The Twins is our favorite restaurant in Sonoma County. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a go-to for relaxed breakfast and lunch, and the people there are absolutely wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I regularly get the specials, which are usually on a rotation. I particularly like the hashes and crab melt. But there really isn't any way to go wrong: everything I've had at The Twins has been awesome. read more

Five star service. Really. Best beignets I've ever had. Onion rings are beer battered and delicious. I'll be back... read more

Food was as yummy as I remembered. Home cooked fresh potatoes - crunchy and soft interior; homemade biscuts and jam. All food is prepared well. We always stop if we are in the area. PSA: Beignets with coffee are the perfect way to start breakfast. Service is efficient and no better way to start your day with a wonderful breakfast al fresco. read more

I have been here twice in the last 4 days. I had breakfast the first time and lunch today. Service was great! Ask for Victor! The food is incredible! Everything is made from scratch. I literally could drink the ranch. The house made veggie burger was super flavorful, very messy and the picked red onions add that perfect level of tang! I look forward to my next meal. read more

We were going to go to the Himalayan restaurant next door but decided to eat at Twins because it was busy and dishes looked good on peoples tables. Server was super nice. We got the lemon ricotta pancakes, beet and goat cheese salad and Monte Cristo sandwich. My sister enjoyed her pancakes, I tasted it and found them a bit soggy. The salad was disappointing. Just didn't have a good balance of flavors. Dressing needed more acid and less orange bits, more bits and I don't think there was any pecans. I love monte cristo sandwiches and will try them any place I go for brunch. This was ok. I did not like flavor of the SMOKED ham. It was too strong on the French toast. Also, their syrup did not taste like real maple syrup but the fake high fructose corn syrup. read more

Again, this is one of my go-to spots. I've reviewed this one several times. I wish I could just update a previous one. Food and service are both wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love that is has a family feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute and comfy atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had breakfast this morning at The Twins with my family. We have been coming here since they opened back in 2020. During the Covid shutdown, they became my go-to takeout. They used to write positive phrases and messages on their takeout containers to give people a sense of hope and love for the community. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once we were able to dine outside they opened a nice patio area in the parking lot and it was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Twins themselves are wonderful servers/hostesses and they also have a great staff of other servers as well. I am so glad they got through those times and still continue to offer great food to the neighborhood. Their menu is sort of a mix of New Orleans, Mexican and generic American breakfast dishes. They do everything pretty well! I am a big fan of their breakfast tacos as much as I love their beignets and French toast! They also have really good sandwiches at lunch! This morning, I had their breakfast tacos, which are very messy but delicious! My wife had their special omelette, which was stuffed with zucchini, spinach and feta cheese. I love supporting our local restaurants and I think they are worth a visit even if you are coming from out of town. read more

The food here is a step above most diners. So happy to see this place is continuing to receive wonderful reviews. We arrived after the weekend rush and to our surprise, there were open tables! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We normally sit outside but decided to sit in their dining room since it felt spacious and peaceful. It is comfortable and clean inside with some artwork on the wall[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. One of the sweet twins greeted us and invited us to take a seat of our choice. Their menu provides a nice variety of breakfast and lunch options plus a list of specials noted on the wall. My husband saw several things he wanted to try but finally narrowed it down. We decided to order: Eggplant breakfast - breaded eggplant with mushroom gravy, country potatoes, 2 eggs and enormous biscuit Tri tip benedict with bearnaise sauce (special of the day) Grilled chicken sandwich I spotted our server's twin! I wonder if they purposely dress the same to keep us guessing. lol ! They are both so cute and definitely one of the highlights of this place. Warm, welcoming, friendly and ready to help make your dining experience a pleasant and memorable one. They both work non-stop ensuring their guests are having a good time. Our server was refilling coffee, hot water for the tea and iced water without us having to even think about asking. Our dishes looked amazing but it tasted even better. I often order chicken sandwiches and this one was by far the best I've ever had. Honest! I loved the arugula, tomatoes, avocado, bacon, pepper jack cheese with a lemon aioli sauce. The bun is not your typical bun. It is light but hearty and doesn't fall apart as you're trying to enjoy your sandwich. It was quite a lovely sandwich and I enjoyed the hand cut fries too. There was no way I could eat the second half, so lucky me I have leftovers for tomorrow. Our server did mention that the chicken sandwich is one of their most popular dishes. My dining companions thoroughly enjoyed their lunches too. They said everything was seasoned well and tasted fresh and homemade. The tri tip was tender and the eggplant was prepared well and covered in a nice mushroom gravy. My husband really enjoyed his fluffy biscuit too with the homemade preserves. Our tummies were very satisfied and happy as we left. We are looking forward to returning and enjoying some of their other delicious creations. There are a half dozen tables outside on the sidewalk. Plenty of parking shared with other restaurants, shops and Oliver's Market. read more

