    I was having one of those mornings. Mercury Retrograde was kicking my a$$ and I was feeling overwhelmed by work chaos. As a Taurus Moon, I felt the need to soothe myself with good food. I decided to treat myself to lunch. But where? As a woman in my mid-40s, I can't eat crazy heavy lunches anymore. A burger would put me to sleep. And it's 90 degrees outside and something like pho just sounds too hot. I saw Marla SR, a bakery with light breakfast and lunch I had been meaning to check out. It was decided, and off I went. When I walked in, I was still discombobulated by my day, and I looked at the menu confused. Luckily the woman behind the counter pointed out that they have a bigger menu on paper. There were many yummy things, but I went with the breakfast sandwich on an english muffin, and a Cafe au Lait. When the sandwich came, it was a thing of beauty. No literally, the plate looked amazing. (See pic) ...This so instantly put me in a good mood. It was served with charred shisito peppers with a yummy aioli with dill. A perfect freshing accompaniment to the peppers and the sandwich. The egg in the sandwich was more fritata like - very light and bouncy with cheese. As I said, amazing that all those ingredients and it felt light! (Which was perfect for me, as specified previously... my middle-aged woman sensibilities have made me... well, what some people would call, picky. But I prefer to say that I'm a grown-a$$ adult that knows herself. :)) And did I mention the cafe au lait was excellent? Great coffee, foamy milk. ...I was even naughty and put a spoon-full of sugar in it and it tasted amazing. As I sat at my table, with light streaming onto the table, and the beautiful plants artistically strewn around the cafe, I felt at home. A woman came around to ask how everything was. I could feel she genuinely wanted to know. Everyone was really nice. And punk was playing overhead, which just fit the day, as well as the core of me. It made me think of when I was a teenager, how much I would have thought it's cool that I'm sitting at a cafe with punk playing overhead. This is one of those places where you can tell that the owner had a vision, and this place is their dream created into reality. (And I just f'ing love that!) So I will say this was quite pricey for a light lunch. But honestly now adays everything is so expensive I'd rather spend on a nice meal like this every once in a while, than a crappy meal out all of the time. And now I know where I can go when I'm having "one of those days". ...I also got some rye bread to bring home (which you can't find easily anymore), and cookies for the hubs. (Or else he'd be jealous) ...I will be back. ----- Update: The rye bread was to die for!!!! This is the best rye bread I have ever had in my life. It was soft, and the rye is almost floral. It's so unique. Will be coming back for more.

    Yes, Marla SR is a bakery -- but don't let that fool you into thinking a muffin is your only option. Breakfast and lunch are served daily (except Tuesday and Wednesday, when Marla presumably rests and reflects on how good her bread is), and now Saturday evenings bring a dinner service starting at 5 PM. No reservations, counter service only, which honestly feels appropriate for a place this unpretentious. The chicken sandwich deserves its own paragraph. Tender sliced breast, cooked to actual perfection, served on Marla's own bread -- which, if you've had it, you know is doing a lot of heavy lifting in an already great sandwich. The devoted regulars here have the slightly smug energy of people who discovered something before you did, and they're not wrong. Three separate seating areas mean you can find your spot, settle in, and join the cult. Resistance is futile and also unnecessary because the food is excellent.

    The BLAT. The corn salad is DELICIOUS, the sandwich: delectable!!! The coffee, smoothie and creamy. Yum!!!

    The service is amazing. I felt like Family the minute I arrived. The music and the whole vibe makes your stress melt away and you are transported to another dimension. The seating set up so lovely with a beautiful outdoor patio!! and then of course the food.! absolutely delicious food and desserts! you must give this place a try! Tell them Sunny sent you :-)

    Crebble
    Anna E.

    Delicious coffee in a cute coffee shop! The staff is super friendly and willing to correct any mistakes. The crebble is my favorite and I always come back for more. Not too sweet and not too strong. I feel comfortable and at home whenever I come here.

