    Joaquim's meal  Croque Monsieur Croissant Toast and Creamy Tomato Soup
    Paweena L.

    Definitely the food is alway good here. Not just only that the staffs here are so nice, really helpful and friendly. I feel cozy here with booth and tables. I used to receive wrong order when my son ordered bacon Mac and cheese but when we arrived home, no bacon in his. When I drove back to correct it, the maneger was so nice and apologized us then she made it right. I was happy for that. Things could happen I know. Again today, Vicky helped us and she also really nice to all of her client. She helped us to get you a good deal. It's a lot easier to placed an order with Vicky than using the self ordering. Thank you so much.

    It's Panera Bread. The last time I had this was when I was in southern California. I had their U-Pick-Two (in this case, half sandwich and half soup). Their Hearty Fireside Chili is that: hearty and full of fire haha. Not spicy enough to burn you, but spicy enough to give you a pick-me-up. I had their cranberry chicken salad sandwich, which was honestly so good (in my opinion) I gobbled it up rather quickly. The order was completed a lot quicker than I thought, but then again there weren't many customers at the time (5:30-6 pm). Panera Bread is one of the chain places I am good with. Great!

    This location has a different flare from other Panera locations I have been. I liked the fact it is kid friendly providing kid's books. So my grandkids loved their Mac and cheese while I enjoyed my chicken salad sandwich. Busy place and loved that open dining area which had a spread out seatings from tables / chairs to benched seating.

    I've been here a handful of times, and every time I come there seems to be a new person at the register. Maybe it's the time of day or different weekend stuff. Lol everyone always seems nice and friendly and I love the spacious seating inside as well as a really decorative modern outside patio area with lights. The food has always been tasty and I love when I ask for extra spinach on my breakfast sandwich, I actually get it!! See pictures below. Hee

    Cheddar Broccoli Soup and Mediterranean Grains Salad
    Diara N.

    The mango smoothie was a nice consistency and wasn't sweet. It wasn't fully mixed since it still had some ice chunks but not a huge deal. The salad had more feta cheese than my personal likings, but it was good and fresh. The broccoli cheddar soup always hits. The employees were diligent and service was pretty speedy considering the rush. Personally, I would return.

    A great snack place, the bread is great, that's what I get. I like the soup, it's a big lunch place. The Greek salad is also good. -Rob M.

    Don't bother going to this location, the food was terrible and the staff not very pleasant. The Northgate location is much more enjoyable.

    My family had lunch today at Blue Barn. This is such a great place! We have been a bunch of of…read moretimes to their Corte Madera location, but I love the seating area here both inside and on their huge back patio. This is a counter service place and the line can sometimes can take a lot during busy days. They have a lot of great options here for food and a good size kids menu! My wife and I opted for salads on this visit. The cost feels a bit high, but the salads are huge and feel well worth the cost. I had the Thai Chicken salad. I love the dressing on the salad and the crunch from the peanuts and crispy wontons is so good! The chili lime chicken has a nice tangy flavor and the veggies all give a nice, herby flavor. My wife had the Tostada salad, which has a delicious, smoky and sweet flavored dressing. My daughter had their chicken tenders and fries, which she enjoyed. This is a great place for larger groups, and its location on Grant Ave is brings a lot of excitement to this downtown Novato neighborhood.

    Blue Barn is a must visit in downtown Novato for salads and sandwiches! I stopped in on a Tuesday…read moreafternoon and they were packed! I ordered their tomato soup with a slice of focaccia and my friend ordered the winter salad with brussel sprouts, butternut squash, broccoli, kale, pomegranates pinenuts, quinoa, parmesan, meyer lemon-balsamic dressing and seasonal mixed greens. The salad was huge and looked delicious! I will be coming back to try that! My soup was very flavorful and full of croutons & scallions. The food came out very quickly for them being so busy. They have a cute indoor seating area as well as patio seating, which would be perfect for the warmer weather months.  The staff was very friendly and helpful when placing my order. I would recommend this place when in the area!

    This quickly became my favorite place in town once I discovered it. It's hard to find fresh,…read morehealthy food in Novato (especially in South Novato) and this checks all the boxes. Great options for vegetarians and carnivores alike! The Acai bowls are yummy (some of the better ones in Marin) but I personally love their Bay Bowl (pictured here) because it's the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I order it almost once a week. I was also hooked on their smoothies while I was pregnant! The staff is super friendly and the food is ready quickly. They also offer curbside pickup through the app!! It's a great spot to hang outside when the weather is nice. We bring many friends and visitors here, and they are always impressed. Truly something for everyone on the menu. They offer local deals a few times a month through their newsletter or text!

Their salads and food are so fresh, are made with quality ingredients, and are served in large portions as well! The Eastern Trade Winds salad is my absolute favorite - the dates in this salad add the perfect amount of sweetness! Staff is always kind and attentive. Definitely recommend trying their salads and soft serve! Only downside is that it's kind of pricey (average salad is about $20 and shake is $13ish), but worth it once or twice a week!
