Stopped by every morning for coffee. Great service and great coffee. We will stop by again when we are in the area

This nice little cafe is nestled in a quiet street next to Brannan Cottage Inn. It will be easier to find the parking if you coming from the Grant/Wappo intersection. We had Avocado Toast w/ bacon bits and Roast Beef sandwich. The freshly made drinks are expensive, but what the hack. The Arnold Palmer and Lemonade were added to feast. After ordering, you can choose to dine inside or outside. The outdoor seatings are wonderful if you want to avoid the burger smell and don't mind the warm Calistoga weather. The waiter brought out the foods to our table. It didn't take long for us to gobble up them all. I almost missed the photo shot of the Roast Beef. But they were very tasty. Restroom is clean and neat. Will stop by this place next time if we are in town again. read more

Sandwich was freshly made and tasty. The coffee looks well prepared and a beautiful area outside to sit. Ok so the water bottle is 3.94$ including tax. The sandwich was bite size so expect to pay for the atmosphere. The interior is tight so be careful opening the door and exiting different doors. Attentive service. read more

The CBD latte was good--smooth and not too sweet, just how I like it. We went very early in the morning, so the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful, with a sign reminding visitors to keep the volume down since people in the area are still sleeping. That quiet, paired with the sound of birds chirping, made for a relaxing start to the day. Overall, a pleasant experience--would come again for the vibe, though nothing particularly extraordinary stood out. read more

Super cute coffee shop. They have indoors and out door seating. We order a mocha and the matcha both were really good. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for good coffee and a quick bite. read more

quaint and cute little coffee shop in calistoga located on the cutest street! there's a big outdoor seating area for you to enjoy your coffee from as well. i ordered the (secret menu) seasonal peachy greens, which is matcha plus peach syrup. this was pretty good! not my favorite matcha drink ever, but definitely a fun, summer twist to a beloved classic. the white chocolate mocha drink was DELICIOUS!! i'm not even a fan of coffee or white chocolate, but Sam worked his magic and beautifully crafted the 2 flavors to perfection. the bakery quiches were also AMAZING!!!! so simple but will leave you wanting more. service is quick and store is clean and cute! what more can you ask for? read more

Just needed a quick pick me up and did not have time for a Sam's Social Club for a big brunch. So went over to Sm's General store on a cold day. Cute little spot for coffee, some sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches and frittatas. Both indoor and outdoor seating. Located across the street from Sam's Social. Ordered a coffee and a small frittata and sat outside. All the seats inside were taken. There is a cute little cottage next door that looks like an inn and would be a great little romantic place to stay for a weekend of wine tasting. read more

Great ambiance and perfect covered outside area with tables and chairs for food. I had the everything tart with spinach and ricotta with a hazelnut latte. Yum!! Unfortunately I dropped half of the little goodie before even taking a bite because of my fluffy partner so... I fortified that morning with an order of avo toast with bacon. Please get this - you will not regret it. One small feedback for our new found manager friend (Nicole) - keep it up!! Next time I may stay here too because the cottages here are just adorable! read more

Coffee was average. Pastries good but probably a day old, not fresh at all. The employees were not very friendly. Ambiance very nice outdoor setting. Very relaxing and I would return for the nice setting. read more

Cute little stop for a quick breakfast and coffees with both indoor and outdoor seating. I really enjoyed the pumpkin latte...the young lady making the coffee did an excellent job at describing it before I ordered it. My husband's CBD honey latte was a little bland. Our shared Roast Beef and Mazzarella sandwich was really tasty...large sized and delicious served warm. Would definitely recommend for a quick stop in the morning. read more

We recently visited Calistoga and popped into Sam's General Store since it was near where we were staying. It's a cute, small shop with a few tables inside (lots outside but it was quite chilly that day). They seemed a bit short staffed for a Saturday morning since there was only one person working and the line was out the door. We loved the breakfast sandwich and the pastries were solid. The latte was great too. The second day we ordered ahead of time online but there was still a bit of a wait so make sure you plan ahead! read more

Cute store. Nice cafe. Quiet but efficient employee. Though in her defense, she was working alone and seemed like a constant flow of customers. Delicious "Egg, Bacon, Avocado Toast". read more

I rarely write reviews, but when you're called to, you must fulfill your duty. I came here for a warm coffee and some respite from the cold, and what i ended up with was a very disappointing culinary experience. My oat milk latte tasted foul, like burnt hay. I also ordered a "New York" bagel, which was claimed to be flown in from the Big Apple itself. I sank my teeth in to discover the unmistakable flavor of Thomas' bagels. Calistoga is severely missing the opportunity to have a stellar coffee shop. They could do some great business! Better luck next time. read more

Quick fresh delicious sandwiches! Fun and friendly staff plenty of seating outdoor outdoors a few tables indoors great coffee, too ! read more

