Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. The woman at the counter was cold and barely spoke, and I couldn't shake the feeling that she was silently judging my order. Not exactly the welcoming energy you'd hope for. The woman working in the back, however, was a bright spot. She kept a warm smile throughout and moved through her tasks with care. As for the drink itself, it was genuinely good, a solid 3.5 out of 5. Would I go back? Only if the group I was with wanted to stop in. Accidentally deleted my pictures

They have tables and chairs set up so you can sit and enjoy your food. They also have a mini farmers market set up that is located on the right side of the building. Everything appeared to be fresh. Once I approached the counter, I could feel the lady's energy wasn't going to be excellent. She wasn't warm and welcoming in taking my order. I ordered a vanilla latte with carmel and she said to me "you know that is going to be very sweet!" which came off a little condescending, like I didn't know what I was ordering. The latte itself was a solid 3/5. I left feeling a little disappointed because the service didn't match the charm of this cute little Yountville spot, which is really unfortunate.

You might get lucky in the parking lot, but I'd suggest street parking. If you're looking for some food items, they do have artisan bread, produce, honey, and smoothies. CBD, botanicals and craft items were also featured. On our visit there were no made to order or cooked fresh items offered here, for that, you'll have to go into the deli. No covered dining area and not much in the way of shade. If you're in Yountville, it's worth stopping by. Some informative photos included.

It looks…read morelike a small community garden but get closer and you can see how well maintained and neat all the vegetables are, even the chickens and roosters look regal and clean. I enjoyed coming here and checking it out because of the transparency, they take the common and plain looking red cabbage or arugula you see at your feet and transform it into something "consistently superior", "soul-satisfying", etc... Come early and you may spot Chef Thomas Keller walking the garden and later in the evening you might even spot a maskless governor and well-dressed diners getting their shoes muddy. The smell of oak smoke permeates the air pleasantly, they are using it for one of their dishes and you can see the acorns and oak trees in the garden. 4.5 stars, greenhouse is worth peaking into as well. Parking is free on street and residential neighborhoods on the left. Garden is open 24/7, totally public.

The shop is small inside, but there's seating in the back. We got a dozen assorted macarons for $40, and each flavor was so good. We were a little impatient and didn't wait for some of them to fully soften up before diving in, but they were still great. Macaron Flavors We Tried (all 5/5): - Watermelon Tajín - Curry Coconut (kids least favorite but I enjoyed it) - Elote - Blueberry Cheesecake - Lavender - Salted Caramel - Passionfruit - Cookie Butter I also tried their Tiramisu Cold Brew, which I really enjoyed. I can't wait to come back and try more of their macaron flavors!

Although the macarons were delicious, the customer service was far from it. We came maybe 30 minutes before closing, and she was probably irritated that more people came, because it really showed, in her face expression, the tone of her voice, and body language. Who would want that kind of service?? And should we want to return, and be treated like we were an inconvenience. We never felt so unwelcomed. This isn't just my opinion, my whole family felt the same way. It's just so sad because good products was ruined by such terrible customer service. Wouldn't recommend people to come here, specially at the end of the day. You'll just be disappointed by the girl who clearly doesn't want to help you.

My absolute favorite is the Dang Dazy milk chocolate--its velvety texture paired with crunchy almond and hazelnut bits creates the perfect balance. The Earl Grey dark chocolate was also incredibly good. While the richness of the dark chocolate leans slightly dominant, you can still catch those subtle, fragrant notes of Earl Grey in each bite. At around $3 per bonbon, it's definitely on the pricier side--but considering the quality, creativity, and variety of flavors, I think it's completely justified. It's especially heartbreaking to share that this is widely considered one of the best artisan chocolate shops in California, and they're now closing their only store in Yountville due to slow business and rising costs. Losing a place like this feels like losing a true gem. If you're anywhere near Yountville, make the trip and show them some love while you still can.

There was no one in the store when we visited, and no one behind us waiting so we took our time choosing. The lady working behind the counter seemed slightly exasperated with us. Regardless, we ended up picking a 9 piece box, which was $27. The subsequent times we visited, it was a different employee, who was more friendly so your experience may vary. Regardless, pretty good chocolate overall, albeit pricey, but the store feels kind of cold and sterile.

Lena Kwak and Thomas Keller of French Laundry fame have created a mixture that replaces your normal flour. If you go to TFL and have their salmon cones, or glutten free bread, you'll see this formula in action right in their Michelin 3 star restaurant. Lena is part of the pastry team at TFL (also working with Tim Hollingsworth), doing the nutritional and food research for the fact that the bread service at TFL was missing for those with gluten issues. This also is being developed with Keller's Bouchon Bakery, so you'll be seeing the stuff there too.
