The Restaurant

Welcome to Putah Creek Cafe! For over 35 years, we’ve been a beloved local spot in Downtown Winters. As a family-owned and operated restaurant, we take pride in offering a welcoming dining experience in a warm and casual atmosphere. Owners John Pickerel and Melanie Bajakian-Pickerel are hands-on, supported by our cheerful team led by General Manager Hattie Butler, Chef Sarun Kao, and COO Emarie VanGalio.

Join us daily starting at 8am, when the aroma of applewood smoked bacon and freshly brewed coffee fills the air, welcoming farmers and early risers to our cozy cafe. Our comfort food has won the hearts of locals and visitors alike, who happily line up each weekend to enjoy our delicious, scratch-made dishes. Along with our sister restaurant, Buckhorn Steakhouse, we’re proud to be a part of the Winters community.
