Our favorite place to go for a run and walk Bennett. Spring lake offers beautiful views and a few different loops to choose from based on distance (2-3.5 miles). Stop by Avid Coffee before and and enjoy great coffee and breakfast items.
Annadel offers miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and trail riding. Hiking trails range from 5-13 miles. We recommend the Lake Ilsanjo via Canyon and Spring Creek Trail (4.8mi), Rough Go Trail Loop via Canyon Trail (5.9mi) or the Canyon Trail to Spring Creek Trail Loop 7.4mi) if you're feeling adventurous.
Our go-to coffee shop when we're in Santa Rosa. You can't go wrong with anything on their menu and their breakfast sandwiches/burritos are amazing if you can get there early enough before they sell out.
The OG breakfast spot since Elena was a little kid. Christian was an instant fan. Located just across the street from the Flamingo Hotel or a seven minute drive if you're staying in Railroad Square.
If you haven't had Sol Food before, this is a must visit! It's about a 20 minute drive south of Santa Rosa and worth the trip. If you're flying into SFO/OAK there's a location in San Rafael you can also stop by on the way to Santa Rosa but the Petaluma location offers much more seating and is also on the way. Our favorite is the Pollo al Horno Plate and the limeade/mango iced tea but you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.
