La Cheve Bakery and Brews

Amazing breakfast in one of the oldest historical buildings in the area. Food was delicious and the pastries were even better. Great coffee selection and variety of tasty craft beer selections.

Very cute place but always have a long line But we did a take out and sit right behind the restaurant and that save us a lot of time THE FOOD IS AMAZING The chilaquiles is a must ! Beans are super flavorful and creamy the chips taste AMAZING and definitely get the pastry!

A beautiful, intimate and historical establishment. It’s some of the best Mexican food I’ve had. The quality of the chilaquiles is superb and with good depth. The corn pancakes are tasty. And of-course the coffee and various pastries are super fun here especially the guava pan dulce. Can’t wait do come back. I recommend getting there before 830am as the line gets huge afterwards!

Authentic Mexican food. Rich flavors. It hits on all cylinders. The food, atmosphere, and locale are the stars here. Staff was friendly and helpful. My biggest complaint about the service (and I don't know why they do it this way, but) is you order your food at the counter when entering. They do not seat you. You order all your entreés, appetizers, and drinks first. Pay and tip. I didn't like that. Why am I tipping when I haven't experienced the service? Update: The place is a historical landmark, almost 175 years old. It's not your regular type of kitchen, and it is why they run it this specific way. The menu is enticing and is worth the experience. It gets busy, so you know it's a local favorite. You can tip later.

Great Chili Relleno Burrito. Oldest standing house/building in Napa. Place was quite busy at noon. Good thing we were there before the rush. Order at the counter. Pay. And the order will be brought to your table. Recommend trying.

On Sunday, I visited a highly-rated restaurant with a significant waitlist. Staff thoughtfully provided umbrellas for shade while we queued, enabling us to enjoy pre-ordered beverages and pastries. The churro martini was exquisite, and for my meal, I chose the Mexican scramble, chile verde benedict, and concha French toast. The chicken chile verde was exceptionally flavorful, spicy, and delicious. The Mexican scramble featured chorizo, eggs, and house-made blue corn tortillas. The French toast was a unique and highly enjoyable variation.

We only recently heard of this restaurant in Napa. They told us it is the oldest building in Napa, built in 1845. We waited outside in line for 35 minutes. Not really too bad. You're advised by the staff that you can order drinks and pastries online and pick them up at the side of the restaurant. We did and it was fast. It made the wait much easier. When you get inside, you order and pay for food immediately and are seated either inside or outside. The atmosphere is very cool! We had Chilequiles, French Toast, and Mexican Eggs Benedict. All were superb. They were delivered to us very fast! We also tried the Mimosa flight. 4 different mimosas. Everything was delicious and the servers were very friendly and helpful. So, it's a long line to get in, but it's worth every minute!

authentic Mexican flavor, each dish is made with very good quality and seasoning, if you visit this place you should be prepared to wait a little or maybe a lot since it is a very popular place, it is a small and cozy place it reminds me the house of Grandma in Mexico, the decoration is so beautiful, everyone is very friendly, the drinks are unique and delicious, 100% recommended. There is not much parking available, you may have to park somewhere else and walk there.

Visited here for my nieces birthday and it did not disappoint! This place gets pretty busy, we came early and glad we did, we were seated within 30 minutes but while we waited we ordered a variety of mouth watering pastries on their online ordering site. The concha filled with guava cream was my favorite! Their concha's was very moist and flavorful! Their cocktails were flavorful and strong! The food was delicious, there was a great selection! The restaurant had an authentic ambiance and their host was very friendly and informative. Highly recommend this restaurant and we look forward to coming again to try other menu items!

After seeing this place pop up on Instagram/Tik Tok I decided to bookmark and check it out for my Napa trip. Came here on a Monday afternoon for brunch. The place was packed and thankfully a car was pulling out of the parking lot. Parking is hard to find, since there aren't many available spaces. Went in and was confused as if we are supposed to wait for the hostess to get us a table or how it all works. Apparently, you have to grab the menu browse it, order at the register and then find a table where to sit. They have several tables throughout the restaurant (indoor/outside). What we ordered and rating: drinks: -Cajeta Cafe (iced): delicious iced coffee with cajeta. 5/5 -La Lochita Bailando (hot) this drink comes with rum. if ordered hot, it will be strong. 2/5 -regular coffee 3/5 food: -Chilaquiles: order the chilaquiles with green sauce, over easy eggs, with a side of beans. 4/5 -Burrito de Chorizo: Big Burrito with eggs, chorizo, and potatoes. Potatoes were a bit hard, but overall pretty good burrito. 3.5/5 -Omelet y Pan: this meal came with mexican french toast it was pretty good. big omelet portion and side of potatoes. 4/5 Overall, this was a pretty good restaurant. Would come here again. Also, customer service was excellent.

