Cafes near Mill Valley

“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.“

“A convenient cafe with quality offerings (both made-to-order and ready-made options). The coffee is the best I had during my week in San Francisco, and the turkey chili was very good. The staff are friendly and hard-working but sometimes overwhelmed; it took a long time for someone to refill the half-and-half pitcher for coffee. Also, the menu prices on their website are out of date. Overall, recommended for good food and an excellent view.“

“My favorite spot in the Bay Area for brunch and coffee! owners are super nice, and go the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience every time you walk in to their shop. In addition to the beautiful location, prices are convenient. They also offer healthy choices such as gluten free bread, and use quality ingredients. Highly recommend and will definitely be back !“

“A must-visit bakery in San Francisco! The croissants are perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft, elastic crumb inside. The cream puffs and canelés are definite must-adds to your shopping list.

The only downside? The coffee beans lack a bit of that rich aroma—otherwise, it would be a match made in heaven!“

“Simply outstanding! They have everything down right. Prompt friendly service, clean and comfortable seating, attention to detail, and most importantly, every bite of every thing is delicious. I can count on feeling 10x better after any visit here. Thanks so much to the team behind this operation 🙏🏻“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“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!“

“Great food and coffee, great friendly service, but I wonder how they make money, because every table is occupied by Gen-Z pseuds with their regulation kit - MacBook, Airpods, phone, eco-friendly water bottle - sitting for hours on end spending very little on little more than a cup of their obligatory matcha.“

“Sandwiches are fantastic! Generous portions of fresh ingredients made to order. Fully stocked pastry case with classic and specialty treats! Friendly staff, great vibe,, totally affordable menu. LOVE!“

“I’ve been coming here since middle school back in 2008, art is the best person. She has the best personality and hospitality. Her food and coffee is amazing. Would highly recommend coming here and support this local business. Also, can anyone tell me how she makes her egg for her egg cheese bagels?!?? I need to know the secret, they come out perfect every time!!!! 😭😭😭“

“🤯 Biscuits are better than Khanfectionary in the Mission. The jalapeño biscuit for the breakfast sandwich was delicious and comes with a nice arugula side salad.

🥚 We also had the huevos on crispy little tortillas. Very good, especially with the chipotle sauce on the side.

☕️ pour over coffe was also lovely

🥰 the owner stopped by our table to check on us and she is a delight. She spent about a decade in Berlin, Germany, and brings some international flair to the café menu, ambience, and playlist.

🤤 the everything biscuit, the apple pie biscuit, and the Matcha strawberry biscuit are also worth trying. I personally like the everything biscuit the best, but if you want something a bit more sweet go for the 🍎apple pie biscuit, and if you want a lot more sweet (think bear claw level sweet) then go for the Matcha strawberry option. You better grab a coffee with that one though ‘cause it is SWEET.

🛋️ the place has eclectic seating, with a couple of couches a few two top tables and a few four top tables. Great to pop in on your own, or with a few friends.“

“We hosted our wedding at Stable Cafe, and were delighted by the entire experience. They were responsive during the planning process, working with us at every step and accommodating our special requests. The food was amazing (we especially enjoyed the elote salad!) The courtyard easily accommodated our 42 guests. The atmosphere of the venue is very cozy, with lots of plants both indoors and outdoors.“

“I can’t recommend the Garden Cafe enough! I had a wonderful first experience here today having lunch. The food was delicious & nutritious- I got the Salmon Greek Salad (comes with garlic bread) and the “San Rafael Sunrise” drink, which is a juice including veggies and chia seeds. Lots of seating options indoors and outdoors with good lighting. Free wifi for those looking for a good study spot.
The service was AMAZING and contributed to creating such a friendly, inviting atmosphere. I have to give a special shout-out to Miguel, who was so gracious and apologetic about my juice being made wrong the first time. They were out of beets and I believe Miguel called someone and had more beets brought in while I was eating lunch so that I had a corrected juice with beets to enjoy before I finished eating! To be clear, I told Miguel it was completely fine that they were out of beets but he insisted it wasn’t fair to not get what I ordered and made sure I got my beet juice. I can vouch for how much the Garden Cafe values each customer there! I will be recommending to friends and coming back.“

“A real local spot near Union Square. Eric and his family have made a great place for grabbing breakfast, sandwiches, and coffee. Great prices, and many locals come here that you can meet and chat with. My goto place for lunch, morning coffee, and small bites to eat. Also, the Vietnamese sandwiches are the best I've had in the city.“

“San Francisco’s most hidden gem“

“The food was so amazing. Very cozy atmosphere. Nice little hole in the wall. I had the A5 avocado toast and my partner had the roast beef sandwich. Both were impeccable. Highly recommend. Definitely would come back again for breakfast. We also had the blended ice green tea matcha and mango passion smoothie“

“True gem! Super friendly chef and great (!) food for only $15. I wish I found this spot earlier, but it’s very hidden. It looks like a lobby coming in, but just follow the food scent.

