I come here at least once a week on a bike ride and I have a wonderful time without fail. Sit and look at the water, talk to the man behind the counter. He always has a fun quip to start the day.

I ordered the giant cinnamon roll and a large oatmeal cookie to take on the road. Unfortunately, neither lived up to my expectations. The cinnamon roll was more like plain bread with very little cinnamon flavor or frosting, and the oatmeal cookie tasted more like flour than oats or spices. As an SF native who's tried a lot of great bakeries, this one just didn't stand out. I really wanted to love it because the setting is so relaxing and beautiful, but the baked goods fell short for me.

I was asked by 2 different baristas if I had "really" asked for it iced. I understand the frustration of having to redo something but the way it was approached was disappointing. Once I received the coffee it was okay. I had come with others who did not like the hot mocha. Very little chocolate flavoring. The allergen friendly options were disappointing. They had several but they all had multiple allergens and were stored together. There was an almond cookie, walnut brownie and a sesame pastry all stored within the same container. As someone with allergies that cannot have cross contamination having all of the options in the same case was upsetting. I cannot have sesame and someone else I was with has a nut allergy while also being gluten free. The atmosphere was quiet. There were several regulars asking where people were traveling from and a nice back patio to enjoy the coffee. It was a beautiful town to walk around but for the future I will check out another one of the available coffee shops on the same block.

But once you get the hang of it, it works out okay. Equator has an assortment of casual fare that you order and are given a number. I came here for breakfast and sat outside on the patio. They do have seating indoor as well, but it being a lovely day, it's always nice to eat al fresco. These seats are indeed coveted, especially on the weekends. The day I was here, a woman had beef with me because I only had coffee and didn't have a number (indicating that I had ordered food). Not go to into too much detail, but we kindly told her that these seats are for everyone. I did end up ordering food a few minutes later, was given a number for the table, and tried their veggie omelette ($13), which was delicious. Featuring goat cheese, kale, poblano chile, red bell pepper, roasted potatoes & ciabatta toast, it was just the right amount. I felt like waving my number in that lady's face, but I have more tact and class than that. Anyway, would come back here again, number or no number.

If I was a local, Sausalito Equator would be my designated caffeine spot. The service here is…read moreamazing - friendly, approachable, having conversations as if we were familiar. The vibe is chill, no false pretense airs - down to earth, welcoming you in to stay for a while. The coffee is spectacular with selections of flavor options true to their description including The Habibi Latte ($6.25) the Caramelized Banana Latte ($6.50) and the Strawberry Salted Honey Latte ($6.75). On my first visit, I ordered online for store pickup, The Habibi Latte ($6.25) 16 oz ($0.50) with Ghost Town Oat Milk ($0.25), Tigerwalk espresso ($0), double shot (default) in a disposable cup ($0.25). This latte has flavors of orange blossom, cardamom, clove and vanilla syrup. The Habibi Latte was velvety with the flavors of spice and a hint of orange lingering on the tongue. The milk was steamed perfectly, ready to sip and enjoy at the perfect temp. On my second, I ordered at the cafe counter then walked over to the coffee house to pick up my order. The young man at the counter had a beautiful aura, very friendly and engaging - I was grateful the online ordering was not accepting orders, otherwise I would had missed out on this experience. My order this round was the Caramelized Banana Latte ($6.50) 16oz ($0.50) with Ghost Town Oat Milk ($0.25), Mexico Pluma Oaxaca espresso ($0.50), Extra single shot ($1.25) with the default double shot in a disposable cup ($0.25). The profile is house made banana spice syrup. It reminds me of a banana foster, delicate with a pronounced balanced flavor. The drink is creamy, with a Caramelized banana flavor lingering on the tongue - so satisfying. The banana is far from overpowering, complimenting the caramel notes. I purchased a couple bags of beans, hoping to relive the essence of Sausalito Equator coffee at home.

This week, Michaels brought me to Sausalito and The Spinnaker... a nice restaurant in a beautiful…read morelocation with panoramic windows and a beautiful view of the bay, San Francisco, and the very top of the Golden Gate Bridge. There was something indescribable, though, that hinted that they rely on the picturesque views to make up for food that is "good" - but not "great." Let's start on a positive note. You can't beat the view. Our server was well informed about the menu, attentive, and friendly - but unwilling to help too much with the menu selections. "Everything is good" is a bit of a pet peeve of mine but I'm not holding this against the rating of this restaurant as that's pretty server-specific. We started with a half dozen local oysters on the half shell which were actually amazing. Perhaps the most mild tasting oysters I have ever had and served with a champagne mignonette, cocktail sauce, and fresh horseradish - all of which paired nicely. For my main course, I had the petrale sole - a very mild, delicate, Pacific flatfish. While flaky and tender, it did lack flavor and was served with some relatively uninspired accompaniments - a saffron rice and some roasted vegetables which was mostly green beans and celery. One of my friends ordered the paella which he said was "great." Overall very decent experience on par with so many other coastal restaurants that know they can fill the seats with the amazing views alone. I would definitely come back - but would likely order something different... except for the oysters - those were a must to order again!

Not even the beautiful view of the bay could make up for the bad experience we had. My siblings and…read moreI wanted to take our mom out on a nice lunch and we were unfortunately met with bland food and poor service. We ordered a burger, the ravioli and the penne. While the ravioli and burger were alright, not bad but not worth the hefty price tag, it was the penne that had us astonished. There was not a hint of salt or seasoning. It was so bland, it tasted like they took the pasta straight out of a boiling pot of water, added a dash of oil, and called it a day. It's unacceptable for a dish charged at $28.95. And perhaps I could have overlooked the expensive mediocre dishes had it not been for the fact that the service was incredibly disappointing. Now I'm not going to say it outright, but when all the tables on every side of yours get checked up on throughout the meal except your own, it starts to feel very deliberate. When we tried to ask for the bill, the waiter nodded their acknowledgement before disappearing for a prolonged period of time. We come to find out he ended up going to a different table to cut a cake. Okay then. We try to flag down a different waiter but no one would even look in our direction nor acknowledge us as they passed by. It was genuinely shocking. We were finally able to get the bill after my brother walked directly up to someone at the bar. I wasn't originally going to leave a review, but the more I thought about it after we left, the more upset I got with the whole ordeal. You can only get away with bad food or bad service. Pick a struggle.

Outside seating was relaxing and the views complimented the evening. Nice to see staff members with smiles on their faces, don't always see that at a restaurant! Fharid was the server, ever attentive, but just enough! What's important...the food! Romaine Caesar Salad - just enough of the flavorful dressing to compliment the salad. Roasted Half Chicken - tender and absolutely delicious. Portions were very filling. A wonderful homemade peach mint chutney enhanced the flavor option if you so wished. I love chutney, wished I could buy a bottle to take home! Dark Chocolate Cake - words can't describe how good it was! Dark chocolate cake, sour cherries, fresh whipped cream - a piece of chocolate art. Hated to destroy the dessert, but I did! It was decided I should meet the baker. She came out and I thanked her again for the beautiful and flavorful surprise. The Bungalow Kitchen: Great evening, wonderful food, atmosphere is superb, lucky to live nearby.
