Molinari Caffe

Cute & Clean café. How I wanted it to be great.
Outside of the décor, the Americano’s were average. The sandwich was lacking and lemon scone was just there.
Just a cute café.

What can I say, if I had a helicopter I could make my presence here daily from SoCal.
–The coffee and staff are nothing short of fabulous!
I work in the Napa Valley once a year and the best part of my daily routine is swinging by and catching up with the staff for some excellent coffee.
Rick the owner always goes above and beyond when we stop by. The breakfast sandwich «The Roger» is the best kept secret in town. I’m a sucker for a great iced Americano and this place simply ROCKS!!!
Parking is easy. Wifi is fast and the atmosphere is excellent! See y’all very soon!

The absolute best coffee I have ever drank. I usually have half-​and-​half in my coffee I ordered a two shot Americano and was sorry I put cream in it it was better without the cream!!! And that is a first for me. The elegance and welcoming atmosphere in this little shop was delightful. I bought some espresso to take home with me. But it taste better when they make it! It’s delightful there !

I love the atmosphere here. I usually stick to lattes so I would recommend their cinnamon latte. It’s delicious. As for their food, I have only tried «The Roger» breakfast sandwich. It’s okay, nothing amazing, but worth the $ 5.
The location is a bit hidden because of the constant construction happening nearby (from earthquake damages). Parking can be a little tricky.
Definitely one of my favorite coffee shops in Napa.

This is the coffee shop you dreamed off! From the décor to the food, this place makes you feel at home. They even have an office space you can rent for meetings. This truly is a Gem in Napa! A must go to shop if you ever stop here in wine country.

This is such a cute café. Perfectly nestled downtown. The staff is just wonderful and very welcoming. Teas are a must here. There is seating upstairs & downstairs. The vibe here is relaxed. The setting is great & the aroma of the foods is mouth watering.
Keep in mind this is more than a café, it’s a sandwich shop unlike any other. Plus unlike most coffee shops, it’s very… bright in here? In a good way.

Napa, CA: Friendly service, great mocha!
I think that Molinari served one of the best mochas I’ve ever had. Seriously. The coffee was robust yet smooth, balanced by a rich chocolate that was not at all too sweet. I should have specified that I was sipping in as I received my drink in a paper cup. They used local Weaver’s organic coffee beans. There are tables inside as well as two outside. I found seating along a short bar facing one of the two, tall front windows. I did not have any food items but hope to stop in again some time. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Free two hour parking in lots and curbside.
Just saw on the website a description of Molinari Private Reserve, …“a wine infused” roast, crafted in the area but currently sold out. What a souvenir that would make.

Best café in Napa. Impeccable wifi makes it a student’s dream. Staff is fantastic making a warm and inviting ambience. TV always has the right game on. Drip coffee and espresso are kind to the palate and the sandwiches are made to the customer’s liking. Highly recommended!

Modern coffee shop with good vibes and incredibly strong coffee that’s bound to keep you awake for a few hours. I ordered a mocha which was more bitter and caffeinated and wasn’t too sweet, which was perfect for my tastes. I complemented it with a delicious mocha banana muffin with chocolate chips, which was perfect. The space is a little limited in terms of seating and big tables for studying. The upstairs section with an embedded 5-​seater bar table and a few comfortable plush chairs is great for studying or just hanging out. The venue is well-​lit with natural sunlight, and the customer service was good!

The BEST coffee in Napa hands down. Staff is always on point. Friendly and efficient, no slackers working at this establishment. Coffee is strong and flavorful, they also carry a wonderful assortment of pastries in addition to their deli. Do not go to Starbucks! Don’t be lazy walk another block and pop in here!

Hands down the best coffee shop /​caffe in Napa. It’s a little hidden but worth looking for. All sorts of coffe and some deli items. The look and feel of the place is bright, open, and modern. Outside seating available. A nice loft to do some work and some people watching. Friendly staff. You can’t beat this place for a good coffee and a quick bite.

Love this place.
Rick and staff are always friendly.
Really great way to start my day.

Was really carving a sandwich after class, so I checked Unilocal and found this place had good reviews. I ordered the Tuscan turkey sandwich which at 11.50 is definitely a little pricey but pretty typical of Napa. It was a pretty good sandwich, filled with turkey and pesto and provolone. The man that helped me at the counter was super sweet which made the experience that much better! Overall I would say I would come back here again, and next time I will definitely be trying the Nutella latte!