The food was absolutely worth the wait. Line goes out the door, it could be a timely wait. I suggest getting there early. The restaurant has a cute homey vibe if you decide to dine in. You can also do to go bakery good and drinks. Highly suggest it! You don't want to miss out on the concha. We've been back twice already. The flan French toast is so smooth and delicious.

My partner and I have driven almost 2 hours to go eat at La Cheve twice now. That's how you know this place is good! I recommend getting there super early as they're most popular dishes tend to sell out quick! While we were standing in line, we were fortunate enough to meet the owner who gave us some history and background on the restaurant and it's location! La Cheve is a beautiful restaurant filled with so much culture and yummy food and drinks! I also enjoyed how you can order drinks /pastries, while you wait in line. The first time we went, we waited in line for about an hour, so it definitely came in handy!

If you come here be prepared to wait. For a long time. I reallllyy wanted to love this place. However I drove an hour to get here and spent another 20 minutes trying to find parking. We waited 1.5 hours to get inside. While waiting I tried their cafe de olla it was alright but it did the job while we stood outside for 1.5 hours. Now the service was okay, when we were at the front the girl left us for like 5 minutes saying she'd be back and then took our order. Which I thought was strange, but alright I guess. Although there is seating everywhere the outside is pretty full and it is first come first serve basis. The DJ was a nice touch to the morning. Now I tried the mollete and it was good but the fries needed a tad more salt. IMO.. The alcoholic beverage was pretty good. My friend got their chilaquiles and said they were descent. With that being said is it worth the 1.5 hour wait every-time? I don't know I don't think I would do it again. Either way if aesthetics is your thing, and you don't mind waiting this is a cool spot for you.

-updating review because I guess the other pictures didn't post. Small and cozy establishment. Free self service water around the corner-

I am obsessed with La Cheve. It was everything I wanted and more. I started with a Mexican mocha and it was fantastic. I will order that again next time! I got the huevos rancheros and added chorizo. Best decision I made!! The salsa was spicy (in a good way! I like spice). They are so friendly and gave my kids stickers. It gets very busy on the weekends so I'm glad we got there early! We were able to get a table right away. I will be back every time I'm in Napa!!

La cheve has it all!! The vibes and the quality. If you're looking for a beautiful breakfast spot close to the Napa valley with just the right taste of traditional Mexican breakfast with the atmosphere to then definitely a must. It gets busy so plan accordingly! But service is amazing and it's great for celebrating things such as a birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day or just for a good cafe de olla. Great prices too!

To start, the restaurant/ bakery is located in the oldest building in Napa (I think). The location is called the old adobe house and I can't think of a more fitting occupant than La Cheve. Their authenticity, their vibe and their hospitality. Then there is the quality of the food. Delicious, no wonder the line is never ending, especially on the weekends. No worries, though, you can tell they continuously think and strategize about how to make the experience better. They are very organized and very attentive. I have never had a long wait for food as the back of the house is on it and efficient!! Now, The food....I always get something different to make sure I am trying all their options. And I sample my wife's selections too. They have a menu that provides a decent balance between savor and sweet mixed with authentic Mexican food and their creative culinary twists. Cafe's and cocoa's are all good. And, they have mimosas. I come here frequently for the past few years and notice they maximize seating options and do their best at shielding you from the elements while sitting in the awesome patio. If I had anything to say about La Cheve, it would be the parking. They provide adequate parking for the average place; BUT La Cheve is beyond average so parking is limited.

Breakfast date in Napa and stopped at this gem. Super cute Mexican breakfast spot. Parking can be limited in tbe lot but there are street parking,restaurant is a little small in the inside so be prepared to wait awhile. You go to the register to order your food and pastries before taking a seat. They will take your food to your table. Our food did come pretty quickly. We ordered some fish ceviche (tasted fresh and yummy),chorizo breakfast burrito, tres leches pancakes (delish!!) and some pastries to take home. Food was good pastries were ok.

