I was here a few months ago and saw a coffee table book that stayed in my mind because I wanted to…read moregift it to someone. I forgot the name and came back in today hoping someone might know what I was talking about. Both of the women at the counter were incredibly helpful and genuinely tried to help me figure it out. Not just polite, but truly engaged and caring. Honestly, it's hard to find service like that these days, especially in Marin, and they really went above and beyond. The coffee is amazing, the vibe is wonderful, and the people made such a difference today. Thank you so much for your kindness and help. It genuinely meant a lot and made me want to keep coming back.

I almost don't want to write this review because this is the kind of place you selfishly want to…read moregatekeep. I found myself here after yet another underwhelming stop at Cafe Verde -- which people recommend to me constantly. And every time I go, I leave confused. It's rarely full. The pricing is steep. And the attitude sometimes feels like, "There will always be another customer." So I walked a few minutes down the street and ended up at Endless Coffee. Different universe. I've had their coffee. I've had their specialty drinks. I've had their matcha multiple times now -- and it's $6. Six. In Corte Madera. Meanwhile, the $10 matcha down the street isn't even in the same league in terms of quality or balance. That price-to-quality ratio alone should have a line out the door. The space is small -- about five tables inside, four outside -- but it works. There are always a few parking spots nearby. It feels local in a real way, not a curated way. I see familiar baristas when I go in, but I also notice new team members. It feels like a business that's growing, adjusting, trying to get better. They have a rewards program. They're clearly refining their systems. And most importantly, the service never feels complacent. No one acts like they're doing you a favor by taking your order. You're acknowledged. You're treated like your business matters. That difference is subtle -- but it's everything. I genuinely do not understand how this place isn't consistently packed while others with higher prices and less warmth are. If you care about quality, value, and being treated like an actual guest, this is the spot in Corte Madera. Skip the hype. Walk a few extra steps. Order the matcha.

Silly me trying to enter through the doors facing the parking lot. That's how the people inside…read morecould probably have known I was new in the area. I arrived early and had some time to kill before going to the office. I had a gift card I've been meaning to use and decided to order an Iced Mint Mojito with a toasted Almond Croissant. The girl who help me was very kind and pleasant to speak with. The ambiance at this location has nice mood lighting when its still sort of dark outside. Areas for sitting, it felt very neighborhoody where it looked like several people would go there to meet up with friends to chat. I wonder if there could be even more seating inside if they tried to fit a few more smaller tables, or areas to sit, they probably could.

He responded with such attitude about doing it on the screen versus simply asking for the code. He kept pushing for me to follow the screen directions to put my phone number. Karma always comes through because of course, I followed his direction and it didn't work, so he ultimately still needed my code. All those steps only to do what I asked from the beginning. His tone was rude and his attitude was unnecessary. We both wasted time. I hope your cashiers get more training on how to speak and treat customers. I gave 2 stars because their coffee and food is good.

Equator Coffees in Larkspur is located in such an adorable downtown area. There's a Boichik Bagels,…read moreice cream spot, park across the street, and Perry's/other eateries next door. It's the perfect spot sandwiched in between all of the above for truly any time of day. Arriving mid-morning, we wanted to try something unique and different from their seasonal menu. Continuing on my search for trending happiness in a cup, we ordered the Banana Cream (cold brew topped with banana cold foam). Banana is having a moment, and we're here for it! It's so refreshing and delicious. I love banana, so this was right up my alley! Looks like other banana flavored drinks offered are the Banana Matcha Cloud and the Iced Caramelized Banana Latte. Def recommend if banana is in your top five rotation of the summer too. We also grabbed a pack of their seasonal beans for home, the Super Bloom blend ~ a light roast for the spring season! To note, there is a super cool kickback of proceeds of this blend. Find more about it in-store or on their website. Overall, this would be my go-to spot if I was in the area more. Friendly and quick service, and a fun menu also filled with tasty treats for brekky, snack, lunch, the in-between, to-go, and more.

This policy has been confirmed to me by JP, their CEO, who did have the courtesy of responding to me. Thanks JP!

Now, I don't know what's going on with Peet's Coffee in Nevada, but let's just say the vibe shift is... dramatic. Like "day and night" dramatic. Maybe that's why some Nevada locations are disappearing--because the in‑store experience just isn't hitting the way it should. But let's get back to the star of the show. Peet's Coffee at 77 Casa Buena Dr, Corte Madera is everything a coffee stop should be. Positive energy, great vibes, and consistently amazing drinks. This spot is my go‑to every time I'm in Marin, and honestly, it might be one of the best hangout spots in the entire county. The staff? Friendly every single time. The coffee? Always on point. The atmosphere? Chef's kiss. It's perfectly tucked near shopping, dining, and outdoor spots, making it ideal for people‑watching or just soaking in the Marin charm. The outdoor seating is a total win--grab a book, catch up with friends, or just lean back and admire Mt. Tamalpais doing its majestic thing. And if the universe is feeling generous, you might even spot quarterback Jared Goff grabbing his caffeine fix. Bonus perk: the Corte Madera Library is right across the street. So if you're in the mood to read a newspaper, research something old‑school style, or just wander through a quiet space, it's literally steps away. Bottom line: awesome coffee, great pastries, and consistently good service. This location gets it right every time. If all Peet's were like this one, they'd be opening stores--not closing them.

If you are in Nordstrom or the mall and want caffeine, Ebar is a good choice.

But be warned, the coffee they use is not the cardboard, milquetoast stuff you get at the chains. This is the best bean you can find, and wow! It carries a wallop of flavor and strength!
