Baked on the River
16390 4th St, Guerneville, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled along the Russian River in Guerneville, this cozy spot seamlessly blends cafe culture with full restaurant service, offering everything from meticulously crafted coffee and matcha to creative brunch dishes like scones with gravy and tri-tip sandwiches that keep locals coming back. The genuine warmth of the staff and the riverside setting create the kind of unhurried, dog-friendly atmosphere where you'll want to linger with board games and friends, whether you're stopping by for a late breakfast or lingering into the evening.”

Pros We played board games while waiting. The server was kind and attentive. Food arrived fairly quickly. Everything was cooked well. We got a free mini desert. (again, shout out to our server) Lots of dietary restriction options available. Cons The meat (lamb/burger) was entirely unseasoned, whether that is a pro or a con for you, is up to you. The price felt high for what we got. Acoustics made for a very loud dining experience. (not necessarily a con, but we learned a lot about the parties we were sat between)
Yeah, pretty fun spot to stop for lunch. The flavors and some of the dishes were pretty unique but in a delightful way. We had the scones with gravy, tri-tip sandwich, a salad and a white chocolate scone with cranberries. It was all delicious and we had a wonderful service!
Quaint hotel restaurant. Food was very mediocre for the price. We got the ribs and tri tip. Both were fine, but it tasted like decent home cooked food rather than something I'd go out of my way for. We both left unsatisfied and still a bit hungry, which shouldn't be the case for entrees over $30 each. Service was attentive. We had a dog so we sat at the bar, and our food was brought to us with plates and silverware as if we were on the restaurant. No other visits by the server so it was more like a to go order. Would eat at again if nothing else open or nearby but not my first choice in town.
Very cute and cozy spot. The food was amazing and I ate it all before I thought about taking a picture. The tea was perfect and comes in a cup or pot. The pot was adorable. My husband said the coffee was a little burnt but overall ok. Their version is sausage and biscuits are delicious. It was decorated for the holidays and had a fire place going. Definitely worth a stop for breakfast/brunch if in the area.
Absolute best restaurant that has it all: cafe, brunch & lunch place & diner til 9 pm. Family & pet friendly too. Lots of healthy and alternative food options and interesting and diverse menu. The location can’t be beat and you might find yourself sitting near an inviting pool scene. Kudos to Helena for finding this fabulous new spot for her always consistent and wonderful restaurant.
