    Tres leche cakes with strawberries inside is always the customers favorite.
    Yolie C.

    This place deserves a 10 stars or more for sure. My family and I been coming here since it open and they never disappoint with the pasties, coffee, cakes and always the customer service is great. People are so nice, professional, patient and pay attention to what you are requesting. I have all my friends from Orange County and the IE coming here for their pastry needs as well. Love this place

    This little spot has been popping up when I have searched for different local coffee spots to try. Finally decided to pop in with the family this weekend. The place is pretty small, but the tables were available. Service was great. We were acknowledged as soon as we walked in despite there being a few people being attended. I ordered iced horchata latte and my husband got the Nutella latte. Sandwiches, I shared with my son, he chose tuna, and husband went with the pesto. Drinks were delicious, and so were the sandwiches. We ordered a few desserts to go and those too were delicious. Definitely regret not going sooner.

    I actually went in January but i'm giving them a review now because i just remembered! A lady helped me and my friend out she was so sweet and the drinks were so tasty! Amazing service and food Such a cute cafe very welcoming.

    Breakfast burrito w/egg,bacon & hash browns

    Marin Cafe is a small place but very clean and cute. The Owner was very cool and gave great service. I had the Best breakfast burrito in Pico RiveEggs, Bacon and hash browns. They do come with ham and cheese but I didn't want it with those items. Very accommodating. I also had the "strawberry one bite" pastry. It was very delicious. I will be back to try cream puffs and another breakfast burrito

    So far I only tried the bread pastry. Tasted like stale hot dog bun, cream was just ok, and fruit is old. Besides the oranges, the fruit displayed on the cake looks old too. We had to make an extra trip to the market to replaced everything with fresh fruit. Sincerely hoping the cake is decent, if not then I have no idea how this place has a 4.7 rating. I will update once I try the cake. Service was friendly so two stars. Update: If you're looking for a moist and tasty cake, this is not it. Highly not recommended. Would never ever come back. Thank God we had a backup cheesecake from somewhere else.

    We ordered a slice of cake, a breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich on sourdough bread. The breakfast was hot and fresh! I loved that, it was about $30 for everything. The burrito came with a salsa, it wasn't too spicy. The sandwich had honey mustard I believe but it was good. Both were very filling and the cake was so so good! It was definitely made with fresh blueberries. The woman who took our order was kind as well. There's 3 tables in there but the place is pretty small like a cafe.

    Thank you for the beautiful graduation cake. As always, a very pleased customer. The cake was moist and flavorful and beautifully decorated, made to order.

    Pasties

    A cute coffee and pastry shop with great service, came by for a cup of coffee and ended up ordering their waffles and tuna sandwich. The lady at the counter recommended their horchata coffee and chocolate abuelita, I'll say their chocolate abuelita was fantastic. The horchata coffee needed a bit more flavor. The French toast were fluffy and tasty I would recommend trying them. Many folks were coming in to pick up care orders, so next time I come I'll give it a try. Parking is a. Bit challenging as it's shared with several other businesses.

    Excellent little community cafe that serves delicious breakfast, coffee, and pastries. I regularly order the breakfast burrito or omelettes, my daughter loves the pancakes.

The waiters are really cool, very nice. This place is legit run by Guatemalans which was pretty cool.

Anywaaaay - I tried the trio tostadas, a tamal and a Mayan iced latte. The tostadas were great. They were very fresh. They're very simple. One is black bean, one is avacado and one is chicken salad. My favorite was the chicken salad. I used their green salsa and it was delicious. The tamales was good. Today I learned I don't really like the flavor of banana leaf that gets absorbed into the tamal. Also, it was primarily made of rice. It had a piece of bell pepper, a little chicken and I think a plum. Aside from the banana leaf I liked the tamale. The latte was delicious. Nice coffee flavor and sweetened perfectly. Definite recommend and I will for sure be back.

I always order the matcha with 1.5 scoops of matcha, vanilla syrup, and light ice, and it's consistently perfect every single time, rich, smooth, not watered down, and clearly made with quality matcha.

Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet, just really well done. Beyond the drinks, the vibe is what really sets Roam & Brew apart. It's always busy for a reason. Friendly staff, welcoming energy, and a place that genuinely feels like it was built for the community. You never feel rushed or like just another order. Consistency, quality, and care are everything in a coffee shop, and Roam & Brew nailed all three. It's obvious how much thought goes into what they serve and how they show up for customers.

That's when we noticed the coffee bar. Service was friendly and they do have a good selection to choose from. I stopped on a Friday morning for fuel (coffee) before running errands, and went with the strawberry horchata cold foam. I was pleasantly surprised. It was perfect and not overly sweet. I also got a pistachio crescent, warm, and was delicious. I stopped by the following morning, and went with the pumpkin spice chai latte, which was perfect! And pistachio crescent to share with my son, which he ended up taking, despite him not having a sweet tooth for baked goodies like I do. Highly recommend this little spot!!

The last time I reviewed it was because I had a particularly bad experience with an employee, and this update to my last review is because of the same issue with a different employee by the name of Anna-Yi (?) I swear the baristas behind the counter here are some of the nicest workers I've encountered, so I'm confused as to why it's always someone in management who breaks that streak? I'm not even that delicate to where every unpleasant interaction deserves a review, I just actually can't believe these things until I write them down. I was waiting for my drink (small iced latte, exxtra ice in a large cup) when I heard my name called and a barista was waiting for me to tell me that I had to pay for the extra milk to fill the large cup. I explained that I wanted no extra milk and that I expected a cup full of ice, to which she argued with me in every possible direction, even insinuating that she was going to have to "re-train" the barista who rang me up. I asked her if she would feel satisfied with me paying for the "extra" milk as long as the cup isn't filled to the top and she just goes "Oh if you don't want extra milk then you don't have to pay for it." and from there I just agreed with everything she said. I was too dizzy to stand my own ground at that point. Completely unnecessary. Prime example of someone riding a power trip.

My friend grabbed a table while I placed the order. -they do have a good amount of seating. The place is pretty small though. So we sat for a minute after our drinks came out and then decided to take it to go -they have latte art that changes every month. So I like they have some rotating options. It was my turn and I ordered two sugar free mocha iced coffees. One with regular foam, And mine had strawberry foam. When I told Matthew at the counter it was really important the one drink be as sugar free as possible due to my friend being diabetic, he warned us there was sugar in the foam, but he would go as light as possible.

I picked the new hello kitty art of the month (hello kitty in a bathing suit with waves and dolphins) And my friend picked from the new monthly latte art as well, and got the Kirby character Even though it was busy, it took probably 2 minutes for our drinks to be made Matthew was absolutely great. His energy, he had a smile on his face, was knowledgeable about the menu, Matthew was everything you'd want in a staff member.
