Brasswood Bar + Bakery

We had the pizza and fries after our tasting seession, and they were great. The pizza is cooked right outside in a kiln and brought straight to your table, so you can really tell how fresh it is!

We would rate this higher if possible. We came at 4:30 on a Monday and there were only 2 other tables. Prompt and knowledgeable server Neil who recommended the 1 minute mozzarella, this was served warm at tableside and cut to fit on toasted bread, all drizzled with olive oil. The Ceasar salad was fresh, with whole romaine leaves and subtle but flavorful dressing with hint of lemon. Warm Brussel sprouts salad and wild mushroom pizza rounded out our meal following an afternoon at the wineries. Topped off with the delicious butterscotch panacotta, yum-ness throughout! HIGHLY recommended - amaaazing!!

Marcus and team were amazing. My wife and I were there at a time when things at home were stressful (major hurricane was barreling down on Florida). It was our first time in Napa Valley and I had honestly been stressed about our home and our kids that were still back in Florida. Marcus made us feel like family and simply talked to us and made us comfortable. He didn’t have to take that time but I am truly grateful that he did. The people were absolutely amazing there but that doesn’t change the fact that the environment is also amazing! The mozzarella and heirloom tomatoes are one of the simplest best thing I may have ever eaten but, the stone fire pizza and the pork chop are dishes I will be back for. Napa Valley is wine country but Brasswoods Chardonnay is by far my favorite but all of the wines we tried there were phenomenal. I truly love this place and their team!! Make sure you give team a shot.

Absolutely Outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for an incredible dining experience. The food was nothing short of amazing—every dish was perfectly prepared, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. What truly set this experience apart, though, was the service. Neal, our server, was hands down the best we have ever had at any restaurant! He was engaging, funny, and went above and beyond to make our night special. His energy and attention to detail made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This restaurant has earned a spot at the top of our list, and we will absolutely be back again and again! Highly recommend!

What a perfect setting, to be able to sit outside by a fire, while eating the most delicious, ahi poke bowl ever. Pure perfection! I can’t wait to go back!

We enjoyed the food here. Our server Neil did a very good job. The wine selection was great. The mozzarella was great. The salmon special was delicious. The ribs were just okay and we would not order them again.

Absolutely phenomenal!! Best meal I have had in Napa. Everything we ordered was excellent from the mozzarella toast, rice balls with duck bolognese, crispy duck risotto, scallops to the butterscotch pana cotta - everything was 10/10

Lively ambience with courteous staff . Wait time on Sunday was less than 20 mins . The cauliflower side was the best I have ever had. No FOMO about fries at all. The crispy flounder was done to perfection, but the onion rings were tad bit greasy . The chanterelle pizza left us craving for more . Highly recommend this restaurant when in Napa .

I dropped into Brasswood with a big, hungry group on a Sunday morning after struggling to decide where to have breakfast. We were absolutely delighted to have found this gem. We ordered coffees and breakfast at the counter inside, then spent a few minutes browsing the retail section while our coffee drinks were being prepared. My dirty chai latte was ready a few mins later, and I took it outside to one of the long tables near the fireplace and pizza oven (which wasn't in use early in the morning, but I look forward to trying next time!). The welcoming staff brought out my chilaquiles with avocado and green salsa a short while later. Around the table, the meals and drinks were total hits. Everything was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, and fresh. Most people ordered breakfast burritos or chilaquiles, both of which I definitely recommend, but even the pastries inside looked tasty. Patio is also dog friendly and looks out over a nice courtyard!

