Miracle Mile Cafe in San Rafael absolutely delivered. I ordered the sausage and ham omelette with a gluten free biscuit, and everything was outstanding. The omelette was perfectly cooked, fluffy, packed with flavor, and loaded with quality ingredients. The breakfast potatoes were crispy and seasoned really well, and the gluten free biscuit was honestly one of the best I've had at a breakfast spot. What really makes this place stand out is how many gluten free options they offer without sacrificing quality or taste. It's rare to find a breakfast cafe that takes gluten free dining seriously while still making the food feel indulgent and homemade. The service was exceptional as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish. Between the amazing food, generous portions, excellent gluten free selection, and top notch service, this place easily stands out as one of the best breakfast spots in San Rafael. Highly recommend. read more

I stopped by Miracle Mile for a meal after hitting a massive traffic backup on the bridge, which pushed breakfast out to lunchtime. Luckily, they serve breakfast all day. I ordered the daily special, "Divorced Eggs," which featured two tortillas at the base, ham, eggs, salsa, and avocado. The black beans on the side were a perfect complement. My wife went with the two-egg breakfast paired with veggie patties. She loved the patties and the delicious rye toast. The staff was great and kept the coffee refills coming. The restaurant offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot was completely full, but we easily found street parking and faced no wait to be seated. read more

I'm a self-proclaimed foodie. Not the top of the heap but I know good food when I get it and Miracle Mile is excellent food! Slight variations on many old standards make their dishes stand out in surprisingly delicious ways. You will be very happy your mouth went there. The service was impeccable. From the busser to the owner, perfectly timed check-ins, beverage refills, and a "bit of sour cream for my breakfast burrito, please" were all handled flawlessly without being too intrusive. Smiles all around from the staff and a little extra happiness when they talk with you elevated the experience to superlative. I'll be back. Many times. read more

Excellent food and friendly attentive service at this family owned restaurant, plenty of options for all day breakfast and lunch until 2:30 pm on Sundays. Enjoyed the classic Eggs Benedict with spicy hollandaise and home fries, the sweet cinnamon roll pancakes, basic eggs/home fries/toast breakfast and Corned Beef hash breakfast. Parking is available in a small lot adjacent to the cafe and is wheelchair accessible with plenty of movable tables indoors. There is also an outside patio for nice weather days and counter seating indoors. Appreciated the attention staff gave to our senior citizen and we will return for another tasty meal soon. read more

Staycation in San Rafael and found this cute little cafe for breakfast before heading down to the cypress tunnel and lighthouse. Definitely get the cinnamon roll pancakes. Everything we got fueled us for the sightseeing ahead! The staff were very friendly and attentive. Definitely a must for breakfast or brunch in San Rafael, CA read more

My wife and I decided to grab brunch. I have been seeing Mírale Mile Cafe and wanted to try it. The food was very good and decent portions. I ordered an omelette and was very pleased with my choice. Would definitely order it again. The covered patio was awesome with murals and green vegetation. The neighborhood is ok, but a bit unkept. It's in an area with homeless people wandering around on the street, but once inside the restaurant none of the people outside were noticed. Also, no problem with any of the persons on the street. They just went about their business. Service was great. A lot of families there eating brunch. We will definitely come back. Just a note about parking. It was packed outside because of Safeway nextdoor and San Rafael Convention Center. Worth your time eating here. read more

Great food and service!! The mimosas came with a bottle of champagne if you do the flights. read more

Miracle Mile Cafe - Mimosa Flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Rafael, California

OH, Lawdy, I've died and gone to heaven. They have Gluten-Free pancakes, Gluten-Free waffles, Gluten-Free bread, and Gluten-Free BISCUITS. I will have to settle for savoring different tastes during each visit.... although so far I can't seem to turn away from the GF cinnamon roll pancakes.... They. Are. Aaamazeballs. To be honest I only have my eyes for the breakfast menu so I'm not even sure what they have for lunch but I'm sure there are GF sandwiches you can choose from. The staff is super friendly and always greets with a smile, making it a pleasant start to an early morning. They get pretty busy weekend mornings but during the week it's been nice and peaceful when I stop by on my way to work. They also have an outdoor patio and you can bring your dog! Great spot to start a morning walk with your furry friend!! read more

Miracle Mile Cafe - Gluten-Free cinnamon roll pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Rafael, California

Love their cinnamon roll pancakes! So fluffy and not too sweet! Visited with my mom and her dog. The restaurant was bustling with customers and we entered the waitlist. The line moved pretty fast and we got outdoor seating for the dog. They have LOTS of outdoor seating with umbrellas so you can bring your pets without worrying of overheating them in the sun. There is also indoor seating if you desire that instead. I ordered the Cinnamon Roll pancakes and shared them with my mom. Miracle Mile is known for their pancakes so you know we had to try it. I highly recommend these! They were so good! I also got a side of fruit and it had a good variety of different fruits. This was a perfect breakfast choice for a cool sunny day in San Rafael. I don't visit this area often but when I do I make sure to stop by Miracle Mile Cafe!!! read more

