Come here often just never reviewed over on Google reviews, but Ive been a fan of Crooks ever since it opened! The drinks just keep getting better! Tried the raspberry white mocha yesterday! And it was awesome, not sugary at all and a very balanced raspberry taste will be ordering this drink again! Love the shop and all the artwork hanging up! support local businesses! Check out Crooks coffee they dont disappoint.

Nice coffee shop with friendly staff. They close at 3pm so no evening coffee here. Good place for a morning pick me up. Small selection of pastries available as well.

Great coffee. Service was excellent and they helped us pick what to order. They made great recommendations for us and our kids (Italian soda flavors) with the Lavender coffee and Creme brulee Late.

I asked for a cold brew. Yes it was cold & yes it was brew but it lacked the pick me up I seemed & needed. Service was good which is why it got 2 stars but as for my specific order, not quite my cup of coffee😉

Got the creme brûlée latte which was definitely delicious but slightly on the expensive end. Next time around, I’d probably go with a normal latte since there wasn’t a huge difference in my original drink order besides the burnt top for the creme brûlée. A good pick me up during the afternoon or a nice start for the morning.

My coffee was great, and my breakfast sandwich with a fig cheese spread was delicious! One of the owners was there, and I noticed that she was very attentive and sweet with her customers. The baristas were friendly and made my mocha look beautiful. The raven theme is adorable. Will definitely be coming back!

I loved everything about this coffee shop. The owners and staff are fun to talk to and committed to awesome customer service. Also, the coffee is superb, and COVID notwithstanding, the ambiance is ideal for a casual meet up. Cant recommend enough.

This was our first sit down visit to Crooks. Our idea was to play a game or two of Skip-Bo but we did not know that they have a whole bookshelf of games, even some for the little one so we will absolutely be going back. Plus I had a lavender/rose latte which was absolutely delicious! Update: had a Smores Latte today. A bit more of on the sweets side of flavor but very delicious nonetheless!

Review №21

Friendly staff and a wide variety of drinks and food. My wife got the cold brew which had a good flavor and wasn’t bitter, I got the creme brûlée latte that had a good flavor and wasn’t overpoweringly sweet.

This place is so cool, the staff is so nice too. I only like drip coffee and drink it black. At some places I need to add sugar because the coffee isn’t very good but at Crook’s the coffee is so good, no sugar was needed and to me that’s a sign of good coffee. My new go to coffee place.

Review №38

Local establishment with a warm, welcoming environment along with an unparalleled atmosphere. Exceptionally fast service and affordable prices for high quality coffee, properly made espresso, plus countless homemade delicious treats and food. After being used to drinking the popular, corporate, coffee fast food place known by the green and white siren logo for years, I finally learned what coffee really is and should taste like at Crooks.

I give it a five star rating cause it deserves it. This place is just like the coffee shops I had frequented in my youth. And the kind of place I have come to love. They are not trying to ride coat tails of of fast food coffee, with fancy names and and super sugary drinks. Normal coffee drinks and local art work on the walls. And a good cup of tea. This will be my new go to on my days off. A place to relax and sketch and have a cup of tea. The staff is super nice and down to earth and the prices are just right.

Just had a gluten free bagel with salmon and cream cheese+a slice of tomato. I thought the proportion of salmon to bread was off...could hardly taste it. And no red onions! The bagel was crispy and yummy.

Great atmosphere and the service was terrific. Staff to include one of the co-operators had good info and also had a joyful sense of humor. He also imparted info regarding open mic nights which they will be starting again in the spring. The coffee was strong and plenty of seating with neat artwork.

Crooks is a great local coffee shop that Im really grateful to have downtown. Great decor, coffee drinks, healthy food items and friendly staff. If youre a regular, ask for the punch card to get a free drink after 10. I like that they support the local music scene as well with live performances. A solid alternative to the chains.

Crooks Coffee is by far my favorite coffee shop in Sonoma County. They have amazing handcrafted drinks, great prices, and a wonderful selection to choose from. Plus, the staff are SO NICE. I cant remember another place that Ive been to with staff members who learn my name and just give great customer service. LOVE Crooks Coffee.

Listen up, SR coffee junkies: This is your new Huckleberry. I had the good fortune of having my office move downtown right near this place and I have literally gone there 1 and sometimes 2X per day.. its that good. Coffee is as good if not better than Flying Goat, and the pastries and food are either homemade (including biscuits!) or selected from really high quality local places like Village Bakery or Costeaux. Super friendly family that runs it as well.
