Grabbed a honey matcha latte from Taylor Lane while spending the morning around Sebastopol and The Barlow. 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. read more

Space is super cute, lots of cozy seating and even a loft upstairs with a window to look down at the coffee production in the back. $8.5 for a 12oz pistachio latte (even w/o an alt milk!) was a bit steep and it was okay. 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! read more

THE PESTO & CHEESE SANDWICH ON A CROISSANT IS A MUST TRY!!! The croissant was so buttery and flakey. 100/10 would get it again! Location is in The Barlow shopping plaza, so it was perfect to start off the day with coffee and breakfast to then walk around and shop. The staff was super sweet and nice! read more

Averages to 3 stars. The drip coffee is good compared to most places. Their matcha iced latte is weak and uninspired. $7.75 for large with non-dairy milk. Tasted like soy milk from my fridge, with only difference being a ghost caffeine boost. Matcha was not prominently flavored. Not even sweetened- they leave it to customer to easily mess up an expensive boutique drink by self-sweetening it. Maybe take it off the menu if it's worse than 9/10 other places offering it. Perhaps different milks require making it differently to let matcha shine in whatever milk is used. That's what I mean by uninspired. It tastes slapped together and I don't feel good paying that much for such a feeling. read more

I recently visited Taylor Lane Coffee and left feeling a bit disappointed. I ordered a hot chai, which ended up being just okay. Definitely on the sweeter side and not enough spiced chai. It was also extremely foamy with so much foam that it felt more like a cappuccino than a chai. I ordered a 12oz but after scooping out the foam probably ended up with less than 8oz. When a barista called out a "hot chocolate," they looked directly at me and asked, "Didn't you order this?" I let them know I had ordered a hot chai, not a hot chocolate. Instead of clarifying or letting me know what would happen next, the barista walked away and spoke to the other staff member without saying anything to me about fixing the order or remaking the drink. They did end up offering us the hot chocolate, which was nice of them, but the lack of communication left the interaction feeling awkward and a bit frustrating. Overall, the drink was fine but not great, and the service could definitely use more clarity and attentiveness. read more

Sebastopol has several really good coffee spots. I have been going to Taylor Lane Coffee since they were in a small shack off Main Street and the name was Taylor Maid Coffee. I can see why they changed that. The Barlow location is great. They have a nice outdoor patio.the inside has a beautiful, dark wood interior. There is a second level with more seating and it's really nice and quiet. Their selection of coffee drinks and pastries is pretty good, and I appreciate they have a few gluten free pastries to choose from. Their coffee roasts are good here and I like their latte's as well! Over the years, the service here has gone up and down. It always just depends on who is working. Comparatively, I like the coffee better at Retrograde, but Taylor Lane has a better gathering space. Plus, you can't beat the location in the Barlow. read more

The cashier working, Mariah, was the nicest person I've ever had take my order. I had a few questions about the Matcha latte and she was so kind. The matcha was pretty good, nothing outstanding but I've had worse from coffee shops. I would get extra matcha if you like a lot of matcha flavor. It's unsweetened which I like. Has a cute vibe inside with some seating upstairs. read more

The matcha latte was so bad. The green isn't vibrant at all and my drink (on the right) had clumps from the oatmilk that were super sour. I will say their coffee is WAY better! Super strong and not overly sweet :) read more

Review is only for their whole coffee bean, specifically the Goat Rock roast. I've never been to their actual coffee shop. Anyway, I like dark roasts. Took me a while to figure that out. Was getting Peet's Italian Roast for a while, but it just wasn't great, especially at $18/lb. Couldn't figure out why I didn't like it (still have no idea because my palate may be picky but it's not necessarily sophisticated). Often, I'd leave at least 1/3 of the cup un-consumed (undrank?). Work sent a bag of Taylor Lane's Red Rooster French Roast for the holidays once, and I was like whoa. This is what I like. But I had to be very careful about the beans to water ratio or it'd be too bitter. So I decided to try Goat Rock, and that was it. Been drinking it for well over a year now and I won't ever switch as long as they don't change how they roast it. Worth every penny to get that tasty caffeine in my veins. read more

This was my first time ever at this particular, outdoor eating, shopping district the Barstow! I loved the quaint little story of how it used to be an apple refinery, but shut down and then was reinvented into this cute little outdoor Plaza with a bunch of mom and pop shops! I love the fact they have organic coffee!! I've only had organic coffee from store-bought grocery stores and never an actual coffee shop so I was very impressed! Once I walked in, I was more surprised to see they still had fresh pastries left so late in the afternoon!! They also had gluten-free items and vegan items!! Wow, this is my kind of place!! I ended up buying two of those skinny little shortbread cookies, not pictured, but they were delicious!! Not too sweet but a little chewy so they worked perfectly with my iced almond milk latte! The espresso was there medium roast style, I really wanted to try their medium/mild Over cup of coffee, but it was a little late in the day for that. The gentleman told me that mild goat roast sold the most. So I will definitely go back and try that as a pour over coffee. I also love the cute country barn aesthetics in the area, but it was very well lit and looked very friendly and open! They also had a handful of Retail items one could buy to brew their own teas and coffees at home! I love this cute and I can't wait to come back to shop here again but without my puppies so I can spend longer at each place. Lol the distillery, region had one of the best selections of wine that were already chilled and a cool interactive Way of pouring where you slide your card into the machine like a updated vending machine with wine?! Look for my review!! They also have delicious restaurants, and quaint little shops! I will definitely be back!!! read more

