Crema's Take

Gillwoods Cafe is a beloved St. Helena gathering spot where leisurely mornings stretch into extended people-watching sessions, whether you're claiming a quiet corner inside or soaking up the street-side energy outside. The kitchen shines with comforting brunch classics—their Huevos Rancheros with red sauce, fluffy French toast, and creative drinks like the Mexican Lollipop are standouts that keep regulars coming back—plus they nail vegetarian options with the same care they give their meat dishes. It's the kind of place where families, wine country visitors, and locals all feel equally at home lingering over coffee and conversation.

First visit to Gillwood cafe, Christmas Eve brunch was delicious! The huevo rancheros with red sauce was incredible. Loved the beautiful Christmas touches around the restaurant!

We stopped by Gillwoods Cafe after visiting a nearby winery. The pesto basil chicken was the standout the pesto and basil flavor was fresh, the chicken was juicy, and the melted cheese made it even better. The A.B.L.T. had a classic, clean taste. I also saw pancakes and French toast at the next table, and they looked amazing, so I’d love to try their brunch menu next time. Parking can be a bit tough, so just keep that in mind.

Highly recommend this place for breakfast in st Helena! Great spot with great food and great service! We got the French toast and the gillwoods scramble. And of course coffee. Everything was too notch. If you’re looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot in Napa valley this is definitely a great option!