The brownies are absolutely worth the calories!!“

“Even goed zoeken als je erheen loopt, maar eenmaal gevonden is het echt een heerlijke nog ‘geheime spot.’ Wat een ontzettend lekkere broodjes voor een goede prijs, heerlijk belegd. Echt genoten van de ‘Southwestern’ broodjes. Daarnaast ook hele vriendelijke gasten die er werken. Een cappucino met een broodje van Sutter is de beste start van je dag.“

“Highly recommend Best coffee in San Francisco ☕️“

“The Pork Store Café is a half block away from my pal Eyeball Joe's place so when I visit him we always get our food delivered, it comes hot and fast right from the kitchen. The last time we ate in the restaurant the order was mixed up with another table and he got someone else's order, so he popped his glass eyeball out and pressed it against the servers shoulder and said "I've got my eye on you...so you better watch it!" Ever since them he's got his food delivered. We had an Amazing porkchop dinner! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“The food was unnecessarily perfect in presentation. I had a lox and cream cheese sandwich with Kalamata olives. I also had an iced vanilla latte that was great.

If you’re doing the crosstown trail, this was an easy spot to rest and grab a bite.“

“Such gooooood food! Nourishment that feels indulgent.
I got the breakfast bowl today. Have had tamales before both times I’ve been super impressed.

Love the space and outside seating. This is a chill, comfortable space appropriate for small parties or singles.“

“I've been here a couple of times and it's soo good, I've had the Vietnamese iced coffee, iced Thai tea, and the BBQ pork Vietnamese sandwich. They were all great and I would definitely recommend them. There were also quite a few options for food and drinks, so I'm looking forward to going back and trying new things as everything has been good so far.“

“Love this place! Great people, great food, and great coffee. We come here every visit to SF“

“Second experience was much better I've gotten chicken curry twice and it was good. TY!
Updated rating to 4 stars.

First experience 0 stars - I want to start off by saying that the service and atmosphere is 5/5 stars.

But the food on the other hand was a diff story, I got the "one order chicken teriyaki plate white rice" it was a 2 star at best, If not 1.

Chicken had an alarming taste, I would describe it as "old" or "plastic" taste, as well as the look of it, dark spots, definitely not seem fresh.
The rice was slimy and also had a strange taste that I could only describe as "plastic" or something.
Super unenjoyable, idk if I got a bad plate because I do see people line up like crazy for this spot. Nonetheless this was my experience I'm just hoping I don't get sick.🤢“

“Love the chocolate flan, I get it every time I am here“

“I’ve been to a lot of cafes in the city & this is one of my favorites - great natural lighting, there’s usually always space, and delicious food. Definitely by far my favorite out of the neighboring cafes.

I highly recommend the croissaint bread pudding! The italian panini and chicken caesar wrap are great too :)

A solid option to knock out a couple hours of work too - there is free wifi, but the chairs are wooden & no outlets.“

“The waffle is a little bit too dry. The waffle fries need a little bit oil or something for the Furikake seasoning to stick.“

“Opa Cafe absolutely crushed it at the Alif Summit! They took care of everything from the gorgeous wooden serving trays to the perfectly curated halal meat and cheese boards. The fresh fruit in the morning was such a nice touch, and the evening sandwiches and salads were exactly what we needed after a long day. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and constantly restocked. So glad we had them, they even helped us at the end with bussing and trash - even though that wasn't part of our contract. full service!! and I’d bring them back in a heartbeat for future events!“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“Good food and excellent service! I highly recommend their coffee drinks. Also, the fresh squeezed OJ is such a treat. I am sure their non-brunch items are good but I am still obsessed with their breakfast items.“

“We stop Here every time we go through San Francisco. Their coffee is marvelous and the pastries we have tried are delicious. The atmosphere is definitely San Francisco neighborhood welcoming and the mural Inside reminds me of an Italian village. Don’t miss this stop.“

“Another incredible restaurant in San Francisco. The Mole here is one of the best we've ever had, full stop. The portions are immense, and I can say that this is full on "home cookin'". I also want to point out how patient and gracious the staff was with our questions, and our broken spanish. Breakfast here is really a treat!“

“Super cute little place. Lovely Gibraltar coffee, and an exceedingly buttery croissant. The egg + caprese combination is a bit radical, but that's the fusion haha. Also a really cute old space, has some real 1920s vibe.

