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“

“Music is WAY TOO LOUD early AM. I requested they lower the volume, couldn't notice any difference. My wife commented it's unlikely any patron would ask to increase the volume. So true.
Just trying to have a conversation while enjoying the excellent food. Hard to do over loud, pounding, wailing indecipherable 'singing'.“

“Ordered a lemon poppyseed cake and iced latte. The latte was very smooth and perfect. While the texture of the cake was good with the poppyseeds adding great crunch, the lemon flavor of it was missing. Could have added more lemon zest and juice to it. As for the icing, it’s sugar icing. So there is nothing to complain about.“

“Amazing burritos. Bomb.com“

“A small, family-run spot tucked between Broadway and the Transamerica Pyramid delivers the kind of honest, soul-warming lunch that’s increasingly rare in the city. Run by a lovely older couple who treat every customer like a regular, this no-frills counter serves up comfort food at prices that feel like a time capsule.

Cash/venmo only so you know it's fire“

“San Francisco’s most hidden gem“

“Nice cafe with a good selection of drinks and food right off the main thoroughfare. Upon walk in you are able to see a menu showcasing all of their drinks and food. They have acai bowls, a huge assortment of pastries, crepes, etc. everything has Brazilian flair which was cool. We ordered acai bowls which are big for their size and jam packed full of fresh fruit. Honestly, one of the best acai bowls I’ve had, presentation wise and taste wise. The coffees were also good, but nothing spectacular. The light pastry we ordered was very good and fluffy. You can see the assortment of pastries as you go through the check out, as it’s a bit like a school lunch line. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a trendy but quiet spot to have a good meal and a cup of coffee.“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“I love stopping by on my way to work. I’m always there around 8am and the pastries are still warm! It’s a lovely atmosphere, with friendly employees, and delicious pastries and coffee. It’s normally around $12 for a pastry and latte. What more could you want?“

“This place was not my favorite place in San Francisco. The breakfast sandwich was OK. I didn’t really care for the taste of the chai latte. The staff was friendly even though they got my order wrong the first time. They made it right with no problem. This is not a place I think I would visit again.“

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

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

“I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve been here numerous times and it never occurred to me to leave a review. My team and I will visit Angie and her crew whenever we have a break in the morning. I have NOT had a bad experience here… EVER! Always welcomed with a smile. Food is fast, hot and delicious!!
Thank you so much for being in our town !!“

“Highly recommend Best coffee in San Francisco ☕️“

“Picked up a too good to go box for lunch and it was great! Walking in I was immediately heartened to see the sweetest man manning the counter offering folks to try things and explaining the food options which all smellt incredible. The other staff who was equally as kind and welcoming grabbed my box. It was packed full of mac and cheese, sausage, beans and some cooked cabbage. All very delicious too! There was a chimmichuri type sauce on the sausage that was INCREDIBLE. I will definitely be back tgtg or not. What a sweet little gem!“

“Great Service! Great for kids!“

“This was my first time visiting Oddcha while heading home from San Francisco, and it definitely caught my attention because of the great reviews.
We ordered the Coconut Bomb and the Thai Twister, and both drinks were excellent. They weren’t overly sweet and had a really refreshing flavor. The boba also tasted fresh, which made the drinks even better.
Ordering was easy using their kiosk system. One thing to note is that parking is located behind the shop. It was a bit confusing at first since the store is on a very busy road, but once you find the back parking area, it’s much more convenient.
Overall, a great stop for refreshing drinks—I’d definitely come back!“

“great value and delicious on- the- go breakfast selections. An independent establishment that enhances the neighborhood.“

“When we first arrived to the cafe we we’re very sceptical at first, but when we ate the food we knew we picked the right place. The croissant and granola were amazing, especially since it wasn’t that expensive. The bagel was a little basic but really good as well. The service and my overall experience was good.“

