Scrambled eggs and toast won’t get me out of bed, but flash a sticky bun and some hollandaise my way, and I’m racing to the table.<\/p>\n

In Sonoma County, the breakfast scene runs the gamut, from simple plates of pancakes<\/a> to fancy caviar-blinged Benedicts to crackly croissants<\/a>. And while better-known haunts get plenty of love, you might be surprised by some unexpected breakfast favorites from Petaluma to Cloverdale and everywhere in between.<\/p>\n

Santa Rosa<\/h4>\n

Grossman\u2019s Noshery & Bar:<\/strong> Of course, you\u2019ll find great bagels and schmears at this Jewish-style deli, but insiders know to order the lox and latke Benedict with schmaltz hollandaise \u2013 because who needs English muffins when you have latkes? Add caviar<\/a> if you\u2019re feeling fancy. 308 Wilson St., 707-595-7707, grossmanssr.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Marla

Marla Bakery:<\/strong> Only you can make the decision between the maple sugar and sea salt-dusted crebble (a croissant muffin) or the finger-licking sticky bun. Go for broke and get both \u2014 and since you\u2019re there, add a fudgy dark chocolate brownie for later. 208 Davis St., 707-852-4091, marlabakery.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Dierk\u2019s Parkside Cafe:<\/strong> This humble caf\u00e9 has reached icon status in Santa Rosa for its chef-driven menu and twist on breakfast standards. The Country Benedict on a crispy baguette with roasted tomatoes will always be my favorite, but the hash and cinnamon-dusted pull-a-parts are a close second. 404 Santa Rosa Ave., 707-573-5955, dierksparkside.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

J&M\u2019s Midtown Cafe:<\/strong> Former Ramen Gaijin chef Joel Shaw\u2019s weekly specials (like Hot Cross Bun sliders that sell out in minutes) are always a treat, but for traditionalists, the French toast is a winner \u2014 fresh ciabatta baguette dipped in egg, milk and cinnamon batter, leaving the inside soft and custard-like and the exterior crisp. 1422 Fourth St., 707-545-2233, jm-midtowncafe.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Tia Maria:<\/strong> At this neighborhood bakery and cafe, a sweet concha roll stuffed with scrambled egg, melty cheese and thick strips of bacon is pressed in a sandwich grill for a sweet, salty, creamy handheld breakfast sando like no other. Grab a Mexican hot chocolate for the road. 44 Sebastopol Ave., 707-540-9864, tiamaria.world<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Brother’s Caf\u00e9: <\/strong>Most folks whiz by this setback cafe, located between a motel and a Mountain Mike\u2019s on a nothing-burger stretch of Cleveland Avenue. Seek it out for the sticky-crunchy Dutch baby German pancake with caramelized apples. Also excellent are the biscuits with mushroom gravy. 3135 Cleveland Ave., 707-541-6345, brotherscafesr.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Hank\u2019s Creekside Cafe:\u00a0<\/strong>Expect to sit around reading the paper on Saturday and Sunday mornings waiting for a table at this quirky Santa Rosa breakfast institution. Fluffy pancakes as big as your head, sausage, eggs and huevos rancheros, all served with a side of local cred and a homemade touch. Biscuits are made from scratch, eggs are fresh and the cottage fries are “Oh, my God” good. 2800 Fourth St., 707-575-8839, hanks-creekside.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss their chilaquiles, Southern-inspired biscuits and gravy, sticky bun French toast and cheese blintzes with lemon curd. Lines can get long on weekends, so put on your patient hat \u2014 it\u2019s sooooo worth the wait. 2901 Fourth St., 707-546-6317, jeffreyshillsidecafe.com\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Criminal Baking Co:\u00a0<\/strong>You can smell the buttery goodness even before you head inside. Sinful Sandos are a must, as is the Fun Guy, with mushrooms, bacon, spinach, goat cheese, basil and arugula pesto, lemon curd and a baked egg. Plus, burritos, granola, quiche and daily pastries. Owner Dawn Zaft and her team also make plenty of gluten-free bagels and vegan pastries. 808 Donahue St., 707-888-3546, criminalbakingcompany.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Americana:<\/strong> Farm-to-table breakfasts<\/a> from the owners of Estero Cafe in Valley Ford \u2014 all day!

