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.

Excellent place to spend an afternoon in Marin. The property is gorgeous and the cheese selection is excellent. The staff are very friendly and you can put together a nice lunch to enjoy by the water outside. Looking forward to our next visit.

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…
