50 Best Cafes near Larkspur

“A small and cozy place to have breakfast or brunch. The food is filling, but light. The biscuits in the biscuits and gravy were light and not dense. The mushroom soup was delicious. The French toast was nice and custard like in the center. Love the coffee with refills. The service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back for more.“

“After an afternoon of hiking in Marin, my youngest daughter was enraged, so I decided to calm her down with coffee and pastries. It worked.We stumbled onto Emporio Rulli and I really wanted to love this place but something felt off. The food was very good and the service was stellar but the store was so empty that it felt strange to be virtually the only people there. Eventually, a few others stopped in but with the amount of pastries and cakes prepared, it appeared they were all ready for business and the customers didn’t come in that day.I look forward to coming back sometime soon as places like this really need local support. Don’t you agree?Michael DelehantyCompass Real Estate“

“I recently stopped by Rustic Bakery for lunch and was blown away by the delicious flavors! The Ciracha Chicken Sandwich was a highlight - the chicken was tender and juicy, with a perfect balance of spicy and tangy from the Ciracha sauce. Paired with the refreshing Arnold Palmer drink, it made for a satisfying and filling meal. The bakery itself has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with friendly staff and a wide variety of tasty treats on display. I was impressed by the quality of the ingredients and the care that went into crafting each sandwich. If you're in the area, Rustic Bakery is a must-visit for a delicious and satisfying meal. Five stars and I'll definitely be back!“

“Between my wife and me we ate four of the turkey baguettes and a mocha. The sandwiches were tasty and a cut above deli fare but certainly didn't justify a $10 price for each sandwich. A quaint place but don't bring your appetite.“

“Hands down THE best croissant in San Francisco. But they have so much more than that. Pates, quiches, desserts - and they all look so Parisian. Walking in is an exercise in self control. But the good news is, if you do cave in, it’s worth it!“

“Quick meal the day before with little “brioche” stuffed with cheese and ham, experience repeated the next morning for breakfast. Coffees with its top almond milk variant, it's a change from the usual American coffees. Delicious coconut pastry. “Acai” bowl very good but I would have appreciated it being noted that it was a “smoothie sorbet”, not translated into English. Not ideal for the morning. The fruit salads served to the neighbor were tempting.Brazilian cuisine to try. Refined and tastefully decorated.“

“It’s not the best coffee in North Beach, but it’s hands down the best atmosphere for chilling or working. Iced coffee could be larger for the price tbh. The matcha isn’t good but their black drip coffee gets me buzzing.Also I wish they stayed open till 5 so I could finish out my day here!“

“Il Canto Cafe is pretty awesome. Hella convenient for me because my office is upstairs. Back in the day, this used to be a Tully's coffee. To the right of it used to be a pretty busy Chinese restaurant. All that is gone now. This morning I got really hungry and weren't quite ready for lunch yet. The guy said good morning to me when I went out for a cigarette, so I decided to try their breakfast croissant (cheese egg sausage) $7. It was tasty! It hit the spot and I was ready for work again. Take-out service was excellent.“

“I live in Sausalito incase anyone thinks I’m a regular and I’m trying to plug a friend’s place or whatever. This is the best breakfast in Marin. Food is so fresh and the staff are exceptional. I work in the service industry and don’t usually leave reviews. Really evident team culture and refreshing attitudes all round. Well done to all!“

“Super cute spot with great boba and friendly staff. I’ve had the brown sugar milk tea and the mango sticky rice inspired drink which is amazing and so unique and fun! Easy to order on the kiosk and quick service.Dietary restrictions: They don’t use powdered mixes so you can get the drinks dairy free with alternative milks“

“A must-see place in San Francisco. It is known for being the home of Irish coffee (being the place where it was first served) and which I recommend trying with reservations about being a very strong alcoholic drink. The burgers, salads and grilled chicken are also highly recommended.“

“Came for a Too Good to Go. Paid 7$ for a full box that can make 2 meals honestly. It’s not with the 21$ expected for sure, but it’s still a very good deal, especially in this district !Everything was really goodHot when I went to pick it up“

