SONOMA COUNTY’S FINEST 🍔 🍟 🍗
.
Join me @thesocomarket at the 2026 Fork N Good Festival 🍴 as I try out @thanksfortheinvite.ca & dive into the culinary genius that chef @justinwaynehaley is🔥. @pressdemo deemed him the Sonoma County Smashburger King 👑, well deserved. Award-winning Smash Burgers 🍔 & Chicken Tenders 🍗 , I can see why. The creativity of the flavors, the alternative ingredients, all while not sacrificing that delicious flavor. The tenders were a flavor/texture 💣, the recipe is 🤌🏽, that Nashville hot sauce had me SWEATIN 🥵, the fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly 🍟, burger was a heavy hitter 💪🏽. Glad I got the invite😎
.
WHAT IS IN THAT RSVP sauce??😭 No one’s ever guessed the main ingredient that gives it the Nickelodeon orange, what do you think it is? 👀

✨️🧹🐈‍⬛️I PUT A SPELL ON YOU… AND YOU CAME OUT READY FOR SOME SANDERSON SISTER MAGIC!!! 🔮✨️🧹 Last night was a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, laughter, and almost tears (we couldn’t find the paint trays 🤣).
Our guests enjoyed tricks + treats and, of course, sips from @flagshiptaproom. We created magical, #HOCUSPOCUS-inspired paintings while watching the original 1993 Hocus Pocus film.
Last night was special not only for our guests, but also for our team. It highlighted our dedication and hard work—we poured love and energy into this event, and it showed in how @flagshiptaproom consistently shows up for us. It was a collective effort, and I couldn't be happier!

honestly though, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu 🧸

We are so incredibly thankful to be part of such a wonderful community. 💚🐾

Being recognized as a 2026 Nextdoor Neighborhood Fave means so much to all of us at Sebastopol Paw Spa. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to vote for us, support our small business, recommend us to your friends and neighbors, and continue to trust us with some of the most important members of your family. 🥹🐶

We never take that trust for granted. Getting to know you and care for your four-legged little (and sometimes very big!) bundles of love is truly what makes this place so special.

We are beyond grateful to call this community home, and here’s to continuing to do everything we can to make Sebastopol Paw Spa a place where both people and pups feel welcomed, cared for, and loved. 💚

Thank you, Sebastopol! We couldn’t do this without you. 🐾🏆 #sebastopolpawspa #nextdoorneighborhoodfavorite #sebastopolcalifornia #sonomacountydogs #happydog
