Wonderful and super cute cafe on fourth street. There are tons of great options for food and drinks and it is a really great atmosphere. I like to come here to get coffee with a friend or to do work as it is a great place to be productive.

This cafe has staying power...has been open for many years. I recently started having weekend breakfast there, but the woman working behind the counter on Saturdays is not very welcoming: stone-face, no smile, no intentional eye contact and no greeting. Big turnoff. Think I'll venture to a more friendlier venue on Saturdays

A very underrated restaurant. Cozy atmosphere, very hearty dishes and prices are reasonable. I ordered a half falafel with large salad and it tasted amazing, price was just $15.50. Interior is spacious and quiet enough for a nice morning brunch with friends or loved ones. They have very nice coffee too, I ordered a Cappuccino which tasted very nice, nothing amazing but not bad. Service was quick as well! Will definitely come back, if not for the food I am sure I can just get a cup of coffee and enjoy it at a table by the window.

I go here all the time to get coffee, to work on my laptop or to meet friends! A super chill spot with a large menu of tasty meals. The coffee is high quality, internet is fast and front-of-house staff is consistently friendly! The Avocado Beet Salad is a must-have! I also like the hummus plate!

Used to come here all the time as a college kid. I would say that it seems... basically unchanged in the last 15 years, with the exception of the attendant price increases over that stretch, and they now have a requested two-hour time limit for patrons--this seems a little silly for a cafe of this generous size, I will say, but whatever. But the food I've had there the last couple weeks has been... just pretty far below the standard I would expect to be served at a large cafe right on 4th street. Attached is a picture of the "avocado toast with scrambled egg" I ordered today, more than $11 after tax and even more when factoring in a tip. I just don't think this is acceptable quality. The avocado had that slight tang to it that you get with pre-mashed paste out of a tub, rather than fresh avocado, and the "scrambled egg" was a rubbery puck that looked like it'd been stuck in a microwave for a minute and pulled out. I haven't tried the higher end of their menu (I recall the caprese being pretty good several years back) but I can't in good conscience give a great review when I'm shelling out more than $13, tip included, for this. The same price would get me actual quality avocado toast, on rustic bread and even with salad greens and a poached egg, at countless other spots in Marin. Coffee was fine though, and it's a good space to work, although as mentioned they have a sign up urging you not spend more than two hours there. If I have a better experience with food quality there in the future I'll update my review, but as of now, it is what it is.

Great neighborhood cafe. I go there often to meet with friends for coffee/ lunch/ breakfast. Atmosphere is funky and delightful, not a canned franchise place. The food is great with many options, also vegan and gluten-free choices. Staff are great.

Wonderful cafe serving breakfast, brunch and lunch, all our meals have been fresh, delicious and quality for the cost. There is outdoor seating to enjoy the weather and spacious indoor seating.Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating and pet friendly outdoors.
Terrific, authentic middle Eastern food. Almost a study hall so many people meet and work there. It's always buzzing and delicious. The Fattoush salad is the best in the Bay Area!

Been here twice. Both times, the food handed to me when my pager went off was the wrong order. Both times, the service was less than lackluster; crabby even. The food is meh; good menu ideas, but overrun processed wraps, too much dressings and sauces. I’ll spend $25 for lunch elsewhere in the future.

The tuna melt was delish. I shared it with my mom and it was enough for both of us. I wasn't able to take pictures because it was closing soon. Mom said the coffee was really good. The cafe was clean and well lit. The staff were friendly.