This place is my favorite breakfast spot, ever! Everything is made from scratch. Fresh pillow like beignets come hot with homemade berry sauce. Eggs Benedict with Meyer lemon hollandaise sauce over fresh made biscuits. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small place with nice outdoor tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is made with love, and the owners Adrienne and Julie are the sweetest people ever. Can't wait to show more friends and family this cotati gem. read more

Found this local restaurant that's a gem. The food was reasonably priced and quality was great. The service was fast and friendly. The pancakes were very well made and they have beignets that were tasty and nice and crispy outside while soft and moist inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor was classical and tasty without detracting from the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was packed on a Saturday morning, but service and food was quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since we were visiting the area we asked one of the twins for advice on things to do and both twins were very helpful and friendly. read more

Love, love, love this place. The food is delicious and plentiful. The staff is friendly and efficient. I come here anytime I'm in the area. Love the Benedict - lots of fresh cooked spinach on top of their homemade biscuits. One of the best Benedicts ever. Friend had the huevos and almost licked the plate. The BLT was huge and delicious as well. read more

I've never been disappointed with The Twins; their dishes are usually top tier. Generous and delicious. Today, however, I had an order to go for a pulled pork sandwich that was not up to par. The meat was way overcooked- see black burned portion in photo - dry and stringy. For $18 I expect much better. Thankful I ordered additional sides or I would still be hungry. Please be consistent. read more

The Twins Restaurant - Portions too burnt to eat. I've ordered this same dish & it's usually tender and succulent. This shouldnt have been served. - American Near Me - Cotati, California

We read about it while looking for somewhere new to try for breakfast. I must say i will be back and it did not disappoint! It's a small to medium size simple looking cafe in the Oliver's Mkt strip mall, owned by twins who's also hired other twins to work at the joint! Anyway, we started with coffee that was excellent, they use Peerless whom i highly approve of. It was hard to decide what to have as so many things sounded great. Plus as it turns out, not only is everything delicious, they are huge portions which can be shared or save half for tomorrow's meal. My husband and i could not resist trying the same thing; an omelette special that had Bri cheese, bacon, mushrooms, sweet grilled onion, and spinach, We both chose the homemade biscuits for our toast that came with wonderful homemade strawberry preserves. The omelette was scandalously, decadently, delicious! It also came with perfectly crisp home fries (tried hubbies), and they allowed me to sub for a lovely mixed baby greens salad with a very very tasty homemade (not bottled!) ranch dressing. They say all their sauces, condiments, and dressing are made from scratch except a few hot sauce bottles on the table. My son got the Country Benedict with subbed Country gravy which was also perfectly creamy and flavorful. I can't wait to try some of their sweet breakfasts where they provide real Maple syrup and fresh berries and homemade whip-cream! I also really want to get to trying the Benedict's with their home made Meyer lemon hollandaise. I saw a lady who ordered a tuna melt with side salad, a HUGE plateful! It was a little crowded, causing a little slow response time to coffee or cream refills, but the quality of everything made up for it. I'll say it again, we'll be back! read more