Had a pastry and chiliquiles. Very tasty. The people are friendly and the property is beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place for a light breakfast and easy going atmosphere

Really cool property with a nice little outdoor area in front of the Bakery. I can imagine this being a super awesome place to grab a coffee daily if you live nearby. The coffee they serve is more Intelligentsia than Peet's in terms of flavor profile. Acidic and fruit forward. I got the breakfast burrito and it was solid, had fresh pico de gallo in it along with a generous amount of eggs. It was a bit bland though but putting some tapatio on it helped. However, it should have really came with some homemade green or red sauce on the side

Give it 5 stars for design and a very relaxed atmosphere. The same for coffee, not the best and yet really good as part of the "sit and relax" package. Good bakery choices, not a lot but really good quality. Breakfast menu is limitted to only three dishes however they are delisious. Small but very tasty bagle with lox - this is the best bagle I had since I moved out from New York. Breakfast buritos are good, a bit too large but then again, you do not have to finish them :) Anyway, I am there alsmot every weekend morning since it is not as packed with tourists as most of places around here and the food is good.

I stopped by the bakery for a snack after doing some wine tasting. I ordered the mushroom pizza. They don't sell pizza by the slice so I ordered a whole one. It was good for two people. The cheese was creamy and there was a strong truffle taste. I would order this again and not share next time. Haha. I tried the peanut butter cookie. It was kind of dry and I think it would have been better without so many sugar crystals on top. I went on a rainy day, but on a sunny day it looks like it would be a cool place to have a picnic and sit outside. They have a nice fountain I would have loved to get closer to if it wasn't raining.

This review is for the bakery. The whole location is a winery, tasting room, restaurant and bakery! The place is gorgeous and gives off the industrial modern vibes! We stopped by after our trip to Calistoga and grabbed some coffee / quick bite at the bakery. The latte was perfectly done and we loved our apple crumb cake. We sat on the patio by the fire and it was so cozy! Most of their pastries were already sold out by the time we got there so would recommend going early! The cook was making pizzas behind us and it smelt so good! Highly recommend!

Great little restaurant in the valley. This place was recommended by several of our hosts at various tastings. Food was awesome. Everyone recommended we get the "fresh mozzarella thing" as an appetizer. It's not actually on the menu but we ordered and it was delicious. Also split a Tiramisu for desert, it was the best ever!

Excellent food excellent cocktails and amazing wine list... must try. Stone fire pizza and table side bread a must try.

This was a cute little cafe that also has restaurant. The cafe was clean and spacious that also played nice soothing music. The regular croissants and chocolate croissants tasted delicious and were very flaky. It was nice go a quick sweet treat or some to pick up to go for a day full of wine tasting.

I love walking into this place because the ambiance is so rustic and Napa-y. Very cute spot with lots of food and drink options from tea to specialty cocktails! The mushroom pizza is so good if you aren't a fan of red sauce but where the pizza is delicious, the Cesar salad is lacking. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan of wedge salads, but if you're looking for a way to get a quick workout in, look no further- this salad is your go to! Something kinda weird that happened was when they handed me my pizza and when I opened the box, THERE WAS AN EARWIG SQUIRMING AROUND NEAR THE PIZZA. I was so grossed out so I handed the box to the employees to help me with it and they picked off the bug and gave the pizza back to me. They just kinda gave me a weird look LIKE IT WAS MY FAULT THERE WAS A BUG. Otherwise the pizza was delicious.

The interior design was such an aesthetic setup but we decided to sit outside. The panna cotta was quite sweet and the top portion was a some kind of caramel layer that reminded me of brown sugar boba. The iced americano was refreshing and pretty typical. This bakery/cafe is near the restaurant and has a great overall vibe.

I don't even know where to start... we wandered around St. Helena for 20 minutes trying to find a restaurant that didn't have a 45 minute wait when our winery host told us to go here. I feel like I should go back and give that host an extra tip! The food was phenomenal. When our waiter offered us the mozzarella cheese app, I asked him "out of all the things you can think of, that's what you offer me?" with a sarcastic glint. Well, I ate 2. One as an app and one on the side of a Caesar salad. Such a great late lunch, I'm sad it's over.

