Sam's General Store Cafe - CALISTOGA

I visited a beautifully restored 19th-century cottage with a small store where you can order sandwiches and salads. Unfortunately, they were out of the salad my wife wanted, but the staff kindly offered to make one for us while we waited. Most places would have just said they were out, so we appreciated the extra effort.

This is the best coffee I have ever had! My daughter agrees. I have traveled to Italy, and their espresso does not disappoint. The atmosphere indoors and outdoors is beautiful.

I try to get to Calistoga twice a month to hike, afterwards I come here to get a half guacamole half cream cheese everything bagel and a cup of coffee!!! I love this place (a little on the expensive side, but what isn?t in Napa Valley). My 4 ???s reflect the fact that, often the person taking your order is the person delivering your order, making for a bit of a wait at the POS. I suggest getting one more body to help out, but other than that, I highly recommend Sam?s General!

Adorable lunch spot! Other lunch spots around had long waits but Sam's is off the main road and was super quiet. We really enjoyed the sandwiches, the bread was delicious. There's a full general store with snacks, coffee, drinks and wine. They have very cute and quaint outdoor seating (even have fire pits! and really nice historic architecture. Would highly recommend

Do not be fooled by the inconspicuous name, this place is a must if you are stopping in the Calistoga area. The atmosphere is stellar. I loved the home-y cozy B 'n B vibe from the place. Its super peaceful and slightly out of the downtown bustle. Perfect for bringing a book and letting it take you away for a bit. The coffee and baked goods were excellent, but what I was really impressed by were their overnight oats. They were delicious. Those paired with some iced coffee and a croissant were just what I needed after a day driving the canyons. I will be stopping here again the next time I am in the area. Thank you Aaron!