I've now been to this restaurant twice, both times for breakfast/brunch. You have the choice of eating inside or outside. The first time we sat inside and it was very pleasant. But today, the weather was nice so we tried the outside tables. Because of the constant traffic on Fourth Street in San Rafael, we were literally shouting to eachother to be heard. So before the food was served, we moved to another outside table along the side of the restaurant. Noise levels were much better, but we were now without an umbrella or shade. Next time, maybe we'll go back to inside. Service is amazingly fast, friendly, and attentive. And my food was excellent. I usually look for food items that I either can't or won't make at home. The first visit I ordered French Toast, and today their "Famous Cinnamon Roll Pancakes" (the tall stack with three pancakes). I also ordered an egg on the side. Both meals were excellent, with the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes absolutely deserving their fame. Crunchy, super sweet and cinnamony. They served maple syrup on the side, but due to the glaze on the pancakes, it wasn't needed at all. My friend ordered a scramble the first time (unsure if it was custom ordered or off the menu) and an omelette today, beautifully made. Funny, I've lived in the adjacent San Anselmo for 40 years, and clearly this restaurant has been around for decades, but I've only just discovered it. Other than the traffic noise, this might now be my favorite local place for breakfast! read more

I'm taking one star away only because of the way they looked at my service dog. They asked if he was a service dog and he had his service dog harness on. When I said yes, he is a service dog, they didn't look happy. I understand, but I need my dog with me. The food was fantastic! I loved my pancakes and my guy loved his omelette. The prices are fantastic too! If I could've sat outside, I would have but the weather wasn't perfect on the day that I went. I would come back again, but I would make sure to keep my dog outside. read more

Here what you should know about Miracle Mile Café: I would describe this place as a local treasure where the food and service are very good. It's a great place to meet up over breakfast or lunch. 1) It is right off Fourth Street in San Rafael. If you are sitting outside, it can get noisy. Traffic can get congested at times, so be prepared. 2) The parking lot is small, however street parking is available. 3) Very dog friendly. I brought my pooch on a rainy day. There is a covered area where I set up a dog bed and it was dry, even on a cold, rainy day. Doggy enjoyed looking out at the traffic congestion and took it all in. 4) The food. I ordered a full stack of cinnamon roll pancakes, a side of two scrambled eggs and coffee. The pancakes weren't overly sweet and you get actual, real maple syrup here and not some high fructose corn syrup concoction. 5) When one considers the quality of the food, the fact that my food arrived hot and fresh, and my waiter was personable, I felt my meal was worth it and was willing to spend a bit more for it. When I next come in, I will try the Master Combo that is only available Monday thru Friday. One pancake (any flavor), two bacon or two link sausage and two eggs for $20.95. read more

Okay so the food was delicious, but we were really blown away by how attentive and on top of everything the entire staff was! Even though it was a busy Saturday brunch, we were seated immediately and everything went so weirdly smoothly that I felt compelled to write this review (it's not often that a restaurant experience is so good that you actually notice the lack of anything negative!) You can tell there is a lot of love and care put into this place, and it's a super cute brunch spot. Colorful umbrellas and quirky home decor, great service, and yummy food :) read more

My wife and I were visiting from out of town and wanted to try this place with my in laws so we made the 40 minute drive to check it out. This place is in a nice location with both indoor and outdoor dining. We were immediately greeted by our server who had an awesome attitude and really set the tone for our experience! She was super awesome and was giving off some awesome vibes! Each of us ordered something different and we shared the cinnamon roll pancakes which were awesome! We all seemed to enjoy our food and my wife really liked the tofu breakfast wrap! On our table was a small container of house made salsa which was also good. This place has a great team of hard workers! I appreciate that the owner was present and asked everyone (including us) how their meal/experience was! read more

Miracle Mile is damn good. It's a restaurant that deserves to be at a beach front resort with hundreds of people in line for their famous cinnamon roll pancakes. Lucky for me, it's in an unassuming location tucked away in San Rafael. The pancakes aren't the only good thing, everything tastes amazing here. I've ordered to go quite a number of times, sometimes for large groups and they DO NOT disappoint. They come through for take out orders just like they do in person. Staff is super friendly, super accommodating, and they make you feel welcomed. I've eaten at the resto once, cute spot with a backdrop and mural for photo ops. I also liked the mimosa flight, yum! I hope this place continues to thrive, and grows outside of Marin. Food and service is top notch! read more

