We all know the first rule of Bean Club: You never shut up about Bean Club.

My kid has proposed a second rule of Bean Club: There’s no such thing as too many beans.

We are celebrating our 25th year in business by opening our new store at 1350 Main St. in Napa. The symbolism of beans arriving on Main Street is not lost on us. To celebrate we contracted Signs by Dylan (@signsbydylan) to add a touch of permanence and artistry to our windows.

Cabbage and beans may not be the most glamorous duo, but they have a lot of chemistry! We gave this hearty soup a flavor boost with a spoonful of miso and a drizzle of chile oil.
