    Donuts!!
    Tyler A.

    We got the chocolate crodough (square, closest), the Bavarian cream w choco and sprinkles (left of crodough), and a vanilla w sprinkles - divine! Parking isn't too bad in the area either... you need to come here today.

    I can't believe I haven't rated Johnny Doughnuts! I love the variety of flavors they offer and the different/seasonal options. Definitely a problem for me living so close, but also a treat because I get to try everything! The staff is always so friendly and I absolutely love the ambiance in the restaurant! It is a staple for a lot of people in the community, and I will always recommend Johnnys for a sweet treat or an iced Chai!

    This is a staple for doughnuts in Marin! The sprinkly guy is a classic that has been a fan favorite for over a decade, and the apple fritter comes in a close second. These doughnuts are HUGE and filling and can easily be split by two people. The staff are always kind, and the benches outside to nibble come in handy.

    I was in the area and wanted something sweet. After I was done running errands i stopped by this Donut establishment for a quick treat. My lil guy was in the mood for a Jelly donut and i was looking for an old fashion/ glazed. I ordered a Strawberry Rhubarb Bismark and a few donuts and a blueberry fritter. The staff was friendly and we were out quickly because there was no wait. Donuts were really good and it was quite large for a single session. The place was definitely worth a stop before our trip to the East bay.

    Oh the crodough

    Huge flavor selection today, buts that's typical of JD's! I choose the chocolate cronut for my birthday gift. I picked the most beautiful twist and the seasonal pumpkin for mom. Thank you JD's for my gift and for making delicious coffee companions in a consistent quality fashion! Thank you to the sweet staff members who are always icing on the donut !

    I was excited to try these doughnuts due to the great reviews, but I was disappointed. I got a vanilla stuffed cream with chocolate and an old fashioned vanilla. The vanilla stuffed cream itself did not have flavor it did not taste like vanilla. The old fashioned was dry and had a wheat like flavor. I did get a Chai latte and that was really good but they don't call you to let you know your drink is ready so you have to be on the look out otherwise your drink will sit there and get cold. The staff and seating area are nice!

    I will say good doughnuts are hard to come by and Johnny doughnuts hit the nail on the head. They have clean oil so the doughnuts don't taste old, they aren't too sweet. We stopped in here a few weeks ago while waiting for a local yarn shop down the street to open and we are so glad we did. There is one in SF closer to us but this was indeed a treat. Each flavor was distinct and perfect. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the flavors and they all looked pretty tasty. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors. The service was great, the ambiance welcoming and made you want to sit down and enjoy a nice cup of coffee and a doughnut but we were in a grab and go kinda of day.

    Cute spot on a quieter stretch of town. These are fancy versions of classic donuts. Nothing too weird here though a lot of higher end ingredients and combinations are available. The donuts are big and substantial, as they should be! I bought an assortment of cake and raised donuts. I actually preferred the raised. The yeasty taste of the buttery dough was really special. The cakes were quite good too and lasted longer in the fridge for decadent treats throughout the week! Ask for advice and suggestions and you won't be led astray. The butter cake was my absolute favorite -- the sweet slightly salty glaze soaked into the cake and was just perfect. The glazes are subtle, so much so that I couldn't detect the flavors in some. This combined with my lost short-term memory made eating these an adventure.

    Huge fan of Johnny Doughnuts! Every time I'm in Marin county, I'm coming by! This location has indoor seats and is more of a donut shop vibe. It's not as presentable or modern looking like the Larkspur location but it'll definitely do. I stopped in for a classic glaze and coffee flavored donut which were both fantastic. Because I came a little late around 9am, the donuts were a bit dry BUT still yummy and excellent. I can't wait to come back again!

    Strawberry donut
    Nirsh A.

    My first time trying Johnny doughnuts. We stopped here in San Rafael on our way up to point Reyes. I loved the strawberry frosting on here. It tasted so perfect and sweet. Might be a hot take but I didn't like how thick the doughnut was. I would prefer it was a bit thinner. I had half left over and didn't get around to eating it until 2 days later which by then it was pretty hard.

    Strawberry rhubarb Bismarck with crumble
    Lorissa W.

    After our breakfast at The Farm House Local in Larkspur, we came to Johnny's Donuts for coffee and donuts. We got here about 10 AM and the selection today was amazing. I got every donut that I wanted which included a blueberry glazed raised donut, chocolate caramel old fashioned donut and a seasonal strawberry rhubarb donut with a crumble and glaze. The chocolate caramel donut has a nice cinnamon dusting underneath the chocolate and yummy caramel and this is definitely the best old fashioned donut I have ever had. It's my second time having this old fashioned donut. It has layers of strong flavor, very sweet and an amazing crunchy crust. The seasonal Bismark today was extraordinary and the strawberry and rhubarb was thick and fruity. It tasted like a puree and not too sweet but just fruity. The crumble added lots of interest and texture and was not overly sweet even with the glaze that held it together. It won by a small margin and was our favorite donut beating out the old fashioned chocolate caramel and the blueberry glazed donut.

