I love mustard!
Elisa G.

This is the cutest story I've been to all year! I love it, so many different products to look at and buy! They even have a wine suitcase. Very cute cards and honey and body wash so many different things to choose from! They have snacks too! There's a restaurant inside as well I highly recommend. Drew so cool and she said it's the stores 23rd anniversary.

To sum it up, no thank you, I won't be coming back. We came on a Friday at about 10:30am and sat inside. While we were given menus, we were then ignored for the better part of 15 minutes. Once we did order, the food came out relatively fast. We each got one of the combos. My boyfriend got the one with pancakes, and didn't like his scrambled eggs, but said the pancakes were fine. I got the combo with the French toast. I'll start with the good, in that the eggs were poached perfectly. The potatoes were fine, though they needed actual seasoning. And now for the bad: this was some of the worst French toast I've ever had. Overall, I'll give it points for eggs that are poached well, but I have zero interest in coming back.

Famous Chinese Chicken Salad - super salty
Lauren Y.

Came here for a light lunch during my aunts birthday and I'm not going to lie it wasn't the best. On the one hand, it's a general store that serves food so I'm not expecting it to have first class service but I definitely felt like my experience and food fell short. I ordered the "famous" Chinese chicken salad and although the ingredients were great and fresh, the sauce was SO SALTY. I couldn't eat more of it because it was just hard to eat. The waiter also brought out complimentary chocolate malasadas (?) he never clarified what they were just that they were on the house... I found these to be super doughy and not the best. The service was overall disappointing... Upon being seated we noticed the table had place settings for 5 people instead of 6, and we had to keep asking to bring another set of utensils for our 6th person. When the waiter brought out dessert for us he also only brought 5 plates... despite there being 6 of us. I my malasada off a napkin because I didn't want to chase him down. So weird. Someone in my party ordered the Chinese chicken salad with the dressing on the side and when they brought it out it was fully mixed and not on the side. We also had to ask twice for a Diet Coke that was ordered with the initial drinks. A lady who was working at the store side also came to us and asked to take a photo of us for their Instagram page, which, was nice, but she also didn't offer to take one of us on our phone or to send the photo to us. so it felt like we were being used as props. Ultimately the food was pretty average and salty and the service was not the best. Would not go again...

The Napa General Store in Napa appears to be a diverse and comprehensive shopping destination, offering a vast selection ranging from tabletop serving utensils to hats, bags and wine. The inclusion of beautiful jewelry and clothing adds a touch of fashion and personal style to the store's repertoire. The products made from Wine barrels is incredible especially the chair and cooler barrels. The welcoming and friendly staff contribute to a positive shopping atmosphere, creating an environment where customers feel valued and comfortable. The store's extensive selection of products, covering a wide range of categories, suggests a commitment to catering to diverse customer needs. Overall, the Napa General Store seems to be a go-to place for those seeking variety and quality in their shopping experience. Plus after you are done shopping walk a few feet and there is an interesting incredible Wine bar, sit and order some wine!!!!

We had brunch here after visiting my Grandma nearby. The patio is lovely with blooming pomegranate trees in early fall. The brunch is very filling with large portions. My honey really enjoyed the burger and I loved the lamb Merguez sausage, the goat cheese inside the eggs with spinach was such a nice touch. The waitstaff was excellent but you have to walk through the general store to get to the restaurant in back...the staff at the entrance of the store was not very welcoming. Even though she was standing at the front counter the hostess (?) did not greet us, although brunch was tasty; the older members of the store staff were quite distasteful.

We had brunch here on a Monday and even then it had a good amount of people even dining outside when it was a bit brisk. We opted to eat inside. It's got a great vibe with a full bar and stools, plus a little store with a variety of gift ideas and collectibles including fun books like Colors of Napa for kids. I ordered a Burger with a sunny side up egg but they forgot the egg. They sent me two eggs on the side when I let them know the egg was missed. The side salad had a sweet Balsamic Dressing which was a tad too sweet for me. The meat was cooked medium rare as ordered. The burger was fine but nothing too special about it. My son had a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Fresh Fruit. The dish came with a good amount of freshly sliced fruit. My husband had the Huevos Rancheros which was served with two crunchy tortillas. Both of them enjoyed their food. I also had a Hard Lemonade which was very tasty and refreshing. My husband liked the Iced Tea and it was refilled without asking so he was happy about that. The service was friendly and attentive enough. It was a nice meal.

Brunch spot in downtown Napa which is dog friendly.... A major must for us! We made reservations to be seated outside and it looks like it gets pretty busy so I'm glad we did. The outdoor patio is adorable and offers plenty of shade for hot days. However, the food was meh and so unnecessarily expensive. I have no qualms paying a premium for good food but unfortunately it was super mediocre. Hubby ordered chicken and waffles and I ordered a waffle (they added strawberries for me but had no whip cream). The drinks were ok but, again... so unnecessarily expensive. Servers were kind and ambiance was nice but good food is a MUST for brunch!

Part store part restaurant part tasting room!

The Napa General store doubles as a restaurant and a tasting room. We were staying at a nearby Inn and were able to walk over to the Napa general store for breakfast. They have a great menu selection and the food is prepared as you would expect in Napa - everything was fresh and from a scratch kitchen. And when I was done with breakfast I had the opportunity to do some shopping at the general store... That's a win-win.

Salmon Benedict
Emily F.

Great restaurant in a cute store area. We had a reservation for our group and got seated right away. We tried several dishes and got some cocktails and bubbly as well. Servers were friendly and good service. The salmon benedict was delicious. Nicely cooked egg, flavors, and texture to the whole dish. The cornmeal pan makes were great. I loved that it was cornmeal and tasted delish. We also tried the breakfast pizza and was pretty in appearance like the other dishes and tasty. The store was also cute and we ended up buying some goods while waiting for our food.