We were in the area and found this place on Yelp. I think we got here around 11:30am and didn't realize that breakfast stopped at 11am and most pastries were sold out by then :( Their pastries looked really good on Yelp so I was kind of disappointed that we didn't get to try them. Maybe next time! We ended up ordering truffle Parmesan fries and a grilled cheese to share. We didn't realize the grilled cheese also came with a side of fries. Yay more fries! Lol. They had a few tables inside and outdoor seating along the side. The front patio area was for the restaurant and wine tasting. The seats along the side of the bakery were fine and a big secluded from others so it was nice to have some privacy. The lady who rung us up was really nice, patient while we were figuring out what to order, brought our meal all the way to our table which I didn't expect and was nice and friendly overall. The truffle fries tasted super fresh and it went great with the aioli sauce. The grilled cheese was good as well. We would probably be back when we are in the area again.

Great vibe here! Food was delicious! The fire after we ate was so warm! Loved it and that along with the service from Giana was a topper!

Brasswood is our favorite restaurant in the area, we drive over from Sonoma regularly to eat here. The food is wonderful as is the service and ambiance. Fair pricing and their kindness in accommodating my food restrictions not to mention welcoming our well behaved pup all add up to a real stand out place.

Staff at two winery tasting rooms recommended the fresh mozzarella appetizer. It was wonderful!!

Just take my arm. $19 for a Poki bowl. I've attached a photo for reference. Let me tell you why I'm upset. I spent $40+ on 4 items: Poki bowl, iced mocha, cold brew, and cinnamon roll. The Poki bowl. Jesus. Only had a scoop of spicy tuna. Imagine going to those build your own Poki bowls with the tiny scoops. It was that small. The rest was just sauce, avo, greens and whatever. Tasty but I'm not paying for a salad. Iced mocha is just straight chocolate in my mouth. I even asked for less sweet. It would've been ok if it wasn't so frickin sweet. Cold brew was good - so you get 2 stars Cinnamon roll was great! Other than the fact that I now can't pay for my gas to go home. $6. Really. For a cinnamon roll that fit in my small hand.

We stopped by Brasswood Bakery today on our way back from Calistoga and it didn't disappoint. The lawn + garden area is so nice, with a cool transparent-like fountain. 6 ft distance maintained between tables and all staffs wearing masks, it feels very safe and clean. The Bakery setup is very modern and stylish, with a very nice deck overlooking the lawn area. Limited pastry/dessert selection but highly recommend the coconut/chocolate macaroons! Would come back again and try their kitchen and bar.

Easy 5 stars for this all in one spot that offers something for everyone. The food at the restaurant was impeccable. Loved the pasta. They also have a lovely outdoor area, and bakery where you can get to go food. Also a winery where you can do tasting and the guys working there were super friendly. High end but also reasonably priced all things considered. Will definetely go back and consider this a destination. Also, we walked in around 2:30 pm for lunch and were immediately seated with no reservation, though we probably got lucky!

Another one of those spots...you haven't been there, you don't know what you're missing . Fresh baked goods - check Fresh rich coffee- check Most amazing outside seating- check Terrific setting - check Room for your team or family - check Seasonal offerings - check Sandwiches - check Cocktails- check Pastas- check Breakfast or lunch = YES Wine - of course! LOVE this whole place

Place is relax and chill. It was other small shops around to eat, wine tasting... Lemon tart was delicate and perfect amount of sweetness. The crust was baked to perfection. Coffee was strong, but good.

This is a bar bakery cafe. No reservations. They have two large tables inside along with some smaller tables on the side. Food was delicious! We ordered the one minute mozzarella (absolute must!), truffle mushroom pizza, margherita pizza, chicken sandwich, truffle fries along with some cocktails. Everything was well made. Fresh ingredients and the flavors were on point. The cocktails were great (gin and tonic, mimosa and margarita) A nice change up after all the wine. The grounds also has a tasting room and restaurant with more formal dining. However the cafe was perfect for a quick bite before we went on to our next winery! Would definitely come back!

Every time I visit Brasswood bakery the employees are always so nice. They have delicious pastries, and their outside patio is perfect for a fancier breakfast date. With that said you should arrive before 10:30am if you want to try the pastries. They run out by 11ish...highly recommend but giving 4 stars because they made my drink wrong. The barista was nice and fixed it immediately.

