Best Breakfast in Lockdown
It is often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day! It certainly is the most delicious – think Eggs Benedict, piles of sourdough toast and lashings of butter, stacks of pancakes dripping with maple syrup or the spicy deliciousness of Huevos Rancheros. Lucky for us, many of our favorite breakfast spots are open for pickup and sometimes even delivering direct to you during shelter in place. Just recently Redwood cafe reopened and many other restaurants have stayed open throughout SIP – think Peppers, Tubby’s, Twins and Marvins. We’ve rounded up our picks of the breakfast spots in the Rohnert Park/Cotati area – we just know you’ll love them all. And, if breakfast isn’t your thing or it’s lunch and you’re hungry – the good news is that all these restaurants also have extensive lunch and even sometimes dinner offerings too.
Marvin’s Restaurant in Cotati
Marvin’s Restaurant in Cotati is a great family oriented breakfast restaurant which has been around for ages and which is insanely popular. Personally, I don’t think I have ever disliked an item on their menu that I have tried! They offer more than generous proportions and they use the freshest ingredients in their dishes. Their Eggs Benedict is a must try item on their menu! Located on the corner of Old Redwood Highway and William Street in Cotati there is plenty of off street parking.

Redwood Cafe
Located in the middle of Cotati on Old Redwood highway – Redwood Cafe has been a popular local hangout for more years than I can count. So, if you have never heard of or been to Redwood Cafe, now is the time to check them out! Best known for their live music events the restaurant has just recently reopened during SIP for take out orders (opened May 12) – and the food is better than ever! In addition to stalwarts like Eggs Benedict and pancakes, Redwood Cafe also has a wide variety of vegetarian options, gluten free meals, and a great ALL DAY brunch menu. So today (or any day) is the perfect day to order from Redwood Cafe. Their active Facebook page is a great place to go for the most up to date information and they also have video broadcasts from their page so check that out too.
Just a heads up, not all their menu items will be available and the prices might be different to those on their menu – they haven’t been able to update them – so call and ask if you’re unsure.

Pepper’s Cafe
One thing I think to myself often is “We’re in lockdown…but I don’t have anything for breakfast and I’m hungry!” When these thoughts hit you, then Pepper’s Cafe in Rohnert Park is the perfect place to order in breakfast or phone them to order and hop in the car and do a curbside pickup. Try out their Country Breakfast if you want some extraordinary biscuits and gravy – they also do wonderful egg dishes, pancakes, breakfast burritos, and great hashbrowns too! Pepper’s is located in University Square so there’s plenty of off street parking available. They are operating slightly shorter hours during the SIP order.

Tubby’s Restaurant
Have you ever wanted dessert for breakfast? Yep! Me too! When that hunger for something sweet hits early in the morning then I recommend the Strawberry and Nutella crepe from Tubby’s! Tubby’s is an outstanding restaurant in Rohnert Park – they have an extensive menu and everything is made from the freshest ingredients. Their menu includes everything from gluten free crepes to their breakfast BLT croissant with eggs and bacon. Basically you will experience a one of a kind breakfast (or lunch), that you’ll be glad you sought out when you order from Tubby’s.

Twins Restaurant Cotati
Looking for a delicious home cooked meal that you don’t have to cook? Or are you just too tired to cook? Well, let me introduce you to the Twins Restaurant in Cotati – and yes, it is run by twins! Twins is a very popular breakfast and lunch spot in the Olivers Market place so parking is pretty good. Twins menu is full of wonderful eggy choices as well as plenty of options for Vegans and Vegetarians. Their Tofu Scramble with Cashew cream is a must and they make great biscuits and home made jam too.
During SIP, Twins are offering a range of awesome options including daily Breakfast and Lunch specials and family meals Thursday, Friday & Saturday. BUT, I’ll let you into a secret – if you want family meals on the other days, call them and ask – they are only too happy to help out.
I suggest you keep an eye on their Facebook page for daily specials and happy hour options (happy hour is 3-5 Thur, Fri & Sat) or call them and ask!