“If you need a locksmith, I strongly suggest this locksmith and crew. They are incredibly prompt and professional. I phoned, and he arrived the same day, which was exceptional. He performed an excellent job at our property. In addition to replacing a lock and producing replacement keys, Team provided me with valuable information and suggestions regarding my type of lock.“

“We highly recommended Dandelion Chocolate! Their chocolate is smooth, rich with flavors yet not overpowering to the pallet, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Come from a chocolatier and chocolate connoisseur, I'd say this is some of the best chocolate we've tried.“

“If you find yourself looking for a breakfast/brunch spot, come here! My dad has been coming here for awhile and I was in town visiting him so we we went to grab some brunch. Located just a little ways from fisherman's wharf it's a quick walk to get here. Ambiance and service: We were greeted by David the owner and his son Darren and chose to sit inside. They've got some seating inside and some outside for when the weather is nice. Everything is nice and clean and you can see into the kitchen so you know the food is made fresh to order. Our order was taken quickly and food came out quickly! Food: Their menu ranges from classic American breakfast, Chinese and Vietnamese food, and sandwiches. I ordered pho and a Vietnamese coffee and my dad ordered french toast with eggs and bacon. I've had a lot of pho in different parts of the US so I'm picky about my pho and this is hands down one of the most flavorful pho broths I've ever had. Good size portion with all the regular pho fixings. My dad always orders one of two things: french toast or chicken fried steak and according to him, both are delicious but I had the pleasure of of trying the french toast this time. It was cooked to perfection and not overdone in the batter or flavors. Overall, I'm glad I got to eat here. From the service, to the food, I enjoyed every bit of it. I can't wait to bring friends here and enjoy more meals with my dad!“

“Been vacationing in the Marina area for years now, and just barely discovered this place. Was here for a girl’s weekend and a friend found this place on Yelp. We came after lunch at about 1pm and it was quiet. Most had their laptops and were doing work. My friend and I were at the bar jibber jabbering.Steven was the bartender and not only was he a great mixologist, but he had really good recommendations. This is one of those kinds of places where you want to try their specialty drinks. Don’t do your usual stuff. I am picky and only like drinks served up so Steven asked me a few questions before making a recommendation. We had three drinks each, a cookie and beef jerky before leaving.Parking is easy and there’s plenty. Park, use the machine and grab your receipt. FYI, parking machine says to add your cell so they can forewarn you 15 minutes before your time ends; that DOES NOT WORK. Make sure you keep an eye on the time which we did.Awesome new spot (for me) and will be back!“

“It was a pleasant surprise when I found this place in Chinatown. Super cute interior and superb food! It’s a perfect place for Sunday brunch. And it was not even crowded on Sunday. The circular French toast was one of the best I’ve tasted. Will definitely come back.“

“Really cozy local café with great sandwiches, coffee, and pastries. It’s everything you could want for breakfast or lunch. Everything is made to order and sometimes there’s only one person there so it can take a bit of time but it’s totally worth it. This is the chicken club panini which is my fave.“

“Well besides the fact that you can drink in this museum… ya just can’t ask for “cheese & crackers” just anywhere and actually get a wedge from the wheel of cheese and get this.. actual real life crackers! Not those BS square ones in the packet. That’s not even real cheese in those!“

“We went when it opened and were seated a couple minutes after the finished setting up. Servers were friendly and on top of making sure you are enjoying your meal. We ordered the banana soufflé pancakes with scrambled eggs on the side, and the lemon cottage cheese pancakes. The food was delicious first time for both of us and the banana soufflé pancakes were above my expectations. At first we didn’t know what to expect with the lemon cottage cheese pancakes when we ordered them, but when we tried them we instantly loved them. Over all i would definitely recommend if your in the area to try Mymy’s. Hoping to bring my family next time i visit.“

