Paying $3 for a tall decaf isnt really my style, but I have to say it was one heck of a good cup of coffee. My wife, who usually doesnt like black decaf coffee, stole a sip from my mug twice after I let her taste it. That says a lot, as she is a real coffee aficionado. Watching them prepare the coffee is fun if youre not in a hurry. They grind the beans just for you, then pour hot water through the beans and a filter into a carafe of sorts, and then finally pour the contents into your mug, which they have pre-heated for you with hot water. Its elaborate and time consuming but I suppose part of the appeal if youre not in a hurry. The two women who were working there tonight were friendly and professional. The companys logo has a vaguely Communist look to it -- a red star and red cup -- but at $3 for a tall decaf theyre obviously in it to make some money.

Theres nothing I can say about the joys of Ritual Coffee that hasnt been already been said, but what this review is really about is location, location, location. This remote shop is located deep within the center of the Oxbow Market, meaning not only do you get access to world class coffee, but also bonus food options. Surrounding the shop are some amazing food stalls that only add the to joys of drinking coffee in Napa. Youll find everything from cupcakes to oysters only a few feet from the shop. There is plenty of parking, plenty to see and just about anything you could ever want to eat.

In town for vacation and didnt realize this place closed at 8. The lady that took my order was pleasant and did not mention they were closing. The man who made my order openly complained about us coming last minute. On top of that he complained about having to clean out two small espresso glasses. When I offered to take my espresso to go he said we have a dishwashing machine for that. There was nothing wrong with the espresso, but this gentlemans attitude was ridiculous. I have never experienced such open rudeness.

I dont know if its because Im a coffee rookie or does this coffee have an interesting taste to it? I got the iced coffee which seemed safe enough and it didnt taste like coffee coffee. I have no idea if that makes sense at all, but I paid a good $4 for that small cup so I was going to drink it. The girls behind the counter were really nice though, but overall, I dont think this is my type of coffee place.

Some places get coffee right, and this is one of them. Each drink is individually prepared--microfoam style--and is focused on the espresso (not the flavors you can add to the coffee). The mochas are the only exception and they are not overly sweet or sugary. There may be some who find their approach to coffee snobbish, but I find it appropriate because I am particular about getting coffee right.

As other reviewers here mention, the staff is great, and the coffee is very good. However, its the price that is less than stellar. With Model Bakery (also expensive) just around the corner, Starbucks (average) and the Napa Valley Coffee Roasters (very good) just 2 blocks away, they are other nearby, good options. I want to give it five stars, but the price is holding me back.

I love this little spot. I purchased a mug from here and have been using it all the time. This little market coffee shop is a cool place to be and a great place to get a cup of the good stuff...by good stuff I mean wine is currently on the bench and having a cup of coffee, then back out to the Napa fields.

No one wanted to go to any other location for coffee once we made it to this location. Your not going to go wrong making a stop here. DOn;t go here if your looking for every type of coffee concoction. But quality and service are top of the game. its a nice place to start your day.

The coffee was decent. I asked for a light roast, and the barista talked me into a medium roast (he already had it made). I love a tablespoon of heavy cream in my coffee, and they only had half and half... and I only found that out after I had already ordered..just disappointing.

Espressos are generally small and strong meant for sipping and taking the time to enjoy. The seasonal espresso that I ordered was served in a shot cup and was barely a gulp. I took a small taste and it was burnt. It took 10 minutes and $5. A total waste of time and money.

Staff was very nice. The latte I had was probably one of the most tasty lattes Ive tried so far. Unlike The local Starbucks which always seems to burn the milk in my lattes, they had a smooth, creamy, dense, and tasty latte. The latte art was also a treat.

Decent coffee. Problem is the attitude of staff. They made others coffee first who ordered after me. He did not even say sorry. Why? Spending too much time talking with girls or women while working and forget about another customers.

Long lines are a good sign that the coffee is really excellent. Smooth, rich, tasty beans unlike anywhere in the area. Cant go wrong with a cappuccino or Americano even if the sometimes-surly baristas can get your back up.

Handmade locally roasted coffee. This is the best coffee in Napa. Great espresso and excellent drip coffee. Ritual is the first place I saw using the Hario V60, which is fickle but makes the best drip coffee.

Best coffee in napa , smooth rich taste ! The atmosphere is like a upscale Saturday market . I really am glad I found a place that serves a decent cappuccino , can be a bit busy and have a wait but worth it

Happy and humble people. Best coffee in the area IMO. Balanced roasts, and a single origin espresso which was a treat for the folks on the road trip I was with.

Great single origin coffee roasters - even better service. If Im happily shaking at 2am its because of Ritual Coffee! Thanks Chris, thanks staff!

Hand poured coffee at the Oxbow! Rituals coffee is light and delicious. Grab a cup and cruise around the Oxbow.

Barrett Corrigan

Super smooth espresso and a cool vibe. 4.50 for a latte is high but Id like to think you get what you pay for.

Note to self: The design on the cappuccino foam is cool, but the actual cappuccino is better at Ca Momi.

Kerri Murphy

Special menu is great! Nitro was smooth but a little pricy. Acid Espresso was bright and delicious

Stephen Glowacki

Capacino, snow jasmine tea, and ice latte all quite good. Friendly fun staff. Great atmosphere
