Sam's General Store

I am a coffee lover. One of my favorite things to do with my love is to try fun new coffee places. From appearance this place hits all feels. My pastry was delightful the Corraso was decent. I simply said it was my first time visiting what are you know for? I was greeted with a haughty response, which changed the feeling of my first impression to one of disappointment in this experience.

Sam’s is a cozy spot to stop off at between wineries. This cute patio style cafe serving light bites and good coffee will allow you to soak in some nice sunlight and relax before your next tour. The pastries and breakfast burrito were excellent and perfect snacks. The coffee was nice and smooth. I would recommend this cafe if you are up in the diamond mountain district and please check out their merchandise

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

Stopped in on a visit to Calistoga. Quaint little coffee shop offering drinks, muffins, sandwiches and more. Very good tea and the bagel was very good. Service was great and the setting was awesome. Sat outside and enjoyed the morning.

I popped in this place for a quick bite and a coffee. Both were really good and the staff was nice. It’s cozy and clean with an awesome indoor and outdoor space with fire pit and heating. They were also open early too! Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

So happy to find this sweet coffee & deli off the main road in Calistoga. The outdoor seating is lovely and the inside is charming. The staff were quite nice and I loved the Matcha-Cha-Cha latte! The croissant was huge, flaky & tasty.

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

Amazing coffee! Also try the ginger scone. SO good. Really cute spot with great outdoor seating. Went almost daily on my recent work trip to Calistoga.

Best coffee in town, maybe in all of Napa valley! I got the iced mocha twice, but one time they put whipped cream and that was the best. Also I tried a turkey sandwich which was very good. Like the name says they have a small store there as well, I had forgotten to pack lip balm and they had a really interesting one: coffee bean and maple! Would highly recommend.

This is such a cute place and I love their bee pollen latte. Delicious pastries and healthy items to go make it convenient for those wanting something quick to grab. I would give it 5 stars if the avocado toast wasn't overly salted. I will be back to give it another try.

I visited this cafe recently based on the 4.0 reviews. Not sure if they were having an off day but here is my experience . (2.5 stars.) Coffee was lukewarm, egg sandwich was dry and eggs were overcooked. The avocado toast was alright but nothing special. The store/cafe ambiance/decor was very nice. Service was slow for breakfast considering the sandwich was premade.

We got a lovely coffee at Sam's general store. My cappuccino was strong and tasted amazing. The coffee shop is in a historic building in Calistoga, and there is a really pleasant outdoor seating area. It took a little while to get to the front of the line to order- but it wasn't horrible- and it was an exercise in patience on a relaxed morning. I would recommend this spot!

Stopped by Sam's General Store for breakfast and really enjoyed the experience. I had the quiche and my friend had the avocado toast-both were delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. However, too many sesame seeds on both. But You can tell they use quality ingredients. The ambiance is what really stood out -- charming, cozy, and thoughtfully put together. Whether you're sitting inside or out on the patio, it's a lovely spot to start the morning. That said, it's definitely on the pricey side. You're paying a bit of a premium, especially for breakfast, but the overall atmosphere and food make it feel (mostly) worth it. A great little stop if you're in the area and don't mind splurging a bit for a laid-back, elevated breakfast.

Stopped here on the way out of Calistoga , I did not pick it at first , was looking more for a sit down and serve you place. But very glad came here The breakfast sandwich and avocado toast was excellent and great selection of coffees , inside and out seating , counter order and they bring it to you. Very relaxing garden outdoor for a casual breakfast and excellent service I'd highly recommend giving it a try if in the area !

Gorgeous little novelty coffee shop w delicious specialty provisions and wonderful coffee drinks. Ambiance is charming and staff is friendly and welcoming! LOVE!

It's a cute little shop connected to an Inn. So it's not entirely its own coffee shop- as there are areas for hotel guests only. But plenty of outdoor seating. (Restrooms are outside.)

Stopped by for a quick coffee after getting into Calistoga, definitely need to get there early if you want any of the pastries. It was a holiday weekend and they had already sold out of most things by the time we arrived, but they had a couple items which we really wanted to try. They have multiple outdoor areas which are super nice to enjoy your drinks. Worth checking out if you can get some tasty treats.

Had breakfast here on our recent trip and loved the food, ambiance and local vibe. It's a grab & go place where you order from the counter. We also loved the tucked away location one block from Main Street. What we had: Coffee - delicious Overnight Oats Croissant Egg salad Fruit Simple, healthy, delicious! Highly recommend.

Very cute and local coffee spot near my hotel, it's attached to a boutique hotel! They have beautiful indoor and mostly outdoor seating. This was my daily stop for coffee and a quick breakfast during my visit. I tried the lavender vanilla latte and the vanilla lavender cold brew. Both were delicious and not too sweet, both of them were iced since it was hot outside. I wanted to try the breakfast empanada but the they were sold out so I had the breakfast sandwich which was pretty good, the bread was a little hard from toasting but the bacon and egg had really good flavor...I also tried a regular croissant it was simple, buttery and delicious. Great spot with even better coffee!

I was staying in the area at a spot with no breakfast so I drove over for a very early breakfast and to read for a bit. I had dreams of sitting outside by a fire pit and watching the sunrise but it was simply too cold to do that lol. The staff inside was very friendly and I started with a chai latte and a breakfast sandwich and found a cozy corner to read in. There was a pretty steady stream of traffic coming in after that, I'm assuming both folks staying on property and others like me looking for a quick bite to eat. On the way out, I grabbed one of their juices and an almond croissant. The green juice was really good, the almond croissant left a bit to be desired. I would return!

