What a gem in downtown Benicia! The restaurant is absolutely adorable, and you can truly taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in every dish. Everything we had was delicious and clearly made with care. Our server, Destiny, was wonderful. She was so friendly and personable, and you could tell how much she genuinely loves working there. She spoke so highly of the owner, the food, and the ingredients, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her service was exceptional. We sat outside on the back patio, which was such a great atmosphere, relaxing, charming, and perfect for enjoying a meal. Another bonus is that it's within walking distance of other downtown Benicia spots, making it easy to spend an afternoon or evening exploring the area. I can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend! read more

My wife's meal was bare on the plate she enjoyed what she got but it lacked presentation. My quiche was flavored very well, the custard was too wet and separated from the delicious veg combo zucchini and asparagus. Great taste but the crust was leathery. I needed a steak knife but I just picked it up with my hands like a savage and ate it. The green salad on the side was very good. Light dressing very simple. The coffee was ok. The service was very friendly one of the best parts of the experience. They could use one more staffer on the busy times I can tell. They were cheery. The biggest complaint was the blaring hay ride country music that over produced tight jeans wet TShirt contest kinda hobby lobby vibe. It almost made the experience unbearable. The space is beautiful and the choices of art celebrates famous chefs. The interior design says class and care for the customer. The music tore through the thoughtful design to leave me with a headache and a very overwhelming sense of dread like a scene from deliverance. Would I go again? Yeah if I found out the fired the DJ. Overall this place has the most potential if they fire the music programming person. My taste buds were delighted, my head was assaulted. Please keep looking to improve what you have, this place has so much and is beautiful. Thanks for check in. read more

What a lovely spot! Food: 5/5. Sarah had recommended the omelette with bacon and cheddar cheese and it was delicious! I'm not usually one for salad for breakfast, but the salad was great and the perfect pairing with the omelette. I also had the perfect lavender latte! Service: 5/5. Sarah was such a delight and so friendly! My drink and food also came quickly. Amazing service! Atmosphere: 5/5. Not only is the food and service amazing, but the atmosphere is absolute perfection as well. This is the cutest little cafe at a bed and breakfast with bright yellow accents, beautiful decor, and a cozy setting. What a delightful experience and I can't wait to go back! read more

The atmosphere here is really nice. It is in a cute inn and has nice seating and is clean. The people were very friendly. I was, however, disappointed with the food. We ordered a breakfast sandwich. The bread was very hard and dense and did not taste like bread that I was accustomed to for a breakfast sandwich. The chicken in the chicken has was large pieces of chicken with okra, potatoes and onions. It did not resemble a hash in my opinion. It was more like a chicken stir fry. The food did not taste bad, but it was not something that I would tell others to try. read more

Super cute spot to grab some breakfast or brunch. It is a little confusing to find at first but you just walk all the way straight down once you walk into the building until you can't and then make a right. You order at the counter and they give you a number you take with you and sit wherever, either indoors or outdoors. Everything is very aesthetic.Staff were very nice as well. I got an avocado toast and added their grilled steak on top. The steak was cooked perfectly but was a bit chewy. The menu is pretty simple but I would come back for the vibes and the mimosas. read more

Our party of 10 had a wonderful Sunday Brunch experience in the exquisitely charming back room (more like a welcoming sun room actually) today. The ambiance was bright and cheerful with light filled windows and plants throughout. We were warmly greeted by Sarah and also welcomed by Erica. Both expertly took our orders at the counter, professionally noting added options and preferences. Service was quick and we appreciated the regular check-ins by both staff. We all loved our food and drinks: The Cafe Burger Avocado Toast Grilled Steak Salad Tuna Melt Breakfast Potatoes Pomegranite Margarita Lavender Mimosa Some of our lightest eaters noticeably finished their generous portions of Avocado Toast, surprising everyone including themselves! The Grilled Steak Salad was exceptional with exquisitely fresh greens and nice portions of grilled steak. Such a wonderful family Sunday experience for food, drink, service and ambiance. Well done. Highly recommended! read more

I had no idea this adorable café was tucked away here, and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. I stopped in on a gloomy Sunday morning for a coffee and a pastry, and it was exactly what I needed. They were playing Christmas music and the cozy seating area created the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind. I'm already looking forward to coming back with my daughter to enjoy some food and maybe a mimosa or two! read more

