“ Coffee was great, views are incredible, service was friendly, mushroom scone was awesome. Merch was cool too. No complaints. ”
“ I saw this on my way home from Timber Cove and decided to stop by. The cafe was so busy with a line snaking around the place. It gave me enough time to figure out what I wanted. I ended up getting a late with jasmine syrup and a chocolate chip cookie. I wasn't hungry just wanted to see why the place was so busy. I went outside and went around and found a live performance and a crowd of people chilling and watching while sipping coffee and having lunch. The background was picturesque with the ocean views. I finally got my drink and I sat down to watch for a bit and left when my coffee was gone. This was a very cool find, a nice little stop from the long drive. Highly recommend you check this place out! ”
“ It looks like a funny hippie hang out from the outside. It doesn't really look a lot better on the inside, but the latte I had had to be one of the best I have had in a long time. My husband had a blueberry scone and he loved it and the next day we went back and had a savory scone and it was delicious too, wish we had one of these right here in Vacaville as I would be there every day ”
“ My most favorite coffee shop of all time. It is the coziest, most quaint, charming place. You truly can't find another place on the coast with coffee as delicious and food as fresh. They often have live music on the weekends which is when it gets a little busy, but I swear the service the baristas provide is always with a smile. They seem like the sweetest bunch who really enjoy working here and I can see why. Such a lovely place that provides so much peace and quiet for me. ”
“ Jenner's cafe overlooking the beautiful Russian River near the junction of the river and the Pacific Ocean! We stopped in mid-afternoon on a Sunday, after hiking at Jenner Headlands Preserve, and parking can be tough to find on the weekends. We lucked out and got a spot right out front but saw many people parking along the road. They were busy! Do not be deterred by a line - it moves quickly. They offer fair trade coffee and espresso, which is roasted locally in Freestone, a casual coastal menu (think sandwiches and salads), and scratch-made pastries....as well as some beers, wines, canned teas/drinks, salty snacks, and fun merch. We got two sandwiches, which both came on house-made focaccia): Eggs + Toast $16 Toasted focaccia bread with two poached eggs, aioli, arugula and everything seeds *I recommend adding avocado to zhuzh this up Rainbow Sandwich $14 Toasted focaccia, cabbage, avocado, greens, beet spread, shredded carrots, beets and aioli served with a side of pickles *Loved the cornucopia of fresh, colorful, veggies, but didn't eat all of the focaccia. Two focaccia sandwiches felt like a lot of bread to us. Next time we'll try the Cafe Salad, which seems like the salad version of the Rainbow Sandwich, and we'll try their coffee. The seating is outside, overlooking the river, and friendly dogs on leash are welcomed. Our pups had a bit too much energy for a crowded patio so we sat elsewhere. Live Music is offered every weekend and from what we could hear, it was a great vibe. Very much a community atmosphere. Cool spot. ”
“ Another glorious day at Cafe Aquatica! We had the salmon roll & crab roll sandwiches- scrumptious. My matcha latte was perfect. Disappointed they were out of their incredible salted chocolate chip miso cookies but the macaroon was delicious. The service is quick. And the views cannot be beat. ”
“ Ordered the rainbow veggie sandwich but swapped for the vegan pesto aioli to make it vegan. It was delicious, a decent portion size and paired with a really great view of the water! They also had live music which was a really nice touch. ”
