4 Best Brunch Spots in Sonoma

For over 20 years, The Girl & The Fig has been serving up country food with a French flair alongside fine wines. Gather a group of friends together and head to the rustic bistro on Saturday or Sunday, when you can snag a spot on the outdoor patio and sip on Bellinis or Bloody Marys. For the main course, we recommend trying the salty caramel sticky roll, smoked salmon benedict, or pancakes with blueberry syrup and orange-mascarpone crema. After brunch, explore Sonoma’s favorite restaurants to complete your culinary adventure.

If you want to grab a quick bite before heading to wine tasting with friends, stop by Basque Boulangerie Cafe to sample melt-in-your-mouth pastries and delectable baked goods. Offering everything from almond and blueberry cheese croissants to cherry strudels and apple walnut danishes, Basque Boulangerie has something to satisfy every type of sweet tooth. (If you want something savory, they also have a cafe menu that includes burritos, paninis, and breakfast sandwiches.) Wash it all down with some organic coffee or tea.

Located in a historic home in downtown Sonoma, Sunflower Caffe features a seasonal menu and locally sourced ingredients. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, try the coconut chia seed pudding or peaches ‘n’ cream waffle (a heavenly concoction made of freshly harvested peaches, whipped creme fraiche, peach ginger sauce, and organic maple syrup). If you prefer something a bit heartier, try the Denver omelet or vegetable scramble. To plan around events like the Napa Valley Film Festival, brunch at Sunflower Caffe is the perfect start.

Adjacent to the Sonoma Creek Inn, Creekside Cafe is a down-to-earth dining establishment that is open daily for homestyle breakfast and lunch. Choose from an assortment of egg scrambles and omelets, pancake combinations, biscuits and gravy, and south-of-the-border specials like rancheros huevos. If you’re looking for a laid-back atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating as well as friendly service and great food, consider stopping by Creekside Cafe.
