The Bakery Café by Ghirardelli
2555 Main St, St. Helena, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside what feels like a charming gift shop, this café is run by culinary students who bring genuine care to both their coffee and pastries, with housemade bread and desserts that earn genuine praise. The rotating daily menu keeps things fresh and unpredictable, though expect an intimate, limited selection rather than extensive options—perfect for a leisurely sit-down if you're in the Napa Valley wine country and want something more thoughtful than typical café fare.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

They dont close until 3. We arrived at 2:45 and they would not make us a coffee because they were already closing down. You should not say you are open if you cannot serve your customers.
The food was good, limited menu, they have a set menu dont have breakfast options, just pastries, sandwiches, soup and bread.The bread and dessert were amazing!
