Even though they were technically done for the day, she welcomed us in and offered my daughter a cookie from the extra batch she'd made--such a thoughtful gesture. Not something we expected at all, just a lovely reflection of her warmth. The cookies were delicious, and the kindness made our day. We'll definitely be back during regular hours!

My wife and I were told to check out Le Marais Bakery for really good, authentic French pastry…read more That turned out to be solid advice. For an afternoon pick me up, we shared a chocolate croissant and a slice of vanilla flan tart. The croissant was baked to perfection and the flan had a perfect subtle sweetness. It was a very warm day... and we sat outside in the building's shaded courtyard with a nice breeze. It was way to savor really good food and great company.

What a great find in the Mill Valley Lumber Yard…read more We stopped into Flour Craft Bakery for lunch and ordered three avocado toasts--two with salmon and one plain. All three were spectacular. The presentation was beautiful, the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, and the hot sauce added just the right amount of kick. Every bite felt healthy, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The outdoor seating is abundant, making it easy to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The Lumber Yard itself has a great vibe, and Flour Craft fits right in with its casual, welcoming feel. The biggest surprise was the value. Lunch for four came to just $56, which felt more than reasonable considering the quality of the food and the location. Fresh, delicious, beautifully presented, and affordable--a combination that's getting harder to find these days. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Mill Valley.

Custom made according to dietary restrictions, the chocolate one was unlike anything I've ever tasted! Not too sweet and SO fresh. And it was seamless to arrange to have them delivered to the birthday party location. It's wonderful to have both a considerate and gourmet style dessert service option per se for even our little ones that require it!

Food is superb! Wonderful carrot, cake, carrot cake, cupcakes, and almond croissants.read more

Very traditional authentic Italian bakery and coffee house. From their apple crostata to their…read morepanettone (fruit cakes). They have a variety of pastries and desserts. All made in house and some that are imported. We love their true espresso(s) and Americano that are just fabulous. This is a very local spot in Larkspur which is a quant and very Europe inspired businesses. Our wives loved it of course. There are plenty of places to eat and drink at a cafe. We were lucky it was a very nice and warm day. Enjoy!

Had a very nice experience when I came here to get my coffee while on my way to John Muir Woods…read more Inside is small, but they had pup style seating and little tables. They also had some tables outside, but it was too cold for me. I ordered a hot banana caramelized latte, which was so amazing. It really hit the spot. It warmed me up inside and the banana flavor was very comforting. Everyone was very nice inside and my coffee was done in a decent time. Didn't really have to wait too long which was kind of nice since I had a reservation at john muir.

This is my favorite equator location. Not for people watching (go to their Miller Ave location for…read morethat), & not because the drinks are somehow better here or anything; Equator drinks are consistent throughout all of their locations. It's THIS particular location... On CA-1 in Mill Valley, it's so conveniently on the way to downtown Mill Valley, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes...etc, etc. But regardless of where you're going, stopping in here feels like you're on vacation. Beach/ocean/surf culture. The vibe is a thousand percent beach hut/surf shop, even with no actual beach in sight. How charming is that? Somehow browsing surfboards, even when you don't surf, assuages that unfulfilled dream, or fuels your standing wanderlust. Did you know that Thomas Keller serves Equator coffee at all of his properties? They partnered up 25 years ago, & equator even does special blends at certain TK restaurants. Even though Equator is available at grocery stores now, you should still come here. 5 star coffee in another 5 star location

A friend has been raving to us about Bob's donuts for a while and when we tried their Nob Hill…read morelocation, we were underwhelmed. This time around, we came bright and early and got a handful to try. This is what everyone's talking about with the best soft and chewy texture, so much fluffiness in every bite and some donuts are quite decadent. This place is a must visit! It's also better than their other location in terms of vibes. I like all the art and how open the area is. Happy we gave Bob's a second try!

I wasn't sure if the one in Mill Valley was the same/related until I saw the logo. Yes! So we stopped in around 4pm. I bought 4 donuts. Got into the car and my kid is like... WHY ARE THEY ALL COLD?? Weird. I've had bad donuts but never ever have I gotten a cold donut from a donut shop. Like the texture and temperature is what you'd expect from a donut you just pulled out of the refrigerator. We ate all four donuts anyway cuz donuts and hungry. But we won't be back. And if you're unsure, don't waste your time or money. Unless of course you like cold donuts. Or maybe call ahead to ask first. I dunno. I'm just confused why they were cold. There was a steady stream of customers at that time too.

Poised elegantly at the corner of Throckmorton and Miller, and facing the Mill Valley Depot,…read morealthough this is not the first Equator coffee location, it's certainly iconic. Locals with their dogs walk here, and mingle with the out-of-towners, hikers, and bicyclists who all enjoy a quality cup of coffee or other drink, paired with fancy pastries or select lunch items. Their seasonal drink menu is always worth a try; turmeric or matcha or cacao are always a good match with the Equator-roasted beans, purchased and shipped direct from sustainable and family farms. There is select seating inside, additional benches outside, and an abundance of seating across the street at the Depot, where summer music festivals and farmers market booths are known to occasion. Arrive for the delicious coffee, stay for the chill vibes. ‍

They work hard back there to ensure that no one waits for too long. They have excellent lattes and a solid host of seasonal drinks as well. They also have prepared foods such as overnight oats, which are really good. It's quite crowded in the shop itself with both people waiting for their drinks and people enjoy enjoying their drinks, so I opted to take mine to go and walk around town.