What an incredible find in my nearby city of Vallejo - in Benicia! I met up with some long time friends from elementary school with one person coming from Fairfield and the other from Oakland, so this was a great location for meeting in the middle! First off, the place is just lovely - a restored Victorian B&B tucked off the main drag and in quiet neighborhood with plentiful street parking. The option to eat outdoors in the garden on a warm winter day was lovely, but we decided on a cozy spot indoors for more privacy. It's the kind of place where you have to place your order at the counter then take your seat with your number, yet the young ladies at the cashier and coffee service were incredibly warm, welcoming, and gave enthusiastic suggestions for what was best on the menu that day, and their specials in general. I had the Farmer's hash with bacon - which was perfection - and we shared a lovely serving of delicious deviled eggs. Everyone was very pleased with the entire experience, and I can't wait to visit again - perhaps spending the night for a B&B staycation with the hubby!? If so, I'll report back! read more

Stepping foot into the restaurant, it gives you that old time home inn experience. Front the front door, you walk into the home and eventually find the restaurant. I really liked the decor inside. There are plenty of rooms you can choose from and also outdoor dinning. The staff was friendly. This isn't your typical restaurant. After getting our meal, there was no follow up with staff to see if I need anything refilled or just to check up on us. The food was ok, but it didn't help the prices seemed a little high for the place. This would be a nice place to hold a small wedding, but don't really plan to go back here unless prices change or the food gets better. read more

The Cafe at The Inn - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Benicia, California

Very cute cafe tucked away off the main downtown street. The GPS likely will take you to the street where the inn entrance is. You can go in "backwards" through the patio seating. We were walking down 1st and followed a sign directing us 0.5 miles down a side street. This brings you to the front of the cafe. The decor is farmhouse. Lots of plants! It's warm and welcoming. This morning we ordered the breakfast plate and the farmers market hash. The price is a little steep for a casual order at the counter and take a number type of restaurant. Breakfast for two came out to about $47 after tax and tip. But the food is very tasty and fresh! I left feeling quite full. The presentation is beautiful! For example take a look at the bacon on the breakfast plate. That's quality bacon. It's not 85% fat. All the other ingredients were high quality as well. I really enjoyed the seasonal hash. It had a slight kick to it. They did not skimp on the smoked chicken. I did feel it would be worth about $20 with how loaded it was. The okra and corn gave it a nice freshness to balance out the heaviness of potatoes. Good balance of flavors and textures. For water there is a self service station with glasses and straws. You have your choice of still or sparkling water. The Cafe is a fun treat to myself when I'm feeling like a breakfast or brunch that's a little more. read more

My girls and I came on a Wednesday around 11 am and were able to get a seat right away! We were a large party of 10! You pay first at the counter and then find a table! We got bottomless mimosas but not everyone needs to order it! We tried the grape flavor, and it was amazing!! There's a limit of 1.5 hours for bottomless and the refill time for the drinks are slightly slow since they make the mimosas as you go, but everything else is perfect! We tried the tuna sandwich, Brussels sprouts, and avocado toast . It was all delicious and the portions were quite large! This place is super cute and the service was great! I would definitely come back again. read more

It was my first time coming to have breakfast here, and I loved it so much! This is such a cute place to grab a bite to eat, or stay if you're in need of lodging. I had no idea this B&B existed, let alone how yummy the food they're serving is! My cousins and I came after a workout, so you know we were hungryyyy. It was close to brunch time on a Sunday when we got there, so two of us opted for their burger, while the other grabbed their special of shrimp and grits. Everything was delicious! The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and their grits were nicely seasoned and comforting. I also ordered an iced vanilla latte, which was standard. Can't complain! This is an order and then sit restaurant. Although it was already busy when we got there, there was plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors. The person we ordered from at the register was super nice, and the server who delivered our food to our table was very kind as well. Great service all around! This quaint B&B is in the heart of downtown Benicia, surrounded by other local shops and beautiful scenery by the water. Although the items are a little on the pricier side, it's nice to come here and support local business and get some delicious grub! I recommend checking it out! read more