After a much needed spa day, the fiancé and I were in desperate need of some food! Lo and behold we found Sam's! Sam's is a cute shop with delicious bites to eat. We grabbed a sandwich, a quiche, and a couple of lattes. They were absolutely delicious! Even when it was cold and foggy out, we opted to eat on the patio on the deck (they also have a nice outdoor area off the deck). We devoured our little brunch and sipped our lattes until they were gone. We didn't want to leave! The barista was friendly and even brought us our items. Loved the history of the store! We'll be stopping here every time we're on our way back from a spa day! read more

Delish coffees, warm fire place, friendly service! Made for the perfect spot to dip into on a cool, rainy afternoon to enjoy a latte after 3p when most all other coffee options have closed. They offered a ton of great options including a cbd honey latte with bed pollen and several other fun holiday drinks. I'd highly recommend stopping in, also loved seeing all of the Calistoga specific wine selection offerings they had. Very lovely space. read more

Sandwiches and coffee are surprisingly good! I would skip the empanada next time. Ambiance is really nice, indoor seating is slightly limited but outdoor seating is plentiful and beautiful. Mostly self serve but the employees at the register were nice enough to bring our food outside to us when we were waiting. Overall a solid spot that I'd recommend :) read more

Great spot for a quick meal and great coffee in Calistoga! My wife and I each ordered the Avocado Toast for breakfast while she ordered a cold brew coffee and I decided to try the Pistachio Latte. The Avocado Toast was delicious and filling, worth every cent. The special latte had a great taste of pistachio without being overpowering in flavor or tasting too artificial. The staff is very friendly at this establishment! They are quick witted and just pleasant human beings. As for the space, it's quite special, feeling "homey" without too much clutter. There's ample outdoor seating, so on a beautiful morning, you're able to enjoy your breakfast and take in your surroundings. read more

Food - 4 Service - 2 Value - 3 I came here on my recent trip to Calistoga, and nearly missed the place because there isn't really a great sign that let's you know it's Sam's General Store that you can see from the street. I placed my order online and got the Mighty Matcha Iced Latte and a Turkey Pesto Sandwich. When I arrived, there were 2 workers behind the counter and I let them know I was there for online pickup and that my order was ready. However, instead of just giving me my order, instead they let me know that they would help me in a few minutes -- but then they were just standing around as I waited. I thought maybe my order wasn't ready after all...but after about 10 minutes one of them finally decided to help me and they pulled my matcha from a refrigerator where it had been waiting since before I arrived and then there was box of food that they handed me which I had noticed was also there already at the moment I had initially arrived. The food and drink were quite good, but the experience of waiting for no apparent reason was frustrating and certainly made the food less enjoyable for me. read more

Hidden gem on a side street that preserved its historical heritage. Like everything else in the area its is not cheap, but the avocado toast was worth the ransome. Everything avacado toast with bacon was one of the best I ever had. The toast itself was perfect: crispy flaky exterior while the inside was warm & fluffy. The fatty crispy bacon gave it a good contrast. Lavender latte was very good. Inside dining was very cozy with fire place & 5 tiny tables that should accomodate 10 guests. There were plenty of outdoor tables & chairs. read more

Stopped for a quick breakfast and was not disappointed. They have loads of pastries, savory and sweet to grab and go. I had the tomato and spinach frittata which was perfectly cooked and delicious. The kouignaman that I saved for later was absolutely delicious. Was not the the regular texture of a kouignaman but was more crispy and light like a croissant and then stuffed with apricot preserves. Very good pastry. The turmeric expression drink I had was made really well. At first I was skeptical about the flavor combination but I was pleasantly surprised by how well they blended. Customer service was great too. They do offer packed picnic lunches for small and large groups that I will sure to hit up next time I'm in town. Cute cozy little place with loads of outdoor seating under the shade of trees and some sunny tables too. read more

Not even half a mile from where we stayed at the UpValley Inn is Sam's General Store, a place of breakfast and coffee happiness. The building was built in 1862 by California's first recognized millionaire, Sam Brannan, who made his fortune from the California Gold Rush and founded the town of Calistoga. Sam's General Store is a cool-looking building with outdoor seating in the courtyard, excellent coffee beverages, and a killer avocado toast breakfast dish. Given the sleepy, laid-back vibes of Calistoga, finding parking on the street is easy unless you are within walking distance of Sam's. The building owners made sure to build the wooden-plank deck flooring around the large tree that has grown on the property for centuries. The hip and clean interior produce great morning vibes as you wait to give your order for whatever beverage you seek from their menu and any quick-to-prepare or ready-to-go breakfast items. Their cafe americano gave me the pep I needed to start my day of wine tasting. They have flaky and buttery croissants, which I enjoyed immensely. I absolutely loved the Everything Avocado Toast with Bacon (everything bagel seasoning on mashed avocado). The bacon was luscious and magical, while the mashed avocado was delectable. Additionally, Sam's offers an excellent array of danishes, muffins, quiches, and sandwiches in the glass display on the front counter. The tall black shelving houses various wine bottles, snacks, yin yams, and swags like wine glasses. An open beverage refrigerator by the side door to the courtyard offers some beer and hard seltzer options like Bee Knee's by Monkey Wrench, sodas, juice, salads, puddings, and overnight oats. Sam's is a must-visit if you're visiting Calistoga for a couple of days due to its savory avocado toast, great coffee, and all-around chill vibes. read more

