Advertises itself as a "Jew-ish" deli, and that's about accurate: the food is pretty good, but not quite there as real NY-style deli cuisine. I had what I always get at delis: matzo ball soup and a pastrami sandwich. The matzo balls were hard and thick, which is one of the two ways to make matzo balls, the other being soft and fluffy. This way isn't wrong, but the other is better. The broth is good, but there was no shredded chicken in it, just tiny cubes of inconsistently cooked vegetable, celery and onion and I'm not sure what all else. The pastrami was quite lean but managed to be fairly juicy. I'm pretty sure it was made from brisket, which is not the canonical pastrami cut. The important part is that it tasted like pastrami and not like brisket, which a lot of would-be pastramis can't manage. Get it "tradition" style on rye with deli mustard. Small place in a yuppie shopping center. Order at the counter, wait (a very short time) for your food to be brought to your table or counter spot. Daily newspapers for you to read. read more

On my most recent visit, I came for take out about an hour before they were closing. The cashier and a woman in the kitchen looked absolutely miserable. No greeting. No smile. I ordered my sandwich, which was good. And the shop is cute. But, the bad attitude was stifling. read more

We went to the new San Francisco location.Very creative design. The staff was nice. Jewish Deli? I don't think so. Pastrami Sandwich....$25. 1/4 " slices of "pastrami". No Fat No peppered edges. Call it what you like BUT not A Jewish Deli Like Pastrami Sandwich. read more

I don't know what happened to the pastrami on this sandwich, but it's disgusting. I've never seen it like this and I've ordered this a dozen times. If this is a new method or recipe, please do not continue with it. I'm so disappointed and grossed out. read more

We split the pastrami sandwich. It was 25 bucks and perfect for two of us. Very delicious. It's counter style, so you order and then then sit The service was great. The ambulance was clean. read more

I have been meaning to try Loveski for a while now and finally went by twice recently. On my first visit the lady behind the counter was very friendly. I ordered a famous yeast bagel with herbed cream cheese to go. It was scrumptious! I loved the combo I got. The bagel was slightly salty which I liked. On my second visit I dined there for lunch. They have several tables inside and outside as well as a counter facing the kitchen. We ordered the matzoh ball soup, the Tribute, and the Braised Brisket. I've never had matzoh ball soup before and it was delicious. It was simple but had lots of flavor. Each sandwich was delicious and hearty. I preferred the crunchy bread from the Braised Brisket sandwich over the soft rye that comes with the Tribute sandwich. The pastrami on the Tribute sandwich was delicious though and they are generous with the portions. There's a bunch of other items I'd like to try on the menu when I return. There's a lot of merch, drinks, and snacks as well near the cash register that's worth checking out. It is located inside a busy shopping center and parking can be hard to find especially on the weekends so be prepared. read more

Went to the Larkspur Hanukkah celebration today and enjoyed Loveski's little latkes onsite with a loved one. The staff were upbeat and warm when we ordered from their table. And what a treat on a colder day today! Three small round potato patties were enough for a small snack for two. Those mini latkes had just the right amount of crunch and flavor. The side of sour cream and apple sauce paired nicely per usual with any latkes. Will be making a note to stop in the restaurant sometime for a full meal. read more

The SF Chronicle recently did a blind bagel test and of course I, a bagel connoisseur, was interested in their findings. I don't spend much time in the North Bay, so ignored their top pick--Loveski's, a modern Jewish deli in Marin. However, one Sunday, I drove up with my tennis captain for a tennis match and she wanted to stop for a snack. I suggested Marin Country Mart, which we were about to drive by. Though I'd read about this waterfront shopping and food destination, I'd never been. Imagine my surprise when I realized Loveski's was here! We walked in and there was a line just after 2pm. I love love loved the decor and ambiance inside--it was old-timey with a cool bar counter and bright colors. The font of their text made it fun and homey. Service was very good. We enjoyed an everything bagel. It was fresh with a unique blend of sunflower seeds, flax, what tasted like salt. Complex flavors and the cream cheese (plain) tasted like perfection. Service was kind, though we waited a bit for our food. There is no bathroom inside, you have to go outside. Would go back if I was in the area! read more

From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, attentive, and very friendly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Would personally recommend the tuna melt, egg salad sandwich or the matzoh ball soup! Will definitely be back and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food, great service in Marin ! read more

Went back a second time, this time for bagels. I had read they were voted the best bagel place in the area had to try. Was disappointed again, The Latkes were deep fried, was like eating baby Hashbrows from McDonalds except you could tell the oil hadn't been changed in forever as they had a burnt taste to them :(.... Pastrami was dry again and the bagels were very sub par. 2 strikes and your out, I won't be back for sure ! read more

After having a mishap at another local bagel shop where they gave me a wheat bagel when I requested a gluten bagel, my partner was kind enough to go to Loveski to try and get me an actual gluten free bagel. We asked for a glove change for my gluten allergy and they were so kind and accommodating. They were very careful and took it very seriously which means so much to me. The bagel was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much Loveski for such a positive experience after having a negative experience at a different bagel shop this morning. We will definitely be going here again for the gluten free bagels! read more

