Garden-to-table
California fare
in downtown Benicia
The Cafe at The Inn serves fresh, seasonal breakfast and lunch every day — picked from our own gardens and local farms. On Fridays, we stay open for dinner and live jazz in the gazebo.
Why The Cafe
Food grown with intention
We pick produce from our own gardens each morning and build the menu around what's at its peak. Every plate starts with something real.
Garden-to-Table
Vegetables and herbs picked the same morning from our own gardens and local farmers markets, on the plate by lunch.
Seasonal & Fresh
The menu rotates with the seasons. Spring asparagus, summer tomatoes, winter squash — we cook with what's best right now.
Friday Jazz Nights
Every Friday from May through October, live jazz fills the gazebo. Dinner service runs until 8 PM with wine pairings.
"Exquisite. We all loved it."

Friday Nights
Jazz in the Gazebo
Every Friday from May through October, the gazebo comes alive with live jazz. We extend our hours for dinner service — seasonal plates, local wines, and music under the evening sky. It's the best table in Benicia.
"We pick peak vegetables from the garden and put them on the menu the same day. Nothing sits. Nothing wastes. Everything earns its place on the plate."
