An excellent early morning choice for coffee, pastries and fresh veggies. Very clean inside and out. Positive atmosphere. Great food and drink. More

Indoor food "booths",desserts and bakeries housed under one roof. All unique, gourmet-type food: includes Hog Island oysters, gourmet tacos, cheeses, chocolates, teas, pizzas, and an Italian bakery. You can order something from several places and sit and eat or take out. A fun foodie adventure. They need more tables for indoor dining though. More

We stopped in here on our way out of town, but could have spent much more time wondering around. This place has neat little gift shops, places to eat, and wine to buy. I really liked that most things were local so it felt like I wasn't in any store that has generic items for sale. Many of the things... More

Stopped here on our way to our hotel to get some cheese and bread. There is everything from gifts to oysters and of course wine. Would have gone back for lunch or dinner if our hotel had been closer. More

If you're in Napa, Oxbow Public Market is a great place to start the day and provision yourself for exploring the valley. Of particular note are the Hog Island Oyster Company (super fresh oysters and great seafood chowder) and C CASA (delicious duck tacos). There are enough options to satisfy pretty much any foodie (or temperamental kid). Good coffee too. More

My husband and I stopped here on our recent trip to napa and loved it there were so many local vendors with spices meats and veges on sell. The olive press and spice market were wonderful. Karas cupcakes were great. We got amazing cheese at the wine and cheese shop. It was so much fun to browse the vendors that... More

Cool things to see and buy and delicious places to eat and drink! Had wine and cheese pairings at the Wine Merchant / Cheese Merchant on the first day in town after all day travel - great way to get into the Napa mood! ....heard later that the Kitchen Door is a must-try too, but didn't get a chance to...

Maybe because I'm jaded by the Pike Place market in Seattle or the Granville Island market in Vancouver but the earlier reviews about this being the best are a tad overstated. It's nice but their are few shops - more of an artisan gathering with some dining opportunities. Great little cupcake shop. More

We walked to the market from the house we rented. It was enjoyable and we even ran into locals that did our wine tastings and spoke with us. We got a real feel for what it would be like to live in Napa and shop among the locals. Model Bakery is located nearby too. More

Ok, take the best affordable food and stuff it all into one little "mall" and you have a great taste of Napa. We sampled something from nearly every place in this building over a two day period. Cupcakes - great, not even my thing. Salmon or Duck tacos, yes, we loved them! Orange "Julius" from the juice bar made with... More
