Or a coffee shop that serves amazing pastries? I like the sounds of the pastries at Lucy's Panaderia. Are there any tables/seats, or is it a traditional bakery where everything is to go? Thanks for any of your comments. Tue Sep 16 22:58:16 -0700 2008 10626 phoenikia 1 4041517 The oldest bakery in Napa is Buttercream Bakery. The have a coffee shop inside with tables. They are located near the corner of Lincoln and Jefferson. Hope this helps. John Wed Sep 17 07:57:44 -0700 2008 4040974 111172 bajajohn 1 4041878 I'm a fan of Sweetie Pies and their Morning Buns...

Maybe I'll get a chance to try both. Wed Sep 17 10:25:52 -0700 2008 4040974 10626 phoenikia 1 4042080 ABC --- Alexis Baking Company.

I grew up in Napa with Buttercream, and thought their cakes were quite good (especially the champagne cake), but breakfast was only slightly better than Denny's. Also, I don't recall the coffee being particularly good. On the other hand, the atmosphere/decor was great - totally kitschy with old wood "BC" initials on the backs of the bar stools.
