Barefoot Cafe is a welcomed addition to Fairfax. The atmosphere is semi casual, with a definite slant towards the feel of Tuscany, with the dark Mustard painted walls and Espresso stained tables and chairs, is cozy and comfortable. It can get a bit crowded and sometimes noisy, but now during COVID, they have outdoor seating on the side so if you prefer sitting outside, there is that option. It has been a while since I have eaten there but I have had Breakfast, Brunch and Dinner there and I was never disappointed. I remember the service being excellent too. They have a wide selection of wines and will happily recommend one for your meal. read more

Had the Penne with sausage last weekend, was ridiculously good! The tomato sauce was /particularly/ well done. Also can't go wrong with their spaghetti and meatballs.. not to mention their steak is amazing. Ask for the goat cheese butter with it too, wish I could buy it in store. As for the staff, they're great as well. I like to think of Barefoot as home of The Two Ts, Tony and Tyrone: either one will make sure you get taken care of. read more

5 Stars! A+ service (thank you Tai!) and excellent food- the homemade hollandaise sauce for the eggs was perfect freeh and delicious and I love a place where hubs can get greenie and I can get Delicious fresh crispy salad- had the BLT salad and it's my new all time favorite- highly recommend- fantastic! read more

Food was delightful and the outside ambiance was stellar. But the most stunning was the service. If our waiter Ty (praying I spelled that right) was paid a dollar for every ounce of delight that he gave us, he would be a millionaire. An absolute joy to joke around with and with such kindness as well. Additionally, one of the chefs personally came out to apologize for a missing part of our dish before providing us an equally delicious alternative. Highly recommend! read more

The ambiance here is really nice and the wait staff was great. The food was just really mediocre and the coffee was so bitter. Very overpriced for what we got. I would not recommend. read more

Kind place seems to be very local friendly! I thought the food was cooked very clean and had a good basic flavor to it. I am normally not a scone girl however these were fresh baked and the lemon curd it is served with would make anything taste yummy!! I even dipped my fruit in it!! I hope during my stay I will be able to try the crab Benedict on the weekends well as enjoy the jazz on Sunday nights!! read more

Saturday night Jazz music from Thea Rose was so soothing in this cozy environment. Definitely worth coming to next time!! read more

Delightful dinner at Barefoot Cafe last night. The chef allowed me to combine a delicious vegetable dish with some angel hair pasta. (Such a huge serving I had leftovers.) The best part was the chef coming to our table to say hello and see how we liked our dinner. It was charming. We look forward to returning. read more

I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful this place is! The owner, the manager, the waiters and the unbelievable cook!! Every dish is so beautiful and the presentation is always so so appealing. I never can decide what I want to eat that day! I want all of it!!please try them! They can be busy, but be patient! It's worth the wait!! read more

After I went home after eating from the barefoot Café I felt like I didn't have big feet, it was nice and warm by my feet because it was warm in the restaurant. I really enjoyed the food that they had at the restaurant called barefoot it was really nice the food didn't taste or smell like feet because it was made by people who cook good food. The server who help me I think her name was Maurice she was very very nice and I wish I could be her friend in real life but I guess that is not going to happen because she said that she doesn't want to be friends with me but it just makes me want to go back to the barefoot Café where I can get some more food that I ordered with my money read more

Barefoot Cafe - What I had in my pocket when I went to the bear foot cafe - Bars Near Me - Fairfax, California

My friends and I had one stop we wanted to make on our PNW road trip and it was Barefoot Cafe. We went on a Saturday night when there was live music and it was amazing. The service, food, and vibe was unbeatable!!!! If you are in Fairfax or even San Francisco like we were I would 100% recommend taking the time to have a meal here!!! read more

Absolutely fantastic breakfast. Service was great as well. My Mom and I both enjoyed our breakfasts here. We will go again.

This is your quaint neighborhood place with superb food! Locals call it Tonys. The most gracious host and owner Tony and Chef puts out outstanding food! large portions, great selection of wine and great service. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Often places that serve all three are lacking in dinner. This is definitely not the case! Absolutely great food. I cannot say enough good things about it! read more

Dishes are always well done, service is personal and the place has a friendly and comfortable ambiance .

