Staff can be extremely backed up on orders, yet they always seem to maintain a positive energy. My lattes are exactly what I would like my Starbuck's lattes to be, rich and flavorful. Weekends are very busy for these folks. Not many staff working the front line and they have a small work station. The line can be long and the wait time significant. (Last time I went, after placing my order, the wait time neared 30 minutes). If time is of utmost of importance, maybe go to Starbucks. But if not and you are seeking to spend time with and share a delicious coffee moment with a friend, you may want to give these folks a try. read more

Stopped in over the weekend to pick up a coffee. It's located in the Oxbow Public Market. There was a small line but moved pretty quickly. Even though the orders get taken quickly, they can get backed up on making the drinks because it's a small space and they only had two people making drinks. We decided to try one of the specials "Spring Affair" ($6.50), which is a rosewater and cardamom latte that can be made hot or iced. We decided to try it iced with almond milk. We asked if they had oat milk and they said they only had almond or soy. We have had lavender lattes elsewhere so the women who rang us up suggested the special. It was good but probably wouldn't get it again. It was pricey for what we got. The rosewater and cardamom came through but the cardamom was maybe a little too strong. Plus we didn't know that their drinks only come in one small size. It was fine for me but my fiancé ended up buying another coffee elsewhere because he realized it just wasn't quite enough for him. read more

Ritual Coffee Roasters - Spring Affair (iced)- rose water and cardamom latte with almond milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Napa, California

Located in the Oxbow Market. Service was good. Took a while to get our drip coffee, which I know is a longer wait at any roaster, but it took unusually long here. It was good coffee though. I think a lot of people don't realize that good coffee and espresso doesn't happen lightning fast. If you've ever been a barista, you understand that pulling espresso can take some time. There's nothing you can do to speed up that process. I'm sure they get backed up on orders because of how popular and busy it is there, but for what they're working with, I think they do a good job. It's not like they're leaning back against the counter not doing anything. They're friendly and work hard, and they coffee is definitely above average. Easy 4 stars. read more

Came here to the market just to check out the downtown Napa area as well as see the market and was really disappointed about the experience. There was no one working at the special drinks counter and I just wanted to take a peek at the menu as they had it in paper form on the counter. I walked over to read it and there was no one behind me. A lady comes up to us and and asks if she can help us. I told her I was just taking a peek at the menu and she very rudely told us that we need to go to the other counter to order. She was extremely pushy and so we left that counter and my sister ended up ordering a dandelion mocha at another counter. It was not sweet at all and honestly, i felt bad about reading a menu since she was so rude about it. Very upset about my experience here. read more

Good service and aromatic coffee. Good quality and in good ambiance market with baked goods

Inept. Took 20min for a cortado - not sure how ya mess that up when you have three baristas back there. read more

Wi-Fi never works. Been here twice in 6 months and same issues. Nice comfortable environment. Better than Starbucks. But can't get work done. Baristas helpful but they admittedly aren't IT peeps. I happen to be one. Too bad. Stay away if you want to get work done on Wi-Fi. Hot spot is an option, but Verizon service is very low. Unfortunately you need to buy something before getting Wi-Fi password and figuring out that it doesn't work. Doesn't even ask for a password In fact the only thing that has changed in 6 months is that they don't outright display the Wi-Fi PW. Which makes me think they know of the issues, and don't do anything about it. Wasted $5 and I'm on my way to Starbucks to work read more

Closed at 5 PM due to long term staffing shortage Yelp will not update hours. Coffee smelled great. Closed before I could order. read more

I've been looking forward to coming back here since March and I savored each moment I got to go this past weekend. Their soy mocha is just perfect! I didn't even need to add any sugar to it AND it was the right temperature that it won't burn your tongue! Oh did I mention that their coffee is strong enough to last me throughout the whole day, considering I'm used to drinking 3 or more shots of coffee per day! Yah, its that strong! read more

Ran in on a busy Saturday morning, whoop! Fast, friendly service, lovely coffee. Caught some rays on the patio while sipping my latte read more

Ritual Coffee Roasters - Perfection in the morning! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Napa, California