Rohnert Park<\/h4>\n

Chila-Killer Caf\u00e9:<\/strong> The name riffs on the restaurant’s signature dish, chilaquiles<\/a>, a hearty breakfast (or hangover helper) of fried corn tortillas soaked in red or green salsa and topped with eggs, cheese, crema and pork carnitas. Killer portions will either break you or fuel you. 5979 Commerce Blvd., 707-595-1779, instagram.com\/chila.killer.cafe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Petaluma<\/h4>\n

Sarmentine:<\/strong> Brunch with a French accent<\/a> includes salmon-laden croissants with hollandaise, a side of gratin potatoes that put home fries to shame and bread pudding in a pool of cr\u00e8me anglaise. You\u2019ll also want to leave with a fresh baguette and croissants for dinner. 840 Petaluma Blvd. N., 707-623-9595, sarmentine.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Sax’s Joint:<\/strong> Giant cinnamon rolls and pancakes the size of a small hubcap are the signatures of this 1950s-style caf\u00e9. Run by sassy sisters, it’s raucous fun but can be hectic on weekends. 317 Petaluma Ave., 707-559-3021, saxsjoint.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Stellina Pronto:<\/strong> Trying to order a pastry or two at this Italian bakery is futile. You will leave with thousands of calories more than you planned, and that\u2019s absolutely OK. They are that good. Kouign-amann (caramelized, laminated pastries filled with fruit curd) and weekend cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting are top picks, but grab at least one cream puff, a Nutella cornetto and a slice of frittata. 23 Kentucky St., 707-789-9556, stellinapronto.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Sonoma<\/h4>\n

Baker and Cook:<\/strong> Fresh buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy are legendary at this Boyes Hot Springs caf\u00e9. Originating in 19th-century lumberjack camps, this gut-stuffing breakfast warms the heart and fills the belly for a long day of timbering \u2014 or couch rotting. A side salad makes the whole thing almost healthy. 18812 Highway 12, 707-938-7329, bakerandcooksonoma.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Sebastopol<\/h4>\n

Wild Poppy:<\/strong> The rambling outdoor patio of this family-owned Sebastopol restaurant<\/a> is the place to be on sunny summer days. The Cosmic Queso with vegan cheese is a favorite, and vegetarians will find plenty of options here. A mix of housemade pastries, including scones, focaccia and Anya’s chocolate chip cookies are ideal companions for a day at the beach or an afternoon snack. 9890 Bodega Highway, 707-503-6332, thewildpoppycafe.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Monte Rio<\/h4>\n

Lightwave Coffee & Kitchen:<\/strong> Follow the signs to the Monte Rio skate park, where you’ll find a curious walk-up caf\u00e9.

Valley Ford<\/h4>\n

Estero Caf\u00e9:<\/strong> The \u201cclassic American farm-to-table\u201d menu has made it a popular stop for diners headed to the coast. Serving locally sourced breakfast and lunch daily, dishes like chicken-fried Stemple Creek Ranch steak with country gravy and greens, Dungeness crab roll and King trumpet mushroom melt with Estero Gold cheese are local favorites. 14450 Highway 1, 707-876-3333, esterocafe.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Healdsburg<\/h4>\n

Acorn Cafe:<\/strong> This cute-as-a-bug morning stop<\/a> is staking a syrup-soaked claim on Healdsburg\u2019s breakfast void with its over-the-top menu. Best bets are tiramisu French toast, a brown butter hollandaise Benedict and quite possibly the world\u2019s most inspired fried chicken sandwich. A tasty low and no-alcohol and cocktail menu and wine list create a Sunday brunch feel even on weekday mornings. 124 Matheson St., 707-955-7001, acornhealdsburg.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Quail and Condor:<\/strong> Noted by The New York Times<\/a> and the James Beard Foundation<\/a>, this outstanding bakery is a must-try. Crisp, flaky croissants that are second-to-none with seasonal flavors include chocolate pumpkin, along with ongoing classics like almond, chocolate and plain. 149 Healdsburg Ave., 707-473-8254, quailandcondor.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Parish Caf\u00e9:<\/strong> Best known for its Louisiana-style shrimp and grits, beignets and po’boys, Parish has a Southern-style breakfast with its standards (yes, you can eat shrimp and grits for breakfast) as well as bananas Foster French toast and a Benedict with fried Gulf shrimp and Tasso ham. Chicory coffee is a staple. 60A Mill St., 707-431-8474, theparishcafe.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Cloverdale<\/h4>\n

Rockin’ A Adventure Caf\u00e9:<\/strong> You won’t find much food, but the thrill of choosing your drink adventure at this oddball coffee drive-thru is a lot more fun. Start with a base of coffee, matcha, chai tea or Red Bull, then add one of 40 different syrups. Clearly, they’re not breaking any new beverage ground, but the wacky shack and endless choices make it a great stop on your commute. 313 S. Cloverdale Blvd., Facebook.com\/RockinAadventureCafe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
