I arrived early and had some time to kill before going to the office. I had a gift card I've been meaning to use and decided to order an Iced Mint Mojito with a toasted Almond Croissant. The girl who help me was very kind and pleasant to speak with. The ambiance at this location has nice mood lighting when its still sort of dark outside. Areas for sitting, it felt very neighborhoody where it looked like several people would go there to meet up with friends to chat. I wonder if there could be even more seating inside if they tried to fit a few more smaller tables, or areas to sit, they probably could.

Eh I don't know if the cashier was having a bad day, but I asked if I can give him my code on the…read moreapp so i can get my rewards points. He responded with such attitude about doing it on the screen versus simply asking for the code. He kept pushing for me to follow the screen directions to put my phone number. Karma always comes through because of course, I followed his direction and it didn't work, so he ultimately still needed my code. All those steps only to do what I asked from the beginning. His tone was rude and his attitude was unnecessary. We both wasted time. I hope your cashiers get more training on how to speak and treat customers. I gave 2 stars because their coffee and food is good.

Equator Coffees in Larkspur is located in such an adorable downtown area. There's a Boichik Bagels,…read moreice cream spot, park across the street, and Perry's/other eateries next door. It's the perfect spot sandwiched in between all of the above for truly any time of day. Arriving mid-morning, we wanted to try something unique and different from their seasonal menu. Continuing on my search for trending happiness in a cup, we ordered the Banana Cream (cold brew topped with banana cold foam). Banana is having a moment, and we're here for it! It's so refreshing and delicious. I love banana, so this was right up my alley! Looks like other banana flavored drinks offered are the Banana Matcha Cloud and the Iced Caramelized Banana Latte. Def recommend if banana is in your top five rotation of the summer too. We also grabbed a pack of their seasonal beans for home, the Super Bloom blend ~ a light roast for the spring season! To note, there is a super cool kickback of proceeds of this blend. Find more about it in-store or on their website. Overall, this would be my go-to spot if I was in the area more. Friendly and quick service, and a fun menu also filled with tasty treats for brekky, snack, lunch, the in-between, to-go, and more.

I have like 50 check ins on YELP here, and I'm quite sad to drop my rating from 5 to 3...but the…read morepast times I've gone here it's been so different than days past. I did reach out to management to share my concerns, and they were very receptive and kind about it. But, the issues with the employees in the shop continue. There's a new-ish batch of employees and the vibe is not the same. On the last few visits, I experienced some hiccups with my name or order. On my visit today, I was returning a bag of coffee that had been ground incorrectly (we did an online order, asked for French press-coarse- online, and yet we got the finest grind). This is sadly the second time this has happened. We had so many bags of coffee prior to with no issues, and now the last two have been wrong. Moving forward if we come here, we will check the grind before we leave the shop. The lack of education with this new batch of people is really upsetting. The guy today didn't understand what I was asking, and instead he wanted to charge me for the bag of coffee. Another employee told me they couldn't re-grind the coffee to make it more coarse. Oh my. I had to explain to another employee that this bag was wrong, and we would need a new bag, and with the coarse/ French press grind. I showed them all my phone, opened up to the app and our order, with the line item of fresh press/coarse grind. Then a nice employee that was very busy jumped in and explained it to them as well. It took 3 employees to figure it out. This location is always busy, as it's the downtown Larkspur hub for cyclists, families with young kids, and execs. I've heard others complaining to each other about this same issue. It's a bummer that it now just feels more like a corp coffee chain pushing out product vs the warm, welcoming small town top notch employees they had that always greeted you, and were chatty and efficient even when things got crazy busy there.