We were heading for another restaurant in this area and pulled into Miracle Mile by mistake. Turned out to be a good one. Seems to be a Peruvian family-run cafe. It is clean. The tables are in front of the kitchen and the server area. There is a sense of motion as the servers keep moving around and the kitchen is calling out orders up and customers are part of the mix. Not bad...just a lot of action going on. Open 7am - 2pm so is a breakfast and lunch/brunch place. The serve alcohol, so seems odd to me, as cocktails are generally an evening option. The menu is amazing. It is an American - Peruvian mix of items. Traditional egg dishes, omelets, and little surprises, like Peruvian flax seed waffles and pancakes! There are huevos rancheros, Peruvian pulled pork plate, chilaquiles and burritos. Salads and soups, house specials, a kid's menu, burgers, smoothies, and made-to-order coffees. Quite a menu journey. Servers come across as really caring for the customers. Like in a family restaurant, huh? Our mistake became a pleasant adventure. Good for them. I wish them much success. Parking in a front lot. read more

Everything was extraordinary with this charming family owned restaurant!! We loved, loved our breakfast, it was served very quickly, coffee and water were refilled without waiting and everyone that we came in contact was super nice! My husband and I both had eggs Benedict's and they were very tasty and the hollandaise sauce was perfect, not overly lemony like some places. If we lived closer we would definitely become regulars very fast! read more

One of the best brunches I've had in a long time! Everything was spot on from the friendly service to the comfortable patio seating to the delicious food. I'm a bit tired of all the trendy Asian fusion brunch places, so Miracle Mile Cafe was a breath of fresh air with their menu offering the classics as well as Peruvian and Mexican dishes. Their cinnamon roll pancakes are magical! They're fluffy yet crispy on the edges and somehow made to be swirled with crevices filled with cinnamon - a must get treat! Perhaps the best pancakes I've ever had. The corned beef Benedict hit the spot, and I loved that the grilled bell pepper and onion bits made the dish feel not too heavy. Their housemade salsa had a fragrant roasted flavor and paired well with the side of home fries. The Green Mile smoothie with mango, kale, banana, and coconut water was perfect for me. The steak in the Peruvian steak sandwich was a tad dry but still fine when eaten all together in the sandwich with the tomatoes and sauce. My boyfriend enjoyed his mocha made with Ghirardelli chocolate. I definitely recommend this spot! read more

What an absolute delight! We stopped by for breakfast on a Monday morning, and it wasn't very busy. All the staff were friendly and seemed like they actually enjoyed being there to serve customers. My coffee was refilled at the right times, and they even filled up our reusable water bottles for our hike afterward with a smile. My partner got the breakfast special, flank steak with chilaquiles, and it looked amazing! I opted for the avocado toast. It was so flavorful with the oil, micro greens, and real bacon bits. There were four pieces of toast and the two in the middle had the perfect soft boiled eggs on top. The fresh fruit side was delicious! The blueberries, melon, and cantaloupe actually tasted sweet and flavorful! It made me sad that the fruit I get from the store doesn't taste this good. The little ones got a bowl of oatmeal and a side of sausage to share. We ended up eating some of their oatmeal and it was yummy! Just the right level of creaminess. I loved the bright green interior and cheeky decorations. Overall, one of our favorite new finds. We'll be back for sure! read more

Food: excellent corned beef hash platter, and they don't skimp out on the bread and butter. Oh wow that buttered toast was so delicious I ate it straight and didn't even eat it topped with hash and dripping egg yolk. Also had a Peruvian brunch plate (forgot name) that was so flavorful! The carafe of mimosa is wonderfully priced and tastes good. I want to try the Benedict and their pancakes next. Alas when I tried going a third time it was too late in the day. Ambiance: they did a lot to turn this into a super scenic outdoor space despite the busy road. It felt very cozy, with choice of different seating types in different parts outdoors plus indoor. It was really nice to sit outside under the shade of the stupendously large umbrellas and green hedges to chat or rest. Service: I felt the service matched what I enjoyed, and almost felt European in that they were attentive but gave you space. It felt comfortable, although I did feel shy because I was worried I was bothering them during the busy periods. read more

This was a go to restaurant for at least 5 plus years but recently the lady that runs the place was very off putting to me and she should know better how to treat customers. Her Male counterpart manager treated me like I was taking up space and rushed me out !! Not cool , I won't be going back because there are many more nice breakfast places in Marin read more