We had a team lunch here after volunteering at the Marin food bank. We were able to find a very large table to accommodate our big group. Everyone ordered items from bagels to salads to scrambled eggs. We all had specialty coffees. I had the green goddess with light dressing and added smoked salmon . It arrived in a giant bowl and was very tasty although it could've used a side of lemon to squeeze in for a little zest. My espresso was perfect. The man that worked there was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed and also volunteered to take a few pictures of us both inside and outside as we were leaving . I was able to get a glimpse of some of the sandwiches going by and they looked delicious. Next time. I will try a sandwich. The pickles are the best I have ever had ! read more

Loveski - Green goddess salad with added smoked salmon and omitted bagel bites topping - Delis Near Me - Larkspur, California

We arrived right when they opened to a warm and inviting team. We asked the sweet woman taking our order what her favorite bagel is...the famous yeast bagel. We ordered coffee, a pastrami egg and cheese on the yeast bagel, as well as a smoked salmon bagel on everything. Both were so delicious and filling, but the pastrami was our favorite. The bagels had a perfect crust on the outside and soft, chewy inside. So good! I wish I was local, because the lunch menu looked incredible! Side note that the location was perfect. We stayed at the Marriott courtyard in Larkspur and walked over to breakfast. Great area!! read more

Loveski seems to be a popular morning stop and is conveniently located across from the larkspur ferry and in this cute little shopping center. Both times we have stopped here for bagels, it's considerably busy. We've tried the herb cream cheese and the onion and chive cream cheese options here with everything bagels as well as the latkes and pastrami sandwich. There is definitely a strong dill taste to most of what we have tried, so keep that in mind. The pastrami bagel sandwich was really filling and a different take on a classic breakfast sandwich option. The latkes are ABSOLUTELY delicious and fresh... They're a must get! read more

6th time here and it is now...Horrible Horrible Horrible Was really good when they first opened and has gone completely downhill :( Employees: Sarah was awesome, very kind and helpful. Later, ordered to go with a different employee, she got the order wrong (see below), lastly.. when I questioned the quality of the bagels the man behind the counter (annoyed) said "it's okay" and walked away. No offer to replace was given! April 16,2025 @ 1:23pm Ordered the following: - The Tribute: was VERY DRY, the bread was nice and soft but the meat was dry & tasteless which made the whole thing DRY! - Avocado & Cucumber: was okay, much better before. The sesame bagel was good.. but they used to serve it open faced with more toppings - it seems as if they are cost cutting with less ingredients - 6 bagels (to go) ... they toasted all of them !!! Defeats the take home & freeze purpose. So when I told them, they seemed perturbed and replaced with non- toasted ones... But they look BURNT! And all the guy said was "it's okay" If you want GOOD Loveski - Go to the original one in Napa at Ox Bow Market! Will I go back to this location? Absolutely NOT! Going to the Napa location next weekend.... Let's see how that goes! read more

Great if you want bland, bready bagels at a premium price. The bagels here are barely better than the non-boiled grocery store bagels. Very disappointing. We ordered a mix of bagels for the whole family and nobody was impressed. read more

Received great service from Gabriel. Ordered the wrong bread and he was able to change it. Excellent customer service!

Hear me out... This spot is nice, fine bagels but not very attentive customer service. I have come here couple of times at this point. Got the salmon bagel specialty one. It's great and tasty. However my last experience wasn't up to my what I would call "good customer experience". I stand in line for 20 minutes give or take. Labor Day weekend. It's hot. I am ready to swallow my bagel. I see that they have at least 5 plain bagels still left. By the time I reach the cashier they only had 1. I asked the cashier to check if they have extra bagels because I wanted 2 plain bagels with smoked salmon. She checked in the back and said no, that's the only 1 bagel. As soon she started taking it, she told me that she can't give me the plain bagel because an online order came in and they have dibs on it. I was stunned. She started by saying "you do understand that because the order came before you, they have dibs on it". I understand it but why the hell you didn't take the bagel out of the front cabinet? To me that's unfortunate situation. I believe that she should have taken the bagel out as soon the online came in so it is not misinterpreted to a customer that they have more bagels. I got a little attitude from her and I didn't like that honestly. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while but every time I've tried the line was out the door. I finally caught them when the line was not as long! I waited in line for about 15 minutes and grabbed some pickles to buy while in line. I ordered the braised brisket Sandwhich and sat down, it took about 15-20 more minutes to get my food. I really liked the Sandwhich and can't wait to go back for another one! The pickles I felt were a waste of money as they literally just tasted like salty cucumbers which was very disappointing. This place I will say is a must try if you are in the area. There were many families sitting around and almost every seat was taken as well so I would suggest get it to go and sit somewhere nice outside! read more