My new favorite spot!
I love the laid back vibe, dark rich coffee, friendly service and clean set up. Wifi is quick and I can spend hours working/​relaxing in this peaceful place.
I usually go for the flat white, but spiced it up and tried the homemade chai. This changed my world. Definitely going to make picking a drink difficult.
The biscotti is addicting, just warning you now. Eat and enjoy at your own risk.
The place is a little tough to find if you aren’t a local, but definitely worth the search!

Molinari Caffe is located on the construction filled Brown Street in downtown Napa. Hard to find this place due to the scaffolding along the road and the building being set-​back a tad, but I urge you to take the makeshift walkway and go in.
The Caffe has a really clean and modern vibe. There is really nice attention to detail all throughout the place.
The coffee here is focused more towards darker and bolder roasts, which I personally enjoy. Each of the brands we tried, including the «Rob Zombie» French Roast were extremely well made. It is a fantastic cup of coffee. Though the coffee is more bold/​dark, the better half, really enjoyed them despite the fact she likes a lighter coffee. The hand crafted and artisan coffees brewed here are awesome.
Rick and the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. We stopped in for the first time on Christmas eve after turning down Brown street along our run through downtown. Since we liked the way the store front was decorated and lit for Christmas, we decided to go there. We ended up stopping in 3 more times, including Christmas day since Rick said «I will be here for a few hours.» When we stopped in on Christmas day, he simply had a big pot of coffee sitting there and some cups and he said «Merry Christmas, coffee is on me.» In addition, the wife asked if any place was open in the area so we could get maple syrup for our breakfast. Rick went in the back and provided us with some no charge. On our last visit, Rick provided me with a complimentary bag of coffee. We were floored by the hospitality. We felt like Norm from «Cheers».
Hoping downtown Napa gets their act together and cleans up the street quickly. This is the type of place I really wish was around me. I would visit daily. If you are in downtown, seek out Molinari!

Just had a great lunch at Molinari Caffe. The sandwich was great and they are flexible when it comes to making an changes. They also have a great meeting room available for business.
Hope to become a regular. Sandra C.

While M Caffe is on the pricier side, they do make a mean cinnamon roll latte. It’s a bold move, and so is the ghost chili mocha. I only tried the former, though, because the latter sounded too daunting.
I have no idea how they came up with it, or how they make it, but the cinnamon roll latte is surprisingly not too sweet, and just perfectly cinnamon-​y. I wouldn’t say it tastes like a cinnamon roll, but I will say that if I lived in that vicinity, I’d be very tempted to splurge $ 4.80 on the drink at least once a week. Maybe twice. Or five times.
Also, various kinds of milk are available at no extra cost – soy, whole, skim, almond… Very accommodating.

Beautiful ambience. Great coffee. Food such as salads, sandwiches are available. Excellent service and Wi-​Fi! New favorite place to study and enjoy my day! I had the Cinnamon Roll Latte-​It was delicious. I was told by one of the super nice male baristas, that they have «Wine Wednesdays» and close at 4 pm for that but re-​open at 6 p.m. They pour wine and meats ($ 25 per person). Will be back here for that. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I loved being at the second level, it was very lounge like. I highly recommend this little hidden gem.

The recent earthquake has obscured the storefront of Molinari behind construction fences, but I’m glad my Unilocal app led me here to waste a bit of time before my work shift at BottleRock. It’s a great little space: bright and open, with two levels and outdoor seating for relaxing with your favorite cup of joe. I got the Americano, and while it’s not the cheapest I’ve had, the quality of the coffee is great, and the service is friendly and helpful. Molinari is definitely on my radar the next time I’m in downtown Napa and in need of a pick me up.
Need wifi? Be sure to get your receipt!

This is officially my dirty little secret, and I have no shame at all admitting that. Once it’s time to go back to school, I will happily take my ass to study there!
I love the modern clean and quiet atmosphere of this local coffee shop. The baristas are very friendly and the coffee and food they offer is top notch! I ordered a soy mocha today, and the coffee was strong yet a little hint of sweet. I also love that there’s free wi-​fi and two floors to get some studying on or read a quiet book.
The only thing I don’t like about this location is the construction blocking the view of this hidden little gem. I also wished they had more variety with their latte menu, but for now I can settle for this. :)

My first time here and it was great, I had a large Mocha along with the Roger breakfast Sandwhich which was awesome. Great place to come in and relax or to meet up with friends.