Oh man, I REALLY wanted to like this place -- I truly did! The look, the funky employees, the yummy smelling roasts...but sadly, I was served a truly awful cup of espresso on BOTH visits. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, maybe I needed to get one of their sugar and milk loaded "frou frou" drinks that are more "flair" than actual "coffee." I made the mistake of ordering a shot of espresso each time (I've tried this place twice). I love espresso. I drink it strong and black. I have three Nespresso machines at home and make espressos every single day. I travel to Italy just to drink espresso (yeah, that's for real). I realize this makes me sound like some sort of coffee douchebag, but the point is that I love GOOD coffee. The espresso Ritual Coffee served me was so bitter and so poorly pulled, there was hardly any crema at all! I know making a great espresso is truly an art and it's not something that's ordered very often in the U.S., but a real coffee joint ought to know how to pull a good (not expecting great, mind you) shot of espresso. I guess I'll give them another try the next time I'm at Oxbow in Napa, but real coffee drinkers beware -- avoid the espresso. read more

During our recent stay in Napa, we came to Oxbow Market every day and Ritual Coffee became a daily routine. My fiance absolutely loved the Ethiopian pour over and I loved the chai. Unfortunately, they rotate out the coffees, and he was only able to get the Ethiopian blend one day. He asked for recommendations and was never disappointed. The chai was very spicy, just the way I liked it. This place was an absolute must for us if we're in the area! read more

Have gone and been thru the OxBow market many times but this is the first time visiting this place. Not much of a coffee person but was very happy with my drink. Had the golden lady and the ginger syrup and turmeric does a good balance with the espresso. read more

We were sitting down enjoying some Three Twins ice cream when I saw the Ritual counter. It's not fully in service as of Feb 2/23/08. They were selling only coffee from French Presses and pre-bagged coffee beans. They will be getting their cappuccino machines by May 1, 2008 or so. They have 2 shops in SF. One in the Bayview and One in the Mission. read more

Love this place and their coffee. Highly recommend and try to grab a bad whenever I can.

Good selection of both sweet and savory pastry. Tasty espresso drinks that let the coffee speak, rather than being overly sweet. read more

Cold brew was horrible . Very light tiny bit of flavor portion to price and quality ridiculous.

I went with their dark chocolate latte although I wanted just a vanilla latte (they dont carry vanilla syrup). Overall not a fan of their coffee it was too bitter and not very smooth either. I had to toss my cup in the end. read more

Love that they have a Rituals in Oxbow market. No matter the weather, I normally get a hot tea, but their specialty drinks were enticing so I ended up getting their iced Moonlight Swim instead. Despite it being really busy, I didn't have to wait too long for my drink. It was refreshing and not too sweet. I would order this again. Thumbs up for having sustainable straws as well. read more

Bleh. We came here yesterday morning for coffee and baked goods and left underwhelmed. The market wasn't open yet, so it was nice to walk around it empty and sit and enjoy our breakfast in peace, but otherwise there was nothing special about this place. We got lattes that both came out tepid and our daughter's hot chocolate--ahem, our daughter's 4 oz hot chocolate that was $6--was one level above cold. The blueberry muffin was excellent with a solid crumb and pervasive blueberry flavor but the strawberry danish had something rotten on/in it. Kiddo's rainbow cookie thing was forgettable. All in, $35. It's Napa, we get it, fine, but you better at least deliver in quality and this place simply did not. read more

The coffees were delicious once ordered. I had issues trying to order through a third party app but saw people who had ordered through the Ritual Coffee app sail through. read more

This review is for a day in the last week of July 2021. The nice employee explained some of their coffee selections to me.  I was still uncertain about what other selections they have. I didn't want to hold up the line so I hurriedly ordered the Latte with the Spring Seasonal Espresso that has a hint of orange flavor and a few other flavors which I can't remember.  When I picked up my Latte, I was surprised how small the cup of Latte was.  The Latte had a pretty leaf design that the Barista made with the cream which was nice.  I did taste a hint of orange in the Latte.  The flavor is too light.   I would not order from here again because the Latte was so small it's not worth the price of $5.50. read more

What a joy to stumble upon one of the best coffee shops in the nation, that just happens to have another location in Napa. - Update: I have ordered from them a couple of times during Covid. Their beans are always super freshly roasted, usually the roast date is the same as the day I ordered. Their prices with free shipping are some of the best in all of specialty coffee! read more

This is by far the best place in Napa where coffee is truly practiced as a culinary art, inside the Oxbow market. I have been several other coffee shops in the immediate area and there is nothing equivalent to what this place is doing. If you order at the "Special Menu" area that features the super high-end Synesso MVP Hydra espresso machine, the baristas here really know what they are doing and are ultra-precise with their measurement of shot weight and milk temperature so they can pour an absolutely perfect latte. I was there when Zoe was working and she is an absolute pro and fun to watch especially if you are a espresso drink fanatic and are looking to perfect your own skills. The roast is medium and extremely fruity. Some may think that the milk isn't hot enough but this is the only way you can get the consistency right to do the latte art everybody wants. They use a different roast and bean blend for pulling straight up shots (single origin, super smooth) versus their espresso drinks which is higher in acidity and are better for mixing with milk. Don't miss this place if you are shopping for goodies in the market, eating lunch, or visiting CIA Copia next door. I'd come here just to come for this place, personally. read more

