After 20 (?) years, still one the best coffee roasters in the country. They import and roast amazing coffees. Baristas are top notch and super friendly. This location is their quick serve to go cafe, which is where every coffee lover in Healdsburg goes every morning. Sounds like they will be opening another cafe on the plaza soon (they closed their original location after not getting any cooperation from evil landlords during pandemic). Quality always survives!
Five stars for the coffee. Minus 4 stars for refusing money from humans, and only accepting payments from banks. Do what you want with that info.
Fantastic espresso, best in town. A real ristretto. Strong, just the right bit of bItter, but not burnt, fantastic balance.
Great coffee and tea. Friendly and warm staff. Wonderful goodies to snack on.
Great coffee & super yummy chocolate shortbread! And excellent service as well.
The Goat is an institution in Sonoma County. Theyve been roasting in Sonoma longer than anyone, and theyre pretty damn good at it. I drive to Healdsburg to buy a box of coffee every weekend (try their Organic Guatemala Juanita Bravoe -- its incredible). The baristas are real coffee people: friendly, knowledgeable and pull perfect shots every time. I appreciate that the focus is on the coffee here (not avocado toast or sandwiches). I miss the store in Santa Rosa very much (closed due to evil landlord syndrome) -- many of us are desperately waiting for the new SR store to open. In the meantime, I will keep driving North to Hburg to see what new coffee theyve roasted. You Healdsburgers are luckier than you know!
Love this place. I make sure I stop by every time I am in Healdsburg!
My absolute favorite coffee anywhere!
Meh. Coffee is ok. Brewed coffee is pretty one note and acidic. The other beverages are alright. I would recommend the Bangkok; while actually quite sweet, the nutmeg rounds it out really nicely. However, after frequenting FGC for years it is quite apparent that a job requirement for them is to be antisocial and have a RBF. I seriously have not once gotten a smile or a pleasant conversation from anyone (at any location) and if that doesnt interest you, then definitely dont ask any questions. Rather unfortunate as there isnt a plethora of local coffeeshops and I would much rather support a local cafe than a chain.
Does not use Oatly as advertised 😣
Best coffee around
My fav...goat herder!
I love the coffee at this place, good strong blend without being bitter.
Waited in line for 22 minutes to make an order
Take-away only, much shorter lines than the original location down the block, now open every day.
