I was recently over in Napa and had a craving for a good latte. I had been to Naysayer once before, but it was their other location. This location is in a small strip mall with some neat little local businesses. I love the look of the place. It uses really nice coloring and art on the walls. It is small but does have a little bit of seating. The staff is really friendly and we had a fun conversation with one of the baristas. My wife had a cup of their drip coffee, which she said was good. I ordered their "OK, Bloomer Latte," which is a Lavender latter with Tulsi syrup. I love a good lavender drink in the spring and this one is the perfect balance of sweet with the milk and espresso. I also want to shout out to their sense of humor here with the names of menu items and their coffee roasts. Naysayer is a great local business in Napa! read more

As a coffee lover of course I googled top coffee shops to visit with in Napa and Naysayer did not disappoint. Their collection of coffee beans is simply delicious and I wish I had ordered some to take home to NJ. As an East Coaster I love almond milk so it would've been nice to have but I liked that they had oatmeal as an alternative. read more

Delicious coffee drinks and bites! toast options can get a lil boring but I was hungry and happy I tried it. Got the ::::: goat cheese and ricotta toast 8$:::: and it was so tasty. Creamy offset with the freshness of the savory sweet grapes. So unexpected. ::::drip:::: 4$ so tasty we ended up getting 2 bags. Bright side which seems to be their most popular 12oz. And, oddly, the other bag is 8oz. Didn't catch it. Until I held them in separate hands after leaving so not sure why that one is more expensive. Service was good. Not too much chit chat unless you asked something directly but they were really busy when we came so it was perfect. It's a bustling lil shop in a cool place just outside of downtown. Easy parking in the plaza. Limited seating especially with all the foot traffic inside. Two small tables outside so be prepared to drink elsewhere, if necessary. ::::Paloma E&T:::: 7$ could've been any other citrus but it was excellent. Would get again. read more

I wish I had read the reviews before I spent so much money and a bag of beans from this place. They look old, dried out and taste terrible. read more

I stopped by Naysayer Coffee around 10am on a Friday, and there was a steady stream of people coming in and out, but not too packed. Despite being a relatively small space, there is some bench seating along the wall and bar seating by the window. There were some tempting pastries on display, but I only grabbed the seasonal sesame matcha latte since I had plans to grab food elsewhere already. The sesame matcha latte was definitely unique - with a lightly tart pomegranate cream top that wasn't too overpowering. I found the matcha itself wasn't very prominent, and was maybe overwhelmed by the nuttiness of the sesame. Naysayer is a cozy, cute corner in the neighborhood, and I definitely want to come back to try the pastries and lattes next time! read more

Small but very cute coffee shop with a creative menu. Got the Cranberry & Orange E&T which was one of the season drinks at the time. First E&T (espresso & tonic) I've ever tried and I loved it! Very refreshing and creative. I had a time sensitive work email to send off so I dropped by to get that done and grab a coffee and it worked out great. Staff was very friendly. I don't think it's the best coffee shop to work long term as it's small and not a lot of seating so you don't want to hog the seats for too long but it worked out for a quick email send! read more

Local joint, local service, local products. What more can I say? There are 4 seats on the interior should you decide to have your beverage there. (I had my coffee there... but while I sipped on my beverage, I noticed more folk had their order for take out) They do support local as a few vendors had their products on the shelf for retail sale. They have their own merch.... Nuff said! ps- coffee ok..... read more

wonderful espresso drinks, creative seasonal menu. warm and loving staff. cozy and charming location. Food City is lucky to have Naysayer, they were the catalyst for that area being what it is today. if you're a local and haven't tried Naysayer it's time to lock in. if you're a visitor, Naysayer has to be on your radar!! read more

Wow honestly I couldn't recommend this spot enough! The entire menu sounded so intriguing and the flavors sounded so unique. I truly wish I lived closer to this spot! I ordered the seasonal matcha which was so yum! It wasn't too sweet and was so creamy. I also got the jalapeño cream cheese with fruit preserves which was so unique! I never would have thought that would go well together. Staff were super friendly too!! Absolutely coming back! read more

To those that venture out this way, Napa is more than just some of their amazingly delicious wines. It is also home to some of the top-shelf restaurants, million-dollar views, and surprisingly, quite a few locally owned-and-operated bakeries and coffeeshops. Which takes me to one of Napa's most popular spots, "Naysayer Coffee Roasters". Located in the Food City outdoor strip mall and at the corner of Old Sonoma Rd/Jefferson St in the heart of Napa, this place has been brewing up delicious coffee & tea beverages dating back to mid-2021. I came here with my lady during the morning of Saturday 7/12/2025 at around 11:15am. Parking was readily available as this place also houses a Mexican restaurant, a barbershop, and other various businesses. Upon entry, this place was bustling with customers while the interior layout was relatively small. I would say that it is a little too small to fully enjoy your experience which is why I highly recommend the outdoor patio area that is adjacent to the building. However, you will find some really cool wall art that reads "Greetings From Napa", "Say What You Mean", and a very large easy to read menu displaying their most popular drink options. They also had a physical paper menu that displayed the identical items on the board but also many more drink options, seasonal offerings, and a small (but unique) food menu. Since I didn't try anything here, I was able to sample a few sips of her "Iced Vanilla Latte". Service was quick, efficient, and only took about 3 minutes from paying the cashier to receiving our drink. I also do want to point out that they have generous hours of operation opening daily at 6am during the workweek and at 7am on the weekends. They do close at 3pm every single day. As for the coffee itself, the latte was solid and had the right about of espresso, milk, and syrup. I will say that the service here was amazing even though they were nonstop busy with customers during our visit. You will also find lots of cool merchandise for sale as well as their whole bean coffee that you can take home. Overall, a good pick and arguably a lot better quality than a chain like Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. My rating, an above average four stars. read more

