Breakfast inside a beautiful 123 year old stone church…read more I adore churches, nuns, priests - all of it - and I especially love historic spaces that have been thoughtfully transformed. This one is full of charm and soul, and if you're always searching for something special, it's absolutely worth your time. We came in for breakfast, just as they opened, before heading to nearby wineries. The lox bagel was delicious. My open-face biscuit was out of this world - rich, buttery, and layered with airy, flaky perfection. It came topped with an over-easy egg with perfectly runny yolk, savory bacon, creamy avocado, green onions, and a red pepper aioli that added just a touch of heat. Our coffees were also great, and my sweet hive latte with cinnamon was one of the best iced lattes I've ever had. The interior is spacious and serene, filled with natural light, tall ceilings, and plenty of happy plants. I love what they've done with this historic landmark - it feels peaceful, and inviting. Service was as warm as the sunshine. Open daily for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood. Thank you for a beautiful and delicious morning.

The Riv has incredible potential, but unfortunately the experience didn't live up to the setting…read more The building itself is stunning--a beautifully restored historic church with a warm atmosphere, a great soundtrack, and even some of the original pews repurposed as seating. It's a unique space that's worth seeing. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The restaurant appeared significantly understaffed, and most of the menu items we wanted weren't available. Ordering and paying at the counter isn't necessarily a problem, but for a restaurant of this size it creates an inefficient experience and leaves guests without much support once they've ordered. Once the food arrived it 45-minutes later, it was underwhelming and looked like items from a grocery store deli. I hope they're able to address the staffing and kitchen issues, because the venue deserves a dining experience that matches its character. Until then, hesitate to go.

I mention the staff because sometimes there's a person in the kitchen who refuses to make any modifications, but the typical crew here goes out of their way to make sure you're happy with whatever meal you order. Quantities are generous, and the food is high quality. If you really are interested in a healthier breakfast or lunch, I highly recommend it. Milo and Isaac took care of me today.

This is a very crowded grocery store with a small kitchen…read more You order at a counter that is crowded in by water/coffee station and a few tables. Service was very friendly at the kitchen and they took our order quickly. Then you grab drinks/chips from the cooler area and pay at the cashier (he was extremely grumpy). Sit at one of the indoors outdoors tables and the bring your lunch to you. I had the Italian which has a very small spoonful of pesto on it. He had the BLT that was swimming in mayo! Somewhere in between of beans th sandwiches would be good. Some lettuce and tomato on the Italian would be good also. They are large sandwiches though and we ended up taking half of each home for dinner.
