“We had a great time here. It was a busy Saturday evening. We didn’t make reservations so we were glad to get standing room near the bar. We had heard the cocktails are great and they are. We started with the Alpine Sour and a non-alcoholic drink. Absolutely delicious. The bar tender Manny was excellent. Manny also made us a fantastic paper plane (not on the menu) and another cocktail.“

“Great food at more than reasonable prices. The family makes it a point to eat there whenever we are in town.“

“I can’t recommend the Garden Cafe enough! I had a wonderful first experience here today having lunch. The food was delicious & nutritious- I got the Salmon Greek Salad (comes with garlic bread) and the “San Rafael Sunrise” drink, which is a juice including veggies and chia seeds. Lots of seating options indoors and outdoors with good lighting. Free wifi for those looking for a good study spot.
The service was AMAZING and contributed to creating such a friendly, inviting atmosphere. I have to give a special shout-out to Miguel, who was so gracious and apologetic about my juice being made wrong the first time. They were out of beets and I believe Miguel called someone and had more beets brought in while I was eating lunch so that I had a corrected juice with beets to enjoy before I finished eating! To be clear, I told Miguel it was completely fine that they were out of beets but he insisted it wasn’t fair to not get what I ordered and made sure I got my beet juice. I can vouch for how much the Garden Cafe values each customer there! I will be recommending to friends and coming back.“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“We had a great experience! We were walking and randomly came in. They have a happy hour Monday-Friday from 12 to 9 with a cocktail of the day for $10. They have some appetizers most for $10. The ceviche is a must! Chloe was amazing! Made reservations for dinner later!“

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

“food was very good. good location for big groups“

“This place is an awesome neighborhood cafe. The food is seriously good!!! I bet 90% of the business is local.

We checked google maps for 4.5 star or better and this place was on the list. The menu looked interesting. We were visiting from Phoenix and had been eating really heavy for the past few days (I think we gained 5lbs!). We wanted something light and different.

I had the turkey club with clam chowder. Very yummy, chowder was not as creamy as you would expect but was very fresh tasting, very good!!

Wife had the lobster and crab melt. Normally I would avoid this, I immediately think of a frozen old tasting seafood mix with cheese on toast. This sandwich was delicious!!!!!! Seafood was very fresh!!

The oldest had the Ultimate Breakfast, fluffy pancakes and everything cooked perfectly!!

The youngest had the Angus cheeseburger. He said it was very good and finished his meal before everyone else!!!

This place is a great neighborhood cafe with delicious food!!“
