Estero Cafe

Such a gem at Valley Ford, Ca. I drove from Petaluma and just the driving was fantastic. The breakfast is terrific. Customer service is out of this planet. Its simply awesome and delicious 😋 . ++home made sauces , great looking 🍪.

Breakfast was absolutely delicious with homemade strawberry jam and the bacon was good too! Hash browns had some kind of herb in them that was absolutely a game changer! Love this little cafe!

This is a must stop!!!!!! We had breakfast here and it may just be the best breakfast I have ever had! I had the chicken fried chicken and it was delicious. Plus I wish I could have the recipe for the Estero iced coffee. Or let me know how to have it shipped….. it was that good. The homemade biscuits were recommended by the Amish in line and they tasted like grandma just pulled them out of the oven. Too bad we didn’t have time to go back for lunch.

I thought I would just grab a cup of tea to go, but once inside at precisely 8am, I decided I was actually pretty darn hungry. The tea had really good flavor, and I was offered more water as I ate. The breakfast of eggs, not your boring old hash browns, and thick bacon were just what I needed after a long beach walk. The gentlemen were kind, and the food supports local. Win win!! I plan on returning soon. Thank you!!

We had wanted to stop here the last few times we were at Bodega Bay, but the timing was off as far as we had already eaten by the time we passed there. We will never make that mistake again! The food was so delicious, and the portions were more than ample. Looking forward to stopping there again on our way to or from Bodega.

Excellent breakfast burrito. House made hot sauce had unique taste and it went rly well with the burrito

While visiting Sonoma County, we stopped by Estero Café for breakfast—and what a great find! I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and it was so delicious I almost ordered a second one! Believe it or not, it was my first time trying the dish, and now I’m hooked. We also enjoyed the French Toast Combo and the Breakfast Burrito with bacon—everything was flavorful and satisfying. We left our plates completely clean! The staff was kind and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. If you’re in the area—or even a short drive away—it’s definitely worth the stop!

We had just spent the night at Nick’s Cove and needed breakfast. My wife found this place, so off we went. It was awesome! Farm to fork and everything tasted delicious. We ate outside on the patio. Their coffee hit the spot and the food was delicious. We had the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. The service was superb and the team taking care of us was delightful. We will be back!

This is a classic little hidden gem. We were pleasantly surprised when we stopped for breakfast on a foggy morning. It’s cute and quaint - typical small coastal town cafe. We loved that everything is sourced locally. The breakfast salad was amazing - and the the cheese OMG it’s so good! Don’t skip the sourdough toast with their homemade strawberry preserves. Grab a fresh baked cookie to go for the road.

Delicious! Crab omelet, absolutely the freshest around. Side salad seemed like the spiniach, lettuce were picked just before serving. Make sure you get the home made strawberry jam if available. You will want to eat it right from the jar!!

Awesome food, not inexpensive but absolutely worth it. Staff was very friendly.

Emily Potts

My family and I were not disappointed! After camping at Lawsons Landing the night before and riding the Harleys the whole day prior we were hungry and wanted something warm to fill us up. The overall service was great, food was delicious, restrooms are clean and staff is friendly. Don’t hesitate to give this place a try!

These people are working very hard to provide high quality service and food during the pandemic. Good food, excellent service, friendly staff and clean environment. Crab Benedict special was fabulous. Price was not posted for special and was high at $27 before tip.

If you are remotely near here, or fancy a trip, this is a not-to-miss spot. The staff are super, super friendly and the food is outstanding. We were in for breakfast. Great coffee, great eggs, great bacon, so glad I took the server's advice on the Hashbrows - also great. Wife loved her sausage and the bread is amazing. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the lunch page of the menu! In the parking lot are a wall of flowers that are home to hundreds of Monarch butterfly's. It was such a treat to spend our meal watching them flutter about, knowing how endangered they are! Pro tip. The Jalapeno hot sauce is home made and goes great on everything. Also, they will sell you a bottle if you ask. You should!

Best breakfast cafe in the area. Large selection of breakfast options. We had an omelet, and the kids had avocado toast with sunny side up eggs! Everything was cooked to perfection! For dessert we had the GF waffle and French toast. So delicious!

Nice cafe. The server was sweet to accomodate us at 2.45 and also was patient with customizations to make our order eggless and vegatarian. Really appreacite it. Garden salad and breakfast burrito with beans was yum!

1. This restaurant is right next to the Ford market so it's easy to spot. 2. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were very patient with us as we were a large group. 3. Their drinks were also very good. I would recommend their freshly squeezed OJ, their iced tea, and their lemonade, which is also fresh. 4. Their service is also quick considering we ordered 10 dishes. 5. I would definitely recommend their Sonoma omelette, with hash browns and sour dough bread. Their mushroom melt is also pretty good. Their Sonoma omelette and mushroom melt pretty much have the same filling so it tastes more or less the same. 6. Their breakfast burrito was also good. 7. Their prices are on the higher side. Normally I would pay around $15 or $16 for something like this. But this was closer to $25. Overall I would recommend this place for brunch if you're staying nearby. I would also recommend this place if you have to drive 15 minutes out of your way. It was very satisfying.

Excellent place to have breakfast. The food was amazing, and so was the service. I would highly recommend it and will come again when we're passing through.

Maybe we were there when short staffed but it was a bit chaos with no one noticing us and a bit off for the order 🥲The food was OKAY but was it it worth 20-ish? Perhaps there’s was no too many options to pick from around here😅

Maybe I just keep hitting it on a bad day, because most reviews say this spot is excellent. Each time I’ve been there, the waffle machine is broken (visits are months apart). The most recent time, I went with biscuits and gravy and the amount of gravy was a joke. Not to mention, it took a very long time to get our food and the service was almost nonexistent. Very expensive for just okay. It’s hard to want to return.

Both of us had the mushroom melt on sourdough. It was mediocre at best and with the outrageous price it was poor at best. The buttered bread and cheese overwhelmed the thin layer of mushrooms. The texture of the sandwich just didn't work, with mushrooms and spinach falling out on every bite. Side salad was the mixed greens you would get at the grocery store packaged, with some red onion on top. That was it. The onion rings were super thin and the batter fell off before you could dip. No texture and no crunch. Very disappointing. Wish I took a picture. The road noise is pretty terrible on the patio. We were there an hour before lunch closing. Service was wonderful and warm.