    Is there wifi? Do people work on their laptops here?

    I've seen people work from here numerous times since they do have WiFi, however, it does get a bit loud which is why I don't work from here. They have tall ceilings so the noise echoes a bit when families come in and this place always seems packed.… 

    Is this a good place to work from?

    With those delicious wafting smells I couldn't focus. No, not the best vibe to get any real work done in. No one hangs out that long....

    When is the SF location going to open?

    On Instagram, they keep saying "soon" and in one picture it almost looked like they might be open (but I think that might have been a photo outside the existing location in San Rafael). Best estimate seems to be in a matter of weeks.

    When do they do off the grid and where in San francisco?

    Check the Off the Grid website. Vendors alternate all the time.

Our wedding venue has a list of about a dozen approved caterers, and we went with Sage because it fit our budget--they came in at about half the price of other caterers on the list. So imagine our surprise when we arrived at our tasting a couple of months before the wedding and every dish blew us away with the quality of the ingredients and craft of preparation. Meredith and the Sage team are so thoughtful about producing a menu that takes advantage of the best in-season produce and other high-quality ingredients, and even when cooking for over 180 people everything is prepared to perfection. We really feel like we struck gold working with Sage--many of our foodie-est friends were telling us that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. We also appreciated that Sage was very accommodating for our vegan and gluten free guests, and that their family style options include many dishes that are already vegan/gluten free, ensuring that nobody was short of options for delicious food. Sage also helped us realize our vision for our bar menu, helping provide fresh lime and lemon juice for our signature cocktails and providing skillful bartenders to keep all our guests satisfied. Our day-of catering manager also did a fantastic job making sure we were fed and happy, bringing us appetizers while we were signing our marriage license, checking in with us during dinner to make sure we had everything we needed, and even preparing to-go boxes for us in case we were hungry at the end of the night. We're confident Sage is offering better food and service than many caterers that are twice the price. We're so happy we chose them for our wedding!

We knew we wanted to work with Sage from the start, so I didn't realize until later that most places let you do a tasting before booking. Sage doesn't, and we actually couldn't do our tasting until just a few months before our date. Based on the creativity of their menu and so many great reviews I didn't worry though - and am happy to add another to the list of people saying the same thing! The food was excellent, fresh, and creative, and many people have raved to me about the salmon. The experience working with them was also very good - during cocktail hour they made sure my husband and I got appetizers, even bringing us a plate with a couple of each, which was so appreciated. They also did an excellent job with the bar, even figuring out changes on the fly - my dad wanted one of our signature drinks that was grapefruit based, without the grapefruit. They made a lemon version for him in the moment, and then remembered just what to make him each time he came back! We did need to order all the tableware rentals and alcohol ourselves, however Meredith was an excellent partner through the planning process, and guided us really well on what we needed, and how much of everything to get. We picked out the styles we wanted with the rental company and then she worked with our planner and the rental company to handle the order details and quantities of everything, something I wouldn't have known where to start with. They also provided all the fresh juices and garnishes for the bar. Our venue also had tricky drop off and pick up requirements, and she executed all of that seamlessly. Thank you to Sage for a wonderful wedding dinner!

I'd have to say that by now, we have ordered every item on their menu - including the lechon, and we've gotten great feedback from family & friends.

My husband and I were set on having pupusas for our wedding, and it was a surprisingly difficult thing to accomplish. From all of our efforts and research, pupuserias don't really do wedding catering, and wedding caterers don't really do pupusas, but Chef Matt pulled it off for us on a whole nother level of excellence! When we originally reached out to him, he just said that they could do it, and we were ecstatic. At our first tasting, he had already gone to his local pupusa spot to analyze the timing, and watch the whole process. He hadn't done pupusas before, but had the drive, determination, and confidence to pull it off for us. When our wedding day came, we along with every one of our guests were absolutely blown away by the quality of every bit of food and drinks that they provided us all with. He was able to find the wife of a Salvadoran friend, and her mother, to help him make them all fresh on our wedding day, on a plancha that they were able to bring. The vibe was incredible, the food was impeccable, and even the Salvadorans attending were incredibly impressed. From the yucca fries to the plantain chips, from the guacamole to the curtido, from the coffee to the agua frescas, from the salsas to the amazing service, from the compostable serving ware to the incredible bartender. People still can't stop raving. The pupusas, the dips, the black chili salsa, the coffee, just everything. Kharma worked with us relentlessly over every tiny detail to get all of it right, and everything came together SO beautifully, and went SO smoothly without even the smallest hitch.
