Ive always loved Costeaux. Its one of the last vestiges of old Healdsburg. Its a great place for breakfast! With indoor and outdoor seating....its a wonderful weekend brunch spot, complete with mimosas. I also appreciate that well behaved dogs are welcome on their patio. They are usually treated to a bowl of cold water and a dog cookie. My dog and I have had Many relaxing meals together there.🐾 The food is always good at Costeaux. My favorites have always been either the eggs benedict or the Turkey-cranberry sandwich. Their baked goods are also quite good....nice breads, scrumptious cookies and lovely classic cakes. Try the chocolate krinkle cookies! Until recently, they had wonderful staff that had been there for many, MANY years, but it seems like most have now left.If you want a nice ( good quality ), casual breakfast or lunch.....check them out!! But be aware, they do close early - 2pm ( I think )

EXCELLENT croissant dough at this place. Both pastries we got (sweet and a savory) were fantastic. We arrived shortly after opening and would suggest the same. Espresso based beverages were solid as well.

Bustling cafe and bakery. Cheese Danish a delight! Classic French ham and cheese baguette perfect for pre-wine tasting snack.

On the northern edge of the town center. Lovely, big space, but a little too crowded for my preference and a little too warm. The foods was delicious (croissant sandwich, eggs Benedict and the Turkey sandwich), but the coffee is per cup. They have beautiful looking baked goods in the bakery section.

The Sunday brunch quiche was pretty phenomenal - full of ingredients, certainly one of a kind. The fruit was fresh and delicious, too. I didnt try the baked goods, but they look amazing. It does get busy, but they text you when you are on the waitlist. Worth a visit when in Healdsburg.

Love visiting Costeauxs. EVERYTHING they make is fabulous. I love that you can even buy a slice of cake, instead of a whole cake. Got a slice of the princess cake recently and it was amazing. I tried the savory croissant with ham, cheese and onion, and it was pretty tasty too. You cant go wrong. Wonderful breads, cakes, cookies. Their non-dessert items are great too.

Review β„–13

Waited a long time to order 2 coffees to go and there was only one couple ordering in front of me. I dont mind waiting, but I think someone needs to say Ill be right with you or communicate something that tells me that they see me since there isnt a proper line to stand in. Someone came by with a sample and it was a bunch of chocolate paste in a cup. I wondered how they expected me to eat it. When I asked for a spoon they couldnt find one...Updated to 4 stars because management reached out and is going to look into it.

Egg Benedict special was good. The quiche was good but had burnt cheese on top and you can tell it was made a few days ago. We tried a chocolate croissant and it was okay. We didnt get to try there bread. Maybe next time.

Had a Birthday lunch here with my daughter, son and grandbaby - a pleasant experience overall. The server was friendly and helpful, willing to answer our questions about the menu and even consult with other staff regarding the mimosas which she had not tried herself. Even though they dont have a childrens menu, she told us about items better suited to my 2 year old granddaughter which worked out perfectly. And, after checking with my daughter first, gave the grandbaby a cookie - her discretion was appreciated. Of course the treats after lunch were delicious - my favorite is their Florentines - if you havent tried them, I highly reccomend you do so. Looking forward to the winter months when they will once again have their triple layer chocolate mousse cake available.

My review below is an old one.Came back as it is close to my house and yet still styrofoam cups. They are using ceramic plates therefore using water so the drought excuse is out. On top of that research shows that styrofoam cups are extremely difficult to recycle therefore hurting the environment for the ones who always use this topic as an excuse.Looks like another boycott.Still using the covid excuse to not serve goods in real plates and cups! When most of the plaza restaurants do. Boycott it is. Plus they advertise it as a French bakery and the pastries are far from French quality.Non merci.

Popular long time local bakery (est. 1923) and cafe. Everything is delicious. Bakes their own breads and desserts served at the cafe. Popular dishes serve are the French Onion Soup, Mussels & Pommes Frites, Smoke Duck Breast Sandwich.Friendly staff, #KidFriendly (high chairs) #DogFriendly (outdoor dining area and will provide dog water bowl).

