The Station
Worth the trip?
Worth considering.
Best as a St. Helena morning stop rather than a destination unto itself.
Our Take
Part neighborhood market, part cafe and one of St. Helena's easiest morning stops. Scratch-made breads, savory toasts and a big outdoor space make it especially useful when you want a good breakfast without a full brunch production.
Nearly everything is made from scratch, but the experience stays relaxed enough to work as an everyday stop.

You don't need a production
You want somewhere useful, enjoyable and easy to work into the rest of the day.

It doesn't fit the day you're building.