Line for this restaurant around 1pm is still long, so wait to be seated for maybe 30mins to an hour. Luckily I went to order the pasties as to-go at the north end of their restaurant. Super nice staff here. The pastries were pretty damn amazing. I really enjoyed the concha and croissant. Croissant isn't as flaky, but the tastiness is there for you. Ambiance is great. Fun decor, bathroom is great and clean.

WOW. Amazing customer service!! Parking can be a bit tricky as this restaurant is packed! And for excellent reasons. I was on my way home from Auburn and decided to take a quick detour. After typing in "best Mexican restaurants near me" into Yelp (thanks friends!) I came across this yummy looking restaurant. Form the street I saw this beautiful outdoor patio. There are some instructions as you enter inside. Read them! It helps ease of service on the kitchen and the staff. I ordered the guava and cream cheese stuffed danishes, the vegetarian tostadas, and a cardamom kombucha. Everything was delicious, the outside was lovely and every interaction with the team was so kind and gracious. I will be back.

We came in a Saturday morning around 10 am and waited in line for about 45 minutes but what's nice is that they do let you order drinks and pastries for while your waiting. Once you get inside you order your food at the counter and they bring it to your table. For food I ordered the flan French toast and it was as good as I anticipated. I loved it, it was nice and crispy on the outside and not super sweet. We also ordered the asada and eggs which had a lot of flavor and came with 2 jalapeño biscuits. It doesn't come with salsa but we asked for some and the red salsa here is really good. For drinks we got a Michelada and a coffee flight. I was slightly disappointed with the coffee flight because one was actually I hot chocolate and I just would have preferred another coffee. Michelada was ok it seemed more watery than others I've had. Now for them pastries.... The Arroz con leche stuffed concha was top notch, like I can eat these all the time. It was my favorite pastry. The churro Cronut was dry, I won't be getting any more of those. The guava cream cheese danish... I was so excited for this one but when I at it there was no guava taste at all and the cream cheese was kinda curdled looking. I had such high hopes for this one but again will not be ordering again. The Nutella concha croissant was pretty good. Honestly was the only other thing in the box I would eat again. So for me the pastries i guess were a little bit of a bummer. And for everything we ordered with the drinks and 2 meals it was $103.00. Our service was great and once we ordered and sat down our food came out pretty fast. I highly recommend to try this place at least once in your life as it is quite the experience. I would say it's like the DisneyLand of Mexican brunch.

I first saw this spot on TikTok, but my cousin passes by all the time, so we finally decided to check it out. If you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine with a nostalgic, old-town feel, this is the place! We came on a Monday morning, and I ordered the Omelette y Pan with cornmeal pancakes, while my cousin got the red chilaquiles. We also couldn't resist trying the guava danish, a concha, hibiscus lemonade, and a side of guac. Let me tell you--you can taste the ancestors in the food! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with love. And the pastries? So soft and delicious! They have both indoor and outdoor seating with heaters , but keep in mind they don't take reservations. Depending on when you go, the wait can be long, but takeout is an option if you don't want to wait. The customer service was amazing--we were greeted right in the parking lot by an employee, and everyone we interacted with was so warm and welcoming, even calling us family. We had a great experience and will definitely be back to try more! (Would be 5 stars but our food took a lil while to come out)

I don't understand why this place doesn't have more reviews. This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to in California. I haven't had this good of Mexican food outside of Mexico. 100/10 stars!! So expect a wait. We came on a Sunday for brunch at 10 and we had to wait almost an hour, but it was totally worth it! We wanted a traditional mexican breakfast, so we didn't order any french toasts or pancakes, none of that! We ended up getting the chilaquiles, it comes with red or green sauce and we opted for red. It came with the most flavorful refried beans and a perfectly fried egg on top. We also ordered the mulitas, which was a dish we've never tried before but sounded amazing. It was basically a super crispy, closed, huevos rancheros with chorizo and egg inside. That first bite was .. WOW. You can taste the authenticity in every bite, full of mexican spices and flavors. I'm not mexican, but if I were and I went to my abuelita's house for dinner, this is what I expect it to taste like. We also ordered the mimosa flight. The hibachi and cucumbers were our favorites.

Waited for two hours for absolutely less than average food. There are a ton of restaurants in Napa and this just doesn't cut it. If you do wait in line for an hour maybe ordering drinks and getting drunk would help the taste.