Charming location to gather with friends! Great selection of seating choices inside or outside. Self-serve water bar that also provides sparkling water free of charge. Everyone enjoyed their food: cafe burger, two quinoia bowls w/sides of extra crispy bacon and the hash w/salmon substituted. Not impressed with the bloody mary's - tasted more of the mix than alcohol and fresh pickles were missing. read more

We came here after a high school graduation. A party of 5, they sat us down, we took maybe 10 mins to get to the counter and order and they told us no food would be served for at least 30 minutes. Seriously, a restaurant can't serve food! Sounded fishy to me. Whatever their reason, won't be coming back and based on the prices and service, I'd recommend staying away. read more

Pictures and videos don't do this place justice. It is so beautiful- you can go to Paula and have her show you the available rooms if you're thinking about staying here in the future. Believe me, you will want to, even if you're a local to spend a weekend here! All of the rooms are so beautifully designed, and there's a very relaxing patio area where you can have meals and listen to the fountain. Inside the place, you can order breakfast / brunch/ dinner. There's so many photographable areas, as each room is uniquely designed and has so much attention to detail! We tried breakfast items and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted so fresh. They hand make all of their items with homemade ingredients. Their servers are so kind and polite. You really do feel like you're home away from home here. I couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

Another Review from Tom and Mimi... Cannot give this place enough praise. Absolutely delicious food, well presented and good service! Mimi had a great dish of latkes with cream cheese, avocado, smoke salmon and house made pickled onions - she loved it and ate every bite. "It changed my feeling about how to eat Lox... absolutely delicious and the exact right amount too," said Mimi. I had the Breakfast plate with great bacon, potatoes, two eggs over easy and great toast and homemade strawberry jam. It was such a good plate of food,. I had a side of sausages patties, but really didn't need them. Overall, the experience was great, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

Greetings and welcome to Walt's Adventures. This is Walt and I am currently adventuring in Benicia, California. The Cafe at the Inn is the cafe linked to the Bed and Breakfast inn here in the village next to the ocean. The cafe has spacious indoor and covered outdoor dining. We were immediately directed to our table and selected our meals. All of the plates looked amazing. Their individual tastes were very good and satisfied our desires. Regrettably, minus 1 rating for the non refillable beverages and for the slightly longer arrival time. The Cafe at the Inn was a joyful eating experience and one that I recommend to anyone who desires a pause in their daily lives. read more

Benicia's best kept garden hideaway is magical and so comfy. It's one of those cafes that feels welcoming and homey. I went to Cafe at the Inn twice for my birthday brunch! First with a large group -- which they can accommodate if you call ahead -- and then with two of my favorite ladies. Both times we were happy with the fresh food, delicious drink options, and wonderful ambiance. Inside there's so many cute corner nooks including interior design that is so classic and thoughtful. If you find yourself there on a day with good weather, you can enjoy the beautiful fenced patio/gazebo. The service was great -- the staff are friendly and timely! What's not to love! read more

I love this cafe. From the amazing service to the charm of the decor, I really feel like this spot has it all. The focus here is breakfast and lunch but they also will do special random dinners if you keep up with their social media. I think my favorite thing about this place is the random specials they have. They always hit. My favorites so far have been the Loco Moco and the Prime Rib Sandwich. If Im not getting a special my usual go tos are the Breakfast Sandwich and the Hash here. I just feel like the ingredients they put into each dish is fresher than most places in town. It probably doesn't help that Im only a couple of blocks away from this place... read more

When I walked into cute little cafe and inn I felt like I was stepping on the set of a Hallmark movie. It's quaint, clean, cozy. Just tried brunch here in Dec 2024. We enjoyed everything! The items were simple but full of flavor and tasted fresh. BRUNCH: Breakfast sandwich Soup of the day: chicken chowder? Egg nog latte Iced vanilla latte The only con was the egg nog latte just tasted like only egg not. We expected it to be a coffee drink as it was labeled as a latte. Street parking was easy. Perfect location on the 1st Street in Benicia. Nice place to walk around. Friendly service. Would come back! read more

My husband and I recently had The Cafe at the Inn cater our one-year anniversary party for 60 guests at the Inn's courtyard. The food was a standout highlight. We had quite a few guests come to tell us on the event day how fresh and delicious the food was. We came to Chef Kyle with a budget in mind. He was chill, flexible, and communicative. He was able to meet us where we wanted to be, crafting a menu that was seasonable and delicious. The catering staff were wonderful too. They were super communicative and supportive on the event day. For great food and a professional, supportive catering experience, The Cafe at the Inn is the only choice. We give them our high recommendation. read more

