Loveski Deli
Worth the trip?
Worth considering.
Worth the stop if you're anywhere near downtown Napa.
Our Take
A chef-driven 'Jew-ish' deli inside Oxbow where the bagels are serious, the breakfast sandwiches hit hard and brunch requires almost zero planning.
Christopher Kostow's deli takes familiar breakfast food and gives it just enough chef brain without ruining what made you want a bagel in the first place.
