Bougie and fresh bakery in the middle of Napa! Saw this place recommended by a food/travel account on IG and saved it for our upcoming trip. It was an easy drive from downtown Napa. They seem to be popular for their fancy corn dog, but since it was early-ish in the day we didn't want anything too savory, so we opted for the hashbrowns and a croissant. Ordered online a bit before we arrived, which was timed perfectly - once we arrived, they had our order ready for us. We also picked up some other things that looked tasty - the orange looking pastry was so cute (I forgot the name) and was also delicious. Overall, loved the vibes and freshness of the space. The food is clearly made with love and care, and the menu is creative to keep you wanting more.

Selection of pastries
Jonathan Z.

Loved their lobster corn dog, similar to the flavor of lobster balls from hot pot, with a corn dog crust, topped with caviar and a sort of crema. Def a nice little snack and piping hot. Also loved their honey comb latte with the crisp honeycomb that melts into the drink. Cannele was crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and had the signature burnt caramel and rum flavor I love. We also got a cold brew but def the most basic of the selections. Lots of great cafe selections to choose from and all done up so well. Would def pay them another visit before we leave Napa if up in this area. Right next to Press and tucked to the left when facing the building. Great service, yummy bites, and perfect for those who love cafe culture.

Pan Au Chocolat...looks sexy, but texturally, I  prefer the traditional pain au Chocolat shape

Look no further if you're seeking the BEST BUTTER CROISSANT in all of Wine Countrdy. R In fact, it's one of the best spots in town to grab breakfast/brunch, a glass of wine, and or to pick up quality ingredients for a picnic, or even dinner. We came early in the morning and ordered coffee and a few bites for breakfast. PRO TIP: go to the outdoor patio next door at Press and enjoy your food there! Chicken and Waffles were fire and all the vienoisserie we ordered. Went to Moulin in Napa the next day and wasn't impressed.

Sandwich

Worth the drive from Napa! Lobster corn dog with caviar, pain Susisse, everything knot, butter, pluma baguette, all for two people! Love how they will tell you about all of the pastry!

Pig Ears
Johanna B.

Congratulations Under-Study. You have knocked it out of the park and have inspired me to live life differently. The place is bustling with workers who seem to know what they are doing and they care about their productions. The location is beautiful. I'm trying to figure out how I can upgrade my kitchen with these colors. Tiffany blue, pink and yellow complement each other so well. The food has impressed me to the core. I love being inspired to learn new skills so I can copy recipes. We had the pig ears (phenomenal), butternut squash soup (life changing) and the Siciliano sandwich (incredible). The food is outstanding! For drinks, I had an unsweetened matcha. It was probably the best matcha I've ever had. My husband had espresso. It was at least as good as the espresso we had in Italy. Well done, Under-Study. I'm proclaiming myself as your biggest fan!

Inside
Grace J.

Stopped in here for some bakery items and got the pain au chocolate, persimmon bread, mandarin mousse, sour cream and onion cream cheese pastry and seasonal fruit tart. I really savored the sour cream and onion cream cheese pastry and the chilled mandarin mousse. All the flaky pastries were on the crispy/firm/crunchy side. I would give the heavier food a shot next time as I saw some unique variations of classic meals - caviar corn dog and chicken and waffles. Staff were kind, and it's a lovely cafe to spend time in. There's some seating inside as well as a nice patio area with a water fountain.

Breakfast sandwich
Sandy A.

Cute little bougie cafe jugs outside of St. Helena. It's owned by the same people as The Press. I love the simple menu that has something for everyone. As a goodie, also love watching how they prepare everything. Highly enjoyed the everything knot pastry and the trout rillet. BF enjoyed his breakfast sandwich orange juice was fresh and bright. Wanted a second glass but they ran out. Definitely a great place to catch a bite. Downside is severe lack of seating.

Desserts and food like art. Love the food displays which make decisions visually easy. We enjoyed the Calistoga Crunch & Pain Chocolate. Coffee drip had nice smooth taste. Beans roasted locally.

