Food wise, the quiche he got lacked flavor and was cold even after being heated up. The only reason I lean towards a three is I enjoyed the few bites I had of their ginger and pear muffin so if I'd only purchased their baked goods I probably wouldn't have realized how bad the food really was. Overall, it wasn't for us and we wouldn't come back.

Nice place to have a reasonably priced breakfast, lunch, or snack and watch CIA students in action…read more Very spacious and good for large groups. We had a cappuccino, oat latte, carrot cake, and earl gray Madeleine for our breakfast. The CIA students were sweet and attentive. We got a mango cheesecake tart and Yuzu matcha cookie for treats for later, the cheesecake was decadently rich and the cookie was deliciously matcha forward.

Lack of clear pricing:…read more The menu fails to alert customers that there is a mandatory 20% service charge in addition to the tax on the food. I told the instructor, Mr. Wolff, that the cafe needs to add a big sign about the service charge. The cafe is supposed to teach students about running a business and clear pricing is important so customers don't feel like they are being cheated or overcharged. Loud: You can ask for the students to help you carry your food or drink onto the terrace outside if you'd like to avoid the noise inside the cafe and enjoy the great view of the vineyard and hills across the road. Coffee: I like the coffee here. It reminds me of good European coffee. Gluten-free: There are few options. Potato chips: The freshly made chips were excellent. You can't compare them to the ones in the grocery store!

PAIN AU CHOCOLAT - wow the layers! amazing baking here (on another level) also got their COCONUT COLD BREW COFFEE, and the coconut cream was sooo yummy (I wished I had more of it). Cold brew was also strong. I was tempted to try their Lobster Corn Dog with caviar... but I guess next time~

TLDR: I expected nothing less from the incredible PRESS…read moreteam. Under-Study is an exceptionally creative, fun, and delicious addition to the Napa cafe scene and shines with its food items. Can't wait to come back sometime soon. ------ FOOD 1. [MUST TRY] BREAKFAST SANDWICH (5/5) I think the best breakfast sandwich we've ever had. The croissant was perfect: beautiful shape, expert lamination, extremely buttery taste, and super crispy from potentially an additional bake before becoming a sandwich. The egg was a fluffy souffle-type. Cheese and aioli were great, but most importantly, the sausage was EXCEPTIONAL. It was oddly shaped which is how you know it's a freshly-made sausage patty vs. a store-bought / freezer section sausage. 2. [MUST TRY] COCOA QUENELLE (5/5) One of the best chocolate desserts we had in Napa, and a chocolate lover's dream. The chocolate tart crust has an excellent chocolate flavor and is the kind with a very satisfying snap when you break it. The chocolate mousse covers a layer of thicker chocolate and a pool of salted caramel at the base of the tart. It's garnished with a chantilly cream quenelle on top with some candied nuts and cocoa nibs. Not only is this beautiful, but this is delicious. A must-have the next time I'm here. 3. [MUST TRY] SALMON RILLET (5/5) Super unique and high protein. Flattened and fried salmon skins that serve as your "chip". The "dip" is this lean trout + creme fraiche mixture topped with a layer of trout roe. The dip is on the leaner side vs. creamy side, so the salmon skin isn't hard enough to actually dip in the mixture. Better to use a fork to scoop the dip onto the salmon skin. 4. AVOCADO TOAST (4.5/5) Not my usual choice but the employee raved about this item. The avocado and kosho are mashed together into a smooth mousse that's then piped onto a great slice of sourdough. The acidity and kick of the kosho really shone through, making this better than most other avo toasts I've tried. 5. WAGYU SKEWERS (4/5) Two skewers with 3 pieces of wagyu each. The wagyu was good with flavorful salsa verde, but some pieces were a little tough. 6. GARDEN SALAD (4/5) Great, bright, simple salad. Large portion, great for some greens on the table! 7. BRIOCHE TART (3.5/5) Reminded me of a Czech kolache -- essentially a danish but instead of a puff pastry dough, it's a soft brioche bread. The center had a cream cheese and raspberry filling. While the filling was delicious and the brioche was nice, there was a bit too big of a brioche-to-filling ratio for my personal preference. 8. PAIN SUISSE (2/5) Given the ham, cheese, and mustard, felt like a play on a cubano. While the flavors were there, the pastry was unfortunately a bit dense and lacked the buttery, flakey layers I was hoping for. I asked for this to be warmed up, which they happily accommodated, but strangely the ham inside was actually cold, even after being in the oven. ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Beautiful cafe right next to the fabulous PRESS Restaurant in St. Helena. Essentially, it's on the road toward downtown but without the traffic of having to enter the downtown area. * Huge parking lot so parking is convenient and shouldn't be an issue * Both a large outdoor area with several different tables and high-top seats, as well as indoor seating (though only a few two-person high top tables and a handful of lower stool seats) * Overall the style is bright, colorful, and perfect for a girls trip, breakfast/lunch with friends, and quick stop for a coffee and pastry ------ SERVICE: * Surprisingly hit or miss. There was a gentleman here whom I interacted with the most who was absolutely wonderful and a joy to chat with. Similarly, another woman who seemed important was very kind. But a couple other employees were expressionless toward me. * Some items were ready surprisingly quickly while others took a surprisingly slow time to come out. For example, the breakfast sandwich and salmon rillets were super speedy. But then the wagyu and avo toast took 20-30 minutes to come out. Similarly, when I asked for the pan suisse to be heated up, it took over 10 minutes for them to do so.

My fiancé got a vanilla latte and a croissant, and I got a cappuccino and their lemon pastry. All were quite good. Not overly sweet, which we appreciated.

Definitely a 5-star coffee house.

It took me a while to post that review as I'm Not a fan of…read morenegative reviews and I prefer to share positive experiences than negative... Nonetheless our experience there was pretty terrible. We booked the hotel for 3 nights for my wife birthday with calm, relaxing and tranquility in mind. At $900 a night we were expecting something different. We booked on booking.com and the photos are very deceiving. The room was actually pretty small and no fire place when it shows on every single photos when we chose the room. First night we arrived fairly late driving from the South Bay, we arrived to a bedroom a lot smaller than expected and baby screams throughout the night. A wedding was booked that weekend unfortunately for us so no calm and quiet and lot of people on the property- maybe privatizing the hotel for a wedding will be great for the guest that are trying to make it restful The price on the property and around are just gauged to the max $300+ for a very basic massage . Overpriced overhyped, when Bay Area money spoiled a beautiful place...

Small but cozy and decorated with kitschy and cute decor, this coffee house/cafe offers coffee, tea, matcha, boba drinks, smoothies and fresh juices. They also have breakfast goodies and other items like muffins, burritos and frittatas. Everything is fresh and served quick. You can sit inside or there are also some outside benches overlooking the lake in the back. I was able to order a sugar-free blended mocha with sugar-free whipped cream. Ahem, REAL whipped cream. Yes it was fantastic and a great price as well. They have a huge variety of flavored syrups and options, protein bases and vegan milks and can create drinks on par with a certain windmill chain...ONLY better! Shoutout and thank you to the wonderful staff and especially to the sweetest barista ever, who helped me customize my drink to fit my dietary needs.