Heard so much about this place and wanted to try it out. I think it's WAY overrated. For starters you need to order your food while in line, one of the items on the menu that I ordered was carne asada with eggs & biscuits. I was expecting a nice slice of carne asada and I even ordered extra meat. When I received my order it came with chopped up carne asada for tacos!!! lol I looked at it and said WTH?? Lol... began eating and meat was some what cold, the top of the food was warm as if it was sitting under a food heater biscuits were hard, had to order tortillas and they only bring you one lol... I had to mention that I like to pay for 2 more tortillas so I can have enough for my breakfast lol..Service was ok, nothing to write home about. Establishment was way too small, I wouldn't recommend this place and I know I won't be returning. Better off going to jalapeños in America Canyon.

This place is amazing! The food is so delicious! The green pork with eggs and homemade English muffins poached eggs and potatoes was so fantastic. Fresh food with generous portions. Staff is very helpful and parking on property

Be prepared to stand in line for quite some time when you go, but make sure you order a drink for while you're waiting (we got mimosas)! The food was definitely worth the wait, and you can also order pastries to go while you're in line if you want to get a head start. The chilaquiles were tasty in my opinion, I do wish they were smothered in more sauce though. The texture of the chips upheld the entire time which was nice. The concha french toast was a pretty unique addition to brunch since it's something I'd never tried, and it was the perfect end to our meal! The whole restaurant felt very homy, with beautiful flowers outside!

Fun fact: this is apparently the oldest building in Napa according to the waiter, which was super neat to discover upon coming here. The building is literally so cute and quaint! The service was really great as everyone was very attentive to you throughout breakfast! The food was incredible and authentic! The baked goods were some of the best concha's I've ever tasted! This is a must try if you're in Napa! Couldn't recommend it enough!

Be warned, increased popularity means increased wait. I've had to wait before and knew there'd be a wait for a Sunday brunch but 90 minutes (at 11:30) to be seated definitely threw a wrench in the plans for the rest of the day - missed out reservation afternoon activities. Still, I appreciated that the restaurant offered umbrellas to protect customers from shade while waiting and the owner came out with amplified sound to greet customers and explain what to expect as well as to explain that because they are in the oldest building in Napa, the kitchen is smaller than their dining area (hence the wait). Once seated, the food came out rather quickly and, by that time, I had definitely worked up an appetite. I can't go wrong with my favorite, the mollete. I decided to add avocado this time and while I liked it, the amount of avocado I got for the extra cost means I can do without it next time unless craving avocado. My husband got the special of the day, the birria benedict. The serving of meat was appreciated but the flavors were giving more mole than birria and not what he wanted or expected so not for him. My friend got the chile verde benedict and while it was spicier than your typical chile verde and too spicy for her, it was a nice amount of spice for me. Twas a pleasant surprise to see that their drink and pastry game has been stepped up. Feel as if previously their drinks and pastries looked better than they tasted but feel like each bite and sip was thoroughly enjoyed. Despite the wait, oh and the pain that is parking, I still think 5 stars are deserved and will be back and just plan to arrive earlier in the day. There was still a line/wait at 2, shorter.

Come prepared to wait! But it is worth it!!! Staff is super nice and the food was delicious. The ceviche and the chili verde Benedicto had a little kick that was perfect.

1-5 stars. Overall service experience: 4 Cleanliness: 5 Noise level: 4 Ambience Decor and Atmosphere: 5 Food. Coffee quality: 5 Hot sauce bonus!- Cholula Chiliquiles- Verde bonus! Flavor: 5 Presentation: 5 Value for money: ($18.50) 4 Ariana comments on meal: it's absolutely delicious and plenty of food but there is no meat. Mexican scramble- Flavor: 5 Presentation: 5 Value for money: 5 Alexanders comments on meal: considering it has serrano peppers and chorizo, you would expect it to be overly heavy and savory. But it's almost sweet since there are delicious caramelized onion pieces in it. Boozy morning bun: Flavor: 5 Alex and Ariana notes on meal: we both agree that boozy morning bun is one of the best pastries we've ever had. Guava concha: Flavor: 5 Alex and Ariana notes on meal: The most delicious and delicate beautifully baked concha we've ever had Final comment: if you are staying in Napa you HAVE TO come in the morning for breakfast.