Immediately when I walked in, there was a lady who sounded very stern to her employees. That kind of set the vibe of this place.. Very sad to hear they got rid of their whitefish salad bagel and schnitzel. I settled with the lox bagel and it was whatever. I liked how it was served open faced but there was just a sheath of salmon on each bagel. The shallots were a nice touch and weren't as zingy as red onions which I liked. Overpriced for it's simplicity. Service was mid. I like the way they decorated the place but not enough to come back again. read more

Honestly the food was pretty good! Been eyeing this spot for a while, so bopped in on a weekday and got the Reuben and Green Goddess salad. Great pairing - the tangy salad vibe cut the heaviness of the Reuben. The rye was great too, and the inside had some cute cards and gifts! The woman taking our order wasn't incredibly hospitable, but at least the food was good. read more

Five stars for Loveski! We stopped in for bagels with cream cheese and jam, and they were absolutely delicious -- simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. The store itself is adorable, with a warm, welcoming vibe that immediately makes you feel at home. The staff was friendly and attentive, and honestly, it felt like everyone inside -- staff and customers alike -- was wearing a smile. It's one of those places where good food and good energy go hand in hand. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great spot for breakfast and lunch. Great coffee from Stumptown, their bagels are pretty good too! Ive really come to love their matzoh ball soup and often like the potato pancakes but sometimes a bit oily. I've had the beef brisket sando and its quite good too. Want to try some other dishes as well. read more

Best Matzoh ball soup ever! Love this joint . The outdoor seating is lovely and they always play good tunes .

This is a Marin institution now! We come here for weekend morning bagels, before sports games, for lunch, or just for a snack. My kids love the bagels here. They have other items for food. I've gotten breakfast plates, hot dog bagels, soups, and other sandwiches. You order at the counter and if you're sitting in, they bring the food to you. Overall everyone is friendly and service is great. I hope they stay in Marin as this is probably the best place to get bagels in Marin. read more

Very good bagels with various toppings. The Reuben is good, though I'd prefer to go traditional with kraut rather than kimchi. Had latkes on a previous visit and they were nice and crisp. Would return again on our next trip to Larkspur read more

I've been wanting to try this place for sometime and finally came here on a Tuesday for lunch. Food 3/4: I ordered smoked salmon on an everything bagel. The smoked salmon bagel wasn't anything extraordinary and in fact had very little salmon on it. For $18 I expected a little more smoke salmon. The bagel itself was good and tasted pretty fresh but again nothing special about it. Service 4/5: the bagel took a while to come out despite it not being anything that needed to be really cooked. There wasn't that many people either in the restaurant that would cause a back up and delay in the food coming out either. Parking 5/5: the restaurant sits in a plaza with plenty of Parking. However, parking can get tricky as this plaza can get pretty busy. Overall just an average restaurant. read more

Pros: location, Friendly counter staff, looked clean, the vegetable ingredients looked fresh (heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, dill) flavour of the herb cream cheese. Cons: burnt the sesame bagel! small runny ends of lox, very unappealing and inedible, ruined the whole plate. Small portion of veggies Notified the nice counter person and they corrected it next time. Overall wasn't worth the price. read more

Overpriced and underfed. Imitation of a Jewish Deli. With virtually no competition in Marin how difficult is it to serve an authentic sandwich. No ambience at all. The owner has to rethink his goal of making a good deli or go back to the drawing board. Basically no service because it is order st the counter and mane the bring it to the correct table. read more

Very fresh and the portions are very generous, The pastrami tasted very good but was not very tender . Perhaps, if it had been sliced thinner it would have been better. The pickles were excellent. read more

Mixed experience. 3.5 is probably more accurate. The space is great - bright, spacious, cheerio, cute. The staff is all really nice. I would love to see them tweak their menu - it's such a good concept about so many items just don't sound good or aren't very well executed. But some things are standouts. They have some chickpea thing with peppers and other veggies that is so good. They have a brisket sandwich that would be a knockout if it had good cheese on it, not canned processed cheese sauce. Their bagels are just ok. Heir matzoh ball soup is unique but doesn't do it for me. They have a vegan chickpea sandwich that would be so good with less mayo and some more chopped veggies. They have many locations and they must do well. I always think eating there sounds great but then kind of struggle to find something to order. read more

Unfortunately still not hitting the mark after repeated visits. Service is a bit better but food has gotten worse. The best dish on the menu was the schnitzel sandwich - seems they got rid of that. Food is constantly underseasoned. Pastrami underdone and rubbery. Hope they can turn things around. read more

We stumbled onto this cute little spot!!! I wish we werent on vacation so I could go back regularly! Huge shared parking lot available. The staff were all so kind and answered our menu questions. The bagels were that perfect chewy texture. I've never had a yeast covered bagel before but it was DELISH! The miso veggie cream cheese was very mild. If miso is new to you don't be scared! It adds a nice subtle savory note. They serve Stumptown coffee. read more
