Vegan + Gluten Free

You can taste and feel the love in the food and drinks. Special attention was given to the presentation of our order and everything was a work of art. This is the opposite experience of in and out Starbucks - it takes time to put the love in the drinks and food but it is so worth it! This place feels like you’re visiting a coffee shop in a small European village. The owner and the barista are so warm and welcoming. I wish I took pics of the drinks and food but we were hitting the road and I totally forgot. Please support this 100% vegan small local business.

Pros: 100% vegan with gluten free options, Owner and barista were so warm and helpful , Food and drinks were tasty and filled with love

Cutest vegan coffee shop

We came here 2x because of the fantastic service (the owner is so sweet), the delicious cappuccino (they have their own milk blend), and the excellent bagels. Bagel photo attached with the v cream cheese and greens and flowers. Sooooo good. Their baked goods were super tempting also so we settled for some delicious Oregon chocolates to take on the road. Do not miss this place!

Pros: Cream cheese bagels, Cappuccino , Chocolates

Best bagel + toppings ever

The bagel I had at the Branch Line is the best loaded bagel I’ve ever had! A little weird that they don’t have a menu, but I guess that ensures everything is totally fresh for the day. I had to ask for the bagel with toppings that I’d seen on Happy Cow. It did not disappoint! Perfectly toasted, with vegan cream cheese, avocado, “a little spice” (maybe za’atar & black pepper?), crushed black sesame, beautiful green & purple microgreens, and then she asked if I wanted a tahini drizzle! YES! So umami, so delicious. The organic black tea was excellent, too. Great place in Santa Rosa! And right next to the SMART train station.

Pros: Delicious, All vegan , Very friendly and informative

Cons: Only 3 outdoor tables—no indoor seating

We’re glad they’re here

We came around opening time and they didn’t have very many options. They were out of sesame bagels.😒We ordered poppy seed bagels instead but I think one of them was a salt bagel. The poppy seed one didn’t have many seeds. We liked their shmear here. They use kite hill, an almond based cc. Later we tried their coffee and a blackberry muffin. The coffee was a little sour but my partner says the muffin was good. #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Didn’t have many options

Great Cafe

I really love this place! Drinks are unique and delicious. They make their own syrups and have a few options for lunch. We had the grain bowl, focaccia and a blueberry lemon muffin. Food was freshly made and delicious. Service was fantastic. The owner and her son were very friendly.

We need to try this place again. Guess we need to get there at lunch time. The main place that make all the food for them has a killer avocado toast.

Great vegan coffee shop

Yummy, yummy food and drink. My favorite coffee shop. This is a fully vegan cafe. They are listed a vegetarian because they sell little jars of honey but they do NOT put honey in any of their food or drinks.

Brings the flavor

Get the “siggi” tea latte, just the way they suggest.

Bagel with cream cheese was extraordinary.

Poppyseed scone was quality.

Pros: Everything vegan, (except honey), Friendly, opinionated staff, in the best way, Outdoor seating

Cons: No indoor seating, in case you want that 🤷🏾

Decent but Pricey

Nice space next to the Smart train.

Mostly vegetarian with vegan options, mostly organic (except for the coffee!)

Salads are quite good but very expensive. The bagels are good as well. The coffee was a disappointment: burnt and sour tasting. Bummer since the coffee was what we were really after.

Staff is friendly but can be a bit slow.

Pros: Mostly organic plant based, Nice space with cool tile floors

Cons: Pricey, coffee was a miss, Not open until 9 AM

Wonderful coffee shop

It’s nice to have more plant-based options for dining in Santa Rosa. I highly recommend this spot for your morning coffee or tea.
The food choices are excellent. We had scones and a bagel with cream cheese and greens. The greens consisted of micro greens, arugula, and nasturtiums.

Pros: Very pleasant owners, engaging conversation, Excellent selection of plant based foods, Can’t beat the location

Cons: None

Coffee shop with yummy vegan food near train station

The owner of this place took our order and was extremely helpful. Told us about all the homemade ingredients from the syrups for the coffees to the salad dressings that she makes herself. Everything that isn’t homemade such as the bagels is sourced from local vendors

Pros: Homemade, Local, Quick

Cons: Limited menu

Delicious coffee

Amazing bagel with vegan cream cheese and very delicious vegan muffin! Really good coffee too! 4 stars only because they sell honey but are otherwise a vegan shop! Highly recommend!

Super Friendly and Loving

I initially passed on the salad because of the price and opted for a bagel with almond butter and apricot jam. They forced me into trying the salad by giving it to me. What could I do besides oblige the owner and try her all-organic and locally sourced ingredients. This is a truly organic and vegan establishment sans the sealed, ethical honey jars for sale from a local bee-keeper who actually helps the bee population through his practices. The salad was hearty, substantial, and delicious. I’m glad I gave this place a try, you should too!

Cute Vegan Cafe

Marked vegetarian by Happy Cow because they sell honey separately (it's not used in any of the food), this adorable place is otherwise completely vegan. Their staff is super nice and their scones are fantastic 😍

Pros: Lovely staff, Tasty vegan scones

Lovely café and specialty store

To be completely honest, I was expecting more lunch choices, however there had been some electrical issues at their other site and inventory was on its way. The owner, Justin, was so lovely and steered us to his kale salad with almonds, fennel, quinoa and chickpeas. We had oat milk lattes and a bagel with avocado and greens (really delicious sprouts), salt the a little olive oil. Everything was delicious. We bought a scone and muffin for the next day. The descriptions made them sound irresistible. Justin opened up the retail area of the shop for us and we bought more unusual goodies like peanut butter with coffee, their own pasta with jalapeños, and some all natural skin care products. Fun retail therapy and a delicious lunch.

Pros: All organic and vegan (they do sell honey though), Eclectic retail shop attached, Family owned; Justin’s mom opened the first shop

Cons: Limited food items when we went.

Soft opening

Stopped by for a mocha and check the place out. They are just getting started and will slowly adding food. The mocha was good. When I ordered the barista said they are a plant base place and oat or almond for my mocha. Will update review after trying more goodies.
