How do you spell perfection? Where else do you get: 1/ Delicious perfectly made coffee 2/ Sandwiches that use the best of local ingredients, not overstuffed and always fresh even when pre-made 3/ A fantastic selection of drinks 4/ A Wine bar 5/ A place you can buy unique and beautiful gifts. I could almost refer to it as a " problem" as I seem to have little self control when I'm there. If there is a line for coffee you will also likely buy a cloth bag and some funny crayons...it's perfection! read more

Update: yesterday, I ate their baguette sandwich (premade) and their bacon potato salad (premade)...I actually ended up getting very sick a few hours later. Food was good but I'm 99% sure i have food poisoning. This French style baguette sandwich was amazing, loved it so much! Prices are fairly reasonable considering it's a local business and they make very good food. The ladies at the counter were nice, we just got premade food so I can't comment on other service, but they were willing to help :) read more

We stopped here for lunch on our way to check out a winery and ended up enjoying this place a lot more than we expected. We got a chicken panini and a caprese sandwich. both of which were amazing. The chicken panini was one of the best I've ever had (so flavorful!) and my friends and I raved it about it all day. We also got a nice bottle of rose per the suggestion of the nice lady at the wine bar and we loved it. The three of us ended up buying a bottle each of the rose to take home. The service was great and the garden seating area provided a great ambience. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place if you're in Sonoma and are looking for a quick bite before you visit the wineries. read more

Sonoma's Best - Chicken panini, caprese, spinach pasta salad, rose - Delis Near Me - Sonoma, California

Just visited a couple of days ago and it's so cute! The staff is super warm and friendly, especially Ben. Made me feel super taken care of and made good food. He deserves a raise! Definitely will be back for some coffee and a breakfast burrito! read more

Spent a couple hours wine tasting this afternoon. Super cool host Casey!! Very knowledgeable and a great personality to match. We tasted 5 wines ( generous pours too!). Relaxed pacing of the tasting program - I had never had any of the wines we tasted and just loved the selections. Very interesting portfolio of wines ..Casey told us 50/50 wines from California and around the world. We love our California wines but getting an opportunity to try different varietals from France and Italy was a great way to go. We will definitely return. Great job Casey! read more

I honestly don't know what to rate because I think Sonoma's Best sandwiches and salads are delicious, it's also such a charming place to visit and I have been here many many times. Unfortunately I've encountered that the deli service ladies are very rude. And it's just become so apparent and consistent I decided it is time to review. I always greet them kindly and ask them how they are and I am returned with just a straight face waiting with an attitude to take my order. Awkward. I always thank them and tell them to have a great day and I get zero response. It's so rude. The last 3 times I ordered breakfast here it was so burnt I was really mad because it's not "cheap" I would have returned to show them but honestly the rude behavior in there kept me from doing so. I kept going back hoping it would be a one off situation but it is definitely not. 2 times my croissant egg sandwich - blackened BURNED - 2 times my waffle stack was so burnt I couldn't cut through it with a knife. The best thing about Sonoma's Best? Pablo. Pablo is the kindest, down to earth, welcoming and notably great at his job. Sad to say I have to remind myself NOT to return read more

Quaint little wine, coffee and deli stop. We needed a bite before Grape Escape and were s little early to the party. This spot was just blocks away. Easy small parking lot. The shop itself is divided into three areas. To the left a tasting room wine various wine and olive oil products. The middle area is the coffee shop with some pastries and chocolates. The left side is a mini deli and grocery store to grab bites to enjoy while out wine tasting. A clean shop with a nice staff. Just a little off the beaten path. read more

Casey is the best! Great knowledge of wines. Also get the honey bear latte! Food is delicious

Sonoma's Best is open for take-out. Call them at 707-996-7600 to order; also check their open hours. I went there today and got my favorite chicken panini (it comes with caramelized onions, chipotle pesto, and gruyere cheese on sliced country round). I got it unheated, then took it home and heated it in my own panini press. It's so large I fixed only half, saving the rest for another meal. It's as good as ever! Please support these restaurants that are staying open for take-out; it's a difficult time for them. read more

I live out in Los Angeles and have always been looking for an awesome wine shop like this one that is knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful in every situation. The wine that Todd and team pick is fantastic and if you join the wine club he adds a personal touch by giving everyone a paragraph or so explanation about each wine. It gives it a little extra bit of fun. Very grateful to be connected with Todd and Sonoma's best! Thanks for all the help! read more

I used to love this place, but I'm horrified that the owners don't require masks for workers. I asked about this but essentially was ignored. Sorry to say I won't be back. BTW They don't require masks for patrons either. I'm pretty sure that is against the Covid Guidelines for Sonoma. Shame on you! read more

Under new ownership for the last several years, and it's turned into a glorified 7-11. Thick layer of country folksiness, but overpriced and very mediocre food and wine. Wine shop used to be great. Now it is even outclassed by Safeway. read more

Ben is literally the best! He def deserves a raise! He makes everything perfectly and awesomely. If he ever leaves I will riot in the street. read more