Taylor Lane beckoned us not 1, not 2, but 3 days in a row during our recent Sonoma Coast/Sonoma County road trip. My husband and I loved this awesome cafe for all the things: the coffee, the food, the really cool space, the friendly staff, and the fact that they offered solid vegan and gluten-free options to enjoy! The cafe (or Coffee Bar), located in The Barlow, is super spacious and has this fun, industrial & artsy vibe with no shortage of seating options in their main shop area, 2nd story loft and outdoor patio. There's this great energy to this place, and the crew here surely enhances that, especially Jayden (who took our order on the 3rd day we dropped in). Big thanks to him for the smiles and great interaction! Depending on the time/day, we got plant-based lattes (almond or oat milk), matcha lattes, and Kombucha (which they had on tap). Food-wise, we were so stoked to find they have a great vegan & GF Banana Bread, and two different types of avocado toast. The Tomato Avocado Toast was as fresh & tasty as it was pretty! What makes us love this sweet local company even more is their sustainable, small batch approach to their roasting process. Locally roasted, organic, fair trade certified beans. They certainly are the best of Sonoma County's spirit in a cup! read more

First time at this coffee shop and I love it here. The interior is so cozy and the vibes were on point. I love that they have a lot of outdoor seating and indoor seating.

Will definitely come back again. read more

My daughter and I stopped in on Mother's Day and had the nicest experience. Mariah created a lemonade/strawberry drink at my request, and it was so delicious.

Many thanks, Mariah! read more

Stopped here during a bike ride and loved it! I ordered an iced Americano, and it was smooth, bold, and not overly iced. I also appreciated being able to add my own milk and sweetness. The staff are super friendly and happy to help recommend a coffee that suits your taste. They offer a great variety of flavors, from light and fruity to rich and bold. The atmosphere is welcoming and laid-back, perfect for a quick stop or a relaxed coffee break. Don't miss their $1 off coffee special from 7:00 to 7:30 AM if you're an early riser! read more

I recently went to the Taylor Lane finally for the first time after missing the Petaluma one for years! I absolutely love this location. The rustic inside is two stories with plenty of seating, acting well for a third space. The large garage-like glass door also allows for lots of natural light which is a must-have for me! The service was quick, and my vanilla latte was delicious. I adore when coffee shops include latte art, and my coffee came with a heart in the foam! Overall it was a pleasant experience and I look forward to returning! read more

Ah, Taylor Lane. You haven't lived until you've been barked at by a Taylor Lane employee for asking for whipped cream too late. Why not ask your customers if they want whipped cream on taking their order, like...you know...every other coffee shop? Used to come semi-regularly, but the poor service wears on a person and there are never any pastries to choose from. An easy "pass" now. read more

I got the ham and cheese breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. They had run out of the normal ham and cheese croissant that it comes on so I switched it for the pesto and cheese one and I think it was an even better substitute. I will definitely be doing that again in the future read more

Taylor Coffee was the first stop on our day trip to Sebastopol/Bodega Bay, and we arrived at the cafe bright and early on a Saturday morning. Their menu includes all the classic coffee and tea offerings, and their pastry case displayed impressive-looking croissants and muffins. I ordered a chai latte for my friend and a drip coffee for myself, and I was delighted that they offered oatmilk for the drip coffee without an extra charge. The coffee was smooth and balanced, and it provided a much-needed caffeine boost. My friend's chai latte took nearly 10 minutes to prepare - even though there wasn't a line ahead of us - but she confirmed that the latte was solid. Taylor Coffee is set in an open-aired marketplace that includes plenty of eateries and a Marker's Market on Saturdays. There is plenty of outdoor seating available if you have time to linger before starting your day. read more

Came here with the sister for breakfast. We ordered a chai tea latte, hot chocolate and avocado toast to share. Service was friendly and quick. I asked for the toast to be cut in half and she gave us an extra plate since we were sharing. Loved my chai! Perfect spice mixed with sweet. The toast was hearty! We sat upstairs which was quiet and perfect for conversation. I love the chill space, high ceiling, wooden/industrial feel of the place. Give Taylor Lane a try! read more

Great coffee shop at The Barlow. Today my husband and I decided to try this place out. They had indoor and outdoor seating. They also had seating on a second floor where we found lots of folks quietly working/studying. Downstairs and outdoors is where most customers were having vibrant conversations. I tried the Mocha coffee and their poppyseed muffin. Both were delicious. My husband doesn't usually drink coffee, but he did try vanilla latte and breakfast ham sandwich. He enjoyed both. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Overall, the shop gave a very inviting feeling we both enjoyed. Thank you for a pleasant morning. read more

I tried Taylor Lane recently for the first time after the IPA10K at The Barlow! Love the convenient location in The Barlow (across from Fern Bar), the open-air two-story setting, and the industrial-chic quiet upstairs seating area. There's also some seating on their front patio. What I ordered: -Latte - it felt like a warm hug after the run in cool temps -Croissant Sandwich with egg, cheese, and pesto - this was also warm and satisfying. The egg was hard boiled (I expected scrambled but didn't ask, and hard boiled makes more sense for quick prep). I'd eat it again but I'd explore some of the other menu items first. I'll definitely be back when I'm next at The Barlow! read more

Well we all know the coffee shop options are endless in Sebastopol, but I saw great things about Taylor Lane while researching the Barlow. Approaching the coffee shop I was happy to see a BLM art piece right outside. Walking into the shop, my partner and I were helped right away. The barista taking our order carried an unenthusiastic and hubris energy, but at least the beverages and pastries were delightful! Although I loved the aesthetics, art, and ambiance -- the chairs were uncomfortable for a longtime coffee hang. Taylor Lane has the right idea, but didn't deliver 5 stars in my experience -- great location though! read more