Like so many others, I have been wanting to come here for a long time and finally had the chance to after my boyfriend and I finished our float spa. Service: We arrived around 11:15 a.m. and were met with a line around the restaurant. From reading reviews we were prepared to wait so that didn't bother us. We were greeted by the host outside who spoke in English and Spanish which I really appreciated. She gave us a little history on the location, how ordering works and the approximate time we would wait based on where we were in line. We were given an estimate of about 1:30-1:45 minutes. She suggested for those of us waiting to order drinks/pastries and pick them up at the side window. They also has umbrellas for us waiting in the sun and some seating. Overall the service was outstanding and some of the best we've experienced. Food: While we waited in line we ordered 2 drinks and 2 pastries. With a 15% tip the total came out to $48.. oh man that threw me for a loop. Be prepared to spend some money here for their pastries, food and drinks. We got the churro cronut, the Nutella bear claw, the Horchata Zapateado and the Uncle Wigs. The pastries were good, nothing spectacular. What I'd expect from a pastry. And the drinks were OK. My boyfriend wasn't a huge fan of the Horchata Zapateado, he said it tasted more like rum that had a shot of horchata rather than actually tasting like a horchata drink. But I think that is what to expect from a brunch place. My drink was also OK. It was cute and came with a sticker but it wasn't anything to write home about. After over 1.5 hours in line we finally got to order. We got 2 of the Pollo mole specials, 1 La Llorona margarita, 1 coke, 1 ceviche and 1 of the elote appetizers. The food came out quickly and fresh! Ceviche 5/5 super fresh, delicious and well proportioned as an appetizer for 2. Elore: 4/5 this was not my favorite but my boyfriend enjoyed it a lot and it also was a decent proportion for 2 people as an app. Pollo con Mole: 3/5 Came with tortillas and rice. I wasn't really impressed by this dish. For the time we waited and the $25 price point, I think I expected the food to blow me away. But it didn't. The chicken piece appeared big but there wasn't that much meat on it. Enough for 2 tacos. The mole was flavorful but you don't get full from mole. Rice was fluffy but nothing to get excited about. Overall we agreed if we hadn't eaten the pastries and appetizers earlier this entree portion would leave us wanting so much more. Overall we spent nearly $160 for 2 entrees, 2 appetizers, 2 pastries, 2 cocktails and a soda. For this price we would expect to spend this at a sit down restaurant for 2 not a fast dining casual brunch spot. Ambiance: indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of shade and water stations. Cute decor. Nothing much else to say. Overall, I feel like this place is very popular because of the stellar presentation of their food and drinks on social media but it falls very flat of expectations. Perhaps that is one con of being so popular on social media.. I went in expecting to be blown away and I was left feeling underwhelmed. We won't be coming here again, especially with an almost 2 hour wait. I think for the experience, it may be worth coming here once but just come with realistic expectations.

Came here for brunch. The line can get long because it is so popular. The food is fresh and comes out quick too. I was very pleased with what I ordered. I ordered the special Carne en su Jugo. It was to die for. So tasty and spicy just how I like it. Order it if it is offered The mimosas are flavorful and definitely recommend the mango one. Get the ceviche, some of their baked goods, and the omelette. Loved this place. Me and my friends visited twice while we were there.

Omgggggg this place is not just a hype. It's truly something special ! From the customer service , to the decor to the food ! I ordered my concha's super early because your girl was not risking it . Picked it up once I got there later in the day . Our Meal was so delicious . Bomb chilaquiles!! My horchata/coffeeeee was so good not super sweet hit the spot . The watermelon shooter was strong the cheesecake! Omg get it just get it . The conchas were so soft and delish . I'm bringing my family and friends here

Went for brunch and it didn't disappoint. The burrito de chile rellenos was amazing, great flavor .. I didn't have to add anything to it. Big portions and it was delicious.. I had to take some home..my fiancé got the carne asada and eggs and he loved it. The jalapeño biscuits are so delicious, def ask for those .. overall great place .. you do have to stand in line and order at a register but it's worth the wait and the food comes out fast .. and you can order Mexican pastries to go

Great bakery options. I enjoyed the beautifully crafted and homemade designs of the pastries. Breakfast was fresh. I enjoyed the dj music and for fast casual it wasn't too bad of a wait. It was a 45 minute wait but it seemed like they never ran out of seating. It was clean and everyone worked as a team to get the people seated. The checked on us continuously. I'd say extra restrooms would be a great add. Other than that I can't wait to go back again.

Ok easy. Delicious. Dog friendly!! So old school cool!!! Is it off the beaten path a little yes but worth it. Margarita was really good but the entire menu screams Mexican and old school delicious.