“Ordered the Shake your bahn bah sandwich which comes with a mixed salad, was well made and delicious. Bread was toasted beautifully!Also ordered the shrimp po-boy wrap, which also came with a mixed salad. Wrap was ok, should've substituted the wrap for bread as in the banh banh, would have been much tastier. The salad was great, really liked the house dressing.“

“Came here for a quick bite for my kid before camp and after the eclipse! What a hidden little gem!!! Not a place to come and sit and eat. It is a TO GO place but there is one little table with two chairs. The couple are so amazing, welcoming, and caring!!! The food is delish and ready to go in just seconds! My daughter got the half teriyaki chicken and we got two orders of gyoza. The total was $12!!!! Then because they are so sweet they gave me a small sample of their beef curry. It has a little to good kick depending on your threshold for spice but the flavor is really good and the beef is super tender!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stop by!!!“

“This spot is AWESOME!!! Not only is the food delicious and great portions, but the staff is totally amazing!! Everyone that works here seem genuinely happy and enjoy what they are doing. We had so much fun and laughter. Can't wait to come back. Thanks for confirming the best decision of the day.“

“The place is quiet and nice. Has seating inside and outside. The owner Lily and her mother Annie are so sweet! The coffee is amazing and their pastries are fresh. The vegan loafs are so good. We got the banana nut loaf which was super moist.Very family oriented, kid and pet friendly The chocolate chip cookie my son got was also very soft and delicious.Thank you for your hospitality and service.Nice to meet you both ❤️“

“This place is the sweetest! The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. Their menu has the most interesting match-ups. Cocoa Bomb vs Avocado Sago turned out to be a classic! The Avocado Sago is truly fabulous!!!Their Signature Fruit Tea is tasty and refreshing.“

“We had a fantastic evening and meal here. We came during happy hour and given the quality and taste of the food and champagne, the prices were relatively reasonable. We started with a flight of three caviars paired with three champagnes. They ranged from delicious to amazing. We then moved on to our small plates entree where our favorite dishes were a savory caviar bread pudding (not dense nor heavy) and an order of caviar deviled eggs. Would highly recommend both! We would definitely go back!“

“They were out of cragels around 11am on a Sunday. We got the bagel sando with sausage, egg, and cheese, and a tuna salad sandwich, as well as an iced mocha. The sandwiches were tasty and filling, made fresh with quality ingredients, and a nice light crunch on that asiago bagel. And that iced mocha was one of the best I've had, sweet and creamy, I'm craving it now! The service was standard, and seating was limited both inside and outside the cafe, but we were able to find an outdoor table with seats, as people came and went fairly quickly, just as we did. I'd return to try the cragels.“

“If you want more than just a cappuccino or caffe latte at Starbucks, then come visit the 1st Italian coffeehouse west of the Rockies! Been coming here for 50 yrs and I been drinking their fresh brewed lattes or cafe au laits ever since. It's one of the best places to meet poets, writers, musicians,film makers & artists both famous or soon to be, in North Beach!“

“We were staying at a hotel nearby and we were so lucky to have found this cafe. They have great food, bottomless coffee, and amazing service. We ate here every morning, and we wished we could have stayed in the area longer.Highly recommend this place!“

“Fun, great food, European type of service, and a really fun atmosphere. Love the French Onion soup on a cold night. Only complaint, their baguette is quite expensive, though absolutely delicious and served with really great butter. Wine is priced in line with most restaurants in Marin, so not ordering a lot of wine during our visits.Would highly recommend Amélie.“

“This is a good lunch spot for FiDi. Sandwiches are $12.50-$14. Salads are $10-$11. Prices on their website are outdated. My sandwich , the LLB special $12.50 was roast beef, turkey, ham, swiss, provolone on dutch crunch, was alright. The New England Clam Chowder $8.50 was chunky and not filled all the way up. That tasted OK as well. Friendly service for a counter style restaurant. Kitchen was fast taking account they were busy. I was pretty full afterwards.“