Second time here and everything was wonderful. The place was packed when we arrived at 11:30 on a Saturday morning but we snagged a table outside under the awning. It was a chilly day but they had ample outdoor heaters that made things comfortable. Husband ordered the chilaquiles rojo and added chorizo, and I went for their two egg breakfast ($10 and comes with two eggs your way, breakfast potatoes, and a slice of toast or biscuit). I opted to go for the $3 up charge for a sausage patty. Where can you get a full breakfast for $13 these days?! Service throughout our meal was outstanding and the food was great. This isn't your typical breakfast/lunch diner- their food is crafted with great care and love and it shows. I was pleasantly surprised when my plate arrived with not one but two sausage patties (was only charged for one). These were clearly house made and were delicious. Their homemade jam was stellar!! As the restaurant is named for the two twin sisters who own the place, they always give a little extra treatment to any twins who might come in. We were seated next to a family who had twin girls, maybe 4ish. The owners brought out a big wooden sign that said "The Twins" and photographed the girls holding it. I believe they keep a photo wall of each of these inside. The whole thing was adorable to watch. What a great way to make your customers feel valued. We happened to be visiting on their 5th anniversary and they had us fill out these little cards with our info- they're doing a raffle and will be giving certain items away. Thought that was a fun touch. The energy here is a lot of fun and the food is really great. We live in Santa Rosa so this place isn't super close but it's definitely worth a special trip. Highly recommend! read more

This is our first visit. We were greeted right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute family operates restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They don't offer fancy latte or other hand craft coffee. Only regular coffee. But let me tell you, their Regular coffee is the best I have ever had. It was not burn, not sour, but smooth and very great pleasing test with milk. My husband had banana pancake, it was very tasty. ( The made it one regular, and one with pan fried sliced banana on the base. )I ordered Avocado toast. Everything was perfect, the lemon vinegar on fresh greens with fresh avocado on top of 2 halves toast, with diced pickled onion. I did not know diced up pickled onion can taste this good on avocado toast. It was so good that I vow to take my family here often. I wish there were 2 poached eggs to get my protein level up. But for the price of $12, it was is very fair. We will come back soon! Ps, one of the twin sister were helping us making choices, she was so helpful and sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, love the decoration in the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Food is fine, but the service! Amazing. Even if the food sucked, which it does not, I'd come here just for the service. The owners are twin sisters and super friendly and fun.

My absolute favorite place for breakfast and lunch in Sonoma county! You can't go wrong with anything you order, it's all delicious.

Would give 10 stars if I could. read more

One of the best place to get chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak. They have two options for gravy which is awesome and a nice change of flavor profile. Eggs cooked correctly.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance really goes well with there "twin" concept in there names.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great modern style location for a breakfast/lunch location.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 4.5/5 stars. read more

My first time here and they had a pulled pork hash advertised as a special. So I gave it a try. While it was tasty overall, it was certainly not hash.. When it was served, it really looked like a plate of food that had just come out of a crockpot. The potatoes were wet, and the pieces of meat were relatively substantial. This does not constitute hash in my eyes where the potatoes and the meat are chopped to an even consistency. That was certainly not the case here. The biscuit was phenomenal and the jam was good. People were friendly and the service was excellent. I might come back here and try something else because the quality of the food was good, it was just, I feel, misrepresented by calling it hash. read more

I've been hearing about this place for years and man am I mad at myself for sleeping on it! I had the Thai chicken wraps (which was the special of the day) with a side salad. The dressing was so tasty (I got the balsamic) and the salad was super fresh. The wrap itself was super big, I took half home. My husband had the breakfast tacos, he said they were an easy 10/10. We also got a short stack...they were so simple, clean and delicious. I know calling the food clean is weird...but what I mean is that you can tell everything is fresh and not processed. It truly is how food is intended to be. Julie, one of the owners and twins, was super pleasant. As were two of the servers, also twins. You can tell they are all happy to be there and sharing the experience with you. Will definitely be back and can't wait to try EVERYTHING on their menu, which will now be my checklist! Oh! And we had the beignets, but I forgot to take a picture. The toppings for them were so yummy! read more

