My family and I dropped by this place for some lunch and was surprised when we found the outdoor seating. We came here during covid times so it was all outdoor seat. All tables were far apart from each other and had a beautiful sunny view towards the ocean. They allow 2 people per party to enter inside and one must wear a mask to be served. We ordered quite a few things - a pumpkin spice latte, latte, salmon flat bread ($16), blackened chicken sandwich, local burger, a side of fries ($5) and griddle plate. I was surprised at how great all the food tasted. Sometimes when we travel to local sea side locations the food is pretty much for tourists and are subpar. This place was phenomenal! I ate the smoked salmon flat bread topped with avocado, and 2 eggs with your choice of style. I had mine sunny side up. My boyfriend got their local farm raised burger and the patty was HUGE. My mom tried the blackened chicken sandwich and thought it was good. For the total we paid about $76. There were quite a few people there but service was overall pretty quick and friendly. The woman was super sweet and gave us a quick breakdown on terms of what she would recommend. They also have a restroom in the back with a lockpad but very clean when entered. They also offer different soups that are refigerated/frozen and they also sell whole cakes! I think this is a great place to visit for a quick breakfast, lunch or snack! Highly recommend this place! read more

Great food, and wonderful view. Service is good for quasi self serve establishment. Counter workers are polite and cheerful. Trinks has become a family favorite for coffee, scones and a hearty breakfast. read more

WHAT A GEM!!! i wish I could give this place a bonus star. I can't say enough good things. If you're asking a specific question about coming here, the answer is: whatever you're hoping to confirm that you will go. I got the Friday dinner bonus menu item -- a crispy spicy fried chicken sandwich.... I fell in love. The house cut fries cried with joy just to commingle with this glorious sandwich. Perfectly lean, juicy chicken breast with the perfect thin but crispy crunchy batter... the slaw... the spicy sauce. THE BUTTERY FLAKY BISCUIT. When I picked it up I couldn't resist the chocolate strawberry cake nor the $22 bottle of local rose. Lots of other wines, single bottles of beer, and other to go items like major grocery staples available too (order groceries online ahead of time). Thanks, Trinks! PS: get their rocky road bites at Surf Market read more

Food and coffee are very delicious! Pancakes is a must try! I am a big fan of pancakes and will try it at every breakfast restaurant when I can. And the pancakes here is very delicious! I was in Gualala for few days and before heading back to the city. I found this place thru Yelp and was able to try it out. Food was very yummy and the view at the outdoor seating was very nice and chill. Would definitely go back if I am around. read more

My husband and I came here in early November during Covid and surprisingly there were plenty of outside seating available. The tables were distanced and sanitized. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered the big boy breakfast and the griddle combo. The food was good and satisfying. We also ordered the mocha and vanilla latte and both were delicious! read more

Trinks - Big boy breakfast and griddle combo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gualala, California

Ordered the burger and a side of fries. The fries were crispy and the side of ranch they provided upon our ask included a bit of a citric zest to it which was refreshing. The burger was one of the best burgers I'd had in a while. The tomatoes and onions were fresh and the patty was a more thick patty. I ordered medium rare but it came out more medium/ well done. Still tasted great though. Also ordered a Pumpkin Spiced Latte. It was my first time ever getting it and it did not disappoint. read more

Wow. Wow. Wow. We've been to the area at least a dozen times. We've always stopped by, for a little snack, and it's always been great. But this last visit, blew us AWAY! Let's start with the whole peach pie. Thick, flaky crust. Semi-sweet peaches. Absolutely perfection. You get the glass pie plate and all, if returned, you get money back. It's huge and serves 10+, for $30 you cannot go wrong! Now onto the cookies: our two favorite, the chocolate sea salt caramel. Little chocolate nuggets with a dollop of caramel inside. Slightly salty and so good, you'll go back for more. Don't skimp, just buy them all! Next, the ginger molasses cookies. Chewy, flavorful, chunks of ginger. They were perfect with a hot cup of tea while admiring the pristine ocean waves of the Sea Ranch area. Lastly, we preordered a cake. Chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate frosting. It was 6", but 4 layers. It was the moistest, semi-sweet, delight of a cake I have ever had! Every single one of us was awe-struck. It was so good, we even found a way to Travel home with it... Not to mention, they have all kinds of pre packed, frozen and dry good to grab and go! read more

OMG! Delicious food. I had the veggie breakfast sandwich, which was amazing. And the bread was so fresh. I ordered a house made Chai Latte with Oat Milk. I've tried a lot of Chai's, but I have to say, their's is one of my favorite. It was full of flavor with cinnamon sprinkled on top, yet perfectly balanced, not too sweet or overly spicy. For a treat after breakfast I had the mixed berry pie. It was warmed up with whipped cream on top. It was probably the best pie I've ever had! Not only is the food great, but all of the staff were super friendly as well, and I appreciated their warm genuine smiles. read more

