This is a quaint welcoming coffee shop, with customers working and chatting with friends. The Bergamot Matcha Latte was well made. Citrus, floral, and mixed well with matcha, delicious!

It's really nice inside, clean and bright, lots of seating and a large assortment of coffee, cocoa and other items to purchase to take home. The line wasn't long but it was still nice to get our order taken care of by one of the employees while we waited. When we got to the counter we added a cookie to our order and the drinks came right out! The counter person was very friendly! Here's the thing....unless I missed it there was no restroom? Maybe it was outside? And although I saw mostly all excellent reviews on Yelp, I thought my coffee (the cold Milky Way) was just ok. I'm not sure what would have made it better, but it just wasn't that great. I did like the fact that it had no ice (which means more coffee in your cup) but was still cold and refreshing.

Friendly staff & a good menu on a surfboard. Seemed like everyone was ordering the breakfast burritos with their coffee, we had the normal cappuccino and sat outside on high tables they had.

There's also some nice outdoor seating off to the side with more greenery and shade. Ordered one of their spring drinks: Violet Shade, a matcha latte with lavender and mint. I got mine with almond milk and to be half sweetened. It's a bit pricey coming out to $8ish for a hot 12oz drink but I do Ike treating myself once a week for a good cafe stop. I could have settled for a regular matcha too! Love that they give mugs for any "for here" drinks too. Drink was cozy and very good! Lavender was there but didn't overpower the matcha. Good microfoam in the drink and no clumps at the bottom of my mug when the drink was gone! All good signs of a well made matcha drink. Hope to be back soon to try their espresso drinks with their own roasts!

I appreciated that the matcha was hand whisked instead of just quickly mixed together, which made it feel much more intentional and thoughtfully prepared. The latte itself was not overly sweet, although I personally would have liked a slightly stronger matcha flavor. Still, it was a great drink to walk around with while exploring the local shops and community around The Barlow. Between the atmosphere, the people, and the location, it's an easy place to keep coming back to whenever I'm in Sebastopol.

First whiff of the drink was a bit sour so for a second I thought maybe the milk they used was bad but it could be the roast or the pistachio syrup. Been on a matcha streak and wanted an espresso drink instead but this was a bit meh. The drink was for here but got a paper cup instead. At least it was chill and quiet!

Would have loved some salsa or guac with it, but it was quite tasty on its own. Look forward to going back next time I'm in Healdsburg!

The entrance is nice and the interior has some tables to dine in as well as some outside. The menu is written all across the sides and back of the establishment and they also have some by the front before ordering. I got SCW teas a few times while going here which they have a great selection of both caffeinated and non caffeinated herbal teas. I ordered the vegan BLAT once which was really good. All the veggies were fresh, the bread was great and the tempeh was delicious. On a different trip I got a green smoothie (forget what it's called) and it was amazing. They have lots of vegetarian and vegan options which I really appreciate. The employees are so kind and helpful, it really adds to the positive experience. I like that all of their to go containers were recyclable or compostable which where I live is not nearly as common unfortunately. I highly recommend Plank Coffee Healdsburg. Great place to get some good food and delicious beverages.

Enjoy a live band playing relaxing music (I love chancing upon their new wave versions) while sipping free coffee chosen from their tastings coming from a wide variety of international flavors. Enjoy a crepe, a galette, or any other food from their menu. Staff ane service are friendly and welcoming. A great way to start one's Saturdays.
