Napa, California

Sweetie Pies is one of California’s great bakeries. The classy little shop is tucked into the historic riverfront complex that includes the Napa River Inn. A passion for quality is apparent. Superb cinnamon rolls, humongous bear claws, sticky buns, scones, coffee cakes and other morning delights can be enjoyed with light breakfast and lunch dishes. It’s all available to go, or at the few tables in view of cases full of stellar pastries and desserts.