Best crew, best coffee, and best bagels in town. My favorite weekend treat. Pro tip, get the picked onions on your bagel. read more

We have visited this location on two different occasions and both times there was a ridiculously long wait. Their hot lattes are fairly good. I purchased a bag of their coffee beans - they are awful! When I opened the bag, I found light brown beans that were COMPLETELY dried out. They looked like they had been dry roasted. I brewed a pot of these beans and I could not drink this coffee. read more

Small coffee shop outside of the Napa downtown area. Thai coffee shop has a great family friendly environment, there were families with small children and pets around all enjoying their morning coffee and breakfast. The Naysayer's staff is super friendly and are happy to answer any questions on the menu and help you choose what you are looking for. Their coffee is delicious and they have a great selection of drinks and seasonal drinks. I had the Cold Old Fashioned (I forgot the exact name, but essentially is a cold brew on nitro made similarly to an old fashioned) and it was delicious! Definitely stop by if you enjoy a good cup of joe! read more

I was super curious to try the honeydew mint E&T (espresso & tonic) since I've never thought honeydew would be a featured flavoring at a coffee shop and I must say.....verrrrry funky drink taste lol. Not mad at it though. Earthy, fruity, and even slightly tropical taste all at the same time. Didn't notice much of the mint. Overall I dig it and I recommend this seasonal offering only for taste adventurers. :p I also tried the strawberry fields cold brew, which is another seasonal offering. Not much of a distinct strawberry taste (like if strawberries weren't yet ripe). There was a general fruity taste to it though but it seemed to be coming from the brew itself (I do quite like the brew here in general and it's not surprising that I saw someone buy a bag of coffee beans). I'd still recommend it if you're looking for a cold brew. Very friendly staff. Small interior. No problems finding parking when I visited on a Sunday morning. read more

Adorable coffee spot right outside of downtown Napa. We stopped in before a busy day of wine tasting and they already had a good amount of visitors, but the wait was short. I tried their classic matcha, which was very good without the fancy flavors! They had a variety of other options to choose from. You can tell they are a local favorite! read more

I'm not a person who normally reviews places but I can't sit on my feelings about this establishment anymore. I want to start with the good first. I think Naysayers is one of the best coffee houses in Napa. My family exclusively buys our coffee beans from Naysayers, as the quality of their beans is consistently excellent. From the times I've visited both of their locations, I'd say the same about their espresso drinks: their baristas produce a consistently good product that has never left me disappointed. The service within their locations is not up to the same standard. For the past few years, I worked as a barista at multiple other small, third-wave coffee shops in Napa. I served countless customers who told me that they wouldn't visit Naysayers again because of how rude their staff is. Many of my peers at Napa Valley College (people who are seemingly the target demographic of this establishment) have told me that they avoid Naysayers because they expect to be treated poorly. As someone in the service industry, I first and foremost give grace to my peers. We're human beings. We all have bad days and sometimes we're unkind to others because of that. However, the service here is a persistent problem I've encountered over the span of years, one that has completely driven myself and many others away from this establishment. It's incredibly frustrating, as I enjoy their products and think their baristas are incredibly skilled. Hopefully there can be some change. There is so much good here but, quite frankly, it's challenging to make an effort to support an establishment that has consistently made me feel like a nuisance. read more

Popped in here for a quick coffee at 10:00am on a Friday. It was not quick. It took 12 minutes from placing an order to receiving my drink. There were three girls behind the bar but two of them were (I think) recalibrating the espresso machine and tasting shots as they did. Coffee was okay, maybe I just don't like the roast they use here. read more

I love going to my favorite places to find the best matcha. Napa, in particular, is an area I was ecstatic to find my new go-to place. Located about 10-13 minutes away from downtown Napa, Naysayer Coffee is located in a welcoming plaza. There's a pilates studio pretty much next door. Judging from Yelp reviews, I knew this place would be pretty solid. As soon as my boyfriend and I walked in, I knew this is place is exactly my kind of cafe. There's some seating indoors and outdoors. Staff was so sweet and helpful. 10/10. My boyfriend and I ordered the seasonal Strawberry Patch matcha with oat milk (less sweet). The color was a perfect vibrant green and tasted just as good as it looks. You could still taste the astringency of the matcha through the cold foam. Can't wait to come back! read more

This coffee is not a good fit for me. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. I drove off and a few miles into my trip home took my first sip. Wow - like eating a flower arrangement. Super strong notes of cardamom and lavender. So strong that after my second confirmation sip I never took another one. My wife sipped it and loved it - she said all floral and no coffee. She loved it for all the reasons I didn't. If you like eating your floral arrangements instead of viewing them in a vase on a windowsill, this is the spot for you. read more

Awesome local coffee shop! Latte was so smooth and delicious. We also tried the miso butter toast. It was just amazing; I would love to eat this every morning. Service was friendly and fast.

