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.

Breakfast Special: Pastrami Hash with Sunny-side eggs

Tracy W.

Another great Yelp referral (yum). We had the breakfast special of Pastrami Hash with home-made jam. I love a good "hash" with real potatoes and sunny-side eggs and I wasn't disappointed. Coffee was freshly brewed perfect. We took advantage of the outdoor ambiance of morning sun and dined al fresco at the picnic tables. Service was spot on. Will come back.

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. Once we were able to dine outside they opened a nice patio area in the parking lot and it was great. 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.

Great food great service I had the full order of biscuits and gravy and a side of crispy bacon, my wife had the two eggs plate with country potatoes and a biscuit with two extra sunny side up eggs. We got there as soon as it opened and started feeling up quick for a Monday and also got to meet one of the twins who was very sweet and talkative with all the guest. Definitely gonna make my way back and try out their chilaquiles.

Perfect place for a hearty meal. Service is friendly and they keep your coffee cup full. The country fried steak and eggs is delicious and tasty. Definitely coming back

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! 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. 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.

Chicken Fried Steak. Really good but different

Awesome service! Small homely restaurant with great food. Portions were huge. They had so many of my favorites, so we will be back if in the neighborhood again.

Fantastic local Cotati restaurant! Crab Louie salad was fresh and delicious. My husband had the crab melt on sourdough, and he loved it too!

Kim G.

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.

We've been coming back to this area for a class once a month, and stopping here for breakfast has been a must to try a new plate. Service continues to nice and lively. Overall, it's a pleasant and welcoming experience each time and the food is delish.

Went specifically for the waffle with real maple syrup. It was tender inside and crispy on the outside, Flavor was good. The staff are very friendly and service was attentive.

Adorable place with theme of The Twins!!!

Rhonda C.

Excellent service and scrumptious food!!! Outstanding establishment and will be back!!!

Portions too burnt to eat. I've ordered this same dish & it's usually tender and succulent. This shouldnt have been served.

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.

We were in downtown Petaluma Friday night waiting on our Uber and checking out Yelp for breakfast places for Saturday morning. Well Adrianne (one of the owners of the Twins) overheard us and recommended we try the place she and her sister own in Cotati. It was so worth the 10-15 min drive north to try this place. The town is so cute and quaint and their restaurant is awesome. The food is absolutely amazing! I got the artichoke Benedict and the eggs were perfectly done and the sauce has a tangy lemon taste to it. Everything we saw getting served to other tables looked absolutely fantastic! The beignets were also incredible with a creamy brandy sauce. You must check this place out and the sisters are so friendly! read more

We are visiting the area and we wanted as a family to find a nice little breakfast Diner to eat at, I always read YELP reviews and this place had some stellar reviews already! Let me tell you they didn't disappoint! We are a family of 6 and we tried everything we could! Nothing disappointed. Between the good food and the great and friendly service of the twins themselves, along with the NEW set of twins they've hired for help we never had to ask for anything.

My friend and I live in Novato, but we had some errands to do in Rohnert Park. On the way back to Novato. We decided we wanted a great home cooked breakfast, so we stopped here. I ordered the eggs Benedict and I didn't want potatoes, since I'm already getting card's with t h e Benedict. Sorry. I don't remember your names. The Twin immediately asked what I wanted extra of for my food. I had my fur baby with me, so we sat outside. I asked for a cup of water for my dog. I was pleasant surprised it was a stainless steel dog bowl. My sister in law had pancakes. They were so fluffy. I asked Amanda what was the rating of the pancakes. She said an A.

My daughter and I went to THE TWINS RESTAURANT on CHRISTMAS eve and it was 2:00 pm. We sit outside under the tent and was greeted immediately with a smile and was asked if we wanted something to drink while we waited on our server. My daughter ordered hot tea and was offered many options while I ordered iced tea. Within minutes, our drinks came out with our waiter who was a young man of about 20 years old. I had brought out with us my two little puppies, and upon seeing the puppies he asked if he could bring them some bacon. So while we looked at our menu, he went and got a couple of pieces of bacon and, I was on a plate to feed the puppies as we sit there. We ordered lunch and my daughter ordered vegetarian tacos which has a vegetarian of 30 years. She said it was very very good with the mixture of the vegetables and the spices she said was something she had never had before, but she would have again. I ordered a Cobb salad with a scoop of tuna and two slices of sourdough bread toasted. I got the Cubs salad and it also had grilled chicken breast along with tarragon dressing, which was a real treat. There were other peoples there with their dogs that ate outside also and so it's a dog friendly restaurant. I really ate. We were constantly waited on whether we needed more napkins or more to drink. The waiter and waitress is very most pleasant and we had a great time and for sure we will be going back, because not only the food was fantastic, but the service was awesome. So if you want breakfast or lunch because that's what they are open till. Give yourself a treat and go to the twins restaurant in Cotati close to Olivers. The prices are most reasonable. read more

The flavor of the curry sauce was addictive. It wasn't spicy, just super flavorful. I ate way more than I I could handle, but that's because it was so insanely good. The vegetables were all cooked properly, to a soft comforting chew, and the rice pulled everything together. 11/10 would highly recommend! My only concern was that I would love to see a vegan option for something with french fries. Other than that this place was a nice gem.

