The beignets were delicious and Julie, our server, was the best! :) My husband ordered eggs Benedict with sausage and the combination of lemon and spicy sausage was not good. Julie offered to switch out his breakfast with pancakes without blinking an eye! Thanks for making our visit to The Twins a wonderful experience, Julie. We will be back!

This might be my new favorite breakfast spot! From the moment we walked in we were greeted by one of the employees and he let us know we could sit anywhere we would like. To my surprise there were 2 tables open because the place was packed! The restaurant has a home style ambiance .We sat at a table and were immediately greeted by one of the twins. She offered us drinks and let us know what the specials were. I went with an oj and my boyfriend got a Diet Coke(canned). She took our food order shortly after, I went with the Florentine Benedict with bacon added and the beignets.My boyfriend chose the French toast with the brandy sauce and a side of bacon . We received the beignets first and they were delicious! They were paired with a scrumptious homemade berry sauce and brandy sauce. Our food arrived shortly after, the florentine Benedict was AMAZING. The potatoes were nice and crispy! My boyfriend also enjoyed his French toast. The french toast was probably one of the best French toasts that I have ever tasted. The only downside was that we did have to ask 3 different people for the check, which was understandable because it was extremely busy for a Monday (holiday time). I would recommend this restaurant.

Second time here and everything was wonderful. The place was packed when we arrived at 11:30 on a Saturday morning but we snagged a table outside under the awning. It was a chilly day but they had ample outdoor heaters that made things comfortable. Husband ordered the chilaquiles rojo and added chorizo, and I went for their two egg breakfast ($10 and comes with two eggs your way, breakfast potatoes, and a slice of toast or biscuit). I opted to go for the $3 up charge for a sausage patty. Where can you get a full breakfast for $13 these days?! Service throughout our meal was outstanding and the food was great. This isn't your typical breakfast/lunch diner- their food is crafted with great care and love and it shows. I was pleasantly surprised when my plate arrived with not one but two sausage patties (was only charged for one). These were clearly house made and were delicious. Their homemade jam was stellar!! As the restaurant is named for the two twin sisters who own the place, they always give a little extra treatment to any twins who might come in. We were seated next to a family who had twin girls, maybe 4ish. The owners brought out a big wooden sign that said "The Twins" and photographed the girls holding it. I believe they keep a photo wall of each of these inside. The whole thing was adorable to watch. What a great way to make your customers feel valued. We happened to be visiting on their 5th anniversary and they had us fill out these little cards with our info- they're doing a raffle and will be giving certain items away. Thought that was a fun touch. The energy here is a lot of fun and the food is really great. We live in Santa Rosa so this place isn't super close but it's definitely worth a special trip. Highly recommend!

Yum yum, this place has very good food. Friend and I both ordered the Mediterranean Benedict from the special menu and OMG it was one of the best Benedicts I've ever had. Tomatoes, spinach, feta, and artichoke hearts on their homemade biscuits - absolutely fantastic. Staff is friendly and efficient. Can't wait to go back.

Stopped here for the first time to try this cute restaurant in the plaza in Cotati that features Oliver's Market. I walked in, and it felt inviting, the restaurant dining room was clean and well appointed, I appreciated that efforts were made to transform the dining space from a typical shopping center establishment to something a little warmer. There is an outdoor seating option, on the sidewalk in front. A small countertop surrounds their coffee station where I sat to enjoy breakfast. The two things that seem to stand out to me for this obvious small business that is cared for deeply by the people that operate. It is first the enthusiasm and happiness each team member seems to have. I felt welcomed by multiple ladies on the team, my coffee was refilled attentively, and there was an overall friendly vibe in the place, as I heard waitresses speaking to families at nearby tables. Second - besides your typical breakfast fare, there is a specials menu that seems to have some thought put into it. I believe one of them was a seared Ahi Tuna Benedict, which I thought it sounded interesting. It would be fun to visit in the future to see what the specials are. I chose the "Double Trouble" - your typical American breakfast dish with eggs any way you like them, bacon, or sausage, pancakes, or French toast, and potatoes. The food was cooked to perfection, I had no complaints. I don't prefer breakfast potatoes, but these were good - if it's something you like. The bacon was well done and crispy. Three small suggestions for improvement that to me make a big difference at breakfast: 1) I wish they chose to use pure maple syrup instead of your typical thick non-genuine syrup. I understand it's more expensive. But it would've raised the game on the French toast x 1000. This might not make a difference to everybody, but in general, I do try to clean and I don't like a whole lot of artificial ingredients. I think a lot of folks here in this region do as well. I would've gladly paid an extra $2-$3 for real maple syrup. Perhaps offer it as an option? 2) I would choose different bread for the French toast. Same thing about the cost factor, it's worth an extra few dollars to get something higher grade. The French toast was ok, but for a place that seems to want to separate themselves from your typical diner food to maybe "a cut above" - they could choose some kind of brioche or French bread or similar which would really raise the game. 3) Poor cell service, no restaurant Wi-Fi. A neighboring business offers Wi-Fi so I was able to get some reception. But it is a total cell dead zone inside at least for my carrier. It would be nice if they had dedicated Wi-Fi for clients. All that said - I loved the place and will come back specifically because of the people and what I think are options for family. Plus, a decent value for what you get. I still give them five stars because it felt that way even with those little suggestions that I mentioned. If you are in the area and want a solid breakfast, you will not be disappointment, and you will be well treated.

This is the second time I've been to Twins restaurant. I had the breakfast tacos. They were very good. They had chorizo, avocado and egg with sauce. They came with potatoes. My friend had the veggie sandwich she liked it, but it was a bit too crumbly for her The service was very good, and they were very kind The place is small, but comfortable
