About
Naysayer Coffee Roasters is a hidden gem located at 1813 Old Sonoma Road, Napa, CA, where coffee enthusiasts find joy in seriously crafted brews. Renowned for its dedication to quality, Naysayer focuses on offering a simple yet delightful coffee experience without the distractions of overly sweetened drinks.
The atmosphere here is cozy and inviting, set in a charming old shopping center that gives it a unique character. While the space can be tight when busy, it creates a communal vibe that’s quintessential to Napa. For those who prefer to sip their coffee in nature, the nearby parks provide a perfect backdrop for enjoying your cup.
One standout feature of Naysayer is their commitment to crafting excellent drip coffee. As noted by customer Ian Barrett, the drip coffee surpasses expectations often associated with smaller cafes. His praise for both the coffee and the artfully prepared avocado toast highlights the care and attention that goes into breakfast items even at the crack of dawn.
For the true coffee aficionado, Naysayer excels in delivering vibrant flavors that celebrate the coffee bean itself. Customer Molly Patton's experience with their cold brew underscores this ethos. She appreciated the rich, full-bodied flavor without any hint of acidity or burnt flavors, which often plague lesser coffee joints. This commitment to quality is further endorsed by Chris Selby, who found the cortado exceptionally crafted, showcasing the fruit acidity notes beautifully.
Whether you’re visiting Napa, or you’re a local simply looking for a reliable coffee spot, Naysayer Coffee Roasters lives up to its name. The attention to detail in both beverages and food, combined with friendly service, leaves a lasting impression. With every cup, you’re not just sipping coffee; you’re partaking in a culture rooted in quality and community. Highly recommended for any morning routine!
“ Great little coffee shop. I was shocked by the level of care that went in to my avocado toast at 7 am. The regular drip coffee is also excellent, which I do not find is always the case for these smaller expresso drink type coffee shops. Highly recommend for morning routine if you’re visiting Napa. ”
“ Super adorable coffee joint in the cutest little chill old shopping center in Napa. It's a tight fit if they're busy so just be aware when ordering. They do have a few little tables and seats available to sit at inside and out but honestly I would grab and go and find a nice park locally to enjoy my coffee. Naysayer are a coffee roaster first and foremost and they do legit coffee seriously and simply. No overly syrupy sugary drinks to be found here. I got a cold brew with an extra espresso shot and was very impressed by the full bodied flavorful coffee. No weak acidic coffee or burnt nasty old coffee to be found here. They are very reasonably priced for Napa. I highly highly recommend Naysayer. It's well worth the visit, you will not be disappointed IF you like legit coffee. ”
“ The iced latte was pretty good although it became watery pretty soon. There were not so many interesting food options but I can recommend this spot for coffee ”
“ Cute little coffee shop, and they served one of the best gibraltars/cortados I’ve ever had. The fruit acidity notes of the espresso came through perfectly. The staff is really friendly, even early in the morning. They also have really good pastries, I had a very buttery and flaky croissant. Coming here feels like you’re part of the Napa community. That must be one of the reasons their coffee is served at a lot of the restaurants in town. ”
“ Love Naysayer and all of the wonderful staff. Always look forward to trying all the new seasonal flavors. Haven’t had one I didn’t like yet. Must ”
“ Stopped by for some coffee and were pleasantly surprised by this place. We ordered a maple pine cappuccino, a house latte and chai. All were amazing but what really stole the show was the everything bagel with cream cheese and peach preserves! It was so good we had to have one more. Avocado toast was also very nice, with the perfect mix of spicy and pickled flavors added to it. Would have to visit Napa again just for this cafe! Also the servers were very sweet and quick with our order which was helpful. Ate the food too fast to capture it but have the photo of the menu. ”
“ Everything one could want from a good hipster/3rd wave coffee spot. Great coffee, Gluten free and vegan baked good options, and good people. I make it a point to hit this spot, and buy a bag of beans when i'm in the area. Going tmrw and looking forward to their drip coffee! ”
“ Amazing service & great vibes. I ordered a cardamom vanilla iced coffee and it's literally perfect. I've never had coffee like this with housemade syrup but I really enjoy it 10/10 ”
