Taylor Lane Organic Coffee - Santa Rosa

I love this place! Great atmosphere. They have a lot of local artists exhibiting here, both upstairs and on ground floor. Kudos to them for displaying local artwork!!

Fun coffee house in the Barlow of Sebastopol nice music, friendly staff who make truly perfect coffee my latte was absolutely perfect! Who draws on coffee that well??!??

The atmosphere is cool and the lattes are pretty smooth and tasty but only 3 stars for the wait time and prices 15 minutes and $11 for two 8oz lattes.

Jaden and Isabel are amazing Baristas with a winning attitude! I would say that this place improved in its customer service, and overall efficiency. Sunday’s and the younger new staff need to step up their game. keep in mind, there’s another Starbucks about to open in this town next week, and their baristas are ordered to greet all customers even in the drive thru which they have after the acquisition of the former Burger King, and if it’s like the McDonald’s they took over, you can expect pleasant greetings and super fast assembling of drinks which Taylor has always lacked, it’s astonishing how long it takes them to get an espresso shot into a cup (ie/ an Americano) so I still stop in almost daily and it is in the Barlow, which is a plus and pert a minus at times, but make no mistake, the new Starbucks is a credible, and formidable, threat to the already crowded Sebastopol Coffee shops in such close proximity of each-other. You might think Starbucks is corporate, and will not succeed in a liberal town, but they have proven in the former McDonald’s location they acquired, that that is absolutely false. Don’t forget people come off the highways and it’s a matter of convenience and it would be a good idea to take the new Starbucks seriously at the other end of town (because they are only a mile apart and there is another Starbucks inside of the Safeway supermarket that all the high school kids go to). My update is not intended to hurt this place, I’m just saying, greeting customers, and saying have a nice day, as fake as it may be, it’s some thing that customers like to hear. Finally, and again, this is meant to be constructive criticism, this place is known to run out of sugar alternatives like stevia or Splenda etc, which Starbucks always has plenty of, and I’m not going to lie, it’s absolutely unacceptable for me to buy the coffee and then be told that they don’t have it. If I’m paying those prices plus a dollar tip, I deserve to have the Coffee sweet the way I like it. And I can’t have sugar so the substitute are my go to.. and lastly, the pastry is run out very quickly, with Retrograde and the other coffee houses partnering with Redbird, Bakery, and others, it would be wise for the manager to make sure that you over order rather than under order pastries. Even if you have to give away a few at the end of the day. Because people remember that they wanted a croissant and you didn’t have one or a cookie. Again, this has nothing to do with the baristas. This is the responsibility of the owners

The ambiance definitely deserves a 10/10, but the coffee is very expensive and the wifi is too slow to be useful. This coffee spot mostly just makes me miss the old Sebastopol, pre barlow.