After a busy few warm Summer days and crowds of people for July Fourth, I wandered in, hungry to the Barefoot Café. I was greeted by a kind waiter and the owner Tony, and Chef, who waved "hello". I started with the frings a blend of fried and onion rings- I asked for sweet potato fries and they honored this request. The frings, phew we're so yummy and super crispy, but not over cooked. I then tried a salad with salmon. The greens were fresh and delicious the balsamic dressing, perfection and wow- the salmon was lightly grilled, moist, and cooked with herbs- in a perfect balance of salt and pepper. The air moved with a soft gentle movement, as fans above softly and quietly turned, stirring visions of Casablanca. Highly recommend this peaceful and delicious escape. Well done, Tony and all at Barefoot Café, thank you for your hard work, sharing your gifts with us and for providing this beautiful place, to step away from it all. read more

This place is the best! My wife and I have done both takeout and dine in here and both are excellent. Food is delicious and the service is super friendly. Highly recommended! read more

OK food but EXTREMELY slow service. They need major help training their servers and maybe the kitchen with better workflow. Seated 150pm, got our order in 225pm (this is after we repeatedly asked for the server). Food didn't come out until after 3pm. At that point we r so frustrated we asked for the check immediately. In covid times with fewer staffing maybe they should look into training their staff to work more efficiently and not do only one thing at a time (they legit come to a table, do ONE small thing, then come back after 5 minutes, do another ONE small thing). Also, the server doesn't take orders in the order that the customers are seated, creating lots of frustrated diners. A bunch of tables next to us all are complaining as well so we aren't the a-holes if that's what you're wondering. Or better yet, just let customers order at the table and pay directly w/ QR code and use that server money on more back kitchen staff. read more

My friend and I had gotten out of class early and we're looking for a good breakfast spot. Initially we had our minds set for The Hummingbird because of their beignets. However, when we got there it was closed. So thanks to Yelp we searched for another walking distance breakfast cafe. Luckily we found Barefoot Cafe. I have to say thank God The Hummingbird was closed or else we would have never discovered this awesome place! The ambiance is perfect: no loud noise and it was a warm environment. The space from table to table was a little tight but it was nothing major to prevent me from enjoying my food. Food we ordered: -Crab Cake Eggs Benedict. It wasn't on the menu; however, I saw it was here on Yelp and I thought I'd give it a try. It was amazing! The yolk of the egg did not overpower the taste of the crab -Mickey Mouse Pancake: It's good, but I am not a big fan of pancakes. -Florentine Omelette: My friend said it was best omelette he's ever tasted even if it was predominantly spinach inside. (Health freak) I would absolutely return back here and try the other delicious food on their menu. read more

Barefoot Cafe - Crabcake Eggs Benedict with a side of their home fries, Mickey Mouse pancake, and a cup of coffee. - Bars Near Me - Fairfax, California

Hands down the best brunch in Marin. Outstanding food and service, Highly recommend the mimosa or blood Mary. Tony runs a great place here! read more

The Barefoot is a very fine place to get a meal in the super cool town of Fairfax. They also have live music and poetry on occasion which makes the experience that much more engaging and enjoyable. The night I was there an upright bass player and multi-instrumentalist/keyboardist weaved together music from around the world behind some wonderful poets including the evening's lovely host. Highly recommend. I had the Chicken Marsala and it was amazing! read more

