Quite simply amazing breakfast. I had the ricotta, orange, blueberry, pancake with pecans. We also had the sausage gravy biscuit with the fruit cup. Both were completely satisfying. And everyone around us was shaking their heads with their tongues out, enjoying their selections too.!!
Before we left Napa, we wanted to have a more traditional breakfast and chose Gillwoods based on reviews and their established time in Napa area! The staff gave us excellent service, making sure we were fully satisfied and without rushing us out the door As we had a long weekend, we were looking for a peaceful cafe. Gillwoods cafe exceeded our expectations and will definitely come back next time we're in town
Best breakfast ever. I had coffee, the Gillwood omelette, and a pancake. The hash browns are unique in that they are in long pieces like the shape of a candy bar. However, this allows them to get a really nice crisp and brown finish. The omelette was excellent as was the coffee. The pancake was great too. Service was spectacular even on a busy Sunday morning. They kept my coffee cup full
This is easy 5 stars. Fast and friendly service. Menu offers a lot of choices. I ordered avocado toast, it came on a huge piece of thin bread with ricotta cheese spread and two eggs on the top. All this for $13. My wife ordered eggs benedict - the same story, great taste, huge side of really tasty home fries. To top it off, the coffee was much better then one would expect from a dinner. Great service, great food, down to earth pricing.
Fantastic chicken Cesar salad ! And the fries smelled amazing. Super friendly and fun staff .
We enjoyed Gillwoods Cafe after browsing Yelp for good breakfast/brunch spots. Located in busy downtown St. Helena. We found parking close by on a side street. There were seven of us and were seated quickly at the "community table." Food came out quickly and was delicious with good portions. Gillwoods is a friendly diner with great staff and speedy service. There is seating for 2-4 around the cafe and a couple of seats outside.
Breakfast spot in downtown St Helena. Been coming here for years, including under prior ownership. Don't be surprised if there's a wait on weekends. Service is super friendly and laid back in the smallish dining room. Our breakfast was delicious.
