Places to order at the counter with kids in Petaluma

Petaluma's family coffee shop with an indoor play space: espresso and real food for adults, a dedicated kid play zone steps from the tables - designed for exactly this.

Downtown Petaluma's giant open-air garden: 350 outdoor seats, BBQ and smash burgers, live music, and room for kids to move - it bills itself as family friendly and means it.

The oldest continually operating cheese company in America: grab sandwiches and picnic fixings at the deli counter, then eat at tables by the pond while kids watch the geese and run the lawn.
