Cal Mart

Cal Mart is a charming little grocery store in Calistoga, CA. When you walk in this store, you'll get the feel that everyone there is a friend or a neighbor. Maybe that's because everyone knows one another, or maybe they just have excellent customer service. I'd bet on a little of both. You can find plenty of specialty items as well as every day essentials. Groceries are a bit expensive, but i'm assuming that's just a Calistoga thing. Cal Mart has a bakery, a meat counter, and a Cafe. I have tried a caramel macchiato from the Cafe on two separate occasions. The first time, it was probably the best coffee I've ever had. I thought about it for weeks and as soon as I had the chance to come back to Calistoga, I went back and got another! The second time it was pretty awful and tasted burnt, so I think it truly depends on who is making your coffee that day. I would still try coffee from here again, and I'm sure they would have made me a new one if I said something about it. One of the reasons I love this place is because they have a vast amount of gluten free items. I have celiac disease so im limited to what I am allowed to eat. Cal Mart has so many options, so I don't get left out when the rest of the family wants treats or bread items. There are many locally made items to choose from as well, which I think is amazing. If you're in the area, pop in and check it out. You will find something you want to try- just make sure you budget to splurge a bit!