Pretty underwhelming for the hype, value, and taste. Maybe if it wasn't so hyped up I wouldn't be as underwhelmed. The displays are quite pretty, but it is packed and there isn't a ton of space inside. There is patio seating in the back apparently, but I didn't venture back there. When I went on a Saturday, it was packed with people taking photos of everything. I got a few pastries to try and the portions are small for the price in my opinion. I tried the double chocolate cookie ($5), lemon pound cake, chocolate croissant (which is presented as a stick) and iced coffees. Overall, I thought it was all just okay. Ice coffees were watery and not that flavorful. Pastries tasted okay, but nothing to write home about. Wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. The cookie was the worst (texture wasn't great, tasted stale), lemon pound cake was standard, and the chocolate croissant was unique in presentation but not taste. They also have savory snacks like lobster caviar hot dogs, a 'deli' with freshly cut meats, etc. I really wanted to try the lobster caviar hot dog but I saw the table next to me get one and it was tiny for $32. Probably wouldn't go back again anytime soon.

Chicken waffle
Richard H.

Located next to the wine museum. This is an upscale cafe, featuring espresso drinks, gourmet bakery products, savory entrees. Amazing breakfast options: lobster omelette, be sure to try their chicken waffle! Spicy chicken breast over a sweet, thin waffle. The kitchen looks like a Michelin rated restaurant!

Iced honeycomb latte
Jessica Y.

Stopped by for a coffee break on a rainy weekday afternoon, this cafe is absolutely adorable and it has a very artsy and chic vibe to it. The iced honeycomb latte and love potion (white mocha with raspberry flavor) were absolutely fantastic. The staff very kindly offered the option to bring down the sweetness a notch which I recommend if you don't want the drink to be too sweet. I thought the honeycomb latte was one of the best tasting coffee drinks I've had recently (I did not adjust the sweetness), the crunchy caramelized honeycomb bits added such a fun and delicious touch! The love potion was packed with raspberry flavor which perfectly complemented the creamy white chocolate and it was perfect with the sweetness toned down just a bit. Can't wait to come back to try their baked goods/food next time!

Christina C.

I was really excited to try their lobster corndog and was disappointed. It did not taste good. I've had a better lobster corndog in Walnut Creek. I really liked their avocado toast. The everything knot was good but was kind of hard. Most of the pastries didn't really taste fresh. The cookie was good though. Service was good.

The place
Marios D.

Exceptional experience First visit. Went there with my best friend. Who loved the place. Had some coffee, a baguette and some pastries. Great attentive and friendly service with knowledgeable hosts Small place. Really can use some seating to allow us to hang out and enjoy the food and drinks. Some high chairs on the tables inside might also help. I will be back frequently when I am here. I highly recommend this place.

Forum At Meadowood

(75 reviews)

Date of Visit: 3/28/2026…read more We visited The Forum at Meadowood Napa Valley for afternoon late lunch. Between the hours of 3 to 6pm, there was a Golden Hour menu that offers light foods, including vegetable tempura, burgers, poke etc. There are some selection of cocktails and wine with a discounted price. Schramsberg, Brut Rosé, North Coast 2021 $21 Husband got the Brut Rosé that was bubbly and refreshing. Rivers-Marie, Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 2023 $20 I got the Chardonnay with the taste of zesty lemon and candied lemon peel. Walter Hansel "Cahill Lane," Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2022 $20 And we ordered the third glass of Pinot Noir to pair with foods. This tastes like a traditional Pinot Noir of California with the mushroom earthy smell and the shoe box aroma. Spring Vegetable Tempura $22 I ordered the spring vegetable tempuras made from Meadowood Farm vegetables, including asparagus, leek etc. On the side there were a bowl of English pea pesto. Forum Burger $23 Husband got the burger with medium grilled Akaushi beef, onion-bacon jam, cheddar cheese, secret sauce, brioche bun, and also French fries on the side.

