Places with a changing table in Benicia

First Street's bakery-cafe: croissants, sandwiches, and showpiece pastries (their seasonal bread sculptures draw crowds). A Benicia morning ritual with kids in tow.

Benicia's old-school pirate-themed pizza parlor in Solano Square: counter-order pies and a casual room where nobody minds a loud table, the easy team-dinner answer.

A waterfront landmark at the foot of First Street with chowder, seafood and strait views from the dining room or patio. A special-ish lunch that still welcomes strollers.

Benicia's bayou-themed breakfast-and-lunch spot: beignets, big pancakes, and a playful Mardi Gras room.
