Our Story

We are a family-owned café located on the Petaluma River. Our love for high-quality food, handcrafted beverages, and authentic service inspired us to establish Grand Central café, aiming to offer an exceptional experience to both our community and visitors. Grand Central café is a melting pot for flavors, cultures and the building itself is the original Petaluma and Santa Rosa railway ticket booth.  

The owners are Juan Carlos and Natalie Vinueza, a married couple who met near Grand Central Station in New York City 15 years ago. 

                                            

Juan Carlos, who hails from Ecuador, and Natalie from Petaluma, along with their son Franco and skilled staff, make Grand Central a must-visit destination in Petaluma.
