34 Best Cafes near Fairfax

“The best. Fast, super tasty breakfast sandwiches and burritos, and delicious chai. Oh and they always give your dog a treat! A bonus is that when you tip them they profusely thank you, like much more than I would expect. I always tip but I do appreciate when it is acknowledged, and they always do!“

“My go-to when I'm in town! Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend!“

“Split rock just dropped Thai inspired smash pork tacos and they are incredible. I’m not a fan so I get it without that, but I had Sriracha and the flavor is just mind blowing best thing in Marin right now. Also if you come before five, Sterling’s serving beer and his knowledge of beer is amazing. He offers you testers to see if you’d like it and knows what everything tastes like. Definitely me and my wife’s favorite place right now.“

“We ordered the house milk tea with boba and the twilight taro with boba - both with less sugar and less ice. They were both delicious! Personally I preferred the milk tea - but I tend to like that more usually anyways. Parking was a little difficult but service was quick!“

“Just had a fantastic breakfast! The food was delicious, and everything came out quickly. definitely a spot I'd recommend for a morning meal! Anita was a wonderful server, quick with service and checked in to top off glasses, taking empty plates and ask if we needed anything.
She was the highlight of our visit. Im excited to come back soon!“

“~A divine & memorable experience for our anniversary. If you are looking for the ultimate special romantic festive place to celebrate...this is it. We were able to secure a reservation, but plan way in advance! Service was welcoming, fun, very informative, and a joy. We tasted champagne flights, found our bottle, took some home...had divine cuisine from deviled eggs to grilled cheese to tartare and ice cream for dessert. Presentation was beautiful! The tastes ran from savory to salty to sweet...delicate, deep, and divine. We were simply blown away by the experience--and are still thinking about it. Our family lives in Tiburon...we live in Boston...it was the dining highlight of our visit, and well worth the cross country flights to celebrate at The Caviar Company in Tiburon!“

“The best cappuccino in Marin hands down! Been going there for years -- the service has been consistently excellent and the pastries and cakes are quintessential Italian delicacies! Gary and Jeannie Rulli are the dedicated hands-on proprietors -- wonderful people and a blessing to our Larkspur community🥰!“

“I’m highly recommend it ..I’m here every day“

“Great coffee great service most of the time. People working there need to learn to communicate and let customers know when they are backed up so when they make an order, they understand how long it will take instead of letting them know after the fact.“

“It is not super easy to find a vegetarian sandwich that is substantial, but the eggplant sandwich delivered. I really liked the type of bread roll that they used, it held up perfectly. Great flavors all around. I look forward to coming back for another great vegetarian lunch!“

“Great outdoor dining. Great food ! Great service !“

“Thank you Marin Coffee Roasters for supporting the Lucky Run this past Sunday to benefit Novato High School's Safe & Sober Grad Night. We appreciate you! Safe and Sober Grad of Novato“

“Enjoyable outside setting; I have enjoyed the food and mocha. 🙂“

“Cute mom and pop Korean cafe. Feels like a very casual Korean mom meal. Nothing fancy, but definitely prepared with love. Prices very reasonable and all house-made. Good banchan and good texture on the multigrain rice. Healthy and legit. Very happy to see the owner is actually a Korean and not a Caucasian person making mid-fake Asian fast casual food lol. Will def come back and keep supporting this business!“

“Had my espresso machine serviced here, and it was an extremely helpful experience.Food choices are a little old school. Haven't seen piroshki for a while, but they have em.Geared to serving the local business employees, since they're in the warehouse district.“

“Spent $32 for a cherry scone, bacon breakfast burrito, and a drip coffee. That being said, it was like if my mom was making me breakfast before school but so much tastier. Very delicious, great scone, drinkable coffee, would recommend other than it being expensive. But hey, what isn’t these days.

