Butterscots

We have had Lunch here twice the food looks great and tastes great. Ambiance is really nice great picnic area and fire pit. Seriously you can’t go wrong here even if your just stopping to taste and relax.

This is by far the nicest place to have your Flying Goat coffee in the morning out by the fire pit surrounded by beautiful furnishings. Not your average coffee shop in the valley. You can have a wine picnic out back and or dinner with the old Tra Vigne group at the new restaurant Brasswood! We struck gold here! It’s not just a destination for wine tasting which is the real high light! Great wines, beautiful tasting rooms and the nicest staff. You can spend the day here literally between the wine tour which is state of the art. There is a great store with fine goods, buy a cigar which my hubby likes and a glass of scotch while I shopped. Then we find out there is an art gallery with fabulous modern art from artist all over the world. Cairdean was a great find and a beautiful place to visit. I highly recommend the Cab Franc

This is a nice looking little place that kind of feels more like a gift shop for people like my mom than it feels like a place that I’d want to get coffee or some deviled eggs. But that’s what I did anyway. The location is a little out of the way but that’s fine. Most things in the area are tucked away.
Everything was going well until some important lady came in and basically trumped my existing order as she was served by the one guy behind the counter. He started making my coffee, she walked in, he stopped and started serving her, and then I had to wait and ask him to finish my coffee after she received part of her order. He went over and finished my coffee and then she tried to take it. No, lady! Wait your turn, this is my coffee! Then I had to practically beg him to serve me the deviled eggs.
Look, I get it. Important ladies are important ladies. The guy behind the counter knew her by name so she was probably a regular. But unless they have some sort of front-​of-​line pass like Universal Studios, I don’t care if he knows her social security number… she gets to order when I am done ordering.
Not a big deal. I wasn’t in a rush. But it made me feel like I’m not important. Little did he know that I was a Unilocal ELITE! I am super important!!! On the Internet.
Still, this place is nice and you should check it out when you’re in town. Just don’t be surprised if you are treated like a second class citizen. I spent the rest of my afternoon wiping my tears with the dollar bills that I spent in other establishments. I also contracted a nasty skin rash from rubbing all of that dirty money on my face. I don’t recommend this, just use a Kleenex.

So you’ve been sampling some great wines on Hwy 29 and want to have a nice breakfast/​lunch/​snack and continue the experience. This is the place to stop.
The menu continually changes, but always includes a wide variety of sandwiches and salads. Ingredients are fresh and the baked goods are made onsite.
We usually have a sandwich (roasted veggies is my favorite or picked turkey) and a salad. Lots of nice drinks and good coffee (though I wish they made their own Iced Tea). Save room for dessert the onsite bakery makes some great items.
The atmosphere is relaxed. Seating is provided inside but you want to eat outdoors on the covered patio.
Service is great. Order and pay at the counter, then take your seat. Real plates, silverware, and cloth napkins.
The real secret is that (until this review gets noticed) there has never been more than a few people eating here. Plenty of free parking.
The reason is that Butterscots is located between busy Saint Helena and busy Calistoga on HWY 29.
But it also means you have to pay attention or you will pass right by. Look for the sign for «Cairdean Estate».
Did you miss out by arriving late? Never fear you are in great luck. Right next door is The Farmer & The Fox, a great place for dinner.

Butterscots Bakery is in an unlikely venue– the former location of the St. Helena Factory Outlets. It’s still in the process of being tidied up, fancied up, and renovated. It has a beautiful courtyard with a unique fountain. Despite being on Highway 29, it’s tucked into an elegant little nook.
They make a great beet salad&they have a great variety of non-​alcoholic drinks, like orange San Pellegrino. The rest of their selection looks luscious, from sizable cinnamon rolls to breakfast sandwiches with fried eggs on them. The only downside are their problematic front doors. Other than that, Butterscots is a welcome addition to the Valley!

Very fresh ingredients and freshly made toast. I have one of the best turkey sandwich there. Also had the potato salad and grilled vegetable salad there. My family member has tomato soup and she loved it. The only small complain I have is the way they organize the ordering process might need some improvement as they forgot part of the order. But great customer service to make up the error. Definitely recommend a nice lunch there

A little gem in St Helena, Butterscots is new and hasn’t been discovered yet. It is up highway 29 away from Main Street with barely a sign noting its existence. Look for Cairdean winery or farmer and fox to find it. When you drive in pull around to the back of the building. The bakery looks like it was decorated by Restoration Hardware. Tall barn like white ceiling beautiful interior design. The pastries here are terribly overpriced ($ 4 for a croissant). The drop coffee is nice with free refills. We have tried pretty much everything they have pastry-​wise and the best we believe is the ham and cheese croissant. The croissant is flaky and buttery with many layers. The was croissants should be made. We love to grab a coffee and pastry and sit out in the patio on a Saturday morning.

I absolutely love this place. Butterscots is a great compliment to the tasting room at Cairdean Estate. Can’t go wrong with their great pastry selection. Also love their coffee.

Beautfiul little spot for coffee and a sweet treat. The grapefruit & pistachio donuts are my go to. Everything is fresh and delicious from this place. I’ve had way too many pastries and a few small lunch items from here. I have enjoyed everything so far.
Great service, clean and beautiful!

Stopped by while visiting some close-​by wineries. Husband had the roast beef sandwich and I had the chicken salad sandwich. Both were great — nothing spectacular but definitely good. The outside gardens are what earned the 4^th star.

Great slightly hidden place with awesome sandwiches and pastries. I had vanilla cream filled doughnut and a ham and cheese sandwich. My wife went for the roasted chicken sandwich with smoked gouda. We loved every bite! The setting with nice courtyard is also very pleasant.

Good light lunch spot in the northern part of Napa Valley. Just what this area needs. Nice salad and bakery options. Young lady Marcy on the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Stopped for lunch while wine tasting. Love the courtyard. Had a chicken salad sandwich. So good hubby had the roast Beef. So good with the horseradish mustards. Loved the ginger cake and the square donuts. A must stop!!!

Excellent food! Great service and ambiance too. I had the Pork «knuckle sandwich» with caramelized onions and my friend had the Roast beef and mozzarella, with marinated peppers sandwich both grilled on the panini press — they were amazing. We will definitely be back. I can’t wait to try the smoked ham & cheddar croissants and housemade ice cream and sorbets.

The food and service at Butterscots are worthy of just three stars — not bad but nowhere near outstanding — but its location at the Cairdean Estate with beautifully-​kept grounds bumps it up to four. I had the white chocolate bread pudding, butterscotch lime croissant, and Tahitian vanilla filled doughnut. On paper, the names alone sound so delicious, but all were just ok, nothing out of this world. The ambiance, though, totally makes up for it. They have a little bit of seating inside as well as a patio right outside. I recommend sitting out on the patio which is super cute and has a great view of the grounds. It wasn’t too busy on the day we went which made it a nice, relaxing experience :)

I’ll definitely be back! The staff is friendly and helpful, they knew the answers to all my questions. I really enjoyed the food, everything tastes very fresh and the menu is very modern with items such as a mushroom and leek croissant and curry brioche. The donuts are really good! The outside patio is perfect for having a little picnic between wine tastings. Overall, it’s a great experience!

Lovely lunch spot and retail space. Special baguette sandwiches, thoughtful salads, and creative breakfast things. The things I had were perfect.
Will go back to sample breakfast items and coffee!
Charming and delicious.
