37 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.“

“Very nice place for breakfast with tasty food. The place gets busy on the weekends but the service crews have a system and they get orders out fast. The patio area was nice and our waiter was great. Overall good place to enjoy a great breakfast and excellent service.“

“I thought this was an ordinary around the corner boba tea shop, the store presentation and their uniqueness really surprised me. Not only did they offer Vietnamese coffee made from equator coffee, they also offered a variety of matcha for matcha lovers like me. They pretty much have everyone covered. I also like that they have the option to do 0% sweet, which is extremely important for those who are health conscious.“

“Met for a Summer Vacation lunch today with my Bestie (who has enjoyed CAVIAR COMPANY before on several occasions). We are both teachers, so our downtime events need to feel extra special. Svetlana (Our AMAZING Server) made certain that we were treated to the perfect experience. Knowledgable about the food/wining pairings, but also beyond passionate about her joy for caviar/champagne. Menu prices might appear high, but you can mix and match items and share plates. EXTRAORDINARY!!“

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

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

“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🥰!“

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

“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!“

“I went in the early afternoon and there were still 3-5 types of vegan muffins. It looked like they were all cornmeal based. I got the apricot one, which tasted mostly like a regular corn muffin. Even though the apricot wasn't prominent, I still enjoyed it and would like to try the others.“

“The food was so good that I had to visit here 2 days in a row!

Monica, the owner, was helpful and patient as we asked about the various menu options available. We had kimchi soup with banchan & a protein rice bowl with spicy pork, and both were excellent.
The beverage options were great as well, including everything from Aloe Vera juice and Korean soft drinks to classics like coffee & boba tea.“

“Had to stop and use the restroom when the freeway got too jammed to wait so, detoured and purchased some giant cookies as away of saying thank you for one, being open in a very commercial area with limited options; two, for letting me use their restroom and three having very reasonable prices and a friendly demeanor.
Oh, the cookies were great, too!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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!

“💙 I can come here every day. 💜“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and drinks, healthy, creative dishes, high quality ingredients, delicious coffee and bakery. Casual and friendly atmosphere.“

“Servers are fun to talk with and to learn about the best treats!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Our fav goto weekend morning to afternoon stop and aby day meetup place for friends. Across the street from Larkspur Ferry for public transport or convenient parking on site. The hardest thing is DECIDING what to order, everything is that good.“

“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.“

“I wish they had another one of these in southern Marin. The food is really good good balance meals. The prices are right you can drop in for a bowl of soup or go nuts with handmade sandwiches. There’s lots of desserts very easy to access very quick service.“
