Restaurant Reviews

Love love love.

This is my favorite brunch spot at the moment. They seriously have everything. My meal of choice to date is the mezza platter (which is best shared with another person). You can fill up and not feel grossed out.

The restaurant is open and light. The view of the park across the way is a nice perk. Great stop if you're walking in Howarth Park or have plans to go to The Rialto.

I love East West Cafe. It was my first regular restaurant when I moved to the area 4 years ago and it still is. The food is delicious and the presentation is beatuiful. Generous portions too! The staff is always cheerful and friendly. I often see brothers, Newar and Mahn, the owners, in the kitchen preparing a new vegan, dairy free soup (the soups always are). It is obvious that they treat their staff well and they care greatly about their business.
Whenever I have friends or family in town, I always take them to East West because I know its menu suits many tastes and we always leave full and happy.

Been coming here since I was a little hippie in high school. This place is crazy awesome; fresh, delicious and conscious eating can be found here.

This last visit I had the falafel wrap. I'm not kidding-it was heavenly! The falafel was crunchy on the outside and warm but moist and delicious inside. With the crisp and fresh veggies it is the perfect combination!! Seriously amazing.

Best HUMMUS I have ever had.. I am still craving it!  So creamy and delicious!  The vegi kabos with rice were delicious.  If I lived in the area I would be a regular at this restaurant.  The price point was also quite reasonable!

So every time i pass through Rohnert Park, i'd eat at Pita Cafe.  Which is now closed sadly.  I never knew they were the same owners?  Something along that line.  Anyway, so i was recommended to try East West.  I didn't hesitate now that i know about this spot!  I tried the grilled chicken pineapple croissant sandwich with a salad along with tahini dressing.

The sandwich was this perfect flavor of... (once you bite into it) you taste the richness of the croissant, then the melted cheese, then the juicy sweet grilled pinapple.. & finally, the grilled chicken.  I made a sloppy mess but what do you expect with such a juicy sandwich..

ugh ive been craving ever since, but id also like to try some other dishes.

I have actually been to this East West Cafe so many times that the Waitress knew me.  

I love the food there, I usually stick to the Turkey burger since it's hands down the best one I've had, it's is a great alternative restaurant.  All the food is local and for the great quality you really can't beat the price.  

When I lived in Sonoma County I would go there about twice a month, while catching an independent film next door, great out-door setting right next to the park.  If you live in Sonoma County or are visting Santa Rosa Ca, this is definitely a must eat.

Great food lots of Vegan options and it all taste great!

Tasty Tasty Tasty!  I love this place and miss it much!  From their earth bouquet stir fry to their blue corn tortilla tacos to their falafel platter you just can't go wrong here.

East West is a pseudo-healthy-hippie-middle-eastern-fusion restaurant... did I get them all in?   Though it's hard to define in words, you'll know it's good when you taste it.  Breakfast here is good and plentiful too.  Fresh orange juice and something called china mist tea (where do I buy that stuff?!)  Fantastic-looking desserts and smashing baklava too.

Whether you live in the north bay or are just driving through don't miss East West - it's the Best.

We have been here many times and the food is always good, the service is always good and the seating is nice and comfortable.  Clean, parking is available, it is easy to get to and the food and beverage selection is just wonderful.  

Lots and lots of options, very extensive menu.  Brunch happens to be our favorite and they serve it for very extended hours, which is nice.

The servers are so attentive and your glass will never be half empty here.

The soups are great and the wraps are great.

Lots of veg options (vegan and vegetarian).  Salmon options and meat too.

Desserts are pretty darn good too, if you have any room left, as the portion size is generous.

Probably the best eatery I have found in Santa Rosa (so far)!  The falafel wrap is among the best I have ever had - fresh, moist falafel balls, great hummus, just about perfect.  Add some hot sauce, and you're rockin'!  The sweet potato fries are excellent too.  They have quite a few other vegan/vegetarian options, a nice patio out in front to soak in that Santa Rosa sun and great beer on the menu too.  Highly recommended.

When I come home and visit Santa Rosa, my family and I eat here multiple times. Which is a good thing because East West is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The new location is awesome and huge, the servers are so sweet and wonderful, and the menu is huge and delicious!

Now if they would just ship some beet delite to Portland...

Not many places like this in the area. The best way I can describe East West is CLEAN. The food isn't heavy or greasy but light and fresh. Awesome vegetarian options. I love the Taco Plate. Fries are  yummy and the hummus is something to dream about. Pretty large dining area. Never had to wait longer than 4 minutes for a table even at dinner time. Burgers are a hit with

The food at East West is so fresh and flavorful. You will feel so good eating here. The Denver omelette is loaded with turkey bacon and is the best tasting breakfast I love to order. Have a latte' with breakfast. Lunch time is turkey burger time with sweet potatoe french fries. So deliciously fresh and yummy!

Outstanding vegetarian fare. Everything I have had here is tasty. Among my favorites are the falafel, the beet delight, and hummous. Their salads are spectacular as well. If you are ever in the area - this place delivers!

I think there's an arc across the Valley of the Moon from Santa Rosa to Napa. The entire length of this arc is populated with good places to eat. East-West is probably not on the radar of most tourists but locals know about it.

This place makes vegetarian seem less of a fringe choice. They've got tons of choices that are great and have no animal parts. I had some outstanding Red Lentil Soup on my last visit. It was a soup I wouldn't have been likely to try somewhere else. Great sandwiches here! Good breakfast food! Very consistent high quality in service and food.

I thanked the kitchen staff on a recent visit. The servers have been consistently great. They tolerate changes or unusual orders. Excellent intellects and attitudes.

The only sub-ideal thing: the acoustics. They've tried to put some stuff on the ceiling to cut down on its reflective properties but it doesn't work. The floors are concrete. The ceilings are high. There are a lot of large windows - glass not being famous for absorbing sound. Even so, it's a great place and worth a visit. I'll be back!