Attended a book signing here ( for the incredible author Lisa See)…read more This event was run with experienced precision. I signed up on line 3 months ago, received confirmation, updates, reminders and final instructions, and walked into a smooth and organized check in process. With books in hand, we went to the other side of the store where there were several beautifully set white linen covered tables with gorgeous centerpieces (wish I took more photos of them): 2 books with a tea cup and small flower arrangement consisting of a hydrangea and gerbera daisy and a fan- perfectly appropriate. The napkins were pretty too! I appreciate these things!! Then back to the front to meet Lisa, take a photo if desired and get your book signed. All of this for approximately an hour while those who had their books signed, got to meet and converse with the other others at our tables. Lunch and drinks ( including champagne, iced tea and lemonade) was served buffet style outside, and the food was EXCELLENT ( please know that my husband and I returned from an Alaskan Disney Cruise just four days ago, so for us to be amazed by the food says something about the food!!) There were rollers packed with incredible curried chicken ( OMG, sooo good), salmon and lots of it), turkey, and ham and cheese. The Chinese chicken salad was fantastic, and the fruit salad looked as amazing as it tasted, fresh and high-quality fruit.so pretty!!! A whole bunch of employees continually refilled our water carafes throughout the event as well. Everyone was attentive and very friendly. Yummy cookies were also served for dessert and coffee and tea were offered as well. However, the true highlight was Lisa speaking about her research process, her personal history, and the characters of the book itself. I believe she spoke for about 45 minutes and then took several questions from the attendees. She then went on to sign books for those who did not have them signed, and I got to interact with several staff members. Special mention to Allison who made the beautiful centerpieces, introduced Lisa and Thomas who made the fruit salad and appeared instrumental in the food aspect of the event. Finally, I have never been to this bookstore and know nothing of its history, but they have an amazing selection of books, very well displayed, and divided into two different stores in the same location. We left with about seven more books, but could have easily purchased more. I cannot recommend this independent bookstore enough, and would definitely attend more of these events here if I didn't live in an other state! Thank you all again for an incredible event.

The Ube Chai Latte had a nice balance of chai spices and ube flavor, and the mango drink was refreshing. My drink ended up being a little too sweet, but that was probably because I added mango splash and swapped the honey boba for lychee jelly. The customization options are great, and I'd probably just adjust the sweetness next time. Friendly service, good drinks, and definitely worth a visit.

Review #009 - 2026…read more I've been to Teaspoon A LOT lately, maybe too often for my own good! This location is within driving distance from our church so I normally take the kids here after they've behaved themselves for a nice, sweet treat! The first time we came wasn't too memorable because they didn't really know what they were doing since the place was still pretty new. Our most recent visit warranted a 5-star review. The young man who helped us was extremely helpful and friendly. I don't know his name, but you can see from the photo who he is when you visit this location. Drinks are similar to other locations, but service stands out!

If caffeine had a happy place, it would be right here…read more Welcome to the Peet's that could single‑handedly restore your faith in coffee shops. Now, I don't know what's going on with Peet's Coffee in Nevada, but let's just say the vibe shift is... dramatic. Like "day and night" dramatic. Maybe that's why some Nevada locations are disappearing--because the in‑store experience just isn't hitting the way it should. But let's get back to the star of the show. Peet's Coffee at 77 Casa Buena Dr, Corte Madera is everything a coffee stop should be. Positive energy, great vibes, and consistently amazing drinks. This spot is my go‑to every time I'm in Marin, and honestly, it might be one of the best hangout spots in the entire county. The staff? Friendly every single time. The coffee? Always on point. The atmosphere? Chef's kiss. It's perfectly tucked near shopping, dining, and outdoor spots, making it ideal for people‑watching or just soaking in the Marin charm. The outdoor seating is a total win--grab a book, catch up with friends, or just lean back and admire Mt. Tamalpais doing its majestic thing. And if the universe is feeling generous, you might even spot quarterback Jared Goff grabbing his caffeine fix. Bonus perk: the Corte Madera Library is right across the street. So if you're in the mood to read a newspaper, research something old‑school style, or just wander through a quiet space, it's literally steps away. Bottom line: awesome coffee, great pastries, and consistently good service. This location gets it right every time. If all Peet's were like this one, they'd be opening stores--not closing them.

They got my iced tea order wrong (I ordered two, got one, ordered a second one). Other than that, everything was fine. We arrived at the start of lunch hour so we got there at the right time.

Would rate 3 stars if it weren't for the gluten mishap. I'm lucky I don't have a severe allergy.
