“THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DRIVE-UP IN DOWNTOWN NOVATO. I go here every morning before work. It's great. The baristas are super nice and very friendly. Coffee is very, very good. I honestly think I like the seasonal flavors at Marin Coffeen Roasters more than Starbucks'. The toasted marshmallow lattee is to die for. Its not candy coffee like Starbucks. Marin Roasters strikes a perfect balance between flavor and coffee, so youre still tasting coffee as well as flavoring. Pastries are also surprisingly good. Coffee is the same price as Starbucks.As far as "atmosphere", I go to the South Novato Blvd location which is a drive-up so there isnt really much atmosphere to be had to begin with which is why my atmosphere rating is 3 stars, but its still pretty cute. Do NOT take the 3 stars for atmosphere as a negative, its literally just because this specific location is a drive up building. The coffee place before them was also a drive up. The building they happen to occupy is specifically designed for drive up coffee. Also, they take walk-up orders and have dog treats. I don't know why they wouldn't do walk-up, but its still worth mentioning cause you can grab a coffee and a treat for your dog if you're on a walk.The Ignacio and San Anselmo location however ARE sit down cafes, but I've never been there. Judging by pictures, they look very nice and are the place you want to go to if you want to sit down and aren't just picking up coffee and a pastry to goTLDR the coffee is fantastic, I like it more than Starbucks, and the people are great. Go there. Support local and enjoy some of the best coffee in town.“

“Decent overall spot. This place is a good spot to get something to eat and grab a couple pints. The food was okay and the service was expected. I would say this isn't a top tier place but it is a great little addition to novato and I would recommend.“

“Need to claim your table if eating there. Autumn special tea beverage was excellent. Batista and check out are very nice and efficient. Depending on time of day, might be an order wait but never too long. If you want water, you need to ask for it when you order.“
“This is our go to place for lunch. It can get crowded, especially on weekends, but the salads and sandwiches are great. I almost always have the Caesar with chicken, but occasionally one of the sandwiches. Always delicious. The baked goods are also excellent although I try to stay clear of them for calorie purposes!The only thing that can be annoying is when there is a long line and it's because someone is standing at the bakery section and there is a person free to take an order, but you have to wait for the person picking out things at the bakery counter. Why can't someone give an order in that case? It just needs a bit of management.“

“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“

“I love the Pump Espresso Bar. Love it. In fact, if I was lucky enough to work from home, I would work from the Pump. The inside is super cute, and it is oddly calming as soon as you walk in. This is saying a lot as I am one of the most high strung, overly driven humans and calm is not in my vocabulary. Lots of great coffee options, and they are all so good! The barista that helped us last time was fantastic and I want to give her all the kudos. She let me taste test their pumpkin syrup and she mentioned that they make it in house. I ended up going with the cardamom latte which seems to be the only drink I get at the Pump Espresso Bar. I keep telling myself to branch out and try a different beverage.Lots of food options that look delicious. The Pump Espresso Bar is always busy and it is such a welcoming local business that I am more than happy to give my business to.“
“These drinks are amazing and worth the drive. They are better than Starbucks and worth the price. I love that everything was really fast and smooth. The customer service is absolutely incredible. Very friendly ladies here who will never fail to put a smile on your face.“

“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.“

“I am so angry that I found this place. The people are nice and the pasties are amazing. I'm angry because I am trying to eat less pastries and Stellina Pronto is making that more difficult. Maybe even impossible. But if you are looking for a great pastry spot in the area or good sandwich - this is your spot.“

“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 ☆☆☆☆☆“
“I just got the Iced Mexican Mocha and oh my god it was phenomenal! I have yet to try any other drinks, but I'll most likely have tried the whole menu before too long! Stay local and have a nice cup of coffee here, you won't be disappointed!“

“Hey you! Yeah you! Want to know where the best cafe in town is? Well come on down to the River Front Cafe! I ordered a simple cheeseburger but was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was! Were you wondering about the service? Well don't worry cause I was just getting to that part. My family was greeted by the owner and let me just say he should get a reward for being sooooo nice! When we were given our food (which didn't take long at all) we were greeted by a very nice server. When looking around this cafe you will see the most beautiful paintings in all of California! And I think they are for sale... I'm talking about you art lovers! 5/5 no 100,000/100,000!“