Cafe at the Inn is an absolutely beautiful building with extremely well-prepared, high quality food & drinks. Somehow, the presentation of the food matches the intricate decor- Everything is super well-prepared with top-notch ingredients and the quality reflects the extra effort. When they're busy, service times can vary a bit, but it's worth the brief wait. Cafe at the Inn is easily one of the best breakfasts in the entire North Bay. read more

Wow. I can't believe I haven't Yelped this place. I have gone many times. It is a place right off First St. It is attached to an awesome looking Inn but I haven't been inside.

It's like walking into a house but head to the back to place your order and pay. They give you a number to place on your table and will bring your order to you whether you are indoors or outdoors. The indoors is cute and cozy. The outdoors is so cute and spacious. Very pretty has a water fall area and nice grassy area too. I got the omelette and was surprised how fluffy and good it was along with the light salad provided. The coffee was so good and piping hot exactly the way I love it. Looking forward to coming back to hang out and enjoy more of the menu offerings. read more

The food was excellent! We had the hash and quinoa bowl- nice chai latte with oatmilk and cafe Americanos(they don't serve drip coffee).

We sat outside in the lovely sunshine but needed to move to an umbrella covered table after awhile. read more

Found this cute little spot a couple months ago and have been there twice so far. Such a lovely little gem in Benicia. There are seats inside and outside. Staff is super friendly and nice. You walk into the "house" and go all the way towards the back where there's a counter where you order. They have a full espresso bar next to the order counter. After ordering you get a table number and a waiter will bring you your order when ready. Food is delish and ambience is calm and so pretty! There was an older gentleman who was joking with us when we were looking at the menu on the sidewalk. I believed he worked there as he was tending to the outside areas and garden. He was extremely friendly and funny and also checked with us on how the food was as we were leaving when we were done with our meal. Loved the xtra touch and hospitality he gave us before we even walked on to the property! Will definitely be a spot I come to for a long, long time! read more

European BnB Vibes at the heart of Benicia! Went to eat with my mom and Grammies after church for a Sunday Breakfast. Their food was super yummy! (They are shareable portions as well) Their staff makes you feel right at home! There are different rooms you can choose to dine at. They are also wheelchair friendly, the ramp is located on the other side of the restaurant with parking. The sun was out and pretty so we enjoyed our food at their lovely patio :) my favorites were their avocado toast and brown sugar latte. Will definitely have to come back for their crab omelet special! They are also open for events, you will just have to call and make reservations. *shoutout to these wonderful ladies who assisted us Sofia, Amaya, and Sarah! Thank you and we'll definitely be back soon! read more

One word. DELIGHTFUL. Located in a 7 bedroom Inn, is a lovely restaurant. Multiple rooms for you to choose just the right spot to enjoy a cup of coffee, a baked good, or a full meal. Large attractive patio with vibrantly colored chairs. Clean restroom and easy parking. Now for the food. Order the quiche. Filling changes daily. It was delicious and served with a very fresh side of lightly dressed mixed greens. I can't believe I forgot to take a photo. Guess, I'll just have to go back! read more

Very limited items on the menu on Mother's Day. Took 30 minutes to get our drinks and over an hour to get our food. We had to ask when our food was coming. The server brought it out shortly after that. The food was kindof warm, bacon half cooked, eggs overcooked and cold toast. I will not be going back. read more

I had a lovely breakfast with my husband at this charming Inn. The Inn is super cute and beautifully decorated. Very clean. The waitress was the nicest. And the food was good. We shared an order of hash and quiche. The hash isn't really a hash, it is actually just potatoes with brussel sprouts and onion, but tasted good. I also ordered the endless mimosas and had 3.5 glasses of the carrot mimosa. Every time I was about done with a glass, the waitress somehow sensed it and refilled for me. I think this place is a good location to go on a date. So many cute little areas to sit and have privacy. We sat at the red couch and no other customers sat in our room the whole time we were there. Felt like we had the place all to ourselves. I accidentally left my hat there and the waitress chased us down the street to give it back to me. A+ service! read more