Stopped here for the first time to try this cute restaurant in the plaza in Cotati that features Oliver's Market. I walked in, and it felt inviting, the restaurant dining room was clean and well appointed, I appreciated that efforts were made to transform the dining space from a typical shopping center establishment to something a little warmer. There is an outdoor seating option, on the sidewalk in front. A small countertop surrounds their coffee station where I sat to enjoy breakfast. The two things that seem to stand out to me for this obvious small business that is cared for deeply by the people that operate. It is first the enthusiasm and happiness each team member seems to have. I felt welcomed by multiple ladies on the team, my coffee was refilled attentively, and there was an overall friendly vibe in the place, as I heard waitresses speaking to families at nearby tables. Second - besides your typical breakfast fare, there is a specials menu that seems to have some thought put into it. I believe one of them was a seared Ahi Tuna Benedict, which I thought it sounded interesting. It would be fun to visit in the future to see what the specials are. I chose the "Double Trouble" - your typical American breakfast dish with eggs any way you like them, bacon, or sausage, pancakes, or French toast, and potatoes. The food was cooked to perfection, I had no complaints. I don't prefer breakfast potatoes, but these were good - if it's something you like. The bacon was well done and crispy. Three small suggestions for improvement that to me make a big difference at breakfast: 1) I wish they chose to use pure maple syrup instead of your typical thick non-genuine syrup. I understand it's more expensive. But it would've raised the game on the French toast x 1000. This might not make a difference to everybody, but in general, I do try to clean and I don't like a whole lot of artificial ingredients. I think a lot of folks here in this region do as well. I would've gladly paid an extra $2-$3 for real maple syrup. Perhaps offer it as an option? 2) I would choose different bread for the French toast. Same thing about the cost factor, it's worth an extra few dollars to get something higher grade. The French toast was ok, but for a place that seems to want to separate themselves from your typical diner food to maybe "a cut above" - they could choose some kind of brioche or French bread or similar which would really raise the game. 3) Poor cell service, no restaurant Wi-Fi. A neighboring business offers Wi-Fi so I was able to get some reception. But it is a total cell dead zone inside at least for my carrier. It would be nice if they had dedicated Wi-Fi for clients. All that said - I loved the place and will come back specifically because of the people and what I think are options for family. Plus, a decent value for what you get. I still give them five stars because it felt that way even with those little suggestions that I mentioned. If you are in the area and want a solid breakfast, you will not be disappointment, and you will be well treated. read more

The Twins is the definition of a family run restaurant! The name literally refers to a pair of siblings, who are twins, who run front of house and waitressing. I believe at least one of their husbands works in the kitchen as well. It is a classic diner, located in the Oliver's shopping center with a big parking lot. They have a handful of outdoor seating with propane heaters, as well as indoor table and booth seating. Inside is a little loud with everyone's conversations and the kitchen noise. The staff is so friendly - they'll sit down with you to take your order and are happy to make a recommendation. The food is breakfast and lunch, but a little elevated. I got the tofu scramble (a little bit of spice to it), my mom got the eggs (regular), my sister got the ahi tuna eggs benedict (ambitious but salty), and we all shared a pancake on the side. Everything was great. Will be back when I am in town visiting family! read more

I wrote a review on this place and now it's gone. WTH So I will write another one. I'm not the kind of a guy that bitches about my food but this is pretty poor. Ate at this place a couple months ago. Ordered a ham and cheese omelette. Got my order and the service was good but my omelet wasn't. Got a lot of cheese in my omelette but for the ham they used thin lunch meat ham cut up in little squares. Really you don't use real ham but thin lunch meat ham and for the price. You lost a new customer. read more