“Really nice place. Highly recommended“

“Great place to eat breakfast or lunch. Everytime my family & I come to San Francisco this is our go to place for a good meal. Staff is courteous & very pleasant when you arrive. We've never had a bad experience while dining at the Hollywood Cafe. Keep up the the Good Food & Great Service.“

“Great coffee and service!“

“Fantastic concept, fantastic cocktails“

“Sanaa Cafe offers an excellent selection of coffee, desserts, and delicious Fatayer. The atmosphere is truly unique, featuring authentic Yemeni architecture and Coffee. It is a perfect environment for productivity; it’s inviting, bring your laptop and work while enjoying a Sanaa Adani Chai or a Pistachio Mocha. I also highly recommend trying our delicious pistachio cheesecake.“

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

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

“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!“

“The moment we checked in we felt welcomed and excited to celebrate National Caviar Day. We came to celebrate a friend's birthday and first time at the lounge. Svetlana was our host and was so welcoming and charming. Our friend got to pick her own bottle from the champagne vending machine thanks to her. We were seated outside with warm cozy weather, noise level was enjoyable. The food, drinks and service were all great. Svetlana even surprised our friend with a birthday sundae with caviar and candle on top. Thank you so much for making her feel special on her birthday.“

“Nice corner coffee shop. Pastrami bagel was good but for me a bit small 🤣🤣.
Chocolate croissant was good.
High prices as normal in SF.
Girl making sandwiches was nice. Also the other guy but a bit more serious.
I was just expecting a new york style bagel. Huge and full! But flavor wise was nice.“

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

“This place is a hidden gem! The coffee is excellent, and Rosely makes every cup with great care. She also provides outstanding service and makes you feel very welcome.

There’s a cozy upstairs seating area that’s fresh and relaxing, with a charming little window overlooking the street. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy your coffee.

Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Always fun place wonderful experience“

“Hi Family if you’re looking for a place to get a cappuccino latte or a smoothie.

You might want to check out 901 Columbus Cafe.

It is pretty good. Do me a favor. If you do decide to check it out let them know Pastor Dre sent you.“

“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“

“Fresh and yummy!“

“I go to Yu's Cafe weekly with my coworkers. The owner, Kelly, and her mother are both nice, welcoming, and the drinks that they prepare and serve are absolutely delicious. They have a good selection of food and Cantonese desserts, on top of the drinks that they make with fresh fruit and flavorful teas. They offer alternative milk options as well for those who are lactose intolerant. They also have a great selection of toppings. We love this place and continue to visit weekly!“

“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.“

“I really like this cafe which sells authentic Yemeni snacks and drinks addition to the usual fare you would expect in any good coffee shop. The ambience is very open and welcoming with a few sofas to sit on if you want to feel extra comfortable. It's located in a vibrant area of downtown San Rafael.“

“One of the most inspired chicken sandwiches I’ve had in my life…

This place is hanging in there despite being the only tenant in a now defunct medical building. What that means for you is:
✅ ample parking
✅ beautiful outdoor seating
✅ quality food / service“

“I love the genuine service and the system they implement to try and give customers fast service without sacrificing quality. I love to order a Caramel Macchiato (not on the menu but they can make similar) with extra toasted blueberry bagels and cream cheese :)“

“Everything the previous customer said is true. The owner chef "puts his heart and soul" into his cooking, ensuring that every dish is tasty and visually appealing. It is a joy to come and spend time in such an open ambiance. It is ideal place if you work from home.“

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

“The cappuccino was absolutely delicious. It had very good quality coffee flavor in the housemaid vanilla made it even better. The blueberry pancakes for really tough and chewy. I would never get the pancakes again. They tasted just as bad as airport pancakes. The blueberry compote was good but the pancakes weren't. They also weren't served with butter. Overall very good cafe.“

“Cool and bright. Great lattes.“

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

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

“THE best lemon blueberry donut we’ve ever had! Donut is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The flavors are also very distinct. Matcha 8/10, Chai latte 9/10. The vibes and views?! Easy 100/10☺“
