    Mocha
    Emma S.

    This was my son and my third time trying Picazo Cafe. It's become one of his favorite spots since we moved to Sonoma County. While it's a half hour drive from home, we often enjoy visiting Sonoma and the combination of good options, fresh salsa and relatively reasonable prices has encouraged us to return. Ordering occurs at the counter as you enter, but they're happy to walk you through the menu, if you'd like. We had only been seated for a few minutes before our beverages landed on the table. My son's chai was a great balance between spicy and sweet and my mocha was flavorful without being overly sweet. Their barista checked in with us about the temperature after dropping off our drinks. Both had a nice amount of foam on top! Now, for those looking for a more formal dining experience, that's not this, just to be clear. It feels elevated for a roadside diner with more personality than most of the breakfast places we've found closer to home in Cotati or Rohnert Park, but still quite approachable. We tried the Picazo Flan French Toast on a previous visit and it was good, but the "flan" aspect didn't really come through and I found it rather too sweet for my palate. They know what they're doing with the Huevos and Chilaquiles though! Both come with fresh avocado and salsa. The tortillas stand up to the salsa and don't fall apart. We definitely have more items that we'd like to explore on the menu, plus there are always Mexican pastries in the cases by the order counter. Their burgers also seem to be quite popular.

    Loved my experience at Picazo! Breakfast at this restaurant made my trip to Sonoma - the food, the vibes, and the people working were so lovely. I got their chilaquiles verde with chorizo that was mouthwatering with their Soy Macha chili oil. My friends got their Picazo burger, brunch burrito, and huevos rancheros, and we all left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces. Their menu is expansive and has something for everybody, with a lot of vegetarian options. Not to mention, the chai latte and iced coffees were full of flavor and creaminess that are things of dreams, along with those mimosas. I will make sure to come back to Sonoma just for this family-run, community staple.

    Family of 4 - We stopped here for lunch after a camping trip. Great vibe: indoor and outdoor eating space, big games to play on the patio. The food is pretty good deli / burger / Mexican. it's a good quality food match for the setting, and good food and experience for kids.

    I went to Kenwood to pick up my wine membership and happen to drive by Picazo Cafe, my husband said they have the best burger. I quickly made a right to turn around and headed back. This is a nice and cozy cafe. You are greeted with a smile, you order, you get a number and pick your seat. My husband had one of the burgers with medium spice sauce and I had a torta with skirt steak. My husband had an Arnold palmer and I had wine. the wine is a healthy portion and the Arnold palmer was in a big to go cup. We were very satisfied with our drinks. My husband's burger was delicious with onion rings. The medium sauce was very spicy. Thank god he ordered medium. My torta with skirt steak was nice. It looked like they tried to elevate it but the skirt steak was not very flavorful. The fries were delightful. In the back, which I looked through the open door but did not experience, looked very nice. There was a large connect 4 game. I really like the establishment, very friendly and I recommend it.

    Had a wonderful lunch @ Picazo. Fish and chips were very good, came with the salad that had a delicious dressing on it. Grabbed some pastries for later, and the coffee shake was killer! And our server was very attentive and helpful.

    Almond croissant

    The breakfast burrito was sadly tasteless and sad. To top it off, it also barely had any sausage. I kid you not, on one half of the burrito, there was literally one piece of sausage. I was probably at least 6 bites deep before I even hit the first sausage. The croissant sandwich wasn't bad though. The croissant itself is well made. The ham is spread evenly through the sandwich. They give a generous amount of egg. The almond croissant was also pretty good too, though it may need a tad more of the delicious filling. They actually forgot to even give me my croissant but were apologetic when I went back up to ask for it. I'm just glad I remembered it at the end of our meal. They have some outdoor seating with foosball, cornhole, giant connect four, etc. cute little are! Clearly I have very mixed feelings about this place so far lol.

    Outdoor seating, huevos rancheros

    A small cafe by the side of the road, serving breakfast, fresh coffee and pastries. We had the huevos rancheros and a breakfast egg and cheese sandwich. There's seating inside and outdoors as well as a restroom. There's parking by the side of the road as well but we arrived by walking. Overall the service was great! Food was delicious and steaming hot when it came out. Would eat here again :)

    Steak-Topped Veggie Bowl, ($18) - the sauces are really good.
    Tracey A.

    Although it took a moment to find the menu, I didn't miss the sign: "voted best burger 8 years in a row". So we'd be getting a burger. And a bowl of vegetables (spinach, carrots, zucchini, potatoes) topped with steak ($18) and accompanied by some zesty sauces. Picazo is the sort of place where you order and pay at the counter then take a seat indoors or out. Servers deliver food to your table and, ostensibly, clear the table when you're through though that seemed to be a task for which there wasn't much appetite. Many unoccupied tables were left with dirty dishes atop them during my visit. The burger was as advertised and easily award-winning for the area. It was big and messy and satisfying. Though it comes with fries an upcharge will get you onion rings instead and that's what I sampled. Quite good, all of it. The steak-topped vegetable bowl was good as well, even if it seemed like something one might cook up in their own kitchen using up leftover vegetables from the crisper. Those tangy sauces accompanying the order did a lot to make this dish quite tasty. Before leaving, an order arrived at the table beside me: a huge açaí bowl with peanut butter. It looked so impossibly big and satisfying that I momentarily wished I was walking in right then as this is what I'd order. Picazo is a very casual, comfortable spot to satisfy your hunger pangs. I like to try different places when I revisit an area but I left here knowing that I'd also have no qualms with returning.

    Ordered breakfast this morning & decided to go with a build your own breakfast sandwich. 10/10 would order again! I got a croissant sandwich with ham, American cheese, onion, avocado & spicy picazo sauce. It was delicious & so filling!

    Every person I came with was happy with their food! We all thought everything tasted fresh and flavorful! We sat outside after a hike last Sunday and it was perfect! I thought maybe it would be too loud being so close to the rod but it's actually not a problem at all and a very cute outside area. The food came out quickly and all the workers we encountered were nice and helpful. I will absolutely be coming back!

    Ask the Community - Picazo Cafe

    Will they make a reservation ? We are part of Sonoma newcomers group and meet once a month for lunch. Usually between 4-8 people and generally have a good headcount a week or two ahead of time.

    I think you might be better off having your get togethers at their other establishment, Kina’s Kitchen. It’s larger and takes reservations. Picazo does have an outdoor area that you might be able to reserve though. Either way, you’re in good hands!

    Are bottomless mimosas available?

    Worth a try! They also own Kina’s, with a full bar!

I looked up breakfast places and we were directed here. What a hidden gem... or maybe everyone else knows about it but us. The parking is limited, but you can park around the back or next door in the McD's lot. Seating outside, but since it was raining, we opted for inside. We walked into a cozy, friendly environment which was packed. The only table that was available, was a table for 1 in the corner. The extremely generous young man sitting by the door, heard what the server had offered us and he immediately turned to us and gave us his table and he moved to the single table. I don't think anyone has ever done this for us. We gladly accepted and in turn we treated him to breakfast. We were curious to see the plates coming out of the small kitchen. The pancakes look amazing, as did everything else we caught a glimpse of. A Vallejo omelette and a basic eggs, bacon and potatoes plate. My husband absolutely loved the omelette comparing it to the ones he used to order at the Cliff House in SF back in the day. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the potatoes were perfect with onion and red peppers added in. Omelette $20 and egg combo $19. Very reasonably priced. The service was great and the food came out piping hot. We will definitely visit again. They were written up in Sonoma magazine for the lemon pancakes and French toast.