Looking at the menu it all looked great, creative etc. i asked the server shot the food and he said oh everything is made from scratch., etc. we're got two bowls, the dragon bowl and the roast beef bowl to go. We got them home and opened them up. The roast beef bowl was described as being served over a bed of home made mashed potatoes topped with home made gravy and special horseradish sauce. Tasting it, it was a way too salty and the meat was so mushy it blended way too seamlessly with the brown gravy to my taste, ie it was all a mush of sauce over more mushy mashed potato! But i preferred its flavor over the dragon bowl, but definitely did not taste like a home made beef gravy from scratch, it was on the overly thickened by corn starch side, with that fake bouillon taste. Dragon Bowl looks good, topped with crunchy cashews that had slight rancid taste, and fresh green onion. And sadly, the chunks of chicken in it were hard, ie tough, precooked for who-knows-how-long-tasting; old tasting. And the sauce was way too sweet. I was disappointed with the $35 bill. We took the food to go. Once we tasted it at home we basically threw it all in the garbage. What a waste but, yuck. Sorry! Ambiance: The place was empty of patrons, and felt like it was closing now even though they still have 45 min. Our two bowls were ordered were handed to us super fast after ordering, like it took no time to prepare, explaining the poor flavor and quality we experienced, plus look at what others have written about all this premade fast food. I want to give one star, but I'll give 2, in benefit of the doubt they were trying to close early and rushed things vs if it were earlier in evening with more clientele.

I was expecting to feel blah about it. As we went in I saw they named the chef on the outside window, and I thought hmm, interesting. Going in we were greeted by the hostess whose smile was a little too deliberate, maybe it's a required smile enforced by the bosses which can sometimes not be the best feels for the customer. Bosses, please don't do that. But still she was nice and we were seated and helped quickly. They have a great menu with lots of enticing options, it was looking good already. Then we found out they had crab cake eggs benedict! So I skipped out on my other options, pancakes or huevos rancheros, and we split that. The prices seemed kind of high but then where is that not the case these days? Given the feel of the place it seemed fair to me. The food came and it was amazing. Generous amount of crab and it was real crab, with perfect eggs and sauce on a gorgeous english muffin that was... stay with me here I'm not trying to get fancy with prose here, let me just reuse what I said above: amazing. Somehow the muffin was both crisply toasted in butter to a crunch on top (of the muffin), yet amazingly chewy (in a good way) on the bottom. And not soggy, the sauce was well placed on top of the egg above the crab cake. The service was friendly and in all ways perfect. Food came quickly. The place was not noisy or perfumey. My only regret is I can only tell you about that one dish since that's what we shared. I was too full to finish the little smash-grilled baby potato discs so we took some to go. All in all it was fantastic. We will go again next time we are in town. They did try to sell mimosas to us (at 8:30 am lol) but nah we did not go for it.

I only tried the mimosas. After all the name has mimosa in it. So I was HOPING they made great…read moremimosas. Well the mimosa was SO GOOD! It did not disappoint me at all. It was perfect with the right amount of fizz. My waitress was pleasant and friendly. I loved sitting out on the patio people watching and enjoying the sunshine and scenery. It's a cozy place inside or outside. I definitely will return to try more mimosas on my next visit to California.

My husband found the spot so we gave it a try. We came in around 9am on a Saturday and it was…read morepretty busy. We were lucky enough to grab 2 seats at the counter to avoid the wait. They serve lunch item during breakfast which I love but I did end up just getting a side of biscuits and gravy. All home made and so good ! The side was the perfect amount for me and for my husband to steal a few bites. We will definitely stop in again because I see other things on the menu that I need to try. Oh, and even though they were packed the service was excellent.