Really enjoyed the food and outside seating. Everyone was very accommodating and I enjoyed that my doggo was welcome in the outside dining area. Explored the seaside trail after the meal which also was lovely. read more

This place lives up to it's reputation. So first, the COVID report. There was good distancing and signage with some hand sanitizer, but having said that, I don't think they're doing a great job of wiping down table tops. Maybe bring some wipes just in case. There was decent distant seating and everyone was friendly - the service was really good. Okay, now about the food. I had the smoked salmon flatbread breakfast with two eggs. It was incredibly flavorful with a hot sauce that I think was homemade or doctored. Really, really good. If I had any complaint, their homemade flatbread seemed like it needed a little more crunch. But, all the fixings of this dish was amazing - capers, onions, sauce, eggs, salmon. Just wow. I ordered a Mocha - they topped with cinnamon. Hello? Now my absolute ask with every mocha I'll ever order. My wife ordered a ham and bacon sandwich for breakfast w floppy bacon - sounds simple, right? I can't tell you the number of times we've ordered floppy bacon and it comes back overcooked. This bacon was perfect! I would definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

A staple of the Gualala community. Trinks is family run and the food is made form the heart. They make their bread and pastries in house. You order up at the counter then take a number to your seat. They have indoor and outdoor seating, some even with a view of the ocean. I've had the blackened chicken sandwich and lamb sandwich. Both are phenomenal, filled with meat and fresh ingredients. The ciabatta it comes on is also the perfect vessel for the sandwich. read more

We've been coming up to sea ranch for a couple years with my partners parents and have always stopped by here for coffee. This time was the first time we tried the breakfast and we were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast tacos we ordered. They were a bit spicy due to the chorizo. And for sweets we split a cinnamon twist,lemon cookie and a snicker doodle! All very moist and the cinnamon twist happened to be our favorite! Service was very nice. read more

Dill cream was amazing. Inspiring dish and flavor combos. Loved all of the flavors ... very Interesting but wouldn't order again. Too many lentils, wished for toast on the side. My husband would say NO SHIT, WHO ORDERS LENTILS FOR BREAKFAST. So there's that too read more

Good food, good view, good vibes. Can get busy but absolutely worth the wait. Staff are very nice.

Sandwiches scones and pies are all x-cellent. out third visit over 5 years and prices have inched up--but still good value for the quality

In this little cute town of Gualala Cali everyone recommended this spot. They mentioned that they had the best coffee and let me tell you they were right. You must try the coffee ! I had an Americano with , Splenda, cinnamon powder and cream! It was amazing. Staff was nice. We got scold for not wearing a mask. Bring your mask they will not provide you one. I got the breakfast with potatoes and bacon sourdough and two eggs sunny side up it was delicious. My husband had a chicken fried sandwich that he did not quite enjoy. He kept complaining all day that he was burping it up. If I ever go back to this little town I will definitely be back to this spot! read more

The food is yummy! Mostly self serve. Outside area wonderful ocean view over the lawn.

We popped in on a whim trying to find access to a trail to the ocean. I decided I needed a pastry and coffee and didn't think I would find such an adorable cafe with wine and cheese, pre made dinners, and fresh meat - along with baked goods! The kids and I decided on scones: raspberry chocolate, blueberry lemon, and ginger. Kids had hot chocolate and I had coffee. we decided to rate our experience a 4 because if you go through the effort of providing such a wonderful retail experience, the least you could do is make a decent hot chocolate using hot milk instead of water. It's a very slight negative - we surely anticipate a return to enjoy all they have to offer for breakfast and maybe a ramen kit for dinner. read more

Ok food. Extremely pricy. They are fresh . Pastries are nice . The view is breathtaking

View is amazing, food is amazing, and service is amazing! This is a must visit when visiting gualala!

We've had a vacation home up here for years and Trinks never fails to cook up the yum! From lunches burgers, sandwiches, home made bone broth to magic bar, best Chai latte and best coffee latte ever once they were only open for drinks and recommended the crab shack behind Jay Bakers for lunch omg! I don't know what the deal was with That one negative review who only thought the view was nice, but Trinks does an amazing job with local farm fresh organic as much as they can & options for gluten-free & dairy free. Scones & muffins were the most moist i had ever experienced! ...and the view is Amazing & dog friendly! read more

How have I not written a review for our favorite sit down breakfast spot in Sea Ranch? Trinks is a breakfast and lunch spot where you order at the counter, snag a table, then wait on your food to be brought by wait staff. They have a great breakfast and lunch menu. I regularly go there with diners who are omnivores, vegetarians, and gluten-free and all can get great meals here. I think the lentil breakfast bowl with a side of sausage/bacon is a hidden gem. On weekends, they usually have a chorizo breakfast taco special that is delish. Even though it gets busy on weekends, you can almost always grab a table after ordering and food comes fast. During covid, we call in our order and pay ahead of time and take the food back home. Can't say enough great things about the staff and food here. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a drive. I want to recommend this place to everyone I know. Amazing food, amazing scenery, astoundingly affordable. I will be thinking about those eggs & bacon for days. Got a simple drip coffee and it was so good I almost got more despite being caffeine sensitive. Absolute perfection, no notes. read more

Good food. They also have a wide variety of pastries. Great ocean views! It gets busy, arrive early.