Note the Brasswood Bar + Bakery is not the same as the Brasswood Bar + Kitchen. I think some reviewers are getting confused. The Bakery portion is out back behind the restaurant. Head here for more casual fare (think gourmet salads, sandwiches, and a few pastas), good coffee and homemade sweet treats. It's the quintessential Napa Valley "artisan culinary boutique" with fresh, seasonal ingredients and higher than average (and higher than necessary) prices. This is a great place to grab a picnic lunch or, when the weather's nice, sit on their outdoor patio. There are a couple of romantic outdoor fireplaces too, making it tolerable even in chilly weather. The Bakery opens at 8 am until about 5 pm, and it's one of my favorite hidden gems to stop off for an afternoon coffee and cookie. The menu is seasonal but you can find the current offerings online. The cookies and pastries mostly stay the same; I'm partial to the chocolate chip sea salt cookie and a classic espresso or cappuccino (cookies run about $2 and fancy coffees will set you back $3-$6). The scones ($3-$4) are things of beauty, and if the carrot cake (or any cake, for that matter) is on the menu, order it immediately. Ditto for the apple danish! I love how the portion sizes aren't out of control, they are reasonable for a nice snack for one. The service here is S-L-O-W no matter when you arrive or what you order. On my last visit, a cookie to share and two cappuccinos took nearly 15 minutes to be prepared, and we were the only customers in the place! I've only ordered sweets and coffee here and not an entree, but I have to wonder just how long it would take for the kitchen to put out a plate of pasta or a salad. There are some nice communal tables indoors where you can have your snack but outside on the patio is the best. The farmhouse ambience is charming, and the secret's not yet out about this place -- it's a comparable experience to the much more packed Bouchon Bakery in Yountville. Is this as good as Bouchon Bakery? Nah, but it's on par with the CIA Illy Cafe for sure. (NOTHING beats Thomas Keller's Bouchon Bakery). Overall a great, quiet and secluded place to escape from the hustle and bustle of Highway 29's crowded tasting rooms.

We stopped by for coffee and bakery at this place. The coffee was decent, bean was fresh and no not overly extracted. The pastries looked better than the taste... a little disappointed. Love to go back here to give the pizza a try.

I like the bagel with salmon. It was very light and the bagel was toasted in a grill.

Fantastic service, wonderful food and one of the best wine lists around. The service was exemplary, I could not say enough about how well I was treated by Eileen. I would recommend Brasswood if you're going up the valley. Their food and wine program have a symbiotic relationship which makes the restaurant very special.

Just stopped in for coffee! Reasonable prices friendly staff place was very clean besides for the flies. I was going to order a cinnamon roll but the one I wanted had a fly on it just can't go there! Great place to just chill outside on a nice day with a cup of coffee!

Great place. We have dined here twice now and would go back again! The fresh mozzarella is fantastic! The wine selection good and the entrees and desserts were delicious. Scallops a must as is the butterscotch panni cotta!

Fabulous. Request the "special' that's not on the menu. Robert, the mixologist is wonderful. He will prepare something exquisite, alcoholic or not. Mine was with pomegranate juice and beautiful edible flowers. Can't wait to return.

Went here for a work coffee meeting. I had the coconut iced tea and a croissant and it was so good and the atmosphere was pleasant and enjoyable.

Stopped in while doing a wine tasting on the property. Delicious cannoli and butterscotch pudding. Excited to go back to try more delicious baked goods! Beautiful grounds and lots of outdoor seating.

After camping for a few days my partner and I were ready to reemerge back to civilization. After some research we decided to check this place out and I am so happy we did! Right when we stepped on the grounds we were greeted not once but twice; making sure we were not lost, welcoming us to the place etc. It was so nice to have that warm hospitality even when we were in our exploration mode. This establishment has a casual cafe, restaurant, wine tasting rooms and private tastings. The cafe vibe continued the friendly vibe and the food was delicious. I had the smoked salmon bagel sandwich and the beet salad. The in house bagel was the perfect texture of perfectly toasted exterior and soft pillowy interior. The beet salad was delicious with the fresh arugula and goat cheese. My only complaint about the salad is they didn't prep some of the beets properly- biting into those stringy roots is no fun. They have lovely outside seating that looks out onto their well maintained property. If you are ever in this area I would definately recommend you come check it out! Until next time!