*Would only go back for wine & outdoor lounge space... not for the food…read more Pros: Wine selection was great! Ambiance was wonderful! Service was good, albeit slower. Outdoor space looks amazing & is pup-friendly. Cons: If you're hungry, eat before you go. Bring snacks for in-between courses. You might have to stop off to grab food on the way home. Thankful they kept bringing the yummy bread! Lacked course timing, underseasoned, pricey. $550 later, yet we left underwhelmed & unfulfilled. Our meal took over 3.5 hours... (details below)... there's a fine line between building anticipation/ "hunger sauce" & causing anxiety/ frustration. **Napa Restaurant Month** If you wanted a steak (ie. the "NY strip" offered as part of their limited-time prix fixe menu), this is probably not what you're looking for. Gray, gray, gray... no matter your temp preference, medium? Gray... Medium rare? Gray... Rare? Gray. Perhaps the sous vide method with added grill marks, but they should tell customers that since most folks are expecting a steak-like steak. Oh, and it's actually just 3 slices OF A steak (questionable if truly NY cut), barely room temperature, but tasted okay (needed a dash of seasoning). Our meal took 3.5 hours... mostly because the kitchen "timed" the courses 30+ minutes apart. Maybe they were going for dramatic effect, but there's a fine line between "hunger sauce" & frustration. None of the courses were so complicated to justify the wait AND the place was nearly empty. Our wine pairings were poured 10-15 minutes before each course, so we sat there trying not to drink the wine because we wanted to taste it WITH our food. We had a nice time with friends, but the timing was a bit strange. The food: Course 1 - Hamachi was really good! 3 slices with jalapeño crema, radish, cilantro, lime vinaigrette. Course 2 - Chicken tortilla soup. 4 spoonfuls of luke warm tomato soup poured over a few cubed morsels. This had the flavor of spaghettiOs. When I said it out loud to our table, everyone laughed & agreed... it was the taste they were all trying to peg. Course 3 - NY strip. 3 slices of almost-warm, gray meat with 3 potato slices, 2 carrot halves, sautéed Swiss chard, chimichurri. Veggies were tasty. Course 4 - (they ran out) so we got something from their regular menu. The sesame citrus gâteau was not my favorite. The cheesecake was so bitter, I took 2 bites & could not eat anymore. We also ordered for the table: -- Elotes (not very good, still on the cob,not worth the effort); -- Brussels sprouts (fresh, but undercooked & underseasoned); -- Mushrooms (naturally flavorful, but unseasoned); -- Their complimentary bread plate & olive oil was Yum!!

Oh My Goodness!! We were walking around exploring when we looked across the street!…read more After crossing the street, we stood in line impatiently awaiting to spoil ourselves with pastries and coffee. We ordered the Oatmeal Everything Cookies. Oooooh so delicious!! Crispy edges and soft and chewy middle. It consists of oats, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, coconut, cherries, and raisins. It was so good, I had to ask about the ingredients!! We also had their seasonal pumpkin spice cake with burnt butter cream frosting! It was so moist and delicious! The Cardamom Vanilla Latte was also good. After our snack, we went back in line and ordered a dozen to-go pastries to take home!!! Station is a gas station! So, it's a gas station with gourmet treats! Not your typical gas station foodies!! They offer pastries, sandwiches, salads, pizza, and a nice coffee drink choices. They also sell souvenirs as well. I am sure I am missing something. Overall, a great experience!! The young ladies working were both energetic and friendly!! They were very helpful and patient while we were picking out our to go treats. We are looking forward to our next trip.....

On our drive back from Calistoga to Berkeley, my bestie and I needed a quick snack, and this stop in St. Helena was perfectly timed. She's been here plenty of times; it was my first visit. I went the smoothie route (solid, refreshing, did the job), but I couldn't help noticing that most people were walking out with pizza. That seemed to be the move. The place had a steady flow of locals and road-trippers, which is always a good sign when you're pulling off the highway. It was quick, easy, and exactly what we needed in the moment. Will I be back? Probably not, but this might be perfect for you.

While working in St. Helena, I could never find an opening in a reservation, so here was a great opportunity now that all of us are retired. Our friends live in Clear Lake while we live in Vallejo, so this is a central place to meet. It was the best decision I made because every year for the past several anniversaries, we've gone to Cache Creek to C2. Their food and service is excellent because my husband enjoys poker, but I thought a change of scenery would be nice. And it was! Firstly, it was very kind of the staff to present us with a greeting card signed by everyone -- how sweet and thoughtful! We will cherish that! Secondly, we were very impressed with how the food/wine was locally sourced. It was incredible to hear the story about Custom, the Bull, and taste the difference between the Highland beef compared to Angus. Our waitress was "Erica S." She was engaging, personable, and very informative. My husband and I would definitely like to return to return to experience the dinner menu! We and our guests had the following dishes: Artichoke appetizer Arbororio Biscuits & Gravy Two Cheeseburgers Three Bloody Mary's Farmstead Margarita When they found out it was our anniversary celebration, the house sent over four glasses of complimentary champagne and a dish of dessert -- again, very sweet and kind of them I now understand why so many crowds flock to this restaurant! It's well worth the wait! If you have not experienced a meal there, you must definitely go now!
