Trinks Cafe

Awesome breakfast / lunch.
Beautiful setting and view in back of the restaurant.
Somewhat expensive but I had the Big Boy Breakfast 😋

Very good food, and fabulous latte. Pleasant staff. Beautiful setting also.

The best Cherry Pie I have ever had!
Deep dish, loaded with cherries, naturally sweet and topped with whipped cream-delicious!
The hamburger was very good also with a salad & house made balsamic dressing.

A nice spot to stop for a quick bite when you’re exploring the northern coast. We stopped her specifically for breakfast but the sandwiches look great so a lunch visit is in store next time we’re in the area. I had a traditional breakfast, which was great, and my wife had a smoothie. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather and later walked down to the cliff side to get a nice view of the Pacific Ocean. The baked goods looked fantastic but it was too early in the day for sweets so we unfortunately were unable to indulge ourselves. The parking lot is big enough to fit the entire strip mall but park at the far end of the lot for the shortest walk to the restaurant.

Walk up & order cafe style eatery. You get a buzzer and seat yourself. Dog friendly outdoor patio. Some seats have ocean views. Fresh food, fluffy pancakes and very good coffee.

Delicious grassfed burgers and fries. The cappuccino was ok. Nice staff

Amazing!!!! They have the best pastries and coffee. Pies, muffins, tarts, and more. Plus meats, jams, cheese, and local goods. There are only a few spots for seating but behind the cafe is a large grassy area with seats as well and a paved pathway for a coastal wave.

Clink clinks, sizzle slurps, welcome to trinks, heaven on earth. My cohort and I stopped here after a beautiful hike to re-fuel, and found our every whim matched and fulfilled. The bblt is a revelation, the aioli on the blackened chicken will carry you away like a pacific breeze, the snickerdoodle is like a warm hug from one of the local raccoons. There is a wide selection of local food items, breads baked in house, and even local meats (ask if they have the gopher cutlets!). Shhhh, ahhhh, enjoy.

Fantastic breakfast here. Lots of good vegetarian options. Delicious scones. Took back a meal for lunch at our rental.

Trinks has so much to offer. Aside from the standard breakfast and lunch options, they also have a nice selection of drinks, cakes, desserts, and pastries. The bagel with cream cheese was great and the big boy meal was very filling. The bacon was cooked perfectly and I liked the old bay seasoning on the potatoes.

What a lovely place to catch lunch after a walk through the redwoods! When we entered the restaurant, we were blown away by the prepared foods section. They have meat, soups and desserts ready to go, as well as a large beer and wine collection.

The food itself was very tasty - I had the salmon flatbread and my partner had the BBLT (second B is bleu cheese). They were both delicious but the BBLT was heaven. I'm putting bleu cheese on all my BLT's now.

They have a lovely outdoor area that overlooks the ocean and plenty of tables to sit down. Beware of the seagulls trying to catch a bite. Definitely a little slice of paradise!

Brown rice bowl with 2 soft, not runny eggs. 10 ☆.

Great place for breakfast and lunch.

Keep up the great work. We'll be back.

Every time we are in gualala we stop at trunks for lunch. Absolutely amazing food and a great staff make it a wonderful place but the view from the back is just breathtaking.

Thank you so much for having free WiFi! This place rocks. We came in for lunch. Order at the counter and then find a place to sit - preferably one with a view. This restaurant is spacious and there are tons of great seating spots outside.

They are known for their desserts - they are all on display when you walk up to the counter and they look so delicious.

You can purchase food to go, there’s a fridge with pre-packaged soups, cakes and pastas ready to go. There’s also a retail section that hold local goods like jams, honeys and hot sauces.

I like the serve-yourself feel of the coffee/tea/water station.

Super nice employees. Credit cards accepted. A little pricey but the quality is all local and worth the price. We spent $44 on a tuna sandwich, a burger, hibiscus tea and a dark roast coffee. The food was really good. Huge portions, I took half my sandwich to-go. Get the quinoa salad, it’s delicious and has raisins in it. The burger was locally raised and grass-fed. The salad that came with the burger was super fresh. Meals served with those awesome crunchy little pickles.

Bathrooms located outside and around the back.

The daily breakfast tacos special was great! Nice pastries too. My partner ordered the pumpkin spice latte, which was also solid.

The shop is clean and overall very cozy. The service was friendly. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options so pick a spot you want and enjoy it all. Lovely ambiance and view of the water... Unless you sit inside. The food came out hot, fresh, and delicious. Between our blacken chicken, beef burgers, and fried chicken, not one complaint. Coffee and desserts are great too.

I would 100% come back to this spot. There is also a nearby trail for a nice (little) walk after a meal... So at least you don't feel too bad for loading up on tasty food.

We came here because it was recommended by a friend. The coffee is excellent; my husband liked the Aztec Mocha which has quite a kick. The pastries are delicious - the peanut butter cheesecake is to die for.

Holy smokes, what a find!! Trinks Cafe was wonderful! From the helpful and friendly staff, to vast coffee menu, to the pastries, and the best chorizo and egg tacos I've ever had. Don't miss this spot, it is FANTASTIC!

Wonderful food and views! What more can you ask for. We took the 101 and were to happy to find this spot. Enjoyed a veggie breakfast sandwich (check out that cheese!), iced coffee and their green smoothie. Make this a pit stop for sure.

My fiancé and I stayed in Anchor Bay at the Redwood House, and stopped at Trinks for breakfast & coffee. I'm back in South Dakota now, still dreaming about their Peach Scones! Their Green Smoothies were delicious and the view is incredible. I would love to come back again one day.
