Marin French Cheese Co.
7510 Pt. Reyes - Petaluma Rd, Petaluma, CA
Crema's Take
“This scenic Petaluma destination pairs artisanal French cheeses with a genuinely romantic picnic experience, complete with rolling hillside views, a tranquil pond, and a welcoming staff who'll help you build the perfect board. It's the kind of place where you linger for hours with loved ones (and dogs welcome), turning an afternoon into a full pastoral escape rather than a quick coffee run. The property itself is the real draw—beautiful, calming, and perfect for that slow sit with a baguette, cheese, and good company.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

My sweetie took me here—what a delightful little spot for a picnic. It was even pleasant when it was lightly raining. Lots of sweet duckies. If you don’t have all you need for a picnic—just stop in store. We tried a bunch of different cheeses, I really liked the funky Golden…
