Cool little shop, surprised that Napa had good coffee. Drip coffee was tasty, clean and we'll balanced ?

Great coffee and food! Super cute inside and has a great vibe. We always had a seat, but it fills up quickly, even on weekdays.

My favorite coffee place in Napa. The baristas are so friendly and remember you when you come in, and the food and drinks are great. Try the seasonal orange mocha before it goes!

If you want excellent coffee, this is the place, most coffee shops around the area, specially Starbucks and Peets have people that dont know how to handle coffee, and dont really care about quality so usually serve burnt coffee. Naysayer are coffee geeks that pay attention to every detail, not only the coffee, but the snacks as well. Also they are super creative, their menu is not only the boring drip, filter, latte, espresso menu.

Great coffee and nice service. We like this little coffee spot near downtown Napa. My husband and I meet here once or twice a month and I love that they serve toast and jam for breakfast. Note - not a lot of seating.

Cute little coffee shop. Coffee was amazing. I got the iced cappuccino with oat milk for $5 plus $1 tip. Very good! It was light, smooth and mellow. Not bitter like what is expected from the chain coffee shops I'm used to.

A solid specialty coffee place in Napa. Even their drips are high quality -- type of complex blends with acidity and nuttiness you can enjoy even when the temperature of the drink goes lower. Some very interesting selections for pour overs, too. Not far from the heart of downtown, and it's easy to park, too. It has become one of our go-to places when visiting the Napa area.

Visited here from out of town. Latte art in previous reviews made this place extra appealing. The customer service was wonderful and food/beverage came out super quick. I didn't like the flavor of my mocha but my husband loved his vanilla cardamom latte. Latte art wasn't good but that's ok. I took a star away because we bought two bakery items and because the cafe did not have a microwave we could not have our items heated. My avocado toast was delicious and would recommend time and time again.

21 Dec 2023 I was taking a different route back to Sonoma and noticed a beautiful streamline modern style building that said Food City on the side. It held my attention, and then I saw Naysayer Coffee Roasters and pulled a hard left. This place is on point. It's a bit small with two two-tops and a counter at the window for four, but it's well designed inside to make use of the limited light coming from north-facing windows on even the shortest day of the year. By the numbers: Coffee 5/5 Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Value 4/5 Espresso - Excellent. Medium roast with sparkling water and a bonus Tcho chocolate. Almond croissant - Excellent. Both decadent and reasonably sized in the age of three serving mega-croissants.
Best coffee in Napa. And excellent pastries and good baristas as well. So good to see this in Napa.

I came to Naysayer after a long day. I'd been up since early in the morning and had a long drive back home. I didn't realize I had walked in about 5 minutes after closing (which is a cardinal sin and something I would never endorse). Instead of politely telling me they were closed (which I would have respected 100%), they took my order and were incredibly friendly. Once I realized what was happening I apologized profusely and tipped them accordingly. Napa is so lucky to have a craft coffee house that has amazing service and elite coffee.

Had a great experience. Small shop but quality is top knotch. Very family feel yet still maintains a high quality product. My wife got a cappuccino and the milk foam was mixed very well. I got the daydream espresso and it was delicious, orangey and floral notes; a really well done shot of espresso. Even as I just looking at the retail beans, the barista recommended me options based on how much I enjoyed the daydream espresso. We're visiting from socal but i could confidently say i would frequent here if i was local. 10/10 recommend

As a coffee snob - I really Wanted to LIKE this place and their Food City shopping center location however; their baked goods are limited and so so. Their coffee is expensive and I find it has a Very BITTER aftertaste... I've no had it several times at the Napa farmers market and in store. Same - unpleasant very bitter aftertaste! Wondering if it's their roasting method.