Recommended by a local! Naysayer can really get a long line on the weekends, so try to go a little early to try their great coffee and pastries! We didn't have much of a wait, I was immediately drawn to this raspberry pastry. I got a cardamom vanilla latte hot, it was soo good, spice forward but not overwhelming. We got this raspberry pastry and almond croissant. Both were very solid, not too sweet. They have great seasonal coffee options, and also non coffee options. They have some seating inside, but if it's busy you gotta take it to go. I was happy with the space, love the plants and design overall. This was a great spot to grab coffee and pastries while visiting Napa. read more

Naysayer is a joylous, sad little coffee shop in Napa. It's the only seemingly craft coffee spot here but don't be fooled. First off, they only have 12oz Cold Brew. It was just ok. My iced Americano was weak as hell and my mom took one sip of her weak capucino and tossed it in the trash. The espresso they use must be awful. Also, the employees are miserable, are not nice and never look up. I was trying to get more ice, but could not get their attention and felt that if I did, they would be bothered by it. Tell me why anyone likes this place? read more

I hate to give such a low review but I've been twice and both times coffee has been so bad! First time ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was probably the worst coffee I've had which made me really sad. Second time I got a seasonal drink and it was very very poor too. Menu is really small and limited read more

Great coffee Friendly efficient staff. Drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. The bagel was delicious and surprising. Normally I order a savory bagel, but this apple and syrup combo was surprisingly refreshing and perfect with a cappuccino. (The Meister $8.5) Small inside seating area for about 15 ppl, a couple of tables outside. Not great for big group unless ordering take away. Not ideal for studying or working. Lots of locals visit but you have your tourist too. Prices reasonable. Overall great small business coffee shop with great coffee. read more

I was looking for some coffee near our hotel on a recent Napa trip and thought I'd check out this cute local coffee shop. I was not disappointed! I had their Gibraltar (similar to a cortado) with oat milk while my hubby had their strawberry fields cold brew (seasonal offering). Both were made well and the strawberry cold brew was slightly sweet and refreshing w the strawberry cold cream. I also had their everything bagel w jalapeño cream cheese and added avocado, which was exactly what I needed for my tummy after a little too much wine the day before haha. Though there was a line we got our order pretty quickly so they were pretty efficient as well which is always appreciated. Definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area. read more

The fig toast with sliced almond was smaller than I expected. I would also say the coffee sizes are extremely small for the price. A little too hipster for me. read more

This coffee shop absolutely deserves a proper review because they are the real deal. This may be my new favorite coffee shop in the country because they convincingly delivered on the cortado. It was silky and smooth all the way to the last sip. It was perfection. Their homemade Miso Caramel Syrup is also incredible in a latte. I don't normally enjoy Carmel syrup but this one was delicious. Beyond the coffee, they offer a couple of unique food options that pair well with their drinks, which is always a plus. The seasonal pair mascarpone toast is my favorite! What really seals the deal for me, though, is their merch. They sell mugs with the city's name on them, which is a rarity. As someone who loves collecting city name mugs while traveling, this was the perfect find. Great coffee, unique flavors, and thoughtful details. This place is a must visit! Don't listen to the Naysayers ;) read more

Came here to study and grab coffe since my coffee machine is being weird I found this place to be a little alright with me . I didn't want a Starbucks or Peet's coffee I wanted to try something different . The inside is cute but small so I didn't get a chance to hang out inside but there is outdoor seating as well (a little cold so I passed). I ordered a Mocha the lady at the front was super inviting. I like how they also have food , and but just like bagels, they was back there baking Avacado toast n stuff lol I don't really know but they had like a bar table with food in it they appeared to be making orders . They were nice and the coffee was ok maybe it was just the chocolate I didn't care too much for but I'm going to go back to try some other things and ask more question about the coffee itself which I feel like I did but I was in study mode and deprived of coffee so I don't really remember but I'll up date ! read more

4/5! Here's why! The staff is ah-may-zing! I've came in here 3x now (first two times they were sold out of matcha) and each and every time I've gotten somebody different and they are all SO SWEET! Customer service is so awesome here and really makes the experience that much better. I've tried their teas which were really good and brewed right then and there - hurray for no yucky tea bags. As for the matcha, high quality stuff! The only downside is they only have one alternative for dairy which is Califia oat milk - first, I have blood sugar regulation issues so Oat milk is a terrible option for that and the Califia oat milk has sunflower oil in it (yucky stuff for humans). Still tried it out just for the one time and it was good, will definitely come back for matcha once they have more dairy alternatives but in the meantime I'll stick to their tea and gf pastries! read more