Perfect place to grab a sandwich and coffee before heading over to the geyser! The pesto sandwich was tasty and came with a free cookie. Really enjoyed the iced tea. Eating there would also probably be cute, they have an adorable patio. Food came out fast and was reasonably priced (iced tea was maybe a little on the overpriced side) read more

This was my first time here. It took a long time to get two coffees. But it wasn't the staff. This place has a local charm and all the folks on line had one or more stories to share and questions to ask the girl behind the counter. She was extremely polite and attentive to each customer in turn. Thus the long wait. My wife got a Bee Pollen Latte. She loved it. I got a drip black coffee. It was very good. The selection of breakfast treats looked so incredibly tempting, it was hard to not get something. The pastries and egg frittatas looked so tasty. But we were going to get breakfast at Sam's Social Club, so I wanted to save my appetite. This place has nice outdoor seating and great offerings. It's slightly off the main road. But definitely worth seeking out. I'm looking forward to getting something to eat next time. One last thing, they don't know how to use the Yelp Checkin Offer for $1.50 drip coffee. read more

This is a lovely place yellow house and yellow chairs The cash register lady was really nice, she was super accommodating to our questions and needs and communicated with the kitchen for us. She also made small talk about thanksgiving and was all around friendly. The sandwiches we had and the coffee cake were pretty good. If i could be a regular i would come here for coffee all the time. They had pretty photos of espresso drinks - i didnt have one because i had already had coffee but i missed it! read more

This is such a cute spot, 4 stars mainly for the cute outdoor area! I tried the avocado toast on a bagel, spinach and ricotta quiche, and breakfast empanada. The avocado bagel was my favorite and the empanada was pretty good too, wasn't a big fan of the quiche. I ordered an iced hazelnut latte with oat milk half caf, but it tasted really watered down. I think it was because I ordered it half caf because my friend's iced oat vanilla latte tasted great. read more

Great spot tucked away from the main street in Calistoga. My husband and I needed to get some work done and spent a morning here (they have WiFi!) while staying in a town nearby. We stopped by on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. Super peaceful and quiet to sit in the outdoor courtyard. The lavender latte was pretty good (I always order this when I see it on the menu...) Also ordered the quiche, roast beef sandwich (yum), and turkey pesto. Everything was pricey, which we kind of expected in a small resort town, but tasty. And the outdoor space was just so nice! We really enjoyed our morning here. read more

The store is part of a boutique hotel that offers cottages across the street from Indian Springs. The landscaping and architecture are stunning along with the ambiance that they've created with the outdoor space. The food is almost a disappointment given the setting - it's good, just unremarkable which is a shame. read more

Great food and coffee but nowhere for people to sit when inconsiderate couples decide to take up 4 of the 5 tables to look at Facebook all morning. Won't be back unfortunately. Advertise as an internet catered cafe and for the people paying for food and drinks provide heat lamps or blankets outside so they can enjoy what you are selling. read more

The atmosphere was nice, cozy, small, but the selection of breakfast & lunch was not what I expected. I did have a wonderful NY bagel with avocado spread though! This would have likely been a better experience in warmer weather. Maybe we were expecting too much for the time of year? read more

Ordered bacon avacado everything toast. Out of toast, okay no biggie, I will go with a bacon avacado bagel. Got it and the bagel was ice cold, not toasted and they didn't even put the bacon on it. Also could have seasoned the avacado with a little salt or something. Service otherwise was good. But won't be back. read more

This is now my favorite place to grab a quick coffee and bakery item in the Napa Valley area. The customer service is so much better than the more popular bakeries in the area. Not only is it a unique location, but it's also a comfortable one. You could spend a lot of time in here sipping your coffee in front of the fireplace. The mocha is the best one I've tried in a very long time. The bakery items we tried were also very good. I just wish we had come here in lieu of other spots for breakfast this time around. At least I know where to go next time we are in town. read more

Love this place! So cute!! Lots of seating outside and the coffee and avocado toast was so good! Will return next time I visit Calistoga. read more

We were in town for a wedding and was looking for good coffee and breakfast. We liked the nice outdoor seating and gave the place a try. We were so disappointed with the quality of food and coffee. My breakfast sandwich was mostly bread with very dry(old?) egg and one dry bacon. It was bad. My husband got avocado sandwich which had a thin layer of avocado with just a hard boiled egg. Coffee wasn't very good either. Could be a great spot if food and coffee were better. Giving stars only because the outdoor area was pleasant. read more
