room but that was going to be used for a wedding cake meeting. Gergana is the owner and she greeted us warmly. She said she took over the patisserie in 2019. The other employees were very sweet and helpful. They provided us with a tea menu so we could select a tea from their varied tea menu. They returned with little pots of tea for each of us. There were many people dropping by to pick up a pastry and drink and others stopped by to pick up their cake order. The employees were efficient and quick to help everyone. They refilled our tea pots with hot water and checked on us throughout our time there. The desserts on the top level were our favorites. It came with a candle which was very sweet. The sandwiches on the middle level were chicken, egg salad and cream cheese with cucumber. Our favorite was the chicken salad. Overall, it was a fun experience to savor all of their small samplings and Gergana is there to ensure everything runs smoothly so that your time there is relaxing and extra special. She even gave us a hug as we were leaving. I look forward to visiting this local patisserie again for a cup of a tea and a beautiful pastry.

Pros: I've visited several times for the bakery. The scones are my favorite as they are quite large and delicious, and I also tend to buy the Russian tea cakes as well. The macarons are a little harder and chewier than I expected, but they are still amazing. I actually found Patissierie Angelica specifically because I was looking for high tea services and thus have had their West County High Tea service twice. The second time I had the high tea service, I was given a private room! I particularly enjoyed the lemon curd, jam, and clotted cream with the scones. Patisserie Angelica is also located in a quiet and spacious part of Sebastopol; there is a parking lot that usually has space. Cons: The private room became a little stuffy as there was no air flow (other than an open window) nor air conditioning. However, things might have changed from the last time I was there. Overall: The bakery is truly amazing. I absolutely enjoy the desserts sold there and would love to have more of the high tea service in the future. It's perfect for private parties!