Here's a hot tip for ya': The best breakfast/brunch in Marin County can be had at the Miracle Mile Cafe. It had long been on my radar but since I almost never go out for breakfast two things happened to spur me into going here. First, a friend was over, expounding on how he loves the breakfasts here. This spurred a "what's your favorite meal?" conversation amongst three of us and I learned that the person I've lived with for more than half my life has a favorite meal and it is breakfast. Mine is dinner but I used my newfound knowledge to arrange a celebratory birthday breakfast for the one who loves it. Four of us sat outside at a roomy picnic bench and studied the menu which is truly so chock-a-block with good sounding offerings that deciding on just one proved difficult. The choices finally settled upon at our table included Chilaquiles, Corned Beef Hash, an omelet with pulled pork, and another Peruvian pork offering. The menu features many Peruvian-inspired offerings but also pretty much everything delicious that one could dream up. Because we were celebrating a birthday, we also got a surprise: a a big, delicious, candle-topped pancake, on the house. Miracle Mile Cafe sits on a very busy street with cars whizzing past while you dine al fresco (there's indoor seating as well). Still, even the sound of cars whizzing past could do nothing to take away the joy that such satisfying fare brought. I may not go out for breakfast often but I do know good food when I stumble upon it. Everything here is delicious. read more

Miracle Mile Cafe - Chilaquiles... delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Rafael, California

On our way to San Jose we decided to stop here for breakfast as we were passing through, and take a chance. Miracle Mile Cafe is an absolute gem! The chicken fried chicken was phenomenal... crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The chilaquiles tasted like they came straight from a kitchen in Mexico, bursting with authentic flavor. The NY steak and eggs were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the biscuits and gravy were next-level, fluffy, rich, and absolutely delicious. Even though the place was packed, with at least 30 people waiting outside for a table, the staff managed everything smoothly and kept the vibe welcoming and efficient. It's no surprise this spot is so popular. Totally worth the wait, we'll definitely be back! read more

Incredible service! The staff is attentive, fast AND friendly. I came here while waiting for my mom's knee replacement procedure to be completed - it felt like eating the best comfort breakfast ever.

Mayan omlette was fabulous. Service A+. Wonderful breakfast experience! If you are in San Rafael early... go to this spot!

Made reservations only had to wait a couple minutes to get the table clean, service was okay being it was really busy at the time we went and as soon and people got up there was already people waiting outside to get in. Food was great and drinks were good. Only thing I think it needed to be 5 stars would probably be to go check in on the tables being served but strong 4.5 for sure. Overall great place read more

Miracle Mile Cafe - "Burger Obsession" - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Rafael, California

Place is dog-friendly and have both indoor and outdoor dining which is why we came here. Parking lot is hella small and tough to get out of since it's the same as the entrance, on a highly trafficked street. Street parking is available but hard to find too. I ended up having to park a block away which was still close. Parking is one of the reasons I knocked a star. It's just not the most convenient esp if you're coming in a big group. Service was a bit slow but the waitress did say she just put in tickets for a big group and she was going to try to get ours out first. But what was irritating about service was that we had to ask for silverware and water multiple times before we got it. The menu is extensive and they offer mimosa carafes with different flavors! I forgot to take pics but the blue one is hella pretty! I ordered their special of the day which was a potato pancake with smoked salmon and micro greens. Their homemade hot sauce was spicy but definitely elevated the dish. Loved the potato pancake as it was crispy and a better base than an English muffin like in eggs benedict. If I went back, I would have asked for some eggs with it. Their homemade jam was also hella good! Try it out but be mindful of parking. Hope yall enjoy! read more

Always consistent, fresh & healthy and staff is friendly! I stop there for take out often.

The Cafe is a favorite among locals and a great place for large or small groups. I love the variety of choices and they always have a selection of specials. I opt for the omelette which are always generous and delicious but what we crave is the cinnamon roll pancakes. They are indescribable and craveable! Go get you some!! read more

My parents have been here before and told me about this place which they happened to find on a walk. Thus, voila! My first visit and I'm so glad I finally got to check it out. I believe they are not open for dinner so I came in the morning. I ordered their pulled pork breakfast plate. Funny enough, the pulled pork was served on one (burger?) bun. I love that they added cilantro and onions. It really added to the variety of flavors you experience here. The sharp onions, the sensual -with a gentle touch of sweet- pork, the "tropical/herbaceous" cilantro, the slightly salty potatoes, and of course your classic eggs, which you can have in any style you wish! Also had coffee to complete the "set" haha. When I came, it seemed most of the customers preferred outdoors, despite the seating being near the street. The staff are also nice and sharp-eyed, asking you from time to time if you need hot sauce or more coffee. This is nice! read more

We waited a long time to try out here. It seemed always full and busy outside during the nice weather so we waited for a cool late morning to stop in. It was packed and very noisy. This was sewing, partly to the acoustics and partly to the people who were there I suppose. It was also quite cold inside. There were two split air air heater units on the walls, but neither of them were turned on. Everybody had their jacket on. The food was OK. Will try it again another time before giving it a more thorough review focusing on the food in the service. read more

You can smell the owners perfume from 10 ft away. When he comes to the table it gets in your mouth and ruins the meal. Half of the staff is over perfumed as well. How do you not know people are trying to enjoy a meal? The food is good if you get lucky and get a clean staff member. read more
