They also had some tables outside, but it was too cold for me. I ordered a hot banana caramelized latte, which was so amazing. It really hit the spot. It warmed me up inside and the banana flavor was very comforting. Everyone was very nice inside and my coffee was done in a decent time. Didn't really have to wait too long which was kind of nice since I had a reservation at john muir.

This is my favorite equator location. Not for people watching (go to their Miller Ave location for…read morethat), & not because the drinks are somehow better here or anything; Equator drinks are consistent throughout all of their locations. It's THIS particular location... On CA-1 in Mill Valley, it's so conveniently on the way to downtown Mill Valley, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes...etc, etc. But regardless of where you're going, stopping in here feels like you're on vacation. Beach/ocean/surf culture. The vibe is a thousand percent beach hut/surf shop, even with no actual beach in sight. How charming is that? Somehow browsing surfboards, even when you don't surf, assuages that unfulfilled dream, or fuels your standing wanderlust. Did you know that Thomas Keller serves Equator coffee at all of his properties? They partnered up 25 years ago, & equator even does special blends at certain TK restaurants. Even though Equator is available at grocery stores now, you should still come here. 5 star coffee in another 5 star location

Got it. I'll turn this into a polished Yelp Elite-style narrative: observant, balanced, a little…read morewitty, and clearly written by someone who actually spends time here--not a fly-by latte tourist. This spot feels like the other side of Sausalito--in the best way. If Sausalito Bakery is the pressed-linen, weekend-brunch version of town, this place is where the everyday locals land. Same essence, very different energy. Cozy, familiar, and quietly charming without trying too hard. The space itself is warm and inviting, with a lived-in feel and a glowing sign in the back that somehow makes the whole room feel softer. There's a large communal table, plenty of indoor seating, and a steady hum of conversation that creates excellent white noise. It's a solid place to get work done--as long as you're not recording audio, because it does get a little loud--but for emails, planning, or a casual work session, it absolutely works. Now, the matcha. This is the real headline. I'll be honest: I used to actively avoid ordering matcha here. It was mediocre at best. About five months ago, they changed it--slight improvement, but still not there. I know the ownership was proud of that update, but something clearly changed again since then, because today's matcha was genuinely impressive. Like, stop-what-you're-doing impressive. At this point, I'm comfortable saying this is the best matcha in Sausalito. Egg Lady's is fine, but it doesn't come close. Sausalito Bakery is lovely to hang out in, and their pastries are great--but their matcha is forgettable. This one isn't. (The only matcha I've had locally that competes was at an ERIA Events gathering, but that's not exactly a walk-in situation, so it doesn't count.) If you're in Sausalito specifically looking for matcha, this is the place. They're also great with substitutions, service is quick, and the owner has a genuinely warm, welcoming presence--lots of friendly back-and-forth with regulars, which adds to the atmosphere rather than distracting from it. I didn't try the pastries or sandwiches this time (not much of a pastry person), though everything looked solid. Outdoor seating exists, but with the weather being a bit unpredictable lately, indoor is the move. Fair warning: parking is a hassle. I parked in the lot near Trident, and while it worked, the valet experience was... unpleasant enough that I probably wouldn't do it again. Plan accordingly. All in all, this is a comfortable, local-feeling café with excellent matcha, good energy, and enough seating to make it a reliable go-to. It may not be the "scene," but it's exactly the kind of place you end up recommending when someone asks, "Where do you actually like to go?"

All the pastries are freshly made, and put into the display window for you to choose what you would like. The hot drinks are made as soon as you order. No longer than a 5-10 min wait time if you want a latte with a pastry. The service is good, the chef talks with everyone and has a good vibe. I got the chai latte, i probably wouldn't get it again because it was too sweet, but definitely a latte next time. The cinnamon bun was huge, and delicious. Definitely need to pair it with a hot drink but nothing too sweet. Overall a great place and we will be back for sure!

When we walked in, we smelled the sweetness of fresh pastries. We heard they are famous for their blueberry & banana bread pudding. The employees greeted us and were ready to help us with our order. There were so many things to pick from. At first glance I couldn't find the bread pudding. I asked if they were out of it. They were just about to bring a fresh batch out from the kitchen. Thank goodness . We ordered a piece of the blueberry & banana bread pudding, a slice of the apple strudel and a blueberry lemon scone. The blueberry & banana bread pudding was the best bread pudding I've ever had. It was warm, moist, sweet and loaded with blueberries. It was amazing. A must try if you are in the area. The apple strudel was very good and not too sweet. The blueberry lemon scone was also full of blueberries and was delicious. This bakery did not disappoint. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Sausalito.

Don't assume you'll grab a place to sit, especially if you're visiting peak hours. The toast was good, but at $9 I expected something more memorable, so I'd skip that next time. I also overheard an issue at the register where a customer was told their ham croissant was no longer available because it had been given to someone else after they'd already ordered it. The staff offered to substitute something else but couldn't process a refund, and there weren't many other options. I would have been so disappointed if that were me! Overall, it was a decent experience, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

The waffles we ordered had less almond butter, too much sweet syrup, and noticeably fewer fruits. It felt like we were getting more waffle, just bread, and much less of the healthy toppings. On top of that, the prices are higher. Paying around $50 for three waffles, with only a few blueberries and roughly one banana in total, just doesn't feel right.

While Cafe Del Soul does make satisfying and flavorful food, the price hurts the appeal. The…read moredressings are delicious but otherwise the ingredients could be easily acquired from a market for a fraction of the cost. The greens, proteins and vegetables are raw and don't justify $20 for a salad. While some of the prices seem reasonable on the menu, once you add tofu or more substantive fixings, it looks pretty steep. Therefore, it's a good place to refuel after a hike or to stop by if you're in the area but not worth a trip given that you could recreate these dishes at home. They offer a solid meal, but in the grand scheme of things, there are better healthy bowl joints to eat at that offer more unique options for a fairer price.

Buckeye Roadhouse has such a classic, cozy vibe that immediately feels special--you can tell it's a place people come back to. First things first: make a reservation. This place is popular for a reason. The food absolutely did not disappoint. I ordered the chicken dish, and it was hands-down my favorite--perfectly cooked, flavorful, and comforting in the best way. The tuna tataki was another standout: fresh, beautifully presented, and light but satisfying. Every plate that hit the table felt thoughtful and well-executed. And then... the s'more pie. Wow. Easily one of the best desserts I've had in a long time and the perfect way to end the meal--rich, nostalgic, and totally indulgent without being overwhelming.

Already planning to return for a date night because it just has that romantic, timeless feel. Highly recommend if you're looking for great food, a polished experience, and a spot that feels like a treat every time.
