OUR NEW JOINT. PERIOD.
Aubergine Vintage Emporium and Cafe
755 Petaluma Avenue
Sebastapol

Tempted by a tin-roof covered, outdoor patio and live music drifiting out into the barest existence of a breeze that we were floating on, we stopped for a bite.
Inside was a retreat from the heat into a converted barn of sorts with hard wood floors, a black iron spiralling staircase into the barns loft ( where a dj booth was at the ready), and disco balls. One in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. The tables, tall pub-like or long, low, well used benches that stretched forever. A stage inside let us know that THIS was a place where music was appreciated AND cultivated. In fact, it was Vintage Vinyl w/ Noah D day, and what was on.....?
Let me take you there....

The menu bare in its insistence on not being too foofy but not sparing any of the rich detail that makes up a cafe that uses local produce and organic in nature at that.
May I recommend??
The Greek Salad that Aa, Lolo and I shared? HUGE
The Turkey and Cheddar Panini that Darian ate? Wholesome, simple and comforting with a little dollop of Macaroni Salad on the side.
My Feta & Olive Panini? Heaven. Rich. Foody-worthy. My side? Baby Red Potato Salad.
Any other time, lunch would be rushed and swallowed in massive, starving bites, but who wants to leave when there is nothing much going on outside except the day stretched out ahead, miles away from nothing much else we'd rather do.
and besides....who would want to go when all of this was waiting on the other side of satiation????
What a Sunday it was.....
