Nana's Cafe
85 Santa Rosa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked next to the Santa Rosa movie theater, Nana's Cafe is a beloved neighborhood spot where the Vietnamese spicy pork sandwich steals the show—reviewers rave it's addictively delicious and surprisingly affordable. It's ideal for lingering over a slow coffee or grabbing a quick drink and hot sandwich as early as 7am, making it a reliable refuge whether you're waiting for a bus or meeting a friend, though the casual, lived-in space definitely leans more authentic than polished.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.
