SOME INTERESTING HISTORY OF THE REDWOOD CAFE AND THE COTATI SPEEDWAY
In 1920, a builder named Jack Price created excitement when he convinced racing enthusiasts all over the North Bay that he could build a world-class auto speedway. He succeeded on 135 acres on East Cotati Avenue near the railroad tracks and dubbed it the Cotati Speedway. The all-wood, bowl shaped track was 1.25 miles around and required more than 3 million feet of lumber and gave drivers a place to run record-breaking races. Wildly popular, its first race was Aug. 14, 1921 with all 10,000 seats filled. Sadly, cold, rainy weather and traffic congestion to get to the track caused its failure after only two years. The speedway was dismantled and wood from it went to build homes and businesses in the area.
And did you know: The floor of the Redwood Cafe was built from the wood of the Cotati Speedway Track!
Come here often. This is the first time I had a snafu. Confirmed no dairy in my scramble and asked for cheese on the side as I was splitting my meal. Delfino came to follow up and kindly fixed the error. Kudos to him for fixing, apologizing and doing so with a smile on his face!
The food was flavorful and nicely presented, with portions that were just right. Good company along with the atmosphere was lively and fun live music, people dancing, and good energy all around. I loved being able to sit outside and enjoy the cool air while taking it all in. Definitely a spot worth visiting again!
Everything about this establishment breathes Sonoma County. From the atmosphere, to cleanliness, to the service, to the food, to the coffees and lattes, local artwork and live entertainment, all under one roof.
What’s not to love!! Food is always on point. Flavor, potion size and freshness surround their meals and sides. Get the pastries!!!!! Trust me n this…
Visiting from the 🇬🇧. Found this little gem. Great food, service and lovely little cafe. People are super friendly who work here. This will no doubt become my regular go to.
I got the redwood burger medium rare, it was absolutely massive and well made. It did not come with mustard and ketchup, however it strangely came with mayo on the side. The fries were steak style and came in a massive portion as well. There was a striking array of desserts at the counter to choose from. You must approach the counter to order and pay all at once then seat yourself with a number and your drink. The waitress brings your food and takes your plate when you’re done. The vibe is very quaint and folksy, it is clearly a community hub for the city with a lot of live bands and group meetups in it’s very spacious interior.
I love Redwood Cafe has been quite the hub of “Community” lately! Whenever my family comes to town they always want to dine here. They are so warm, inviting and friendly! The other night we ordered take out and they had music I wish we stayed. This morning it was packed. The service is stellar and I LOVE THIS PLACE!
It’s no wonder that Redwood Cafe is a staple of the community. Their food is always wonderful and so is the service. The atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable, similar to a saloon. It’s one of my favorite places to share a meal and catch up with a loved one.
Incredible and friendly staff. a very well done menu with lots of great choices. the food is wonderful and fantastic there are some unique items to choose from BUT ALL THE DESERTS THERE ARE UTTERLY DELICIOUS!! THIS PLACE IS WHAT AWESOME TASTE’S LIKE!!
Our family of 4 (kids 8 and 10) had to stop in Petaluma to do laundry during our trip from Seattle to San Francisco . We googled places to eat and tried Redwood Cafe. It was excellent. Food was very good, it was self serve but food came quickly once ordered. Good for kids as well. I’d highly recommend if you need a place to stop.