Cheves is one trendy spot to definitely check out ! Baked goods are delicious, and sell out super fast, sometimes by noon. Make sure to get there early or order curbside so you don't miss out. Fresa shortbread is amazing! It's almost like a shortbread cookie biscuit,Not too sweet. Highly recommend their concha's stuffed with arroz con leche Breakfast menu is pretty basic aside from their specials. Would personally prefer more options for breakfast/ brunch. Very small cottage, outdoor seating is nice. Slightly confusing at first, make sure to grab their paper menu before entering.

Love the food, the building service and ambience amazing place the oldest building in Napa

We were prepared to wait in line from what we heard. Parking is a bit tricky. However, While we wait a hostess came around letting us know what the wait would look like and how we were able to order bakery items and drinks in the mean time. Once we get inside, you order and shortly after your food comes out. Chorizo burrito- 10/10 Concha French Toast- 8/10 Chilaquiles (red)- 9/10 La Lochita- 10/10 Cafe de olla- 8/10 Love the historical background to the place, Mexican music a with great customer service, every employee is very attentive to your needs. Lives up to the hype ! Taste & Experience wise.

If you drive through Napa you'll see La Cheve most likely with a line out the door and a patio full of people. We were able to arrive before the brunch rush and ordered quickly. The difficult part is deciding which pastries you want to eat or take with you. The staff was super friendly and provided great reccos for pastries. They have a variety of classics like chilaquiles or new fun twists such as the concha french toast. Definitely making this a regular place during trips to Napa.

The chilaquiles with verde salsa are nourishing for the soul. For fellow travelers looking for the best breakfast in town, you found it. Run, don't walk!

Wow worth the hype! Thanks yelpers! It is a wait, we came at 11am Saturday and about an hour before we got the head of the line to order. Luckily they have a togo (on the side of the building by the kitchen) you can order online via QR code for drinks and cocktails. We enjoyed the Uncle wigs (oj tamarind syrup n tequila) and LA Lochita Bailando (horchat coffee n tequila (ran out of rum). Also ordered a variety of bakery and our fave was the Churro donut balls. Oggling the menu, drinks n baked goods plus some nice photo ops made the 1 hour wait go fast. Cynthia was awesome answering our questions!! Once inside you order first take a number abd site down. you get your own water. Lots of seating outside. Ordered another round of drinks YOLO! - Mimosa flights - Uncle Wigs - Iced LA Lochita Bailando Each dish was yummy!!! Rich and authentic flavors!! Ceviche - 10/10 so yummy! Multi de Chorizo - 10/10 chorizo was perfect with the crunchy Tostada melted cheese and eggs. Chiliquiles 10/10 - a favorite for good reason.. the surprise was the beans were flavored well and shared the plates so had the beans with other dishes Chili verde Benedicto 9/10 - sauce was so good!!!. 1 point off lackluster potatoes.. we left most of on the plate. Service was friendly! Ambience was unique and fun!

A cute spot with delicious Mexican brunch items, none of which can go wrong. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking is right on their lot. Service was great, they kept checking up on us and making sure our waters were refilled. They were very patient as we ordered because we just couldn't decide what we wanted to eat. We got their taco plate, chilaquiles, chile verde benedicto, elote (!!!), and mimosa flight. Everything was 5/5. Jam packed with amazing flavor, just the right kind of heat (they also have an assortment of different hot sauces), lovely texture, and beautiful presentation. Would definitely visit again!

What a cute place! The line was incredibly long, but it was worth the wait. I didn't order any alcohol but had the Jamaica with lemonade and it was very refreshing. As you can see, the portions were big... probably enough to feed 2 people w one plate. The food had great flavors and it did taste like authentic Mexican food. I could not stop eating the guacamole - it had a nice little kick. The chips went well with it too as they weren't too skinny so it's not like each chip broke when picking it up. Now, that I would come back for and just eat 2 orders of ha!

We were just passing by and saw a long line out the door and so many cars so we had to turn around and see what the hype was about. We waited almost an hour but the system they had was super well organized. There were still many seats open inside but I guess everyone chose to sit outside. You could have ordered drinks and pastries on the side while you wait in line otherwise you have to wait till you get to the front to order them be seated. The food didn't take long and everything was super tasty. The flan French toast and the asada and eggs were the perfect balance of sweet and savory and the cheddar and jalapeño biscuit were so fresh. We were too full to eat the pastries we got but we had them the next day and they still tasted fresh and soft I was suprised!!! The only down fall was the waiting in line but once you got to the front everything was quick.

