    Cute Italian cafe near the ferry terminal. It was the perfect way to end our day trip to Tiburon as…read morewe waited for our ferry back to SF. The view from the cafe and their outdoor patio is beautiful. We ordered a peach scone, an oat milk latte, and a chamomile tea. It was nice to see that the chamomile tea came with a teapot and made about 3 1/2 cups of tea. The latte was served in a nice glass and paired really nicely with the peach scone, which also wasn't too sweet. I loved the interior seating and lighting; it's nice that they seem to have musical events going on, too. The service is friendly, albeit a little slow when it gets busy, which is to be expected. It's also nice that they are open a little later than other nearby coffee shops and bakeries, too.

This spot seems especially popular with day travelers and bikers looking for a relaxing stop along the waterfront. - Cappuccino Chip & Mint Ice Cream -- both flavors were rich and satisfying without being overly sweet; a refreshing treat after walking around Tiburon They offer both indoor and outdoor seating with cozy vibes and pleasant bay views. Service was friendly, and the area definitely seems to get busier on weekends. A nice casual stop for coffee, ice cream, or just relaxing by the water.

In what world does a waiter argue with a customer. In what world does a man think it's appropriate to yell at a woman who is just telling them her food is too soggy to eat. Fire that man. I'm a local and I will be talking shit to all my people about how much this place sucks. I wouldn't have had such a strong feeling if the waiter wasn't such a piece of shit towards my mom. I've been trained in French cooking and I am telling you what I was served was not a croque madame. Read a French cookbook it's not hard. Also if I'm going to be so honest, the egg was over cooked and yall were so cheap with the crab on the Benedict. Now I know why the restaurant was empty. How It's Made Prep: Brush bread with Dijon mustard and layer with ham and Gruyère.Toast: Fry the sandwich in butter until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.Bake/Broil: Top the sandwich with a layer of Béchamel and more cheese. Broil in the oven until bubbling and browned.Finish: While the sandwich is broiling, fry an egg sunny-side up. Top the hot sandwich with the egg and serve immediately.

Right when I came in I just knew it was good and I got to ordering Parking is pretty open and convenient so it was easy to walk right over. I ordered on the kiosk which makes it easier and gives me more time to look at items. I kept it simple and got a strawberry lemonade which was very good and also in cute packaging.

I opted for the vibrant red rose. It tasted exactly like a flavorless sponge drenched in l milk. Not even a hint of rose. Incredible, the white icing was equally flavorless, although it looked beautiful, with a sprinkling of dried rose petals. The overall effect was like eating a piece of cake that had fallen in a puddle of milk - with dried leaves in the icing. I had three bites and then told them guy behind the counter that it had no flavor and all he could offer was "I'm sorry". For $8 and no offer to make it right, it was a really bad experience and I would never go there again.

    Visiting family nearby, Mom & I stopped in this bakery for a late breakfast this week…read more We were delighted to see so many choices on the menu - from soups, salads, and sandwiches to breakfast items and treat. And of course the best coffee drinks that come to mind. Mom decided on a piece of quiche and poppy seed lemon cake while I chose the breakfast burrito and the peanut butter and chocolate bar. We both found our choices to be uniquely delicious and filling. And it turned out my brother had purchased earlier in the week the specialty desserts as surprise treats for us to enjoy later. The coffee was strong, the food tasty, and the cafe atmosphere neighborhood friendly, so all in all a good experience for both locals and visitors alike.

    I came in and ordered a quiche, blueberry muffin, and matcha latte. I was given a cold packaged…read morequiche from the fridge, a cranberry scone, and what tastes like just green tea from a bag. When I went back after leaving, they swapped the scone for the muffin but was surprised to watch them put the scone right back on display after I left and came back with it (seems like a questionable food hygiene choice). They did microwave the quiche for me... surprised they didn't have some for of oven. Honestly, none of it was good and after picking at it I threw most of the $22 order in the trash. An expensive waste of money. Additionally, they were calling someone a "puta" (a vulgar insult for a b*** or wh***) directly in front of me. Like just because I'm not Latino doesn't mean I can't speak Spanish. Very poor customer experience with immature / unprofessional staff. The ambience is similar to any other cafe.

My boyfriend's eggs were runny despite having asked for them to be scrambled hard. My niece didn't like her pancakes, and the group generally felt the food was bland. The service was also spotty. After remaking my boyfriend's eggs they forgot his toast. Then when the toast came they forgot the jam. The waitress didn't ask about drink refills, though she did refill my coffee. The ambiance was fine, but not the special holiday brunch spot we had imagined. Next time we'll find a different Larkspur restaurant.

The place is clean, with plenty of seating both inside and outside, and there is a large selection of pastries, scones, breads, and grab-and-go items. My go-to has been the ham and cheese croissant, which was fresh both mornings. The coffee was also nice and hot, which I always appreciate. The staff is professional and efficient, though clearly busy, so do not expect a lot of chit-chat. I also picked up a box of Cheese Coins, which turned out to be dangerous because I loved them and ate the whole box. Good coffee, fresh pastries, easy seating, and enough tempting extras to make you buy more than you planned. I will probably stop by again tomorrow morning before leaving the area.

It could have used a lot more filling. I did appreciate the salsa on the side that it came with, which was tomato-y, garlicky, and overall very flavorful. It took around half an hour for me and 4 of my friends to get our orders, which was frustrating because we were on the go. Definitely a very busy spot! The place is a grab-and-go establishment where you order at the cashier and grab your food once ready (or they'll bring it out to you if dining in). I loved the outdoor seating on a sunny day but all the tables were unfortunately taken when we were there. The inside also has a couple of seats and refreshing cucumber water was offered.