Cute small deli + store. Tried their bootstrap and was delicious. Included purple onion and Pepperoncini. Delicious. They also have small souvenirs and local jewelry. read more

The unhappy and unhelpful baristas illustrate the labor shortage. As a business owner, I would not have these women interacting with my customers. Especially the first people that come in contact with paying clientele. Food and beverage quality will be hardly noticed. read more

Ben and Becca both deserve a raise! They make the best sandwiches and their art skills are unmatched. Seriously great folks here and delicious food. It doesn't get any better - no wonder they're Sonoma's Best read more

I love this place! Cute, quaint, and quirky! It has interesting, local, and upscale items for sale. I always find something to give as a gift albeit housewarming or something for a Christmas stocking, bday present etc. Plus it has a local wine shop in another room. The deli is fantastic! A big shout out to Ben and the ladies working there. Best tasting sandwiches ever and great customer service! Coffee is good too. My go to place every time I'm in Sonoma! read more

The woman who works the coffee bar has been extremely rude the last few times I've been there and I probably won't be going back for a very long time. The bathrooms were also thrashed the last few times I've visited. It's unfortunate being that I'm a local and would come Here regularly. read more

The coffee here is the best in town. Hands down. Sandwiches and salads too. Outside seating isn't bad either, never too crowded Tried coffee all over town : Dear dog, friendly place but weak water, bark has no bite, with the exception of, if I bring your beans home. Pete your major dick is strong but acidic Starbuckles- corporate formulaic jive turkey junk. Bakery- nice setting out front, ok bread nothing special weak coffee Glen Ellen French place- yes and yes to the food great but too far for me. Sonoma's Best, keep fueling me!! read more

Love it, our caprese panini was excellent as was our cookie. Drinks mercantile goods were very nice. Place and patio was great and clean.

Is it the best in Sonoma? I don't know. But this place is pretty damn good. Came here recently after a visit to nearby Buena Vista Winery. My colleague and I were in dire need of hydration on this hot summer day. Lo and behold, we stumbled upon Sonoma's Best - which looks like an old saloon from the exterior. However, once you walk inside, you'll discover a charming deli/wine & cheese store/and gelato shop. Major Score! We picked up a few bottles of water, a Revive Kombucha (my favorite), and two scoops of gelato. My co-worker got the apricot-chardonnay flavor, and I opted for the more traditional cookies & cream. They were both melt-on-your-tongue terrific. We took a seat outside on their deck and watched the cars rolls by this rustic country road. It was a perfect summer afternoon. I could've stayed here all day. I'll definitely come back here the next time I'm wine tasting in Sonoma Valley. This place is a true gem. * Bonus: they have their own parking lot! read more

Sonoma's Best - Yummy gelato at Sonoma's Best - Delis Near Me - Sonoma, California

We have sorely missed having a great deli at this location. Just a few blocks away from the Plaza makes all the difference in accessibility because there is no problem parking when you stop in to get your picnic items. The service is friendly and the food items are delicious. Your biggest challenge will be choosing because everything is excellent. And they make a great cappuccino - best in town. They will be opening a wine bar in the very near future to it will get even better. The place has charm and history and did I mention great service and friendly staff! There is lots of seating too so you can even hang out for a while. Lovely. read more

Sandwiches always really good! However, they always get our order wrong. Every single time. We've actually never had an order picked up from there that was correct, it's almost comedic at this point! read more

This is a beautiful patio on which to enjoy sandwiches and soda/coffee. Food hits the spot. Especially in such a pretty location. You can order something that they'll prepare, or you can grab a sandwich and go. They have wines by the glass and all types of sodas/juices. They make a pulled pork that is just AMAZING. My favorite part on the 80 degree day I went may have been the fruit popsicles. Yummmmm!! All kinds of inventive flavors. Just like classic Mexican fruit popsicles. There was even one with some cayenne! SOOOO good!! read more

Sonoma's Best - Almost don't want to post this picture of their wonderful back patio. Hope it's not too crowded next time I go! - Delis Near Me - Sonoma, California

I actually didn't want to come here but my husband insisted and I'm so glad he did! I got a chicken pesto panini and the tomato bisque. It's delicious. Perfect pit stop! The coffee looks great too. Thank y'all!! read more

Sonoma's Best - Get the bisque! - Delis Near Me - Sonoma, California

We were heading to Napa and we wanted to come back here. I'm glad I did a YELP review after the last time I came here. I was able to pull up the name, address etc so I could find it. I even found out what we ate last time. We liked it so much that we ordered the same thing again!!! The roast beef was just sooooo tender, the bread was tasty and warm, the cheese nice & gooey, the artichoke hearts and olives were a great touch! We even sampled the gustpachzo (?) which looks like salsa, but isn't spicy like that. It was GREAT!!! Wasn't sure if I was supposed to put it on top of something or drink it like a soup or what...So, I have some studying to do before I go back there and get a bucket of that stuff! This time, we at out in their back patio/garden area. The weather was beautiful and it was very relaxing and quiet back there. They grown a lot of their own vegetables in their garden-which would explain why everything tastes so great! This is definitely a place to keep in the navigation!!! Johnny read more