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

Very clean, nice atmosphere fantastic service and we like the food. On our way to the Santa Rosa airport we stopped here and bought a great choice.

Came here on a very busy morning Sunday around 10am and the line was out the door and slow moving. There is an option to order online but it still took 30 mins to get our order. I wanted to leave. The coffee is a bit better than the one across the street and La Palmerie lounge which is where we stayed. But the wait was excruciating that day. I understand it was a three day weekend with limited options for everyone in the small town. But i wonder if it's possible to add more people to staff during these busy times as it makes me not want to go back. The coffee roast taste more on the burnt side and i got the oatmilk wildflower honey latte and it was not that sweet at all, overall a good coffee.

Beautiful restaurant. Very modern decor and clean. Service was quick and they were polite. We ordered the matcha strawberry foam tea, vanilla latte, breakfast sandwich and avocado toast. Everything tasted really good. Highly recommend stopping here for a quick breakfast.

Peaceful pleasant cafe w/ lots of outdoor seating on the quieter side of downtown Calistoga. We were amazed how well the town & business revived. I enjoyed their Americano and blueberry croissant danish! They heated up pastry perfecto and sadly such sweetness is a commodity. This was a perfect start to the day of fun art adventure Thank you

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

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

We had a recent stay in Calistoga and came here both mornings for breakfast. The building is quite cute, housed in a cottage. Be prepared to wait however. We tried a few different food items. We were big fans of their breakfast sandwich. The ciabatta is light and airy, and goes pleasantly with the egg and bacon. Their pastries are decent, not the best but it gets the job done. I also tried the mighty matcha iced latte. This was pretty solid, but could benefit from a stronger matcha flavor. The sweetness covered up some of the bitter notes from the tea. Overall, this is a solid place for breakfast. There's a few small tables inside, and lots of outdoor seating (weather permitting). Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a breakfast spot though!

This place is super cute! I love the outdoor seating area. Even if it was raining today, it was still really nice to sit out there and drink our coffees. The service was great, both of the employees who helped us out were very friendly. I really enjoyed my coffee, and MAN was that danish and the turkey pesto sandwich hella bomb

Service and coffee was yummy. I went on a cold rainy day and it was perfect vibe. It's a really beautiful, cute cafe.

What a cute vibe! I'm here for a pit stop but next time, I would love to sit outside leisurely or work inside at one of the tables. The food assortment is solid for breakfast, lunch, or snack. The Prosciutto Cheddar Quiche and Sam's Golden Latte were just what I needed before my drive. Such a gem! Just be prepared for street parking.

Cute cafe on the east side of Calistoga. A little walk past Dr Wilkinson spa is a small, modern cafe. Sam's general store had great coffee and good breakfast foods. Got the frittata and avocado toast which were well made and the perfect compliment to the iced lattes my party ordered. Food and drinks came out quickly and it was nice to hang out on the yard/porch area before starting the day. Staff is kind and very helpful. Highly recommend if you're in Calistoga!

Super inviting little spot to go for coffee and breakfast (&more)! They have delicious golden latte and you can get a yummy quiche to go along with it. Friendly staff with great service. They have a gorgeous outside patio area to relax, enjoy your drinks, snacks and each other's company!!! Will be back again for the adult beverages!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Calistoga, ca. The latte I ordered was delicious. The coffee bean they use is full bodied and rich. It was just strong enough to not taste milky. I typically like an even stronger mix but the flavor here got my attention immediately. I prefer a ceramic cup which would have perfected the latte. I liked how the barista tamped the grind into the filter, she defiantly put her weight into it. I had a tiny frittata that was ok, mostly egg taste. The tiny quiche was better, at least it had some cheese in there. Neither selection was special but I needed something for breakfast and it fulfilled that obligation. The avocado toast is also not special when compared to that offered elsewhere. The avocado is mashed and only lightly seasoned so adding a good tasting piece of bacon on top helped with the palatability.

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

Drinking a most delicious mocha. Highly recommend coming here for the coffee. My wife and I have been here a few times now and love sitting inside while we enjoy or drinks.

It was nice, cute and tucked away in a residential area. It was a good find. Their bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was wonderful. My husband loved the avocado toast.

Great spot for a quick meal and great coffee in Calistoga! My wife and I each ordered the Avocado Toast for breakfast while she ordered a cold brew coffee and I decided to try the Pistachio Latte. The Avocado Toast was delicious and filling, worth every cent. The special latte had a great taste of pistachio without being overpowering in flavor or tasting too artificial.

There's ample outdoor seating, so on a beautiful morning, you're able to enjoy your breakfast and take in your surroundings.

A small and charming sandwich, pastry, coffee shop with a limited selection of excellent pastries, sandwiches,and coffee. This was the Calistoga, California location. The St Helena location may be larger. Service was prompt and cordial.

Location is part of a boutique hotel, and had its own entrance. It was hopping! Unique coffees we had the empanada, which was outstanding.

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

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

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

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

cute cafe in calistoga with a nice patio and bright yellow coke scheme. we ordered the peach matcha which was amazing and refreshing and the geapefruit colds brew which was...interesting. the quiches were amazing which the staff gave to us toasted. staff was super helpful in giving recommendations.

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

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

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

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