Lattes were terrible - watery, no crema, little espresso flavor (in 12 oz with 2 and 3 shots). Baked good were quite nice -- pain au chocolate was okay, but the apple galette, brown butter donut and peanut butter cookie were all outstanding (cut them into smaller pieces for sharing). Nice atmosphere - were there on a cold and windy morning, but would be nice in different weather to sit outside (we took ours to go).

I came here on a Saturday afternoon. There was plenty of parking. They weren't packed. Our driver recommended this place for a quick bite. They have a very scenic and relaxing set up that is shared with the main restaurant area and tasting place. We arrived and they had a variety of tasty treats, however they were out of basic items on a Saturday winter afternoon. They had no chips, limited treats etc. We got our sandwiches in a timely manner and departed being hungry 10 minutes later because lack of a side to fully fill you up and the portion of the sandwich was small. The staff seemed nice to my party and we are appreciative, however we were drinking tons of wine, were on a time limit, and super hungry. We came to this place because we had limited time and figured it was easiest to get a quick bite being it was a bakery then go to the next wine place. I don't recommend for the small portions, lack of options to eat, etc. When we come back for our trip next year I will skip this place unless they seem to have drastic changes.

I'm a frequent costumer at the bakery where I order a vanilla latte and the coffee is always good, but the costumer service is very poor and the staff is unwelcoming. Makes for an awkward/uncomfortable service.

Amazing as always. The wine is phenomenal- And pairings cannot be beat. Looking forward to finally dining inside again.

I absolutely love this place. Butterscots is a great compliment to the tasting room at Cairdean Estate. Can't go wrong with their great pastry selection. Also love their coffee.

The food and service at Butterscots are worthy of just three stars - not bad but nowhere near outstanding - but its location at the Cairdean Estate with beautifully-kept grounds bumps it up to four. I had the white chocolate bread pudding, butterscotch lime croissant, and Tahitian vanilla filled doughnut. On paper, the names alone sound so delicious, but all were just ok, nothing out of this world. The ambiance, though, totally makes up for it. They have a little bit of seating inside as well as a patio right outside. I recommend sitting out on the patio which is super cute and has a great view of the grounds. It wasn't too busy on the day we went which made it a nice, relaxing experience :)

We loved this place. The ribs were the best I've ever had and the service was great. The restaurant is lovely, we sat outside on the patio, and the server recommended some exceptional wines. We will definitely return.

This review is for the bakery. Pretty place and perfect place to sit down and have a coffee, however the customer service at the bakery is subpar. The baristas are not friendly enough to help customers, and instead give attitude and are annoyed when you ask any questions. I ordered a drink and the barista delivered it to me. I thanked them, and instead of a smile or "Of course!" I was returned with a glare. I have heard similar experiences as well from friends. Please treat customers with respect and decency.

This is a nice looking little place that kind of feels more like a gift shop for people like my mom than it feels like a place that I'd want to get coffee or some deviled eggs. But that's what I did anyway. The location is a little out of the way but that's fine. Most things in the area are tucked away. Everything was going well until some important lady came in and basically trumped my existing order as she was served by the one guy behind the counter. He started making my coffee, she walked in, he stopped and started serving her, and then I had to wait and ask him to finish my coffee after she received part of her order. He went over and finished my coffee and then she tried to take it. No, lady! Wait your turn, this is my coffee! Then I had to practically beg him to serve me the deviled eggs. Look, I get it. Important ladies are important ladies. The guy behind the counter knew her by name so she was probably a regular. But unless they have some sort of front-of-line pass like Universal Studios, I don't care if he knows her social security number...she gets to order when I am done ordering. Not a big deal. I wasn't in a rush. But it made me feel like I'm not important. Little did he know that I was a YELP ELITE! I am super important!!! On the Internet. Still, this place is nice and you should check it out when you're in town. Just don't be surprised if you are treated like a second class citizen. I spent the rest of my afternoon wiping my tears with the dollar bills that I spent in other establishments. I also contracted a nasty skin rash from rubbing all of that dirty money on my face. I don't recommend this, just use a Kleenex.