Food was amazing and very authentic when it comes to flavor. We ordered Chilaquiles Verdes 'and huevos rancheros. They are both great options. We also got two of their house made pan dulce (concha's) so good and soft. They have great service and they even suggested a couple items on their menu. The only item, that we didn't care for was the horchata with alcohol. If you're looking for an alcoholic beverage, I suggest you get the Pajarete. You cannot go wrong with that choice with a combination of hot chocolate tequila, it was delicious.

Hands down the best brunch place in Napa! Since it's the best be prepared to wait in line and have troubles parking, best way to avoid this is to get there early. You order at the counter then seated in the actual restaurant which has plenty of outdoor seating as well as places inside under the AC. Service was great, food came out quickly, the only issue is the wait time. I would love to see them expand to a second location.

3.5/5 I had been meaning to try this place but every time I drove by it was either packed or closed, so be sure to check the hours of operation. Unfortunately, it's one of those places that seem "it's for the gram". Cute little mural and picture worthy beer/mimosa flights but did not live to my expectations. The restaurant is walk-in only with no reservations. Showed up around 945 am and had to wait for about 45 min. You wait in line and order at the register when it's your turn and then find an open seat either inside or in the patio. I can't justify spending $40 on a coffee, pastry, and breakfast meal for one person. Aside from the price, the place looks rundown and a bit dingy - you either sit inside in the dark or you sit outside in the dirt. For the food, it was okay. I was excited to find out they make their English muffins in-house so I geared towards ordering the Eggs Benedict but I make better at home by far. However, my friend did enjoy her French toast and coffee! It's one of those places that you can try and decide for yourself if it's a skip or slam type of place.

I first learned of La Cheve from attending a Yelp Elite experience around Halloween/El Dia de Los Muertos. Everyone here was so nice , the food, my treat, and coffee was delicious. I had every intention to come back...,but, ya know life has other plans LOL. Continuing the birthday festivities (I celebrate my birthday all February, every year! :) ) I treated myself to brunch at La Cheve today (Monday)! First of all, can we take a moment to appreciate that this restaurant serves brunch ALLLLL DAY!!?!?! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day... eating breakfast food anytime of the day is my thing! Second, its Mexican food served for brunch!! Yess!!! Third, can we also appreciate this restaurant being women owned?!?? *Claps and cheers* I swooped in to Napa to La Cheve around 10:45am. There were quite a few open parking spots AND no long line!! Last time I came, that line wrapped around that building!! Whew! I grabbed a menu that was in a basket and started browsing while in line. The custom here is you wait in line to order, pay, and then choose your table (if you're dining in). Personally, I like this system. That frees up the staff to prepare the food and wait on the customers. This cuts down on the wait time for your food, as your meal has already been ordered. When I made it to the register, I ordered the huevos rancheros, concha french toast, and la lochita bailando (drink). I was given a number and sat at a table outside. My drink was brought to me not long after. Huevos rancheros- eggs, tortillas, salsa, sour cream...I mean one can never go wrong with this delicious Mexican classic. Those tortillas were so nice and crispy...and hot!! Eggs were made to how I ordered them (hard). Cilantro was on the side as well a couple of orange slices. 10/10, would definitely order again! Concha french toast- yummy french toast (3 slices) covered in cajete(?) in blueberries, strawberries. A nice sweet balance to the huevos rancheros. Some of it was a lil soggy, but, it was good nonetheless. I got pretty full and packaged the remaining to take home. 8/10, would order again. I would order this to split with another person just because of the serving size (a good thing) La lochita bailando- Oh did I dance a bit with this one! Maybe I can blame the alcohol, music, or both? :) Mimosa is my go to drink for brunch. Today, I decided to go with something different: la lochita bailando. It's a drink with horchata, rum, and iced coffee (it can be ordered warm...I went with the iced option). It has a cute ombre like color to it. Oh my! This drink was good! I can taste the rum! It was mellowed out well with the horchata. Best to stir with the straw provided to make sure to get a taste of the rum, coffee , and horchata! 10/10, would definitely order again! The decor of La Cheve is really cute. It is a restaurant in an old Western looking dwelling, with Mexican trinkets all over. The staff are all so nice here and very pleasant! They definitely know how to make you feel like you're family. :) Thanks La Cheve! I'll be back soon :)

The service, theme, food quality, and value of this restaurant is all wonderful. Definitely worth a stop when in wine country. We came before the morning rush around 9 and waited less than 10 minutes. You order first, pay and then the food is brought to your table. I loved that they decorated for the Christmas season as well. Chips and salsa, rice, beans all tasted authentic. Chilaquiles, chorizo, and asada plates all tasted delicious. The flan French toast was creamy dense and moist. Fun twist on traditional Mexican brunch. Would definitely come back. Can't wait to try the pastries.