    My son told me about this place, and we happened to be over at the Hyatt a block away with some friends, and thought we'd get a coffee and a pastry, and clearly it was a wise decision. It's in a somewhat odd location; find a parking spot on the street and walk over. I don't believe they have their own parking area. The pastries here were off the chain. It's really very homey, cute, and kinda rustic-chic. They have lots to offer: pastries, cookies, cakes, little refrigerators with go snacks and drinks. The service here was great, always friendly and helpful. I've ordered a mocha, which was yummy, but loved the crebblechino even better with my matching pastry, the crebble part croissant and cinnamon roll, my favorite, it's an adorable place to get a delicious snack and a great coffee too. cheers, my friends SYOY 11/22/25

    Ferry farmer's market, 2/28/26
    Mike C.

    It took me a 2nd read to figure out the name. When I went to the Ferry farmers' market towards the end of February, I noticed a new stand near the clock tower closer to the building entrance. There was a table filled with a variety of baked items ranging from bread loaves to pastry items and cake slices (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=NVOJSQH4CKAEQCPDB7RQyA) and a printed sheet that listed most of the items (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=72&select=Zu874h8NV7G2T3KTk9UWLA). I actually walked by and made a point to stop back after finishing my shopping. I bought a variety of items, some that I recognized and others that I asked about. Bringing them home, I started with the first item the next morning in reheating the ham & cheese croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=WFYaC54tReBlOdQQOkVlVg) for breakfast. I was impressed as this was both attractive and the aroma was deliciously fragrant after leaving my toaster oven. The next item tried was the artichoke turnover (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=Xv23GFeaupc0jTY5p9Anvg) which was okay by comparison; the artichoke aspect didn't stand out. A day or two later, I had dessert with their chocolate peppermint cake (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=u87hx-uA6oJIB8Nj-Vw36Q); I wasn't sure how this would work as I feared one flavor would dominate the other but I was wrong. It works. A few days later, I reheated a Nutella croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=A9j9n9XYdw6fxy_oqQ7TEQ) for breakfast; sadly, like the artichoke turnover, this was underwhelming and I wouldn't have recognized it if I didn't buy this myself. The last item that I tried was the caramelized onion & 2 cheese quiche (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=yDZnidb7aVQdCf5mwHKbQA) which I forgot that I bought. It was a little after the best eaten by time so it probably wasn't as good as it should have been due to my poor memory. I reheated this and the savory flavors were there but there was a slight bitter aftertaste. My two favorites were definitely the ham & cheese croissant and the chocolate cake as I would get both of them again. Big thanks to Ike (pronounced (E-kay), who manned the stand and patiently identified the various items on the table for me. I will continue to look for things here when my pastry supply is low. Welcome back, Marla.

    Bread heaven!!! Wow, Chef/Owner Amy Brown and Team know their dough. I've purchased Marla breads from Shelton's in HBG - always so fresh and delicious, and a step above many others. I stopped in recently to their bakery/cafe in Santa Rosa's Railroad Square. What a local gem! I wanted one of everything but showed some restraint being that it was more of a snack time than meal time. I ordered a tartine from the display. My photo does not do it justice! Fresh bread (some of the best around!), farm cheese, cheddar cheese, Early Girl tomatoes...heated to cheesy, crunchy perfection. Yum! Dreaming of my next visit!

    Menu and bakery selection for the day

    Cute little bakery/ brunch shop. Patient and kind service, adjusting the order to account for our allergies.

    Pastries

    We were staying at the La Rose Hotel and were craving croissants, so we walked to Marla in the morning! The little pastry shop is very cute and cozy. They even have outdoor seating which looked nice. The service was friendly, and we got the hazelnut croissant (warmed up). We took it back to the hotel and ate it on our balcony. What a treat! I can see why this place has five stars! The croissant was divine- and had lovely layers of buttery flaky pastry intertwined with hazelnut. And no- they didn't just add Nutella. This was legit homemade hazelnut filling! Gosh such a divine little naughty dessert! I highly recommend Marla for breakfast! You'll fall in love.