I recently did an event at Brasswood and it turned out great! Karin and her team are amazing. They are super easy to work with, very professional and very attentive to detail . Karin was very responsive and sent the proposal and quote right away. The event gallery was beautifully set up and the food was amazing! Everyone loved the gallery and the beautiful Brasswood location! I can't say enough great things about Karin and her team!!!! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful Napa valley venue.

Butterscots Bakery is in an unlikely venue- the former location of the St. Helena Factory Outlets. It's still in the process of being tidied up, fancied up, and renovated. It has a beautiful courtyard with a unique fountain. Despite being on Highway 29, it's tucked into an elegant little nook. They make a great beet salad&they have a great variety of non-alcoholic drinks, like orange San Pellegrino. The rest of their selection looks luscious, from sizable cinnamon rolls to breakfast sandwiches with fried eggs on them. The only downside are their problematic front doors. Other than that, Butterscots is a welcome addition to the Valley!

I come a few times a week for coffee and snacks. Wanted to give it another shot for my lunch break food, I ordered the veggie flatbread, only sandwich option for vegetarians ,for $12 and was disappointed, portion was so small and thrown together avoid veggie flatbread!

So you've been sampling some great wines on Hwy 29 and want to have a nice breakfast/lunch/snack and continue the experience. This is the place to stop. The menu continually changes, but always includes a wide variety of sandwiches and salads. Ingredients are fresh and the baked goods are made onsite. We usually have a sandwich (roasted veggies is my favorite or picked turkey) and a salad. Lots of nice drinks and good coffee (though I wish they made their own Iced Tea). Save room for dessert the onsite bakery makes some great items. The atmosphere is relaxed. Seating is provided inside but you want to eat outdoors on the covered patio. Service is great. Order and pay at the counter, then take your seat. Real plates, silverware, and cloth napkins. The real secret is that (until this review gets noticed) there has never been more than a few people eating here. Plenty of free parking. The reason is that Butterscots is located between busy Saint Helena and busy Calistoga on HWY 29. But it also means you have to pay attention or you will pass right by. Look for the sign for "Cairdean Estate". Did you miss out by arriving late? Never fear you are in great luck. Right next door is The Farmer & The Fox, a great place for dinner.

Beautiful restaurant at Brasswood's winery compound. I remembered this place as a high end outlet store complex, and they did a great job converting it. The food at the restaurant was tasty...start with the fresh mozzarella. My son had the rib special; the meat was fall off the bone and the corn bread was sweet as smoky. My wife had the New York steak; good size portions. Dessert...panna cotta and the creme brûlée were both light and satisfying. The staff was friendly, attentive, and the service was well paced.

Beautfiul little spot for coffee and a sweet treat. The grapefruit & pistachio donuts are my go to. Everything is fresh and delicious from this place. I've had way too many pastries and a few small lunch items from here. I have enjoyed everything so far. Great service, clean and beautiful!

This used to be a great casual place to hangout when it was Butterscots. Now it's something else. The outdoor comfy chairs have been replaced with large, hard metallic tables and chairs, the menu has shrunk, and the only person friendly was one person who used to work there when it was Butterscots.

This is by far the nicest place to have your Flying Goat coffee in the morning out by the fire pit surrounded by beautiful furnishings. Not your average coffee shop in the valley. You can have a wine picnic out back and or dinner with the old Tra Vigne group at the new restaurant Brasswood! We struck gold here! It's not just a destination for wine tasting which is the real high light! Great wines, beautiful tasting rooms and the nicest staff. You can spend the day here literally between the wine tour which is state of the art. There is a great store with fine goods, buy a cigar which my hubby likes and a glass of scotch while I shopped. Then we find out there is an art gallery with fabulous modern art from artist all over the world. Cairdean was a great find and a beautiful place to visit. I highly recommend the Cab Franc
