This location still has some of their best pastries, breads and sweets. On my most recent visit, I got to try their Coffee Bean dessert, which is a small, multi-layered treat. It's on the pricy side for something this small, but I really wanted to try it. I love a bite that has several different textures and flavors that all blend together so smoothly. I also got a free croissant from spinning an online wheel that you get for leaving an online review. The buttery croissant was excellent as it should be in a classic French bakery. The service here is always good and the ambiance is good! Honestly though, the best thing is that you're in the Barlow so go outside and enjoy the outdoor seating area and the green!

Lots of options from savory to sweet. My favorite is the Parisian style flan which isn't too sweet, and their sandwiches are simple but made with really high quality ingredients. Today I just wanted a refreshing cold drink and ordered the hibiscus and orange iced tea. Very refreshing and a good balance of tartness from the hibiscus and zestiness from the orange. They only had 4 tables for indoor seating but had some outdoor seating available next to the little grassy playground in the Barlow.

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.

The inside is quite small and they are popular, it was packed. They had our table setup before we arrived so we got to sit and enjoy the ambiance for a bit before we ordered.

The other ladies seemed to really enjoy their teas as well. The tea sandwiches were light, my favorite was the chicken salad. The scones were moist and the butter/jams on the side complimented them. We also had the chance to try their white cake with strawberry jam which was fantastic. These ladies definitely know what they're doing!

Our fresh, straight out of the oven garlic rosemary bread was some of the most amazing bread I've ever had.

Our only slight neutral was our apple cheddar scone was cold and we expected it to be either warm from the oven or warmed up, but our peanut butter cookie was soft and incredible. All in all the service was friendly and the line system is easy to navigate so I would absolutely recommend stopping in if you get a chance. It's 1000% worth the drive and the nearby garden is gorgeous!

If you're in the area, this café is definitely worth a stop. I highly recommend it!

Great spot for come coffee!…read more I got an iced latte and sipped it while walking around Antique Society. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better pair. They also have some really unique sugars, including date sugars, which I bought for my diabetic grandma. They weren't sure whether the date sugar contained added cane sugar, so they called the owner right then to confirm before selling it to me, which I really appreciated. Great place to stop for some coffee, and a bonus that it's tucked inside one of the coolest antique shops in the greater Bay Area.

A lot of small businesses are hit with high processing fees for using credit transactions. I usually try to help support small businesses. But unfortunately I no longer carry cash. If I know ahead of time,like when I go to the farmers market. I will bring cash.

However, the cookies are good, and the charming shop and staff make up for the high-ish prices. The flavors here are really unique. They have many classics, as well as some specialties like lavender, cinnamon, and ginger. I really enjoyed the lavender one. It was satisfying but also refreshing, all stuffed into a cookie. There isn't really anywhere to sit here, but I think it's more of a to-go place anyway. A beverage and cookie make a great snack to walk down the streets of downtown Sebastopol. This is also a great place for a gift. My grandma ended up grabbing some cookies as a gift for her neighbor, and they wrapped them up so nicely for her.

The space doesn't fit too many people so the line usually extended a little outside the door until space opened up. Service was always really helpful each time which was great with any questions I had. I noticed that things move pretty quickly as well linewise so it wouldn't be too bad either way. So far I've gotten the brioche provencale, regale, coup de cour, brioche cannelle (large pecan). Everything has been good but the cannelle has been my favorite so far. The crust is delectable and the ribbons are just sweet enough for me. I nibbled my way through that thing over a couple of weeks. The fruit adorning the pastries always had a great flavor to them. The coup de cour with blueberries was the most interesting I'd say. I really liked the balance between the fruit and the chocolate in the center. It wasn't too sweet which was great. The one thing I haven't tried are the actual loaves of bread. I grab too many pastries when I've gone, but I'll make sure not to get distracted the next time.

Nightingale Breads have been on my to try list for a bit. Not sure when I bookmarked this place,…read morebut it was a convenient stop on the drive home! It's a very small shop with a big counter space for ordering and displaying their pastries and bread. It looks like their work area may be behind the counter so to prevent inside crowding, a limited amount of people go in at a time. On Sundays, they have scones! So I ordered a Strawberry Pistachio scone to try and we picked up two Small Chocolate Thimbles to try. For take-home bread, we bought the Forestville French Baguette, Sesame Epi Baguette, and a Country Bird. We also picked up a tea cake to enjoy at home. I can only review the scone and Thimbles since at the time of this review, this is what I've tried. The Strawberry Pistachio scone was not too sweet, which is great. I like how the pistachio bits add flavor to it, kinda wish they added more pistachio. I'm not sure I personally like the strawberries since they're kinda mushy, but my partner really liked the addition of strawberries because it's like adding cream to a biscuit and this scone was more like a biscuit than a scone (in our opinion). It's buttery, airy, and light, but it's pretty good! I think the Thimbles were better though. I can only describe it as a fudgy brownie with a thin crusty outer layer. What a decadent little treat! I can see why this is a local favorite! Their pastries are delicious. I can't wait to see how the bread tastes like and I'm glad we stopped by to pick up some goodies! Service was really friendly and they even have free stickers up in the front!

Adorable little bakery located in the tiny town of Forestville, CA!…read more We visited Nightingale Breads on a Saturday, which meant we were in luck, as its rotating specials were calling our name. The line was out the door and took a while to get in, but once we made it inside the small space, we were greeted kindly by the staff and treated to great-looking bread and pastries. We picked up a baugette, a seeded loaf, a pluot tea cake, and some chocolate thimbles. The chocolate thimbles are truly amazing, and I would come back to get a thousand of those. They are like the best brownie you've ever had in a little bite-sized delight. The bread was also good- on par with many other small local bakeries I have visited. The pluot cake was very nicely done with great texture and fresh pluot topping. It would have gone great with some vanilla ice cream. I'd imagine Nightingale Breads is the type of place where everything is delicious. I don't think you'll miss here.