Outdoor seating on the patio
Mary S.

Came here for breakfast, and I just adore the ambiance. It is located in historic downtown Napa. Inside they have a gift shop and restaurant. There is outdoor seating on the patio overlooking the Napa River. I was there after the Thanksgiving holiday, so the entire downtown area is decorated in Christmas. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly. The food was good. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that they did not have sugar-free syrup for my shortstack.

Avocado Benedict
Bryan K.

3/20/22: On our first visit to Napa, the general store was quite the let down. While we were able to get seated for breakfast, the service was incredibly slow. We ordered a Benedict and traditional breakfast plate. The food was just ok. The eggs in the Benedict so undercooked; the point that the egg whites were runny. My over hard eggs are over softish medium. The bacon and sausage were good but nothing special in my opinion. Our server was no where to be found so we couldn't even send the food back to the kitchen... The cherry on top here is that after breakfast around 11:05 we asked if we could opt in for wine tasting to which we were told "no, we don't start that until 11:30". Weird that the sign says 11 on it...

Eggs Benedict (9/10): potatoes could've been well-done, crispy (but I'm sure if I asked, they would've been!)
Jun-Jun L.

The customer service was really great when I came here with my family this past weekend. It's one of the main reasons I give this place a 5/5. I ordered their eggs Benedict and tried my family's other dishes such as their chicken and waffles as well as their French toast. The eggs on the Benedict were poached very nicely, served with well-seasoned potatoes (could've been crispier, but still tasty). The chicken and waffles were really great too, and I recommended them because the meat wasn't dry at all (they use chicken breast too!) and the waffles were very light, soft, and fluffy! I can say the same thing about their French toast too! Ambiance is very nice and located right next to the Napa River, where you can see people walking alongside the path, but the dining area is still separated by trees, so it's still semi-private without people hovering over you. I'd come back here again to try their drinks and try more of their brunch menu items. When I went here (Sunday brunch time on July 4 weekend), there was hardly a wait and we were seated promptly.

Karen r.

Really surprised by some negative reviews. We had a wonderful experience. Made a reservation because we were coming on a weekend. Got seated right away in nice outdoor seating. Lucked out with perfect, warm weather even in February! Food was excellent and service was professional and prompt. Definitely recommend.

After we finished eating, I frantically researched (read: checked Yelp) for a winery to visit. Housley seemed to fit the bill--good reviews, dog-friendly (we had her dog with us), and what seemed to be a reasonable tasting price. We get there and we realize it's owned by Tamera Mowry (who is now Mowry-Housley!) There's a picture of her and her husband (a former baseball player) in the window. We're sort-of starstruck. Shortly after, her husband (and the winery's owner) Adam walks up with their daughter and asks us how we're doing. We continue to be starstruck. Service was wonderful. Seating was comfy. The views weren't the best (we were drinking on the sidewalk and there's a parklet too.) The 5 wines for $29 was not bad, but the size of the pours was lacking. The first pour was the smallest and then slowly they seemed to give us more (maybe they heard me!) Honestly, the pricier wines tasted better. I wish our wine tasting could've been free if we bought two bottles or something--I would've done that! Cute merch and store with goodies inside. Bathroom is clean. Would be back!

These arancini are perfectly fried crab meat rolled into a ball served over a delicious tartar sauce. I wish I had 3 orders of this, at least. We ordered the soup of the day and their bread service. The soup was a white bean and sausage and it was perfectly salty and fatty. The bread and butter was a perfect accompaniment. The Carpe Diem salad was also really special. It had these Cabernet soaked dried cranberries that were so good and tart. For an entree, we ordered the short ribs which come over a risotto. It felt a little heavy, and maybe the sauce could've used a little acid to cut the heaviness. It was still really delicious though. For dessert, we had the espresso crème brûlée. This was just the icing on the cake of a great meal. I love Carpe Diem and hope to come back soon!

She was amazing and definitely not the reason I considered taking off a star. Shea was lovely, attentive, and took great care of our group. There were quite a few great wines on the menu. The flights were a little on the pricey side, but hey, this is downtown Napa. Overall, we were enjoying our family time, but there was one sour grape working that day. I'm not sure of her name, but she was wearing a black shirt and had dirty blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail. She looked unpleasant and like she wasn't happy to be there. Normally, I wouldn't write about someone I didn't directly interact with, but I can't get over the way she spoke to her coworker, Shea. She was condescending and bossed her around. At one point, I watched her interrupt Shea while she was helping other guests by calling out to her from behind the bar. She didn't seem to care about any of the patrons, almost as if they were an inconvenience. Will definitely be back but only when the sour grape isn't working.

I also tried the Mucha Lucha w/ cilantro infused Siete Leguas Blanco, chorizo infused mezcal and cubes made of hot sauce that make the drink have a bit more of a kick as you allow them to melt.

I work in the wine industry on the retail side in Texas, while my husband does not, so creating an experience that feels both educational and approachable for both of us is not always easy. Steve absolutely nailed it. He welcomed us warmly, shared thoughtful stories about the wines and the winery, and made the experience feel incredibly personal. The tasting room itself is beautiful and feels like a hidden gem in Napa. We especially loved learning about the wines and the woman winemaker behind Levendi. The tasting was stunning from start to finish. What truly sets Levendi apart, though, is the level of hospitality. Since our visit, I have referred many of my favorite clients to Levendi, and Steve consistently goes above and beyond for them. He bends over backwards to make sure my customers are taken care of, and every single person I've sent has come back raving about their experience.
