Pink Owl Coffee
617 E Washington St, Petaluma, CA
Crema's Take
“Pink Owl Coffee has earned its devoted local following with thoughtful touches like their standout chai and inclusive menu options (hello, turkey croissants for those avoiding pork), though some customers find the pricing steep at around $8 per latte. The shop's sweet, friendly staff and cozy vibe make it feel like a genuine neighborhood gathering spot, even if the coffee quality can be inconsistent—some praise it as very good while others have experienced burnt-tasting espresso. If you're in the Petaluma area and value community spirit and specialty drinks over competitive pricing, it's worth a visit, especially for their chai and pastries.”

Pastry was good but the coffee tasted burnt despite also having Ube flavoring.
I really wanted to love this place. The two girls working seemed sweet and friendly. That’s the best I can say of this place. I ordered a latte with light syrup (specifying less than half of the normal amount, since it was my first time), and the whole thing was thick and tasted like burnt peppermint syrup. The pastries looked good so I tried one, but immediately threw it away at home, along with the latte. An unfortunate waste of $15. I love supporting local businesses, but won’t be back here.
Pink Owl Coffee is such a great spot. Their chai is so good, and I really appreciate that they offer turkey croissants instead of just ham and cheese. As someone who can’t eat pork, it’s so nice to have a thoughtful option like that. Always a solid place to stop for coffee and a bite.
Live nearby here and used to love it but the prices are so high! I hadn’t gone out for some time and figured $8 was normal for a latte, until I went to an equally good coffee shop a bit further away and was charged $5 for the exact same thing.
This is my local coffee shop. It’s in a tough location to turn a profit, and their coffee is very good. I like that a portion of the money spent there goes towards cancer__?__, but it would feel a lot better if they at least had a sign along the lines of “$X.00 donated to [cancer research] last year” or something similar…otherwise it seems like a gimmick. As someone who’s been drastically affected by cancer, let us know what this money is being used for…especially considering the exorbitant prices you charge. One other thing worth mentioning…Understanding that food costs are high, and that wasted food is profits lost, your pastries are a complete joke. Shame on me for giving it a 4th try this morning, but it’s consistently a let down. Bad grocery store level pastries for double the price that I could get at Whole Foods next door. I really hope you guys can make it work there, but you need to make some changes to keep the doors open. Good luck