Vegetarian options: There's a good selection of vegetarian options“

“This family run cafe is the best. Get the Bibimbap!! If you eat in they’ll even do it stone pot style.

Vegetarian options: Any of the tofu specialties or sandwiches.

Kid-friendliness: They are the best with my kid. I delivered next doors so they’ve known him since day 1.“

“I had the elephant chai and it was delicious service was good, the peace looked funky, pricing was ok Unfortunately it looked like there was maintenance or renovation work being done and I was there at an odd time, but generally it looks like it could be quite pillar and cool.“

“اكل حلال اسعار في متناول اليد تعامل قمة في الذوق“

“Super strong Americano lovely place sandwiches were good. More meat on pastrami would have been nice all in all look forward to returning“

“Cafe International is a welcoming cafe in Lower Haight. The delightful owner, Zahra, is inviting and warm. The food is as outstanding as the coffee, making it the perfect spot to checkout. Be sure to stay for the live music.“

“Cafe RX is an oasis in the Presidio. The food is fresh and delicious, the serving sizes are generous, the prices are reasonable and the staff are so friendly and kind. There’s plenty of seating inside and outdoors. Recommend ordering before noon or after 1pm to the avoid lunchtime rush. I highly recommend:
- drink: spicy chai
- lunch: nicoise salad
- breakfast: soy chorizo & eggs with toast“

“Divine!! This was a celebration of two birthdays and Jeremy took excellent care of us. He explained options, recommended items, was attentive and relaxed and quickly replaced the blinis and creme freche we ran out of. Highly recommend this sweet, exquisite spot.“

“Good and plentiful breakfast choices! Fresh OJ. Friendly service. Clean as you go.“

“Een klein zaakje achter het Hilton hotel. Ze accepteren alleen cash. Ze hebben heerlijke verschillende donuts en muffins voor een goede prijs. Daarnaast kun je belegde bagels krijgen die ze ter plekke vers maakt. Ze zijn heerlijk. Prijs tussen de 7 en 10 dollar, ligt eraan wat je voor beleg kiest.
De plek ligt net op de rand van waar veel daklozen verblijven waardoor de sfeer wat minder prettig aanvoelt. Maar de verkoopsters zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.“

“Its been a while since I have been here. Loved it before, still loving it now. Food was excellent! Enjoyed the tuna tartare and the shrimp&lobster risotto! Shared the special apple bread pudding with cream! Service was attentive and thoughtful! The space beautiful in its natural light. Would always recommend.“

“The service is fast and effective, and the food is delicious - as you can see from the long lines of people wanting to eat there. We are traveling from Norway and Louisiana, but always visit Honey Honey when we are in town 🌹🌹🌹“

“I love this cafe. Food delish and space relaxing to write in.“

“Easily the best breakfast we had during our trip to SF which is why we came twice. Portions are huge and flavourful. Definitely recommend the sausage with the breakfast.

Service is immaculate and fast. Don’t think the coffees I had ever reached the bottom of the mug.

Recommend coming here even if going out of your way.“

“I was encouraged by all the other reviews here to try Cafe Dolci, and I must say I was not disappointed! True to what other reviewers said, the food is delicious and very reasonably priced, the coffee is strong, and the service is warm and hospitable. There were even some free apples and apricots which were grown in the owner’s garden. I strongly recommend the bacon/egg/cheese sandwich on the English muffin! I will definitely be going back.“

“We enjoyed everything. The mimosas and food were on point!! Our waiter was so helpful and friendly. He made our visit awesome. Sorry, I didn't get his name (or forgot it after a few mimosas), but he was a friend by the end of our meal. I highly recommend a visit, and we will be back our next time in San Francisco!

Tip: Visit the bathroom if you are into IG pics!“

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