In my opinion, the spinach bolani with the mint cream cheese/jalapeno jelly/pesto sauce combo is by far the best. Also, the jalapeno jelly makes a good BBQ/dipping sauce for ribs and pork chops. The booth is sometimes 'manned' by young adults who are not always professional, but they ARE pretty liberal with the free samples. All in all a pleasant surprise and nice addition to the standard fruit/vegetable mix at the farmer's market.

I started buying Rancho Gordo beans online and they were the best beans I've ever had. Beans I have never seen or heard of before. A whole new world was discovered. Their website is beautiful to look at and informative. I also bought their bean cookbook. I subscribed to their emails and recently got the important news that their new store opened on Main Street and only a few blocks away from the Napa farmer's market. The store is very modern with wood floors, large windows and lots of light. They don't carry all the beans online but they do carry a good amount. I got some special black beans (Frigik Negro de Vara), very pretty green split peas and a new rare variety that goes bad fast (Flor De Junio bean) and a special fresh tumeric spice (see photos). I'm excited to try the new items. It is nice that they have dried Porcini mushrooms and morel mushrooms you can use in their bean soup. The porcini mushrooms are the brand that Rancho Gordo recommends and you can get 1.43 Oz for $19. They have interesting high quality spices and I bought a tumeric. They had samples of cooked beans. The ladies were friendly at the counter. I'm definitely returning to get more products!

If you cant make it to the shop then check out their web store front www.ranchogordo.com. As for the store front I really liked the way they have the shop decorated and how they have their products on display. When i was there they had some really nice mellow latin music playing and were selling fresh tortillas so the shop smelt really good. While the selection can be a bit intimidating they have people that can answer your questions while you look. For example i explained the beans and lentils i liked and they were able to recommend the Heirloom equivalent. Also they have recipes for many the different beans & lentils as well. Overall was a very fun trip to visit the store front and cant wait to go back the next time im in Napa.

My son ordered a smoothie. While he was waiting, I went to LoveSki to place my order. After getting…read moremy order, I went back over to Hudson's assuming his smoothie would be in-hand. I was very surprised that he was still waiting. Turns out, his smoothie was sitting right there on the counter for who knows how long. He was the only one waiting (no other customers at the time). You'd think the person making the smoothie would have said something or let him know that his smoothie was ready. For a 16-ounce smoothie at $12.50, I was disappointed at the lack of communication and customer service. I felt bad for my son, too. He did enjoy the smoothie, at least -- he said it tasted good, though it wasn't the best smoothie he's ever had. At that price point, I would have expected way better on taste, and also service. We will not be a repeat customer.

OMFG! I remember…read moreDouble Rainbow from when I first moved to the Bay Area in my 20s and it instantly became my favorite ice cream. The flavor I remember is called Its A Goodie -- french vanilla with peanut butter and fudge chips. Yup, still awesome! Ok sweeter than my adult palette likes now but hella nostalgic. I paired it with coconut. Not a flavor I remember from back in the day but also an excellent taste. Again, adult me would like a little less sugar and perhaps the crunchiness of the coconut but I'm being picky. Mississippi mud pie seemed like something to try and I'm glad I asked for a taste. Coffee ice cream with a fudge swirl and crushed cookies. Both workers seemed happy and offered lots of suggestions. There's one table inside and a few more outside. They also have some tourist items like tshirts. When I got home, I researched Double Rainbow. There are a few stores left and you can order online (min 8 pints). Just ignore the saturated fat...

To start off, the line situation just isn't ideal, so it would be nice if they put up a rope to help cordon off the line from the payment area, but the service itself was very helpful and friendly and the ice cream barista was able to make the perfect shaved ice for me when I asked for light root beer syrup. My shaved ice was absolutely delicious and I loved their flavor options so I would definitely come back next time we're in Sonoma.
