Cielito Coffee & Ice Cream — Restaurant in Sonoma

Since my moka pot is still a day away from delivery, I decided to try this shop for an early morning latte -- and I was SO pleasantly surprised! Usually, even the most top-rated cafes tend to serve burnt-espresso lattes with barely any milk, which always tends to be so disappointing and harsh on the senses.

The latte I had from Cielito was EXACTLY the kind of warm, gentle, and potent cup of hot latte that I've been looking for in all these cafes. I THOROUGHLY enjoyed it and definitely plan to come back again. The place was very clean, the woman on staff was really kind, and the Mexican chocolate ice cream I bought was excellent. I really hope others enjoy this gem of a spot as much as I have! Life's little pleasures can be such...

Not really understanding the high ratings here. Didn’t try the coffee, but tried a few of the ice creams in the case… They taste sort of freezer burned and like they’ve been in there for a while. I had a popsicle that was vanilla ice cream with dark chocolate and nuts on the outside. Chocolate and nuts was pretty good, I appreciate it wasn’t too sweet, but the ice cream inside … again it’s like it’s got too much ice and not enough cream or something. I know they made it yesterday, but it tastes old because of that. Also see that the mint chocolate chip in the freezer is green… Pretty much means they’re using artificial color, which potentially means artificial flavor as well. Bummed. Came down from Kenwood....

I love their espresso chip ice cream. Very good quality. The staff is always nice and the atmosphere is great. Don't get the Sundays though. As of this writing, they charge you $9.25. All you get for that is a tiny squirt of cold sauce, whipped cream, two scoops of ice cream, a few nuts and a cherry on top. For $7.50 you can get a double scoop of ice cream and save yourself $1.75. Just sayin'.

I wanted to get a Neapolitan type milkshake which is a combination of three flavors. Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The gal refused to make it because she said that they will only do up to two flavors. I told her I would pay more but she still refused. McDonald's down the street will do three flavors but they...