Stopped in here for a beer and a sandwich. Ordered a hot dog that was out of this world! So delicious and full of flavor paired with a light beer just what I needed to cleanse my palate from all the wine. Make sure to pick up a bag of Lentil chips the Himalayan salt kind! So tasty! read more

This place is super surprising. The sandwiches are outstanding. Their bbq pork sandwich in particular is a must every time I go to Sonoma. They've got great local products, both packaged as fresh (e.g. cheeses). Expensive, quality stuff, but I always leave with something delicious. They've even got a great beer selection in the fridge (including some heavier stuff, not just the usual cadre of CA IPAs). It looks questionable from the outside, but it's the perfect place to pick up some sandwiches, brews, snacks, and dessert for a picnic in Sonoma. read more

I took a trip there. And it was beautiful! We stayed out first night in the Fall and second in the moon cottage. I definitely enjoy the fall cartridge more it was bigger. We went wine tasting. The cottage gives you a list of 25 complementary vineyards! We went to three and that was enough. Before leaving it's nice to pack a picnic and then go and enjoy the wine! The cottage also offers bikes! There is a store in front with everything inside! Oh Gail the owner was beyond helpful. I called her many times and emailed her. Each time she replied right away and said they can't wait to have us. Extremely satisfied with this place and their customer service. !!! read more

A nice break on the bicycle tour of Sonoma! We had the Hawaiian Panini and a cold brew! Both were good, the cold craft tap was refreshing after the biking in the heat. I would recommend the sea salt carmel brownie (no pic b/c it DISAPPEARED!). A fun stop on our bike trip! Friendly barkeep at the bar area! read more

Don't let the beer and wine category fool you! Not only do they have alcohol but also have a small gift shop and deli. They offer great coffee, pastries, deli sandwiches, soups, hot dogs and even homemade strudel (in the freezer section). They have peaceful outside area with tables. It's very clean and well maintained. The prices are high, but that is to be expected since a lot of their business is from tourists. They also have guest cottages in the back. Don't expect the employees to be very friendly. My boyfriend and I like to stop mid-morning and sit outside sipping coffee and munching on the morning buns. We also enjoy the hammer, which is gluten free (in the pastry case). read more

This spot is a perfect stop to get your day started. They have some of the better coffee in Sonoma, sandwiches to go and a variety of other items to create a nice picnic. There's also a nice little wine shop in the building with super fair pricing. It's a great option for those of you who want to bring food to a wine tasting because the items they sell pack well in a bike saddle or backpack. I personally like the pressed panini sandwiches but, the cold options are great too. My only complaint is the check out process...it's a total mess. There are multiple parts to the store but, no identifiable area to check out/order outside of the coffee area. This process creates a massive bottleneck and it takes forever to get everything you ordered. Why can't they set up multiple POS systems in each room? Anyway, don't need to drag on about the logistics of the space because everything they are selling inside is delicious! read more

Shame on the Mattson's - I came here for a coffee today and both employees were not wearing a mask. I asked for the manager and was told that "they are all managers". I then told "the manager" that California has a mask mandate for all businesses indoors. She said OK. I asked her what OK meant and she then told me that they would continue to do business as always....... There is no sign on the door stating that customers must wear masks. I then drove to The Sonoma Cheese Factory (also owned by the Mattsons) and surprise! Same situation - no sign, no mask. Note to the Mattsons - no one is above the law and I will no longer support any business that you own. read more

This place is everything great about a local wine shop, with an awesome deli as a bonus! Todd, the manager and Somm, has curated a really interesting and thoughtful selection of wines from around the world. He's a big advocate of local Sonoma wineries and wine-makers, while also expanding his customers' wine horizons and encouraging adventurousness. I've always said his weekly tasting events (when those were a thing) are the best deal in town! They include a wide variety of interesting selections and Todd is always ready to share his knowledge about each wine and engage in discussion. His recent virtual events have been really nicely organized and enjoyable as well! And finally, if you're looking for a locally-themed gift at pretty much any price point, the little shop area has something for everyone! read more

One of our vineyard specialists recommended Sonomas Best to us for a quick, yummy lunch! Boy were they right!! We got the orzo salad, Greek cucumber salad, and the Reuben sandwich. They were each so delicious!! The feta cheese in the salads was so yummy!! The Reuben was perfect! We absolutely loved this little spot. They have a cute outdoor patio in the back as well. Would absolutely return! read more

Great food and great service! Ben made our food and was super friendly. Would recommend!

I love this place! My wife and I have been wine club members here for 5+ years. We've actually canceled all of our winery clubs but hang on to this one because the value and selection of local wines is unmatched. The hospitality and vibe are great-Todd, the Wine Director, always makes us feel like VIPs. Myron and Joanne are A+ bartenders. read more
