Food is amazing! Friendly owner/chef and a delightful server. Very welcoming! Very locally sourced food, from the neighborhood and nearby farms. The chef is very particular and presents heartfelt food that touches your soul.

The cutest little place for breakfast. The service was very friendly and the food was great. The French pressed coffee and eggs Benedict were my favorite. Would definitely go back. The sweetest staff even gave us a waffle to try out.

Fun vibes and delicious food. I've seen it on a lot of other reviews but the waffles really are delicious.I've had a few other things off the menu and all of them were very tasty. Staff has always been lovely.

I've never left a meal feeling as stressed and ripped off in my life. Very overpriced for the quality and service. The automatic 20% service fee is not acceptable at an order at the counter format place. The person taking our order rambled non-stop about the menu and inserted random asides that made it impossible to think to order. It was confusing, wordy, and stressful. We got the drop biscuit, pork shoulder waffle and croque madame and all items were underwhelming. The waffle was bland with meat sitting in top. The croque madame was very oily and rich. We didn't even finish either dish. We spent $90 and left feeling annoyed, stressed, and ripped off. The kicker is that they boast several "snail awards," which is an award, they themselves invented.

Very disappointing and poorly run. The menu is wildly overpriced and the food was second rate, at best. However, the worst part was the service and host. He was overbearing and rambled incessantly. We could barely understand what he was trying to communicate and harassed us throughout our meal. We were so stressed out that we left mid-meal because we were so eager to get out of there. $90 for two coffees, a waffle, and some eggs. Absurd.

We've been sitting here for 20 mins without coffee, after having waited on line for 10. This is unacceptable ... they need to figure out a better system .. and the music is too loud. Now there is a long line .. we haven't eaten yet. I'll have a second review on that.

Beautiful Sunday morning with daughter and granddaughter--- Pros: 1. Staff (Gentleman and two ladies) were extremely nice and pleasant. 2. Space: Narrow but beautiful space with a rustic farm feel. Tastefully decorated, fresh flowers on each table and at the counter where you order. Just adorable!!! 3. Roaming violin player with speaker. 4. Food is fresh, delicious and a simple menu. 5. Menu is good for all lifestyle desires 6. Clean restroom! 7. Kid/Toddler friendly Cons: 1. We live in Napa and frequently eat in San Francisco and other foodie destinations for better/equal food quality at lower prices. We were surprised to see prices exceed Napa prices and their interesting "tipping practices" 2. Our tab for 2 plates and 1 small juice totalled $68.20. 3. No table service which I understand; however, imagine this: The transaction at counter went like this... Two adult women with a baby come in and the baby is a little sqirmy but well behaved. We approach the counter to be seated to find that we must order then be seated. Ok... Then, add in a roaming violinist who strikes up a conversation with us at the order counter, she begins to serenade us in a tight space with the volume quite high on the speaker attached to her. Note: she was super nice but it didn't work on this venue. Trying to figure this out, can't hear anything, and not seeing a menu, I looked around and saw a sleeping dog lying nearby tucked away beside the violinist's open instrument case and a tip jar. Ok... At some point, a gentleman greets us and sees our confusion. He grabs a "single" printed menu and hands it to me and begins to explain that we can also scan the QR code to see the menu that they only have that one. Ok.... I could barely navigate the situation, much less pull out my phone and scan the code. So I accepted the (only) menu and didn't not offer it back to him so we could ponder it after we got seated at a table. I returned to pay and order at the counter. Americana $21, Another plate $22 and 1 juice $9. Ok.... All in one swift turn of the payment screen and me signing it, I caught a glimpse of the screen and saw what I thought was a tip charge filled in and I thought it was odd that it was automatic. Ok... In that same nano second, I heard her say $68.20 and thought, "...that can't be right,..I'll check the receipt" Ok.... More chit chat from the violinist, new customers behind me.... I looked for the receipt thinking she handed to me when I looked away but none.... She was off to another customer.... Food was wonderful when it finally came (granted, this not a fast food restaurant but it did take about 20 minutes). During the meal, we could not have a conversation at all with the violin so loud and the seranading back and forth and the stopping to ask us questions. All this to say, please assess the need to have musicians in this tight venue.. Especially the volume and the need to stop so much in front of customers. Have printed menus or a board if people access their phones while standing at a tight counter area. QR codes work if the customer is sitting at a table. So, seat folks first. Give ALL customers their receipts or at a minimum, offer it to ALL customers and if they decline it, toss it. If you don't, it appears this could be an under-handed practice especially when the mistake is so dramatic..... $22 overcharge. Last, like your on-line store does, allow the customer to choose the gratuity. It's bad enough that we must pay the gratuity before the service, but not to give us a choice borders, if not, is actuallly unethical business practices.

Food limited but good, service ok but when you pay upfront and you order they charge over 15% of tip included. Dont mind tipping but atleast earn it first lol. For that reason 3stars.

I honestly don’t know where to begin. The atmosphere, the food , the Chef… It’s all pretty dam phenomena. Seriously every bite is out of this world! It leaves you drooling and wanting to try everything you see . The atmosphere makes me feel at home . The food dances in my mouth with flavor. It’s always a pleasure and a blessing to be fed at the hand of a Master Chef!!!

The Naked Pig...that's what he said, I thought...what the hell is that? It's a Cafe, the best in town he said.Well, all I gotta do is drop off a Pinker's Crossarm for Peter Clamsticky's Pounder Shaft out at his bunker on Stony Point, and I'm all there! I got the Chicken Salad sandwich and it was Great! ☆☆☆☆☆
