Sonoma Cheese Factory

We stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. The staff is super friendly and engaging. We walked around town a bit and came back for lunch. AMAZING! We had the 3 sides and a side of bacon. All of it is super delicious! Also a side of Mac and cheese! Awsome!

Not to be dramatic, but the smoked turkey sandwich is quite literally the best sandwich I’ve ever had. Cheese is melted perfectly, and it comes with some sort of green sauce that will change your life. Idk, I can’t describe it. Just go try it.

Sleeper breakfast spot! Absolutely incredible breakfast options. Dog friendly out front! You need to get the brisket breakfast burrito! You won’t regret it!

The ham and cheese croissant was exceptional. It was the best ham and cheese type croissant in my life and great value for money. There was a lot of meat inside and it had a very rich and smoky flavour. The cheese was melting and balanced the meat flavour well. The croissant itself was also made really well. It was a warm delight and I wish I had a chance to try it again. Definitely recommend! Overall the place is more like a deli store with some pastries, wine as well as cheese and other products

Nice place for breakfast - we had the avocado toast and the brisket, it was super delicious. Its a good place to start before going on the winetastings!

I haven’t been here since 2014, and I’m so glad I returned! I absolutely love their cheese selection and enjoying a few glasses of wine while I nibble on the goodies I purchased. Such a fun place with knowledgeable staff and nice outdoor seating to enjoy wine and snacks.

We walked in expecting a quick "on the go" breakfast. Wow! We were blown away with the breakfast sandwich. My husband had the ham & cheese croissant (added bacon) and I had the ham, egg & cheese croissant. They were both delicious! And, the coffee was very good, as well. Will be back.

A homely sandwich and coffee spot. Had their brisket sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed their sandwich. Nice and juicy. Had their Cafe au Lait. Was on a milder side for its coffee. Smelled their coffee beans and liked their “Sonoma’s Best” and “Let’s Go Camping”

Cutie little spot with tons of cheeses, a cafe, and food/gift items. We were walking around Sonoma and saw this store so we peeked in. Ended up getting coffee but they have a huge variety of cheese (shocking)! There’s a restaurant next door, too.

We stopped by here for lunch and what a great spot! We all had sandwiches which were huge and so filling! They were super tasty. The staff were lovely and I loved the feel of this place, we ate our lunch outside. We had just come from a wine tour so purchased some of the local cheese here too.

The Chorizo sandwich was excellent with some heat in the meat. Wife's Cubano was also well received. Prices reasonable for the area.

We just wanted to get a cheese plate, and at the sonoma cheese factory, we found so much more. From their wine, water, and beer selection to the vast cheese options, it was nearly overwhelming. Luckily, the gents at the front directed me to a curated collection of fine cheeses, olives and cured meats. We then discovered a smoky bevvy of tritip, nachos and brisket. A deli seating experience and smokehouse flavor. Overall 10/10, a spot to visit while you experience Sonoma. #hiddengem

Highly recommended. Good sandwich. Great selection of cheese and wines.

My husband and I love coming here for lunch. The brisket sandwich and chicken ham sandwich with a side of potato salad were delicious!

I thoroughly enjoyed the very very delicious chili here; it was a perfect ratio of all of the ingredients accompanied by a nice but and some excellent, buttery sourdough bread and it was also a very excellent value! I was so pleased that they seemed to have something for everyone here as I'm not usually much of a sandwich person. My husband's tri tip sandwich was great tasting as well. Excellent, friendly, and inviting service!

The 3 slider combo was delicious and the Mac n Cheese is literally to die for! Food was fresh and they had ice cold glass bottles drinks and alcoholic drinks too. Definitely worth checking out if and when you're in the area.

Great place with excellent selection for artisanal items that pair well with whatever wine you’re tasting in the area. Perfect place to start the day, take a lunch break, or finish adventures over a beer or plenty of other beverages.

Cheese, wine and charcuterie meats on the square. The store is a little tired and looks like it is closed from the outside, but they have a very good range of cheeses and meats and lots of other goods as well. So look past the 1970s ambience and enjoy all that is on offer.

In the beautiful environs of the old Cheese Factory, new Butchermans has only premade sandwiches ($17), no deli, and no Sonoma Cheese! I got the Mac& cheese which was served cold and tasted bland. Long walk to pickup too. Too bad, used to love this place.

Great cappuccino and service from barrista. Even though the mushroom burger I had on the same day was disappointing, I was impressed and delighted to receive a personal phone call from John, in their corporate ops, who was genuinely interested in my feedback. I can’t wait to go back and try their food again and hopefully come back and up update this review to five stars:^)

I’ve never been here before. From internet research I was under the impression it was a cheese and wine and maybe specialty food item store. The google description says “Relaxed venue with cheese samples, grilled meats, wine tasting and other local goods.” It does have a nice selection of cheeses in a cooler, but the store is oddly compartmentalized into a sandwich ordering counter, a small wine tasting area, and the whole back of the store was some sort of food pickup (maybe the sandwiches, it wasnt clear). There were speakers blaring loud music. Even if you wanted to taste wine the blaring speakers made us move past and out the door, you wouldn’t even be able to hear what the wine host would be saying and all you would be looking at is people standing in line ordering sandwiches. Just wanted to let others know, to me, this was not a “relaxed venue.” To me it seemed to be more like a deli.

I was expecting everything to be perfect, but I ended up hating my hazelnut croissant because it was dry and not flaky. I asked an employee why it was dry, and he told me it was from Friday. It was Sunday afternoon, and they refused to make an exception to provide something fresh. This shows they’re knowingly selling old, dry baked goods without any concern. I refuse to support this place anymore and will dispute the charge with my credit card company. It’s a shame because the place looked so inviting—only to reveal itself as just a facade.
