Flakey Cream Do-Nuts & Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Healdsburg

I’m happy to see so many people had a great time here. It makes me think my weekend experience was an anomaly, though I confess I won’t be back to find out.

First off, a standard, from-the-hot-plate-coffee-pit cup of coffee is $5, and was never refilled. I think something was going on because all 3 waitresses stopped by to check in, but also didn’t seem to be talking to each other about what we needed. Different items were forgotten at different points, which wasn’t a problem until the bill came and we were charged for them all. That took time to figure too. Honestly, though, I’m sure the system will work itself out, odds are some folks were new.

That said, I have no idea how a doughnut, two black coffees, and two diner standards ran us $50. Our bad, obviously, for not looking too closely at the menu pricing, but the “classic” greasy spoon atmosphere lulls one into thinking you don’t have to. $50 for a basic diner meal? Not in this economy.

Perhaps a great sentimental spot for locals. If you’re stopping in for a quick bite before hitting the road, there have got to be...

This is really like how early-morning Cafes used to be throughout Sonoma County in the 60s, 70s and 80s when we used to have a timber industry, Manufactory, Maritime, stable fishing industry... Warehousing for International trade, Infrastructure for Shipbuilding, Robust Military investment and payrolls to surrounding housing, Damn near Free College Education, particularly at the J.C./ Trade School level, Robust Public/Private partnerships with Trade Unions for Apprenticeship and. Vocational Training, Commitional educational programs by Various industries (Ford,Gm. Hewlitt-packerd, IBM). Now Sonoma/Napa, NorCal? All they chase is the Tourist dollars. Suckerfruit. Cheap money. Sugar-Crack high profit. No legacy to Northern California's long history or contributions...

There was one person eaten her breakfast when we got there. Ordered our food - took over 20 minutes for our food to arrive! They got my Eggs Benedict order wrong, supposed to be meatless on top of the lengthy delay. Husbands waffle was cold, butter didn’t even melt on it. Neither one of us ate our food - took a bite or two Went up to the register to leave and had the to nerve to actually want us to pay $35 for a meal first was not what we ordered and secondly we didn’t even eat! I did not want to make a scene in front of folks picking up donuts, so I said why are you charging me for food we didn’t eat? She split the bill and I just paid it and left. I am mad at myself for even paying anything! Never will go back

Two...
