Open in the morning for great coffee, fresh juices and house-baked breakfast items - including our signature Boon Fly donuts - the Café also offers tasty lunches and dinners on premises or packed to go. All of our menus feature modern rustic cuisine based on the agricultural heritage of the region. Reservations available for dinner only. The Boon Fly Cafe Reservations
The Boon Fly Story On May 24, 1849, Boon Fly led a Wagon Train out of Fayette, Missouri where he had been a maker of silk and fur hats. Entries in the diary he kept as the Wagon Train leader trace some of the more vivid details of that four month journey to Salt Lake City, Utah, arriving there on September 12th. Eventually Boon Fly and his family made their way to San Francisco and instead of panning for gold; he made a modest fortune as a carpenter. Drawn to the farmlands north of San Francisco, he settled outside of Napa on property that would become known as the Fly District. The Fly District School was the first schoolhouse in the area and many of our current Carneros neighbors have ancestors who attended this one-room structure. Married to Maryann Percival in 1834, Boon Fly had 9 children; Alice Jane, Camila Ann, Leonidas, Quintas Cincinatus, Flavius Josephus, Robert Percival (a Texas Ranger), Boon Fly Jr., Mary Boon, Weber Watson and Camilus Sydney also known as Buck. Boon Fly died in Napa in March of 1864 and is buried in the Toulucay Cemetary on Coombsville Road.