(Okay the burrito was probably the smallest breakfast burrito I’ve ever purchased, and it was $16, but it tasted good)

Okay I gotta say it again, the scone was fantastic and had the perfect amount of sugar and was perfectly moist and crumbly and delicious. Soooo goood, but sooooo $8 ☹️

Vegetarian options: Good amount of vegetarian as breakfast can be subbed avocado for protein easily but not many other vegetarian options. My friend had a vegetarian breakfast burrito and left satisfied.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options, also tended to be on the milder amount of sugar used which I prefer

Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere and very homey vibes. It is an adult professional atmosphere because this is SF but very friendly and comfortable.“

“I picked up a sandwich to go. When I got home, I noticed the lunch was a chicken salad. I called the Cafe to let them know, Amy, the kitchen supervisor, was most gracious: she told me the next time I come in, the meals on them. To that I say cheers!“

“Got the Da Kine Greens which was full of flavor and healthiness and kale. While it was also a million dollars, being in this pseudo-hippie town full of reclusive wealthy people, it still was worth the snack. Would stop by again if back to charming Bolinas.5 stars!!!“

“💙 I can come here every day. 💜“

“Fantastic bookstore, with amazing inventory, staff and cafe. One of my all time favorites.“

“Caffe Acri is a wonderful spot for food, coffee, and desserts! We ordered gelato and they had a wonderful array of flavors. They have dairy-free sorbet flavors so vegans and lactose intolerant people can still find a delicious gelato. I highly recommend the raspberry, lemon, and spumoni flavors!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options“

“Love this coffee shop. Nice sandwiches, easy ordering online. Quick in and out.“

“Lovely service; easy to find table; tasty food and juices and nice clean amenities. Would recommend and would go back if we were in the area. Also next to the floating houses in Sausalito - nice area and ambience.“

“When I went there, they had no lines and the churros were only $2.84 for 3 churros. They were very kind to me and quick to serve. I was craving for churros and started searching. Lo and behold, there is a churro restaurant just exclusively churros set aside sandwiches and smoothies but now I know there is a churro place when I am craving for churros

Parking: Good luck finding a place to park as their parking lot is a shared lot.“

“Little slice of life and good food! All the food is home-made and uses good products. You will get a lot!! If you are a Hispter, stay clear, this may be too real for you!

Parking: Restaurant is in an industrial area....so depends on business I guess.

Kid-friendliness: we had a three year old with us. She was fine. The restaurant is cafeteria style.“

“It was an amazingly flavourful brunch that my husband I shared for his birthday. We have both visited places in Los Angeles as well as Vancouver, Canada and this place is 2nd to none! A must check out! We will be back David and the crew! Cheers Aaryan and Nadya“

“All the in-house made items are amazing! Love this place! There is no day that isn’t made better by stopping here! 💗☕️“

“Our wedding reception (hosted here) was absolutely epic! The entire experience at Sweetwater exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

The staff were exceptional--professional, attentive, and so genuinely fun. The service was impeccable, and they made sure that every detail was handled with care and efficiency. We felt incredibly supported throughout the entire event.

The food was truly delicious! Our guests were raving about how good everything was. We had fun putting the menu together, we appreciated the suggestions. It all came together amazingly.

The vibe was on point! The lighting on stage during performances was perfect--creating a magical atmosphere that complemented our theme beautifully. The way everything was set up was just right and made the evening so special. We especially appreciated being able party late - the fact that we could stay until 1am was very unique for a wedding venue. It made for an extended night of celebration and joy that we will cherish forever.

The planning process was smooth and enjoyable. The team's dedication and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the evening, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding reception.“

“The roast beef sandwich is in a class of its own, and the staff is very friendly. D.G. Cafe does it right and it's nice to have a high-quality lunch spot here in San Anselmo that isn't Comforts.“

“I came in today randomly for the first time today from the pet store nearby. I was really hungry but didn't know what to do because I had my dog with me. I called and told the lady over the phone told her if I could place the order and if they could bring it out for me because I had my dog. She said, no don't worry, you come in and pay and leave it's okay. They have tile floor so it made sense and really I appreciated that I didn't have to go hungry. My tuna melt was tasty, but what really made my day was their freshly baked breads in different flavors sold by the slice, I got pumpkin, zucchini, and banana for my partner. Best store bought bread ever! Soooo delicious! I will be returning.I had a good experience with customer service.Anyway, I am a happy customer.“

“We had forks and fingers cater for our wedding of 125 people.

Debbie and her team did an incredible job. ALL of our guests were raving about the food, especially the tri tip.

Debbie also took great care of my wife and I - she was generous with the tasting menu and really wanted to make sure we were happy with our choices before the wedding day.

We feel very lucky to have had her team serve our loved family and friends. Every one was just so taken care of, including those with dietary restrictions.

10/10 would recommend this caterer.“

“Place was a little difficult to find. Google maps a little confused. But stay strong it will be well forth it. Great service from owner & her daughter Breanna & Vicente & the cooks & staff. Excellent food. Very delicious. Great diner with beautiful old school counter. Highly recommended!!“
