They were kid (and dog) friendly, served good food, ,and had a friendly staff. Would definitely go again. (And if you're curious I got the stuffed French Toast that was smothered in blueberries!)

The service was on point this time--very prompt and attentive, unlike my previous visit. I ordered the pork chop, and it was cooked perfectly. The meat had a great bite to it and wasn't dry at all. The portion size was still huge and no fly issue this time (visited in May).

Went there for a late dinner…read more Still light outside and it was nice to have a view of the busy restaurant and back and side gardens. Good service and knowledgeable staff. Sishito peppers were the started with the beet salad. Both were super fresh. Beets were cooked perfectly and generous dressing was applied! Peppers were not hot but were blistered nicely and dipping sauce was perfect for balance with acidity. We shared the special meat platter. It was ok.... Pulled pork was tough. Not a good choice in future as it is on the lunch menu Ribs were great. 3 ribs were cooked and seasoned well. Nice acidity so The sauce was not too sweet. Slaw was great and provided balance Mac and cheese was made with white cheese and while rich it was not overwhelming Chicken wings were a hit. Cooked perfectly and seasoned with a bbq sauce that was well balanced. A hit for next time.

We were dining in the area and I was looking for a baguette to go along with some charcuterie we picked up earlier in the area. We had just eaten so this particular visit was really to come in and get some bread (although I really want to come back to try their pastries and other wonderful looking creations). The service is friendly and they try to help you as soon as you are ready to order. It was also later in the day so it seemed like the options, at least on display, were limited. But I didn't take too much time looking because we already knew what we wanted. There is also a variety of coffee or caffeinated as well as refreshing beverages available to order and it looks like they have a beer/ wine license here in case you wanted to dine in. Just a really great place that left a great impression and I will definitely be hitting this place up the next time I'm in the area.

Had their almond and plain croissant. Both were okay, nothing special. I honestly wish their…read morecroissants were more fluffy and airy, it's more dense. The almond croissant has a sweet taste a bit and it's because there's a bit of orange mixed in with the topping. The staff was polite although they gave my friend the incorrect item and later found out the correct item was given to another person by mistake - mislabeling the displays. This was during the last hour on a Sunday. I wouldn't return, I can find better pastries elsewhere.

There's a cool skatepark behind it as well. The owners were so friendly and humorous as well. I went on a Sunday morning and it wasn't incredibly busy around 11:30am. Enjoyed my hot vanilla latte in a coffee mug which are all different designs. I had the barekas. The babka roll was not very fresh so that was my only negative. I'll definitely go back.

I mean this as such a compliment but I've always wondered what happened to that hippie culture that…read morewas created in SF and seems to have been long forgotten in the city. You will find that amazing vibe in this area and Lightwave Coffee exemplifies a movement that was so much about optimism and love. Interior and exterior are amazing with much of the decoration being made from found objects. I loved all the old electronic and mechanical devices inside and loved the mishmash cups and plates that made it feel like you were eating in a friends kitchen. The food and coffee we got were abnormally high quality and we recommend the cookies and the basil ice lemonade. So good after a long day outdoors. Right next to it is a community farm that felt so welcoming and chill. Volunteers were weeding and cleaning on the weekend and it reminded me the very best of the game Stardew Valley. Right next to it is a concrete skatepark and a guy was shredding it when we went. So worth a stop for all these bonus quests! They also had a "pay what you want" little section of potted plants you can take away such as chilis, tomatoes, etc...

This would have easily been $60 in San Francisco, The latte art was a perfect heart and I can taste a perfectly pulled espresso shot. The nitro cold brew was fine with enough foam. I have a slightly different coffee taste palette so I won't deduct points based on my coffee note preference. The location is good with ample street parking and what looks to be a customer parking lot (I haven't confirmed). Fabrice did a nice job in selecting a historic Vallejo spot and bringing in French vibes. The coffee bar wall and mirror definitely looks like an original 1900's piece. The wood tables inside and the bistro chairs outside keep the modern cafe feel with a Parisian vibe. I'll definitely come back. Thank you Fabrice for being a long time Vallejo merchant and reviving downtown Vallejo with your cafe!

Sadly, All the workers were unfriendly and appeared miserable. No one was welcoming or smiling. I was taken aback when a coffee house ran out of brown sugar. Our Breakfast for 2 was $60. The waffles and pancakes were dense and undercooked, the pancakes had a bad taste to them a slight fishy taste, we had one bite and left the rest. The atmosphere has become untidy, cluttered, Christmas trees out in June, and the outside patio was not clean. I had high hopes for this neighborhood small business, but unfortunately will not patron them again.

It has mostly new books and some great quality used books. To the left of the cafe is a huge children's section that includes a great Spanish selection. My kid & I sat down on the cozy rug and chair to read and picked our favorites to buy. We were never rushed out which I appreciated. My husband found several books and they had a great selection of gifts and unique finds. The staff were super friendly and I saw one helping a young adult find a book. They have a gender neutral restroom in the kids section. There are some small tables and a few chairs inside and outside. I look forward to coming back next time I am in Napa!

The service was friendly and helpful and we loved that they carry simit. I also can't speak highly enough about their gorgeous outside garden area and how lovely it was to sit and enjoy our snacks there. All in all Brickmaiden Breads is an absolutely must-try if you're in the area and I can't recommend them enough!

Such an adorable and delicious spot…read more Found parking on a Saturday in early May around noon like 50 yards away. They are busy and had a short line, I spent maybe 10m total waiting to order then waiting for my food to come out. I spent $41.48 on: Toast with (I think goat?) cheese, honey, seeds & flowers - 4.5 stars Rye-chata latte - 4.5 stars Olive oil cake - 4 stars Cinnamon roll - 4.5 stars. Tasty cream & flowers on top. Croissant - 4 stars (for my daughter) Note there's no restroom but a pretty nice public town one a couple blocks away. There's a beautiful garden with several private little seating nooks. I chose a spot under a trellis that had an artsy looking homemade water fountain coming down from a small water tower. Very idyllic to sit here and sip your delicious coffee and have your tastypastry.