“Made a pit stop here, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was! We loved the aqus flat bread. We also got the aqus flatbread, Mediterranean flatbread, salmon nicoise salad, and smoked chicken flatbread. The aqus was my favorite. I thought it might be too rich, but the duck and gorgonzola were well balanced, and the duck was juicy. The menu was really well priced, which was unexpected considering all the fresh ingredients.“
“They are the sweetest people here. I don't ever write reviews but since I've moved to this area i am so glad to have found a gem like this. They give quality from service to food at its best. I come back not just for their delicious great proportioned food but because how their business is ran.“
“This ice cream is to die for! Good: - Good prices on scoops and had a yelp discount - The strawberry and cookies and cream ice cream were the best I'd had in a very long time! Thoughrouly impressed and it was not too sweet and fluffy - Super fun and nice servers - let us have samples too Bad: - Long lines here! - Pretty casual diner ambiance here Overall would come back - the ice cream is super good and satisfied my cravings perfectly.“

“Love this little place. The Alice in Wonderland art is so cute! We got potato cakes, eggs, and a quinoa bowl. All of it was good. It took a while but it's ok...I'd rather have food that someone put some time into rather than slopping it on a plate. Nice staff.“

“Great cafe, went here to and from the north coast and it was fantastic! I will definitely stop here again next time I'm in Marin.A heads up though if you park on the street nearby with meters, I had the city parking enforcement ticket me 10 minutes before my meter actually ran out and I had no proof because I used quarters, so either use a credit card or take a photo of your meter...“

“Get here early or you'll wait in line to get a table. Beautiful set up inside. You can sit to dine or just go to the pastry or bread line to purchase baked goods to take home. Love the French bistro vibe. We sat at the community table. Not too bad. Didn't like the cold air hitting me every time the door opened but, hey, I've got a seat. While my party sat down, I wandered to check out the pastries. Everything looked absolutely scrumptious! Difficult to decide but I ended up selecting these pastries to take home. You can also just order from here and bring it to your table. Blueberry Cloud Chocolate Croissant Apple Braid Jam & Cream When I returned to my table, my party had already ordered their coffees. Gorgeous gigantic lattes and I ordered a cappuccino. Took a minute for coffees to arrive. Dishes are large portions. Plated nicely and looked amazing. We ordered: A cup of Asparagus Soup - delicate but full of flavor. If you love asparagus, you'll enjoy this. Corned Beef Hash - generous portion of meat topped with 2 perfectly poached eggs. Hope you're hungry! Croque Madame Egg Breakfast Service was great. Our waitress was friendly and professional. She always checked on us. She had a great attitude.“

“Organic bakery in the heart of San Rafael. I came upon this cozy cottage looking place when I got off the beaten path of 4th street.Worth finding!Coffee and hot and cold sandwiches available but the variety of baked goods was so creative … I went for the sweets… the banana Meyer lremon bread/cake is a standout. And I loved loved loved the whole wheat very muffin.Incredible flavors and healthy ingredients! Yay! . I no longer have to be sad that Arizmendi is gone from the San Rafael scene.What a gem…. They even have an upright piano and a children’s books and game corner.I’ll be back!?“
“Purchased a Specialized Kenevo about 3 months ago from Splitrock. This is my 4th emtb. Jason, the owner, and his staff did an excellent job in dialing in the bike to my exact preferences. This was definitely the best emtb purchasing experience I’ve ever had by miles!! The staff was happy to go above and beyond in dialing the bike to my exact specs and expeditiously upgraded the forks as I waited in the great shop and enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Splitrock restaurant. On getting the bike, I was able to immediately test ride it on some great trails (classic Marin trails) a short riding distance from the shop. After the maiden run, I enjoyed a cold brew at the Splitrock tap room with some local riders who were as stoked as I was after their trail rides!! Great and rare combination of mtb shop, restaurant, tap room and friendly post ride scene!! I hope to be back soon and feel so fortunate to have the experience I did at Splitrock Tap and Wheel!???♂️?“