Delightful and delicious! We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the Costeaux French Barkery during our recent trip to Wine Country. I had the French Toast and my husband had eggs and hashbrown potatoes. Really, you cant got wrong wth anything on their menu. The restaurant is quite large and inviting on the inside, with a lovely bakery counter where you can purchase breads and treats to take with you. We sat out on their patio, and it was the perfect weather for a delicious breakfast! Prices are just right, meal sizes are just right, and everything was great. Definitely worth a visit if youre a local or an out-of-towner. Bon Apetit!

My review is mixed. The croissant was the greatest Ive ever had, so buttery and flaky. But, in covid-19 times, we have to consider safety in restaurant reviews: the restaurant happily allowed in and served maskless patrons.

I used to love this place,it was my favorite place to go to. I recently went during COVID and the experience was different. The food was still good but not excellent. I feel like prices went up a lot,and I understand the situation we are going through but it should of stay with the same quality and quantity. went with my 4 yr old who all of a sudden had to use the restroom....they are closed to customers πŸ˜• I had to go to CVS. Not a good thing when taking your kids. Im not sure if I will be going back anytime soon.

Cute and cozy, french bistro feel. Good natural lighting. Bakery available for purchasing bread, cookies, biscottis and much more. Dinning area had a wait, but menu variety made it worth it. We ordered the Peach Mimosa and Hibiscus Bellini. Both were well balanced and refreshing. For our entrees the French dip and Smoked duck sandwich, both served with pomme frites (French fries πŸ˜‹) French dip was juicy and delicious, with the softest ciabatta bread. The duck was flavorful and the multigrain added texture. Both were very good and wed order again. Definitely coming back if ever 8n the area.

Review β„–62

Super tasty breakfast sandwiches, friendly staff and a wide variety of pastries. While the baked goods were certainly delicious, theyre priced well above what they should be - theyre not THAT good. The prices are certainly higher to fit the MUCH higher tax bracket of the local population and average visitor, but some similar spots we visited in the equally as exclusive Carmel by the Sea had slightly better baked goods and breakfast sandwiches for about half the price. However, while it is more expensive, I was still looking forward to stopping here every day we were in the area, and if Im ever back in the area Ill be stopping in again for sure. Worth the stop!

It gets pretty busy on Sundays so it was a bit of a wait, but it was absolutely worth it! Loved the Eggs Benedict. The Host Madison is an absolute Angel. She has great communication skills and kept a smile on her face despite how busy it got in the restaurant. Very kind and a very hard worker.

We checked on line for best breakfast in Healdsburg, then went to have a nice breakfast.Service is so sloooooow . Took forever to place order and forever to get food. Food was good/ not great. Took far far to long to get service, even when it was time to leave we had to ask to get the check. If you have all day to sit around try this place.This was not a busy day, many empty tables.

Overpriced eggs benedict for brunch served with a single-use plastic fork and knife. The β€˜pomme frites’ were very basic french fries. Food was alright, but portion was too small for a $20 breakfast. I expected more.

The manager this morning Was rude and arrogant. She yelled at me when I asked if she had a breakfast sandwich. She said No! Then I needed to use the bathroom and told me it is not a public restroom. What? It’s at the airport!!!! She said they are not part of the airport. Ok fine. She finally gave me the code to get in but honestly this you g woman needs training on how to deal with customers in a kind and friendly manner. She is absolutely awful. I will not go there again!!!

Always stop in when were in the area. Excellent pastries (try the Bearclaw or Chocolate Croissant), espresso and breakfast. Today we enjoyed home made Corned Beef Hash made with corned beef, potatoes, onion and green/red/yellow peppers. Fantastic! Came with assorted toasted breads, butter and strawberry jam. Service is always the best - very friendly, warm and welcoming, and the building/space is a beautiful, old, unique place. Costeaux is one of our favorite places for a quick bite or longer stay.

This place is delicious! Whether you are going in for a cup of coffee and a freshly baked pastry or you want to sit down and have breakfast or lunch, it is perfect. They dont have alot of options for eat in breakfast but honestly that makes it way better. Sometimes when you give people to many options they dont know what to pick. The mocha was a little much for me, so next time Ill just try the coffee. Their pastries are amazing and made fresh, they also have lunch items and cakesπŸ˜‹
