Farewell Cotati, CA Our Favorite Places To Eat

We have been visiting Cotati, CA off and on, because that is where our son lived while attending SSU.

Below are the favorite places. There are not too many places to really eat in Cotati, but if you ever are up that way, I highly suggest visiting them.

Our all time favorite and that of the town is Marvin's Restaurant. Marvins is located at 7991 Old Highway, in Cotati, CA. They open up at 6 am, but if you plan on going there in the late afternoon or evening, then you are out of luck. Marvin's Restaurant closes at 3 pm. This place is busy especially in the mornings for breakfast. You will leave happy and that is for sure. Our all time favorite is the veggie omelet. The veggie omelet comes with home fries or hash browns and I suggest getting the biscuit instead of the toast. The biscuit is so flaky and oh, so good. You can choose to use their fresh jams to spread on your biscuit. We also enjoy getting the pancakes. These pancakes are large in size and they are so tasty. Be sure to also to get their freshly squeezed orange juice and pick up a day old muffin if there are any of the muffins left.  

Now, if you have an inkling for something frozen yogurt, then we highly recommend Swirl Time. They did a special on tv about frozen yogurt. Swirl Time makes all of their own yogurt, sugar cones, and they use fresh fruit for toppings. Of course, there are the usual sweet candies to top it off. Karen is the owner and my son visited this place often, since it was homemade and right across from SSU. Swirl Time is located at 1718 E Cotati Ave, Rohnert Park, CA 94928

Now, nestled in the old part of this small town called Cotati, is a true gem of a pizza joint. This pizza is a bustling hot spot for the people living and visiting Cotati. Sal's New Yorker Pizzeria is located at 8270 Old Redwood Hwy in Cotati. They make their own dough, pizza sauce, etc. On Tuesdays, children can make their own pizza for $10.

 We had the Margherita pizza

and... spinach salad

Now, we have two Mexican restaurants. Mi Ranchito is also a favorite place for visitors and residents as well. We happen to go the evening of our son's commencement. This place is normally crowded and this in particular was even busier than usual. Families were celebrating commencements and graduations. I forgot to take a picture of the delicious homemade guacamole. Yummy! Mi Ranchito is located at 7600 Commerce Blvd, Cotati, CA 94931

After packing our our son's belongings and loading the moving truck, we were tired and very hungry. Our son has gone to this small Mexican restaurant called Tacqueria Sol Azteca

For those individuals who like to drink or like bars (not for me because I don't drink alcohol), but there is a bar that opened up recently. It is right off of Cotati Ave (in Oliver's Market parking lot). It is called Jaded Toad BBQ and Grill.