“Was excited to finally visit this new cafe nestled in the historic charm of our weekend Jackson Square walk. We found their inviting interior an ideal setting for a relaxed coffee break and casual meal with our group. And speaking of coffee, their freshly brewed roasts, roasted on-site in a huge visible roaster, were beyomd perfect. And t's not just about the coffee as the menu featured a variety of homemade and fresh baked treats, from hot scones to sandwiches and salads, all prepared in their open kitchen. The smoothies, we were told have gained popularity and made waves on social media. We tried Maca Cloud and its imopressive with a long list of execpetional ingredinets. The charming floral displays at the entrance were a crowd pleaser and it was great to see a mix locals, tourits and even a huge group from SF Fire Dept enjoying the space. Give it a try; I suspect you won't be disappointed.“

“Cafe Isabella's delicious food (they serve my favorite San Francisco burrito), and overall appealing aesthetic design reflect the fine tastes of its owner, Hilda. And, I happily note that Cafe Isabella strictly adheres to COVID-19 mitigation best practices.“

“The location of this organic cafe cannot be matched!They have a wonderful outside garden & beautiful, sunlit seating areas inside next to large windows with gorgeous views.I live next door to this cafe, so I've tried most items on the menu. The one ingredient that is important to Latin Cuisine which I wish they would make available are fresh lemon slices as their food has salt, lots of spices but no lemon available - ever. Authentic cornmeal tacos and basic rice & beans as a menu staple 'side' option would also be a good addition to their menu as their menu focuses on Mexican food, minus some foundational necessities like lemon, corn tacos and several other ingredients.When I visit this cafe, I always have to bring lemon slices from home.They often run out of ingredients early in the morning - so if you want breakfast, better to get there a couple hours before 11am.Wonderful gem in the Presidio & prices are great compared to the over-priced, insane prices at the new 'El Parco' and 'Colibri' restaurants.“

“We walked on over to this cute little place and from the outside signage you would never assume food is sold here, at least we didn't. We had one chicken and one meatball sandwich and they were both delicious. My favorite from the two was the grilled chicken, so yummy. It was hot, crispy, juicy, and flavorful. Service was great and fast. We sat outside and had a nice view of Washington Square park and the Cathedral.“

“I started my morning near Fort Mason looking for breakfast and finding a coffee shop open early, only to see a VERY long line. I Googled around for nearby options and found this wonderful little café!Super small space, just one sweet lady seemingly in charge of the whole process, making every order fresh. Very affordable, a bit of a secret it seems given that it wasn't busy. Absolutely DELICOUSL breakfast sandwich, you can't beat a fresh made sandwich made with love like that.“

“Just got a half Caesar with chicken, the creamy pesto pasta salad and A bag of chips for $10.50. I had my almost 3yr old with me and they gave us extra treats for him and said "the kids our future" they seriously made my day can't wait to go back again soon because it was a great experience and delicious food!“

“This is one of those classic North Beach cafes that has tons of seating, good coffee and sweets. Like to come here and read. That's pretty bustling but I use headphones and it works for me. They have outdoor seeding as well in the parklet. And a little spill over space too. Staff are really nice. Just be prepared because you will have to pay with cash only here.“

“my friend and i went here for the last breakfast on our vacation and we seriously loved it! my friend even said "if i lived here i'd eat here all the time." the food was fresh and well made, and the spicy mayo was just a kiss of spice, not hot at all, and very creamy. their coffee was expertly made, as i'm sitting here writing this my friend just said "that was a really good coffee i'm still thinking about it" the server was also very sweet and friendly! the shop is a little hard to find because they don't have "enter the cafe" branding, so it's best to just go by the address. but it's a cute little corner cafe, well decorated and clean but very small so exercise caution if you're a larger group. if you're visiting sanfran i highly recommend this place esp if you need a quick breakfast or drink between excursions!“

“Big fan of the 10$ for a coffee and breakfast sandwich deal!! My partner and I come here pretty often for that! Only complaint is I really miss the old decorations in there. The remodel is just giving cheap. But service is great and food is great!!“

