Crema's Take

Sarmentine's almond croissants and laminated pastries are legitimately excellent—crispy, buttery, and authentic enough to earn praise from expats who actually lived in France. The coffee is solid and best ordered large for a proper morning visit, though service can be inconsistent and the staff isn't always knowledgeable about what they're selling. If you're in Petaluma and want genuinely good French pastries without the pretension, this is worth the walk.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Worth going for coffee (get a large) if you’re in Petaluma for the morning. Very tasty French style pastries & breads. We actually walked there from our hotel downtown (~25 minutes one way) and so had some food as well. We’ll go there again someday