I would highly recommend everyone to try this place. It is a cute place in a small historic building. They have a great comfortable patio where you can sit and enjoy your day. The service is good, the staff is nice and friendly. You should try their Concha, it is the best in Northern California for me. Their Concha is soft and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside, not too sweet. The food is delicious and great. Also try Mimosa Flight too

My sister treated me here after watching a Challenge Video on YouTube to eat the huge concha. The parking lot is pretty small. We parked facing the RV's and a car parked right behind us which made it very difficult to get out. Other than that I think there might be parking on the street. We ordered the omelette. One with mushrooms and one with carne asada. They were really good. The toast was so good with butter. A little sugar would have made it perfect. The olla coffee was delicious with a little bit of cinnamon taste. I would definitely recommend this place. It was quiet when we arrived at 8 am and it was not busy, however the dining area is small and maybe a little crowded, by the time we left the line was out of the door so coming early would be good. Also I saw some people with dogs so it might be pet friendly!

A delightful fusion of bakery, and brunch spot, offering authentic Mexican flavors in a historic setting. Housed in the historic Cayetano Juárez Adobe, the oldest building in Napa built in 1845, La Cheve provides a unique dining experience that blends rich history with culinary tradition. The menu features traditional Mexican dishes like chilaquiles and flan French toast, complemented by freshly baked pastries made by the owner's mother. The warm, family-run atmosphere and friendly service make every visit memorable. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty brunch, a sweet pastry, or a refreshing house-brewed Mexican coffee, La Cheve offers an authentic taste of Mexico in the heart of Napa.

Came here for an early birthday brunch and everything was perfect. I suggest ordering your pastries right when they open online (7:30am) so that by the time you grab brunch, your favorites won't be sold out and you can grab them on your way out! (My favorites are the arroz con leche conchas and the chocoflan). We've heard so many good reviews about this place and they definitely hit the mark. The history and love for the business radiates through the building and through the food. We got there just a little after 10 and waited an hour, (but didn't feel that long) as we ordered drinks from the window and enjoyed them in line while we waited! The owner graciously passed out umbrellas for people to use as it rained, and went out of her way to explain the system of the restaurant and the history behind it. The food did NOT miss. We got chile verde chilaquiles and they were amazing. Could order another plate easy. Felt like a big hug. We will be repeat customers. We loved everything about the experience!

We are locals but this is the first time we've been here. We came for breakfast at 10:45 on a weekday. We were first in line at the counter to order. There were two people at the counter before us. We've been here 15 minutes and nobody has taken our order yet. The two people placing their order ahead of us are taking a very long time. I went to sit at a table while my husband was waiting to place our order. The person busing the tables asked if we could be out in an hour because they have a group coming in then. I can't comment on the food because we may not get any before they kick us out. Update: once we were able to place our order, the food came relatively quickly. It was very good, so I'm updating my review.

This has been on my list for quite some time, but the reviews on the had me a little hesitant. We decided to stop by on a beautiful Saturday morning around 11:30. There was a line of about 20 people. We found parking immediately in the small parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. As my boyfriend waited in line, I ordered drinks and pastries. The order was ready for pick up around the back of the building in about ten minutes. There was plenty of outdoor seating. The drinks and pastries were great while we waited in line. I'm not a big fan of sweets but loved the concha. It was airy and not too sweet. The line itself wrapped around the building. Our wait was a little over an hour. Once we got to the counter and placed our orders, the host seated us while we waited for our food. The food arrived within 10-15 minutes of being seated. My boyfriend thought his chorizo burrito was just okay. My torta was amazing. The asada was flavorful, not too greasy, not too salty. The bread was fresh, light and perfectly toasted. I loved the charm and vibes of the restaurant. We chatted with several friendly patrons while waiting. Everyone seemed patient and happy to wait for the yummy food. Can't wait to come back (maybe during an off peak time) to try more food!
