50 Best Cafes near Larkspur

“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🥰!“

“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“

“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.“

“I come here sometimes it’s very good histories and overrated for because it’s very good but also located and a very good place and mostly I will give it a fly but today I’ll give it a floor because the varieties of pastries you could choose from there are not a lot“

“Amazing burritos. Bomb.com“

“Cafe de Casa offers an exceptional Brazilian culinary experience. It offers countless meal and snack options for people from all over the world to learn more about this delicious culture. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.“

“Pain au chocolat was phenomenal. Canele was mediocre. I had high expectations for a French bakery. Seasonal croissant seemed to be a berry crumble type double baked croissant. Tasty and fresh! Went on a weekday morning with no plans so the casual atmosphere and no line was nice and relaxing.

Their pate en croute assortment looked like art. Would’ve loved to try but hopefully another time.“

“5/5! Would come back again and smile about it :) great atmosphere, friendly staff, plants aplenty, yummy food, and even a little corner with trinkets for purchase. I got the veggie sandwich and would recommend! I tried the yuzu latte as well but don’t think it’s a good choice- if you love yuzu, find a yuzu lemonade or a drink where it’s not mixed with coffee. I was hoping it’d be a light drink to highlight the yuzu but it pretty much just tasted like coffee with a hint of yuzu (you’ll really need to stir up the drink to taste even that hint). I think it was a cool idea to include a trendy flavor in a latte but it doesn’t let the yuzu shine. It wasn’t bad but I just don’t think it was the best use of yuzu. I’d recommend a different drink.

Good work/study place! I’m always on the lookout for growing my list of the best spots in the city to work/study. This place is a medium sized cafe- not too cramped but not large. A fair amount of seating with good lighting, wifi, and outlets. Bathroom open without key needed.“

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“San Francisco’s most hidden gem“

“Highly recommend Best coffee in San Francisco ☕️“

“This spot is such a great option if ur looking to grab & go for lunch. They serve delicious hearty meals at a great price point.
I found out about the place from too good to go, but will definitely come back to try more of their menu.

I was given a generous portion of rice, beans, vegetable , mac&cheese & salmon.
Everything was seasoned & cooked well, from the salmon that’s so tender & not dry, has great sauce on top. Flavorful yellow rice, the vegetables was crunchy & delicious.
If ur looking for a hearty & quick lunch stop by this place!“

“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.“

“Cafe Isabella's delicious food (they serve my favorite San Francisco burrito), and overall appealing aesthetic design reflect the fine tastes of its owner, Hilda. And, I happily note that Cafe Isabella strictly adheres to COVID-19 mitigation best practices.“

“Very polite staff. Soup was hearty, salad was fresh, and portions were generous all around. The cashier even threw in a free drink on account of it being a slow day. Lighting is gorgeous and it feels like a little pocket of good in the City.“

“Exceptionally helpful & friendly staff cooking superb food in a very chill environment. A must visit in the city.“

“Very good little Cafe and was an unexpected find on our last day in San Francisco, the food was really tasty and pancakes were really good, prices were fair, portions were generous, good selection of food on the menu and the service was brilliant, a must to visit.“

“Genuine 10/10 hidden gem. I don’t say this lightly. Best soba I’ve had outside of Japan. Best value in SF hands down. And this close to Fidi? Absolutely insane. I don’t even want to write this review because I want to gatekeep this place for myself, but the cute couple running it was so kind I couldn’t help but want to show some support.“

“We started our anniversary day at the Caviar Co in Tiburon, CA. We sat outside (beautiful day), and had a glass of Gaston Chiquet champagne. Excellent champagne with notes of green apple. Ordered the Siberian Sturgeon caviar, very smooth and delicious. Also ordered their charcuterie plate, nice assortment. The service was excellent, top notch!! We want to spread the word. We definitely would come back hear again. You will not be disappointed. Best to make a reservation.“

“Amazing place for breakfast and coffee! I highly recommend it.“

“Best roast pork around !!! For $12 are you kidding me ???“

“A very charming café with a cozy atmosphere. You can even sit upstairs, and the girls at the counter were very friendly. The pastries were delicious, and it’s convenient that they accept credit cards. There’s seating both inside and outside, which is great. However, the only downside is that people are constantly smoking on their outdoor patio, and the smoke drifts inside. Unfortunately, I had to leave quickly because sitting in the smoke was unpleasant. I walked by the café a few more times afterward, and every time, someone was smoking outside.“

“I was gifted a box of chocolate’s as a thank you that was shipped to Ohio in June. They arrived perfectly. And OMG they were delicious! I savored those chocolates and smiled each time I indulged in one. Definitely recommend!“

“Forgot breakfast, needed something fast between meetings. Found V Cafe.

