Crema's Take
“Nestled in downtown Napa, this charming café earns devoted fans for its expertly crafted pastries, especially the Instagram-worthy ube croissant that delivers both visual beauty and delicate, lightly sweet flavor alongside classics like buttery croissants that stay impressively fresh even days later. Whether you're ducking in for a quick coffee fix or settling in for a leisurely morning, the welcoming over-the-counter service and inviting atmosphere make it equally suited to both grab-and-go energy and lingering conversations with friends.”

This coffee and pastries place is located in the heart of downtown Napa, California. This is an incredible place to grab or order coffee and unique pastries. Stop by or order online and enjoy good coffee.
Came here specifically for the ube crossiant after seeing recommendations on social media. Service was over the counter and pleasant. The presentation of the crossiant itself was amazing, but first bite told a whole different story. Perhaps just my luck, but it tasted stale and hard (almost scone-ish) Will not be returning.
Stopped by for a quick refreshment and really enjoyed it. I had a classic butter croissant and an ube croissant, both flaky and well made, with the ube filling adding a nice, lightly sweet flavor. Paired them with an Americano, which was smooth and balanced. A great stop for perfect refreshment while exploring Napa Valley.
This is really a 4.5 stars. Pastries were so delicious. We bought 4 different pastries and each one was so rich, decadent, and large... even tasty the next day. Clerk was friendly. Not personable but friendly. Most disappointed with the coffees. I ordered the lavender latte and was really hoping for something pretty and at least tasty. It was flavorless and tasted like milky coffee. I realized the lavender syrup was at the bottom and stirred it up...the syrup had a really bad after taste. Husband ordered the pumpkin spice latte and he said it didn't taste pumpkiny (Yessss, that's a word lol) at all. Really wanted to try the macaroons but at $3 each... they were a bit pricey for such a small treat. Pictures are of the croissant, rolled croissant and blue danish...we also got the bread pudding. Would definitely go back for the pastries and skip the coffee.
Honestly we were very disappointed in the bakery. We came excited to try French style croissants and it’s not just it wasn’t French style at all, but also the bread was stale and tasted as if it was a week old =( The cashier was nice and provided some recommendations and her favourite items. When I came to a her to tell that we didn’t like the bread and it tasted as a week old croissant, she just said “yeah….” 😅 So it looks good but tastes horrible
