Update: Ce back day two... equally as awesome as the first visit. You HAVE to go here! FANTASTIC spot. The two items we got made us decide we're coming here for breakfast the rest of the week. Just outstanding!!! Friendly service, great coffee options, and bright atmosphere.
I had such a lovely solo breakfast at Winston’s Cafe & Bakery. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming — the perfect place to start the day. I absolutely loved the pineapple fritter, they were such a sweet and delicious treat. My latte was perfectly made, and the two-egg plate was just right to kick off the day with a satisfying meal. Great food, cozy vibe — I’ll definitely be coming back!
A neighborhood cafe that serves delicious brunch food and pastries. The breakfast don rice bowl was a standout with home-made spam and lots of vegetables on top of rice. The lox bagel is a popular choice but personally I found it too salty. The chorizo omelette was yummy with lots of protein and veggies. The price was average in the Napa area. Overall a very nice local breakfast or brunch restaurant.
Busy place with great, fresh food! Had the brunch burger which was excellent! Fried egg was perfect with the rich yolk taking it over the top. Crisp bacon, two tender beef patties and a freshly baked roll with melted cheese - yum! Fresh salad with a light dressing for the side made for a perfect brunch. Busy and a bit loud inside, but the table outside was perfect for conversation. Only complaint was the bathroom, which was completely out of toilet paper and paper towels.
We had a great experience at Winston’s. The chicken and waffles were excellent, with three large chicken strips, and the breakfast sandwich was also really good. We appreciated the outdoor seating and loved the dog photos on the table numbers. It’s a great restaurant that also gives back to the community.
Exceptional! The food and coffee is so delicious. Winston's was the highlight of my napa trip. The citrus roll was the most delicious pastry I have ever tasted!
So so good! They have Chicken Chorizo which is the perfect balance of original chorizo but less greasy/heavy. The coffees and lattes were also perfection!!
The perfect breakfast spot! Great food menu, amazing looking donuts. Really good for if you have kids! The kids menu was perfect, came with a nice plate, and kids utensils. Friendly service, quick service, and nice casual atmosphere.