    Coffees amaaazing-- staff fantastic-- morning music is a bit too intense for 8am but maybe they want us to get our gummies and get out. Another request for ANYTHING DLEICIOUS that is baked and dairy free.

    Left: vanilla iced coffee right: iced mocha.
    Roberto M.

    Walking in, you get greeted by friendly staff and warm ambience. There is an extensive menu with many drinks and treats. The baguette had a very strong crunch with a savory salami and the sauce spread on the baguette was also tasty. The only thing I wish this coffee shop had was high chairs, but other than that, everything was great. Regardless I'll still be back.

    Clement Street Farmers Market Baked Options
    Joseph A.

    Marla Cafe of Santa Rosa, brought their baked goods to the Clement Street Farmers Market located in San Francisco. They had a fairly long line, but everyone patiently waited for their turn. Yummy pies, cookies, and pastries, for me a great option since I wanted a slice not a full pie. Worth checking out their homestyle treats.

The place had all the feels of an authentic Italian deli-I could not wait to get my hands on one of these sandwiches. I was torn between going with my usual at any Italian deli which is just a classic Italian but for some reason,I've been on a tri-tip vibe for a while and I saw they had BBQ tri-tip on the menu so I just went with that-I added pepper jack to my sandwich.($17.94) It wasn't very busy when we ordered so the food didn't take long,maybe a 6 or 7 minute wait and our food was in front of us. This deli is interesting in that they do a lot of stuff in-house including homemade chips and we had some-so tasty-great addition to our meal. They also have a pretty extensive freezer section with homemade pastas and sauces that a customer can take home to prepare at a later date. So let's talk about the BBQ tri-tip sandwich. It's always wonderful when you run into a small business that just truly excels at their craft and I feel Canevari Deli is one of those places. They made this sandwich so well,excellent balance of meat,cheese,bread and condiments. It was a job well done. I'm having really good luck lately of finding amazing restaurants that are out of town and unfortunately Canevaris is one of those places-this is the type of place that if it was near me I would go there every week,the people who live in Santa Rosa are quite lucky to have such a great deli so close to them daily. In closing ,if you find yourself in the Santa Rosa area and you want to help support a true local business,stop by Canevaris and enjoy yourself one of their daily offerings-I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience.

My water ran out about 10 minutes into battling the Sahara schnitzel and was never refilled--which felt especially cruel considering that entrée required its own hydration plan. To give credit where it's due, the Crimson Revelry cocktail was absolutely delicious, and the fries were very good. Sadly, neither could rescue the rest of the experience.

Closed on weekends so we had to remember to stop by on a weekday before 4:00. You order at the counter and they give you a number.

I noticed that the employees would quickly come and spray and wipe down tables and straighten chairs so all the tables looked neat and clean. The menu mentions which items are new or most popular, which was helpful. They offer a nice variety of salads, wraps, bowls and subs. We decided to try: - Thai peanut bowl - Noted as a popular item. Includes grilled chicken, rice, broccoli, carrot, cilantro (I requested no green onion). I appreciated the choice of brown rice. This bowl is sooo good. They put a generous amount of ingredients all smothered with a nice peanut sauce. It came steaming hot too! - Black and Bleu wrap - we requested a spinach tortilla. Beef fajita, bleu cheese, romaine, tomatoes, onion with balsamic vinaigrette. You will love this if you are a fan of bleu cheese. My husband loved this wrap and would happily drive out from Sebastopol to order it again. It was freshly made and filled with yumminess. Unfortunately, my husband was disappointed with his iced tea.

Juicy yet still firm and delicious. The sauce was fantastic. Probably needs a little bit more spice, but I was able to use what they had on hand, which is like an orange sauce. I also had a piece of naan with it as well, and it was soft, tasted fresh, and was absolutely delicious. When you can do healthy food and make it delicious, it makes me wanna try a lot of other things. I'll be back up in the area again, and this will be one of the places I seek out immediately. 8.1/10
