First Street Cafe - Benicia

I really adore this little restaurant. The food is consistently excellent, but I usually end up ordering the Dungeness crab and artichoke sandwich—it's fantastic! They don’t serve fries since the café is located in a historic building that can’t accommodate fryers. The service is always quite good, too.

I was pleasantly surprised! I visited an old town café for what I expected to be a typical breakfast (and I absolutely love old towns), but our meal was anything but ordinary! We had the cured beef, and you could tell it was definitely homemade—flavorful and delicious! We also enjoyed a bagel.
