Crystal's Corner

Been going here for over 30 years. The owner and his wife are some of the nicest people and you can get anything from donuts to Chinese food to burgers and fries and the prices are great. Unfortunately the owner and wife have sold their business. Still the same great food and a very nice new owner. Sadly Ian and his wife have retired. I will definitely miss you guys and I hope you have the best retirement possible.

Amazing hidden gem that opens early (5am). Serving excellent varieties of local "Wolf" brand coffee & many wonderful choices of freshly baked donuts. My personal favorite, however, is a made-to-order fluffy breakfast croissant (or platter, if you prefer) filled with scrambled eggs, cheese & JUST RIGHT crispy bacon! Definitely yummy, sometimes addictive. After trying it once or twice - you may find yourself craving it in the morning. You were warned! Lol I haven't eaten breakfast in decades, until discovering Crystal's Corner and those awesome croissant sandwiches. I'm disabled but still make a trip for them, even in pain. Warm, fresh and simply perfect, especially if you're partial to good croissants as I am (got spoiled in Geneva, Switzerland). They also serve breakfast bagels with your choice of: egg, cheese (different kinds, including cream cheese), bacon, sausage, ham, and plenty other options. HASHBROWNS are superb!! Check the board for "Daily Specials" -- though this restaurant is inexpensive in general, but the quality of food is 👌. Also available & made to order are a variety of sandwiches, burgers, soups.. soft drinks, juices, fruits and more. Clean restrooms available in the back of the restaurant via outside walkway. Ask attendant for the key. Located next to Whole Foods, if you have a chance - don't miss trying out this wonderful & honest small family business. You won't regret it. Just the sheer variety of donuts (melt in your mouth fresh) is well worth trying! I know I'm repeating myself but I still HIGHLY recommend most of all the above-mentioned "egg, bacon & cheese" croissant (+ optional hashbrowns) as the bestest savory item on the menu - if you have room, get double bacon.. as this family owned & operated small business makes it sooooooo good, just the right amount of crunch!! Finish off with a donut of your choice, maybe a coffee or an orange juice - and you'll have energy well past lunchtime! Deliciousness guaranteed! 🤤

Absolutely LOOOVE this place. The donuts are the best I've had in Santa Rosa and they have these awesome hot breakfast sandwiches that are really reasonably priced. Hook on this place! The donuts are amazing quality, but admittedly they are pretty sweet so if that's not your thing, maybe try a plain. Lots.of sugar in the dough.

Crystal's Corner is awesome. I have been going to Crystal's Corner for over 20 years and now and bringing my sons for years also and we love not just the donuts but also the rest of their breakfast and lunch menus as well. It's also a family owned business and everyone is incredibly nice. Making it a great place to go and or take your kids on a Saturday or Sunday mornings. My kids think its a great place to stop on the way to slater middle school Montgomery High or whatever school in the area they attend. The change of owners has made a bit of a difference the past few months. But thankfully the previous owners are still there on some days to help out and helping the new owners get things down before the hand it over for good. It seems to me like it may have been a family sale so the new owner may be getting help from the previous owner.

I just love this little bakery / sandwich shop. The reason I gave it only four stars is they sorely lack following any kind of COVID protocols. The man in front of me didn't wear a mask at all and would once in awhile cover his mouth and nose with his T-shirt. Stood right in front of the owners and gave his order without anything on his face and they never said one word. Plus, there were so many people in there today there's no way you could get 6 ft away from anybody. I would like to have seen some tape on the ground or some other kind of delineator to show they were at least trying.