This place doesn’t look like much from the outside – just a small corner shop. But the food hits way above its weight class.

Got their egg sandwich on a croissant with added ham. Ready in minutes, which was clutch. The croissant was fresh and flaky, the egg and melted cheese were spot-on, but the real standout was their mixed vegetable spread. Whatever they put in there turned a solid breakfast sandwich into something actually memorable.
I’ll definitely be back.“

“Fresh and yummy!“

“Café Angolo in San Francisco is a delightful spot — their cappuccino is perfectly hot and strong, just the way it should be. The outdoor seating is inviting and comfortable, surrounded by charming planters that add a touch of beauty and calm to the experience. A perfect place to pause and enjoy the moment.“

“Ok.. I just hit the jackpot with this Cafe'. I have been craving a hot pastrami sandwich for the longest time thinking the only place to satisfy my craving will be in New York until I gave Sweet Joanna’s a try. I was lucky to be there when one of the owners, Mr. Zaro, took my order and confidently assured me that their sandwiches are the best. He was not lying. I got the best looking layered sandwich of pastrami, cheese, pastrami, avocado, pastrami lettuce and tomatoes on a warm Dutch crunch. I had to take a photo of this master piece to post here. I was in heaven when I took the first bite. The bread, the cheese and pastrami were heated first, explained Mr. Zaro, then the other fixings were added. That way you get an amazing crunchy bread with warm pastrami, melted cheese and the fresh veggies. This place will be my first stop when I am in San Francisco. It is clean with friendly staff and a great service.“

“Just stop in. You'll pat yourself on the back for discovering yet another San Francisco sought after gem, and why San Francisco has long been famous for neighborhood gems, like the Fueling Station.“

“Great coffee and service!“

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

“As a Taiwanese I approve of this! The boba is very good and the tea is also very good. There's a combo deal for medium hk milk tea with an egg waffle. We had lychee oolong and hk milk tea with an egg waffle. The waffle is also good. Light and fluffy. They made it right after ordering which makes the crust crunch.“

“The espresso drinks!!!! better than Starbucks! And everyone that knows me know that I'm a a Starbucks fan!“

“Cool and bright. Great lattes.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The service, neighborhood, community integration with current events reflected in their menu. Today I experienced a fusion of Italian Heritage Culture thru food in their special event menu as we watched the parade at a curbside table.“

“Wow. What a delicious cake 🎂 we ordered. Everyone should try their desserts, they are absolutely amazing!“

“Caffe Greco in San Francisco is a delightful spot that captures the essence of a classic Italian café. Their lattes are superb—rich and creamy, making for the perfect morning pick-me-up. The sacrapantina is a must-try; it strikes a wonderful balance of flavors that keeps you coming back for more. Don’t miss the tiramisu either; it’s light and indulgent, a great way to end your visit. The only downside is that it's cash-only, which can be a hassle. Overall, it's a charming place that offers a cozy atmosphere and consistently delicious treats. A great spot to unwind!“

“This local hangout is the bomb for food! Definitely impressed with the both atmosphere and especially food. It was delicious! This is off the beaten tourist path and is worth seeking out to spend an hour or two leisurely eating, drinking, and people watching.“

“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!“

“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“

“Nice and relaxing place. Wish they have more food choices“

“10 stars!!!! The owners were so incredibly friendly, warm and welcoming, and the Hong Kong milk tea was soothing and delicious. Prices are very reasonable (especially since the portion was very large for the drink size), and the taste felt clean and fresh. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back again!“

“Really nice place. Highly recommended“

“Friendly staff, great (and healthy) Boba and bakery items.“

“Caprese sandwich is amazing“

“Great sandwiches. We love many of the specialty sandwiches and make your own options. The only problem is they don’t provide a ‘no meat’ option on build your own sandwich for vegetarians. 😀🙁“

“Our nonprofit organization used The Lightbox Cafe for catering at an event. The quality of the food and service were awesome. I would highly recommend!“

“This is a good lunch spot for FiDi. Sandwiches are $12.50-$14. Salads are $10-$11. Prices on their website are outdated. My sandwich , the LLB special $12.50 was roast beef, turkey, ham, swiss, provolone on dutch crunch, was alright. The New England Clam Chowder $8.50 was chunky and not filled all the way up. That tasted OK as well. Friendly service for a counter style restaurant. Kitchen was fast taking account they were busy. I was pretty full afterwards.“
