About Butter Cream Bakery & Diner
Established in 1948, this iconic Napa Valley establishment is famous for its signature pink-and-white striped building and vintage diner atmosphere. Originally starting as a small donut shop, it has evolved into a beloved community hub where traditional recipes are still used for everything from hand-cut donuts to custom wedding cakes. The space was meticulously restored in 2002 to maintain its mid-century charm, featuring a classic grill and authentic retro decor. The diner menu focuses on hearty American comfort food, providing a nostalgic experience for locals and travelers alike. Visitors can enjoy a full breakfast and lunch menu, complemented by an extensive selection of fresh-baked breads, pies, and pastries. Its long-standing history as a family-run business makes it an essential stop for those seeking an authentic and unpretentious side of Napa's culinary scene.

"When we first got there the waitress was rude and made my daughter feel very uncomfortable that she didn’t want to eat there after all but we stayed and ate and the waitress was a little better by the time we left. The food was good and the other staff were very nice. We went back to the bakery one day and the person at the counter was just in a rush to get us out and there was no one ordering after us."