“Excellent sandwich and very friendly service. We were walking by and thought a sandwich sounded good. Clive was friendly, and made 2 amazing sandos for us! Also saw "pincic" menus available, great addition to downtown San Anselmo!“

“Had to drop a Pinnedhaggler Poppinhock off at Glare Attaway's Speedo testing center so his lead pressuretester Anaconda John can iron out some wrinkles in their new product line, before they flood the market up in Guerneville. I drove right past the Redwood Cafe on my way there and planned on eating there when I was finished, so here I am.The grilled ham and cheese sandwich was Spectacular! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Back in 2004, I was working at 333 Bush St. and this was our favorite salad lunch place. Now I'm on Battery St. and was happy to that this Cafe Venue location was still open. Too bad their Leidesdorff alley location is now closed. The salad chefs there were better and closer to me on Battery St. Today I had their breakfast burrito with sausage, + avocado & sour cream $1.50 = $10.95. O! such good memories! Tomorrow I'll come back for lunch and get my old favorites, the chop chop salad or the spinach one. Service was excellent was for a counter style restaurant.“

“Great little breakfast spot on your way to/from enjoying the nature in Marin county. The smoothies are yummy. For vegetarian options, the selection is somewhat limited (mostly pancakes and omelettes), and not much for vegan.Vegetarian options: For vegetarian options, the selection is somewhat limited (mostly pancakes and omelettes), and not much for vegan.Dietary restrictions: For vegetarian options, the selection is somewhat limited (mostly pancakes and omelettes), and not much for vegan.Parking: Parking lot surrounding the restaurantKid-friendliness: Tons of family sized tablesWheelchair accessibility: No issues — easy parking and entry“

“Best beer/wine happy hour in town with delicious pastries to boot! This is a sweet spot on the corner that's an easy meeting spot for locals and visitors alike. A great place to people watch right in North Beach, they have great deals on draft beers and house wine. Plus, you can get a little slice of cake to accompany it. I must admit that I prefer this spot as a treat after work over their bagels and coffee in the morning. That said, they're kind and quick and hard to pass up for a quick stop!“

“Got 2 açai bowls, they were tasty and cute; the service was quick and the café as well, but it is located in a place that’s not very interesting on its own, it’s just very close to a mall and walking for ~10 min you get to the ferry building and that’s nice, so it’s either way close to some interesting locations. We payed pretty much money, $30+ for two açaís and a water, I think that’s a little too much but ok. Thank youu byee“

“This is not a fancy Chinatown tourist trap. It's a humble Chinese diner with excellent food and good portions. Two people might share a rice plate with some side dumplings. I had the beef with mixed vegetables plate. Came with a small soup and a piping hot dumpling. Everything was super fresh and came straight from wok to table in seconds. Looks like old school family run place. For what one gets it's a bargain in this day and age.I saw many locals who kibbitzed in Mandarin with the staff. How do you say kibbitzed in Mandarin?? They almost to a person ordered a pork dish, apparently a specialty, that looked terrific on the plate.That'll be my next meal here...Under 15 bucks with 2 cups of tea out the door.It's right off the alley where Red's Place is...“

“I frequent this place all the time because of the convenience but the sandwiches are incredible and affordable, and the staff is kindhearted, helpful, and will go out of their way to make sure your experience is the best. If you can try it out one day, I would definitely recommend!“

“Nice sign on the street stopped us cold for an açaí bowl. My daughter ordered a regular açaí bowl from a friendly woman at the counter. Well-lit, clean, with a few indoor and outdoor seating. The strawberries on their bowl were juicy and sweet. The honey on top made it all especially tasty! The açaí itself is a bit runny, but we enjoyed and finished with smiles nevertheless!“

“This place is amazing! The atmosphere is inviting, the desserts are delicious, and the coffee is hands down one of the best I’ve had in town. Without a doubt, Cavalli is now my top spot in North Beach. If you’re in the area, it’s a must-visit.“