Located w/in Oxbow Market, a shop serving a more artisanal approach to coffee. Service staff is friendly w/ a wide selection of milk options. Very satisfied with my Cappucino and I'm sure it will meet your needs. read more

The coffee at ritual is among the best in california, iv had blue bottle, Stumptown in los angeles, maru in socal and ritual I think has my favorite latte. I think a lot of this has to do with the passion of the baristas like Andrew, both Tommy's and Cameron to name a couple, their knowledge and execution of the drinks is a sight to behold. The apple cider latte is my close 2nd fav. It can be loud with a bunch of annoying entitled tourists but there's the oxbow for ya. I keep going back for the vibes and consistent great coffee. read more

THERE IS A RITUAL IN NAPA? There sure is! I was surprised when I was searching for a coffee house near my hotel one morning and I found Ritual! I must try it and see if the quality is comparable to the one @ San Francisco It wasn't that hard to find. It's located inside the public market. As expected, there was a long line and lots of people waiting for their coffee. We ordered 2 cappuccino and 1 mocha. Had to wait 20 minutes for the coffee since there was a long queue ahead of us. I am glad that we waited for it, the coffee was really good. Similar to the other ritual's quality. read more

SKIP THE RITUAL I was at Oxbow the evening of Monday Sept 30 2019 I wanted to order a coffee, sadly because of the disgusting attitude of the barista I never had the chance to try Ritual's coffee. Don't need to give my money to someone giving me attitude... I left and went down the street to Starbucks...where... you guessed it! no attitudes, no egos... just good service and good coffee.. read more

You know me and my love for iced coffee. I saw that there was long line here at the Oxbow Public Market so I had to try out their drinks. I got an iced mocha with their seasonal espresso. They make your drink fast and it tasted pretty good, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary but definitely worth a try if you're already at OPM. Loving their logo and vibe :) read more

I usually grab a drink here when I visit Oxbow. This place doesn't disguise their coffee with overly sweet syrups and sugars, so be forewarned that your drink may not be as sweet compared to Starbucks (they have simple syrup and sugar you can add if you must). Service is always good. I enjoy their lattes and flat whites. read more

Located in the Oxbow Market, this place could not be more crowded or well decorated. But the problem is, I'm just not that into their coffee, and I love drip and espresso drinks. Maybe their coffee sits in the uncanny valley for me. We had light roasts which lacked a punch. Their flavors felt mild and muffled and they lacked the bright acidity I love about pour overs. read more

If I'm being very honest , I went to this coffee shop because it was near where I was and saw quite a few people there so I assumed it was popular. I ordered a mocha which is my usual. The coffee was very one note . There was nothing special about it for it to cost me $7 . The cashier and barista seemed uninterested. I would rather just go to a Starbucks . read more

** INSIDE THE OXBOW PUBLIC MARKET ** If you want some coffee, the first step is trying to figure out how to make into the Oxbow Public Market. I may have never realized that there were stairs on the right side of the building (whoops) until my fiance told me later. They've got the ramp on the left side of the building that I used to get in and to get out. Very friendly and quick staff on the booth and the espresso was nicely roasted. ATTENTION -- They had oat milk -- Oat milk is basically all a coffee shop needs to have all my love and appreciation (you should try it, even if you typically drink milk.) Not gonna lie, that it's also a plus that you get to look around at the quirky market while you sip your drink. read more

Love Ritual!!!!!!! It is the best coffee in Napa, and one of my faves for the Bay Area. Love the beans we buy weekly, but then I also love when I run out of beans and have to buy a gorgeous and delicious latte to get caffeine pronto. To an outsider, the staff feels like a family, in that extended family all crammed next to each other at the Thanksgiving table kind of way (sometimes cranky, always jokey, always entertaining). They take time to say coo at my little son which is super sweet. We buy all of our coffee accessories here, and are proud owners/wearers of many super cute Ritual tee-shirts. I appreciate their recent expansion into the adjacent space and being able to hide away in there while I enjoy my coffee in a mug. So much love for this place! read more
