Delicious Food + Good Vibes: The Heart Behind Lunchette with Naomi Crawford

On this episode of Beyond the Vines, I sit down with Naomi Crawford, owner of Lunchette in downtown Petaluma. Located just across the street from my office, Lunchette has become one of my favorite local spots — whether I’m grabbing my go-to chickpea salad, ordering ahead for a quick lunch, or stopping in for the brunch bowl with sweet potatoes and poached egg. Naomi shares the story behind Lunchette, what inspired her vision for the space, and how she created a business that blends fresh food, convenience, and community. We talk about the realities of running a food business, the importance of creating an inviting customer experience, and what makes Petaluma such a special place to open a local restaurant. If you love supporting local businesses, discovering great food spots, or hearing the stories behind Sonoma County entrepreneurs, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. You can find Lunchette at 25 4th Street in Petaluma, on Instagram at @lunchette_petaluma, and on the web at lunchettepetaluma.com.  You can find Amy Ahlers at amyahlersrealestate.com and @amyahlers_realtor on Instagram.