My sister has been here before and constantly raves about this restaurant. We decided to go and…read moregive it a try today. Service was super slow. We got there at 11 we were seated immediately and it took them about 30 minutes to take our order. Not to mention that the original girl who came to talk to us, was only able to take our drinks and she told us that another server would come back to get our actual food order. The mocha oaxaqueño was actually pretty good. The actual food I got was all right. To be honest it's a little strange when you go to a restaurant and the coffee is better than the actual plate. I got the chilaquiles, normally when you get this plate anywhere else, everything is kind of mixed together, which gives everything a good flavor. In this case the eggs were separated from the chorizo, which was also kind of separated from the actual chilaquiles. Since they were all separated, you couldn't really taste the flavor on the eggs or the chorizo of the Chilaquiles. Therefore, I was not a fan of the dish. I will say that while we were there, no one came to check on us or ask us if we liked our food or if we needed anything. The place inside is very loud and packed. Anyways, it was a little strange to eat somewhere where the server hardly talks to you in a restaurant that is kind of empty. I'm not really sure that the food was good enough for me to come back. But the coffee was definitely good. This would be something I would probably buy for a takeout.

The service was friendly and the place was very clean. The ambiance was a little weird. They have a tv above the kitchen area playing very calming videos of nature with soft, sleepy music playing. The calming atmosphere was nice, but then they started playing some other music on top of the calming music. It was very strange to me. I had an omelette with bacon, cheese and avocado, plus a side of hash browns and toast. I liked that they served it with a nice slice of watermelon. The omelette was fine, but I wish there had been more avocado. There was only a few small slices on the top. My wife had the spinach omelette, which was better than mine. It was full of sautéed spinach and other veggies. To be fair, I feel like I need to come back for lunch or dinner because it seems like that's the better meal to come for.

Despite having…read morethree menus - drinks, dinner, and happy hour - choosing what to order didn't feel overwhelming, and we quickly landed on the anchovy toast, beet salad, shrimp & grits, and mushroom risotto. Our server was incredibly friendly, and the entire room shared the same warm, easygoing vibe. The small, speakeasy themed space was already packed at 5 PM, so reservations seem like a must. Everything we ordered was well-prepared and delicious, but the standout dishes were the beet salad and the shrimp & grits. The beet salad had a perfect mix of textures; chopped pistachios, tender beets, and crunchy radishes over a pillowy ricotta. I finished the salad wishing there was more. The shrimp & grits featured a potlikker sauce that absolutely lived up to the hype; it made the dish. I wish the shrimp & grits were served in a bowl rather than a shallow dish. I found myself chasing the sauce and polenta around the plate, trying not to push it over the edge. That said, if it were in a bowl, I might have just drank the sauce, so perhaps this is the restaurant's way of preserving a bit of dignity for its guests. Next time, I'm hoping to visit when oyster po' boys and fried green tomatoes are on the menu.

I've been meaning to check this place out since they opened, and finally made it in today--worth…read morethe wait. It absolutely lives up to the hype. The vibe is effortlessly chill, with whimsical decor--think antique lamps, an old record player, and lots of little details that make you want to look around. The whole place felt alive in the best way--buzzing with conversation, laughter, and people clearly having a great time. We didn't have a reservation, but lucked out with seats at the community table. Bonus: the other guests were super welcoming, which just added to the fun, communal feel. We hit happy hour, and wow--it's a good one. Tons of interesting bites and a solid drink lineup. I went with a whiskey sour, my friend had the ginger beer on draft (very refreshing), and we shared the prawns, Brussels sprouts, and creamy mac & cheese. Everything was seriously delicious. Shoutout to our server, Melanie--friendly, attentive, and totally on it, even with the place packed. A couple things to note: it does get loud, so maybe not your spot if you're after a quiet, intimate dinner. Also, the happy hour menu listed Brussels sprouts but didn't mention bacon--I'm vegetarian, so that was a bit of a surprise. (It is noted on the regular dinner menu, which I admittedly didn't check.) All in all, such a fun, lively spot. I'll definitely be back for more bites and cocktails.

Great local spot! The food is really really good. And it is beautifully presented. The service is attentive, friendly and accommodating. It's a real family affair, with the twins both working, and one of their husbands cheffing it up in the kitchen. You may have to occasionally, wait a sec to get a table, because news of this level of quality travels fast, but the staff keep things moving so well, that the wait times are brief. I highly recommend this local gem. It's a happy, warm and welcoming place, spreading love in the form of good food. **Update: They just keep getting better and better. I ordered the Loco Moco special today, and golly was it grubbin: - take a look: Mushroom, thick beef patty - cooked to order. And the beignets! Perfection!! The titular twins are such lovey people. They are genuinely warm, kind and joyful. I cannot recommend this place enough! **Update: Ordered the Chilaquilles today. I'm still thinking about it hours later, it was so delicious!!!! read more
