The Floodgate Store
1810 CA-128, Boonville, CA
Crema's Take
“The Floodgate is a genuine community gathering spot where the owner's warmth and hospitality set the tone for everything you'll experience, from made-in-house breakfasts to excellent espresso drinks and standout panini sandwiches. This isn't a coffee shop that happens to serve food—it's a full breakfast and lunch destination where the coffee earns its place on the menu alongside genuinely excellent kitchen output. If you're passing through Boonville, the spotless, historic setting and genuine care poured into both service and cooking make it absolutely worth a detour.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.
