The lineup includes tiramisu French toast, a brown butter hollandaise Benedict and quite possibly the world&#8217;s most inspired fried chicken sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>A tasty low and no-alcohol and cocktail menu and wine list create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/best-brunch-sonoma-county\/\">Sunday brunch<\/a> feel even on weekday mornings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_118653\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-118653\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-118653 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_001-1024x720.jpg\" alt=\"Acorn Cafe in Healdsburg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_001-1024x720.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_001-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_001-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_001-1536x1081.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_001-2048x1441.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_001-1200x844.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-118653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u2018Shop Local\u2019 Benedict with Journeyman bacon, brown butter Hollandaise and Acorn breakfast potatoes from the Acorn Cafe Thursday, October 3, 2024, in Healdsburg. (John Burgess \/ The Press Democrat)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;Here you can detox, re-tox and repeat,&#8221; said chef\/owner Beryl Adler. The longtime fine-dining chef has worked in far-off locales like Bali, Australia and the Caribbean, but saw an opening for a sit-down caf\u00e9 in Healdsburg dedicated to morning and early afternoon eats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my experiences throughout Asia and Australia, I saw that breakfast can be fun, colorful and nourishing, and that&#8217;s what I wanted to bring here,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Acorn Cafe is a Healdsburg gem for lunch and brunch<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/exclusive-peek-at-healdsburgs-most-anticipated-brunch-spot\/\">former Oakville Grocery has been reborn<\/a> as a joyful, light-filled downtown gathering spot decorated in sunkissed oranges and blues with modern wood accents. There&#8217;s plentiful seating inside and on the patio, which is warmed by a built-in fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>And though Adler&#8217;s globe-trotting days are fond memories, he loves the small-town charm of Healdsburg, where he can spend time with his wife and young daughter. As a dad, he was emphatic that the caf\u00e9 welcome families, offering a special children&#8217;s menu, book-borrowing and a toy corner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s something touching about this tight-knit community of 12,000 people. It&#8217;s got that small-town charm and ultra-luxury feel, the best of both worlds,&#8221; Adler said. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we wanted to call it home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_116203\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-116203\" style=\"width: 933px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-116203\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2-933x1400.jpg\" alt=\"Acorn Cafe chicken sandwich\" width=\"933\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2-933x1400.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/acorncafe_healdsburg_Chicken-Sandwich-2.jpg 1640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-116203\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fried chicken sandwich with housemade teriyaki sauce and pickled vegetables from Acorn Cafe in Healdsburg.

(John Burgess \/ The Press Democrat)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Best Bets<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Fried Chicken Sando, $21:<\/strong> After suffering from a litany of distressingly over- or undercooked fried chicken sandwiches, I&#8217;m cautious about ordering them. Adler\u2019s, however, had my attention with a Goguette Bread togarashi-topped bun (made specially for Acorn), housemade teriyaki sauce, pickled carrots and daikon and a slather of spicy mayo. Each bite is creamy, crunchy, sweet, pickle-y and delicious, with a restrained crunch that tickles rather than tearing up the inside of your mouth. Required eating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lemon Ricotta Hotcake, $15:<\/strong> If you&#8217;ve seen the ridiculously fluffy Japanese pancakes starring on every food blogger&#8217;s social media pages, you&#8217;ll get this pillow-top hotcake. Impressively large without the overpowering bitterness of too much baking powder. Adler says the ricotta cheese helps puff up the batter. Served with lemon lavender ice cream from nearby Noble Folk bakery.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tiramisu French toast, $16:<\/strong> Almost too cute to eat, this dessert-for-breakfast concoction starts with Goguette brioche, adding a layer of pressed cacao nibs and topped by kisses of whipped mascarpone and coffee ice cream.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_118651\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-118651\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-118651 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_009-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Acorn Cafe in Healdsburg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_009-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_009-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_009-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_009-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jb1003_acorn_009-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-118651\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiramisu French Toast with whipped mascarpone, Raspberry, coffee ice cream and cocoa nibs on<br \/>Goguette brioche from the Acorn Cafe Thursday, October 3, 2024 in Healdsburg.

Fat slices of Journeyman bacon and perfectly poached eggs make this a new brunch favorite. Served with roasted and togarishi-spiced purple and sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Eggs &amp; Ham, $18:<\/strong> This Turkish-inspired egg dish may have a silly name, but it\u2019s dead-serious delightful. Two poached eggs sit atop a pool of herby yogurt and zesty Egyptian dukkah spice, begging for enthusiastic dipping of grilled sourdough toast. It would be equally delicious without the generous slice of salty ham, but Sam-I-Am might be disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buckeye Cocktail, $15:<\/strong> Skip the orange juice for this punchy cocktail made with tangy Seville orange aperitif, turmeric, ginger tonic and lemon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blood Orange Spritz, $10:<\/strong> Aperol spritz and mimosas are so last week. Brunch has a new bestie in this sweet and tart porch-pounder that\u2019s refreshing, fizzy and a perfect foil to rich dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Acorn Caf\u00e9 also offers grab-and-go salads and sandwiches, juices and smoothies.
