To start off, the line situation just isn't ideal, so it would be nice if they put up a rope to help cordon off the line from the payment area, but the service itself was very helpful and friendly and the ice cream barista was able to make the perfect shaved ice for me when I asked for light root beer syrup. My shaved ice was absolutely delicious and I loved their flavor options so I would definitely come back next time we're in Sonoma.

For a large cup with 3 scoops I ordered 2 scoops of Rocky Road and a scoop of Dulce De Leche and my hubby ordered Mint, Rocky Road and chocolate with 1 scoop each.. Total with tax was around $18.

Not so sweet but you can taste the flavor, the pure and freshness of the dairy they used, we really loved it.. So creamy and delightful.. When we go to Sonoma, this ice cream shop will definitely be our favorite go-to .. Price was a bit high but it was really worth it.. Crowd is pleasant and store is very very clean ..

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!

Simple ingredients done really well; fresh meats, crisp vegetables, soft bread straight from the oven. It's the kind of lunch that reminds you how good simple food can be when the ingredients are quality. The owner and staff always seem genuinely happy to be there, and it gives the whole place such a warm and welcoming feeling. They also have little Italian drinks, snacks, and specialty goodies that make it fun to grab something extra alongside your lunch. It's a smaller little shop, so I recommend taking your sandwich to go and eating over at the Sonoma Plaza. Such a special little spot in Sonoma.

As I was heading back to the square (where there is an abundance of restaurants), I didn't want the busyness of the scene; thankfully, I got on Instagram, typed "good eats in Sonoma", and BAM! Salumeria Ovello popped up on my feed, and thank goodness it did! An easy 4-minute walk from Vallejo House, Salumeria Ovello is owned by Andrea, who is a Michelin-star chef from the area of Piedmont, Italy. Having been to Italy twice this past year alone, I remember quite well the quality and taste of the classed Italian Sandwiches. The worker who served at the counter was very helpful, and within the restaurant --- there are just a few seats. I'd say, 3 tables with two seats at each table. For my food, I decided to order the Massimo --- which is on "sliced Focaccia, and has sun dried tomatoes, stracciatella di burrata, prosciutto cotto, basil pesto and crumbled taralli (crackers)". Each sandwich is made fresh-to-order, and you can taste the quality. Each ingredient worked together in harmony, and to satisfy the americani in me, I definitely enjoyed the taralli in the sandwich --- reminded me of putting chips in my sandwiches in school. While I waited, Andrea also brought out some slices of salami for me to try --- free of charge, which was very kind of him to do. All in all, if you want to get away from the busyness of the Mission Square, take a 4-minute walk to Salumeria Ovello, and you'll find a little piece of Italy in Sonoma! Ciao tutti!

Late post. I've…read morebeen obsessing over wheels of cheese for a while now. A recent trip to Sonoma in January of this year led me to visit the Sonoma Cheese Factory. They have a good variety of cheeses--hard, semi-hard, soft, and creamy--and a few great finds as well. At that time of year, what caught my eye was the seasonal Rogue River Blue, which I'm sure is gone by now. For semi-hard cheeses, they had Challerhocker and the classic cheddar-like Mimolette, both of which I had been looking for. Overall, this is a nice stop for cheese lovers. You never know what great finds you might come across.

She can customize any order to make it exactly what you want. If you can send her a photo she can probably do it. I chose simple farm animal themed cupcakes and a dozen sugar cookies.

You can tell that Christina uses quality ingredients in her confections. These are on the pricey side. The whole order was $180 for two dozen cupcakes and a dozen cookies, which comes out to $5/ dessert.