Trinks is always excellent. Today I got the egg/and cheese sandwich w/ avo. tomatoe and lettuce. So Yum! Cappucino and baked goods are Gorge-a-licious! A great place to lunch after a twisty windy drive down the coast. read more

I just took my mom to Gualala this week for her 80th Birthday (Aug. 3, 2021. Trinks let me arrange ahead a time a special birthday cake to make my mom's birthday extra special. We are both used to 105 degree temps because we live inland. Sitting on the patio with our perritos, enjoying the cooler weather, appreciating kind staff and the fresh and tasty food was better than being in a resort! read more

We had Trinks delivered to the house we stayed in at Sea Ranch this past week. Yes, you read that right. Delivered! We've been coming to Sea Ranch for 15 years for me and 35 years for my husband and this was a first. It was just a $15 delivery fee and came right when they said it would. We wanted to support local business while up here, but are most comfortable with delivery during the pandemic, so this was a very pleasant surprise. As for the food, the cold soba noodle salad with fresh Dungeness crab was hands down my favorite dish and was a very generous portion. I had it for lunch the next day too. The ribs and fried chicken sandwich were tasty as well. Highly recommend delivery while you're up here on Wednesdays and Fridays! Just check out the rotating menus they publish on their website. And call in early. Thanks, Trinks! read more

This is a nice place to stop for lunch when driving on Highway 1. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed our burgers, and shared several tasty cookies. However, the brownie I sampled was overly sweet, and was not very chocolaty. read more

We came here two days in a row. A local spot with great baked goodies and everything local and organic. The scones are really amazing. We tried the ginger and ham & Swiss. They are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The tuna melt was deeeeelicious! I'm not a fan of salad but their salad is even good. Their dressing really makes it, plus it's not just lettuce. There are radishes, carrots, tomatoes and cucumbers. On Sunday wanted to try their fries but no fries were available. Sad. Hopefully will be back to try them another time. read more

Best baked goods on the coast! The grass fed Richardson burger is delicious and the cows come from down the road. We actually saw some of them getting rounded up on Highway 1 a couple of weeks ago. Trink's is gluten-free and vegan friendly! Pop in to buy local soups and meat to go in their fridges. They are comparably priced to those found in the Bay Area. This is the most reliable, busy and tasty place in Mendonoma. Other restaurants come and go, but Trink's has outlasted many of the eating establishments in Gualala. read more

This place is so good, we went twice in one trip. The first time we popped in around lunch. They seem pretty busy most days, but the line was never very long. The hubs got a BLT that had smoked salmon in it. This thing was amazing!!!!!!! So good. I got a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. This was pretty good, but not as good as the BLTS. I also had a quinoa corn salad that was also super tasty. The second time, we came in for breakfast. They had pancakes, so my husband wanted to have those... He said they were really good, especially with the homemade blackberry jam that they have at the tables. I had the everything bagel and lox - I don't think they had this on the menu, but I figured they probably had it, so I asked. They basically give it to you and you assemble - They give you the lox, bagel, cream cheese, capers, onions, and wedge of lime. They're smoked salmon is super good. Loved this. Great little spot for breakfast/lunch! read more

Awesome local place. Great pastries. Great breakfast and lunch options. Clean. Efficient. High quality food and service. Wonderful to eat out on the lawn on a sunny day. Also many frozen options for dinner. Worth a visit. Our favorite in Sea Ranch/Gualala! read more

Our breakfast here was tasty. Our espresso was decent. We nabbed the only table left and it was outside. Food was expensive yet satisfying. We had various breakfast sandwiches. Mine had egg, ham, and cheese on a bolillo roll. Yum. People seem to hang out for the wi fi. Our server at the register was ok. Our server who ran the food out was sweet. A nice option for breakfast. Not a sit down and be waited on place, but not every day warrants that, right? read more

Trinks is a slice of heaven on earth. Gualala. Trinks. The works. It is the only place in Gualala that has wifi that I know of. The cookies and tarts are fantastic. The coffees are great. Have your treats on their patio. It's the only way to soak in the view and the ocean. Lots of flowers and herbs in bloom. I have not let many in on this secret yet, but I think Gualala being one of the southernest part of the Mendo coastal towns, is a bit like Bergen minus the fjords. The ocean is untainted, the trees are greener, the restaurants and cafes are more casual and people are super friendly. Every bit of Northern European coastal town if you ask me. Trinks delivers that slice of magic. I believe a return is warranted in the near future. read more
