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“

“We ordered several items for breakfast. Lemon croissant was great, and the breakfast burrito was cheesy and delicious. The avocado on toast was cold, as was the bacon on top. Carlos asked how everything was and when i suggested these improvements he was all ears and quick to report to the kitchen. He then returned with kitchen apologies and offered me a complementary pastry which I thought was total class. His service alone made it an enjoyable experience.“

“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“

“Very yummy stuff at this cafe! A little on the pricy side, but it's san francisco so it's typical prices for the town. Very good pastries and small sandwiches. I got one of their savory crepes and it was great! Highly recommend if you're visiting fisherman's wharf to also visit this cafe!“

“I absolutely adore Lydia and Joe—they’re so warm and welcoming, always fun to chat with, and their food is DELISH 😍 I can’t get enough of the chicken curry and udon soup (add dumplings + all the toppings). Astonished that you can still have a full lunch near FiDi for $7, and it’s what I crave over any of my other favorites where lunch will run you $18++. Flavor per dollar cannot be beat anywhere else in SF.“

“San Francisco’s most hidden gem“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“Yum! A colleague brought in a selection of pastries from Maison Nico, and everything we tried was delicious. The croissant was especially good, flaky, buttery, and perfectly baked, and the bread was just as impressive. Overall, a great spot for high quality pastries, and definitely one I would go back to.“

“Great gem of a spot for a quick bite and nice ambience. Enough space to sit and work
With fast wifi.

Have some good healthy foods and more hearty foods. I had the vegetable sandwich which was good. Coffee was nice and not super acidic which is what I prefer.

Servers were bubbly and nice!“

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

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

“Highly recommend Best coffee in San Francisco ☕️“

“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!“

“Such a great find! I forgot my wallet in my car and they accepted Apple Pay so that’s a nice bonus. Just a little hole in the wall spot located in an office building so there’s not much seating,but that’s totally fine since the food is all take and go. It’s the kind of spot my father taught me to keep an eye out for, because they always have the best food, and this place did not disappoint. The service was great and very helpful with recommendations. I ordered a chicken and chimichurri sandwich that was delicious, the owner suggested some chipotle to add spice and that was great. Generously portioned, and at 15$ was very reasonably priced! Great food, great vibe from the owner, definitely going back.“

“Great Service! Great for kids!“

“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“

“A well‑earned 5 stars.
This breakfast spot delivers the kind of meal that makes you pause mid‑bite. The breakfast burrito came bursting with flavour - rich, well‑seasoned, and wrapped just right. The pancakes were a standout: airy, tender, and beautifully crisp at the edges. Every plate felt thoughtful and satisfying, and the portion sizes were generous enough to keep even big appetites happy. A must‑visit for anyone chasing a memorable San Francisco meal.“

“Great coffee and service!“

“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 !!“

“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.“

“Fantastic concept, fantastic cocktails“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is the most amazing spot. We are so lucky to have it here in Tiburon. I have come to this place at least once a month for the past year and I truly love the service and the ambience and the quality of the food. For the life of me I can not understand how anyone is claiming the service was bad, and I would definitely caution anyone in believing any of these reviews. Try for yourself and you will see how amazing it is!! Every member of this team is great!!“

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

“The cafe is warm, beautiful and aesthetic with old slow romantic jazz music. Its good for dates and a cozy vibe.

The barista was amazing, he taught me two spanish words. I ordered a chai hot tea which is basically milk latte with sugar.

Seating is there for inside outside too.
All the drinks were under 10$ and sandiwches below 20$. A mirror in the cafe is a plus too.“

“Always fun place wonderful experience“

“Fresh and yummy!“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“​Yu's Cafe is a good spot for unique treats at very reasonable prices. It is located in Chinatown, beside a park. Their Coffee Cheese is absolutely delicious.

​The warm red bean dessert is another winner, delicious whether you order it hot or cold. The cafe uses an efficient touch screen ordering service, but the friendly staff are always there to provide warm service. Great value, great flavor!“

“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.“

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

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

“Cool and bright. Great lattes.“

“OMG some of the best coffee I had in a long time. The people here are so nice and friendly (great service).
Now to the food the BL Burrito is too die for, ask for less feta unless you like feta. The layers of flavor were amazing.
Highly recommended on all aspects of what a restaurant should deliver (food + service + atmosphere).“