My husband and I were passing through and decided to pop in for lunch as we saw they had outdoor seating and a good yelp rating. Oy, where to start... The owner seemed to be running this operation single-handed. He's trying to host, serve and manage and it's not working out well. Times are tough with COVID, we understand. However, the execution is poor. He is running around with NO mask and handling food. Condiments are still be served in their greasy containers, not in ramekins or single-serve packets which would have been 100x more hygienic. There was also a sheet pan of cake sitting out, uncovered and half cut up right outside the bathroom. During this time, sanitation and precautionary measures should be the ultimate priority. His restaurant is definitely not following code. Now let's talk about the food. We got the turkey bacon sandwich and the blt. The turkey sandwich was served on stale old bread which we ended up not eating. The turkey itself tasted cheap and processed. It was served with a side salad with blue cheese dressing. It was your average store bought salad mix. The dressing tasted more like a creamy garlic? No blue cheese in sight. We didn't eat it. The blt should have just been called a tomato sandwich. There were like 2 strips of bacon? Honestly the best part of this meal were the fries. Which I am sure came from a frozen bag. The icing on the cake was waiting for 15 minutes for the owner/server to come back to our table so we could pay. Instead, we had to hunt him down to find him inside staring out the window. These 2 sandwiches were definitely not worth the $34 price tag. Needless to say, if we ever pass through Fairfax again we will give this place a pass. read more

We had the cinnamon roll pancakes, matcha latte, and lox Benedict. it was fabulous and Tyrone, our server, was a pleasure. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their dishes! read more

Lovely café. Tyrone is a lovely attendant with good vibes, and so is the chef, Chef Tony. Had the Hanger Steak salad. My god, I'm so full.

Unbelievable! The food and ambiance is amazing! Our waiter Luke was fabulous with prompt service! I will always stop in here for dinner. This is how all dishes will end here I promise!!! read more

Barefoot Cafe is the first restaurant we went to when we moved to Fairfax. The atmosphere is unique. The waiters remember us and are efficient. The owner greets us like friends. I love their blueberry pancakes with lemon curd and their scones. read more

Came here for Mother's Day brunch. We were quickly seated especially for Mother's day. My wife had been here before after hiking around the area and recommended that we come here, so since it was mother's day, here we were. The service was quick, the staff quickly came by and got drink orders and our actual orders shortly after. I had the cornbeef hash benedict, and it was heavenly. The cornbeef was done just right, grilled to perfection, crispy, peppery, and juicy all at the same time. The eggs, sauce and the English muffin finished it off just right. I don't think I will order anything else if I get a chance to stop by here again. The little person ordered a Mickey Mouse shape pancake and pretty much ate off my plate, so no comment on the pancakes. It looked pretty good. read more

Went here for dinner last night. It was one of the few places that was open late(r) in downtown Fairfax. I had been here many years ago & not since. I got the special which was the flank steak with a butter vinaigrette with Brussel sprouts & fingerling potatoes. I absolutely loved the steak. 8t was cooked to perfection & that sauce......so yummy!! I would say that for my tastes I prefer the sprouts & taters cooked & seasoned a bit more but they were fine. I brought them home & will jazz them up. That steak was everything! It started off with a delicious cornbread on the table as well. The staff was beyond friendly & attentive. I really appreciate the fact that they tool us even though it was so late & did not make us feel rushed. I also very much appreciate the open atmosphere of this place. I don't go to Fairfax often but when I do I tend to search Braodway for a restaurant. To me, that makes The Barefoot Cafe a hidden gem! read more

I love going to lunch at Barefoot Cafe. The owner and staff always greet me warmly and their BLAT sandwich is divine!

Wonderful spot. Tai is a great server, kind and welcoming. Super good food. Chicken Marsala was yummy

Had an absolute 5 star meal here! I ordered the Lamb Rack and it was amazing! Perfectly cooked, perfect temperature of all the food on the plate, and absolutely delicious!! Chef Tony and team did an excellent job! And the atmosphere was great! The bartender paired the perfect wine with the meal as well! Need to check this place out! read more

This spot is excellent! They were able to accommodate our large party of 10 for lunch on a Saturday and they even held our table for awhile while our entire party tried to make it there on a very rainy day. The service was excellent--considerate, upbeat, and patient. And, our food came out quickly and hot! Everyone really enjoyed their meals--the chicken sandwiches, green chilaquiles, and California Benedict were all delicious. The entire staff was kind and helpful! Can't wait to go back! read more
