Bia Cafe: Reviews & Ratings
Blackberry orange bread was seriously delicious. Fun quirky ambience and friendly people. We'll keep coming back to try all the flavors!
BEST SMOKED SALMON CHOWDER ever! Then great coffee, delicious breads (apple, chocolate cherry, banana, pumpkin, etc etc!) Sandwiches are amazing on their ciabatta bread. Plus really cool owner and staff! It's really lovely to sit at their tables or outside and enjoy the view of the golf green and redwood trees as well.
Nice spot along River road. Great if you're just stopping in or if you're hanging out in the area
Delicious breads warmed to perfection. Super friendly and very nice staff. The assortment of fresh breads to choose from keeps me coming back time and time again.
Best coffee in the area. Owner is a hoot! Love this place. Serious, there are a few shops you can go to, this one is worth returning to again and again.
Such a warm and inviting place, everything was delicious and the owners were super friendly. Cute little spot, would definitely recommend!
I was so fortunate to stay near Bia and try their incredible chocolate chocolate cake which was so good I had it twice. That's not a typo--it's just super chocolatey! Bia is a proper café with friendly staff and a wide range of coffees, teas and more importantly utterly delicious cakes and baked goods. They do panini and quiches too. Lots of seating inside and out (it's dog-friendly, like most places around the Russian River), plus you even get to chat with the amazing owner who greets everyone with warmth and regales you with fascinating tales. There really is a massive range of all sorts of baked yumminess, including their chocolate chocolate cake (see photo). I should have asked the owner if they knew how to make bara brith, being a fellow Celt. Bet it would be lush. Next time!
I used to write a lot of reviews in the early days of Yelp, before they took the free labor of reviews and used it to squeeze money out of merchants, but not so much these days. But I have to make an exception for Bia Cafe! They are awesome!! Friendly staff, great coffee and service and seriously the best gluten free pastries I've ever had. Gluten free breads, soda breads, muffins, scones. Incredible. Not to be missed
