50 Best Cafes near Mill Valley

“Once again, I had a wonderful experience shopping at Sweetwater. Many thanks to Sales Engineer Mitch Dazey who did a great job. I'm glad that he was able to get a Korean made instrument. Competitive pricing, good discounts, excellent customer service, items thoroughly and carefully packed. I will definitively recommend anyone to shop at Sweetwater.“

“Such a great place! We had chicken pesto with avocado sandwich on sourdough and BBQ pulled pork sandwich, both fantastic! Incredibly friendly and welcoming place with our little one and dog-friendly patio seating including umbrellas. Right near the bay. Only open on weekdays and we already can’t wait to go back!“

“I absolutely love Muir Woods. So beautiful and peaceful. A trip to California must include a trip to this park.“

“Great facility and staff for hands-on culinary skills learning.“

“This place serves the best breakfast in san francisco for a great price.

Cash only or venmo so be prepared.

Bagels and croissants are both delicious. I havent had any drinks from here yet as I just make tea at home. Its really popular here though so I imagine their drinks are as good as the food.

Ive tried the asiago bagel with a Lil mayo, bacon egg and cheese as well as the croissant with sausage egg and cheese and hot sauce. Highly recommend the hot sauce here, it doesnt taste like a hot sauce ive had before. Its a little sweet and not too spicy or vinegary. I got one of each today for 11.75. I didnt know if I should tip via venmo, so I didnt, so ill bring extra cash next time.

Even if I didnt live as close as i do, id come here.

The only downside is there is no place to sit. Its intended to get your breakfast needs and scoot scoot.“

“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.?“

“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.“

“A great little spot for a quick breakfast to go. The food was tasty, and the quality exceeded our expectations. The prices are very reasonable, making it excellent value for money. It’s a small place with limited space, but perfect if you’re looking for a quick and satisfying breakfast. We’d definitely stop by again.“

“San Francisco’s most hidden gem“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“I absolutely loved the breakfast! Despite the simple interior, every dish was beautifully presented with the attention to detail you'd expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. The omelet and smoothies were fresh and delicious. I especially appreciated the European-style approach—clean, natural flavors without being overloaded with spices, heavy sauces, or grease. A wonderful place if you enjoy fresh, healthy, and beautifully prepared food. Highly recommended!“

“Good food, friendly service, and a comfortable space overall. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, the cookies, and the hot chai. I'm looking forward to going back again soon. 😊“

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

“Tried a lot of bánh mi spots in SF, and this is the best! Recommend their combo and chicken. Great quality, portions, and under $10. They take cash and card, plus you can call ahead to order. Just make sure to order earlier in the day because they sell out fast!“

“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.“

“forgot to take pics of the café itself but most of the café seating is out in the spacious patio that they with a couple of seating inside on the second floor (around 6 tables). We came on a weekday and was able to grab a seat without any issues but I heard they get pretty packed on the weekends so come early! keep in mind they don’t have WiFi so enjoy having ur conversations :)

we saw the broccoli grilled cheese on the menu without knowing that there would be kimchi in it and what a pleasant surprise this was- the baked broccolini paired so well with the slight acidity of the kimchi and the melted cheese was a cherry on top!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Perfect for breakfast and lunch. Love these pastries 😊“

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

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

“Great little find while touring the city! Had to stop by three times in two days. Fantastic sandwich’s and great pastries.“

“A real deal hidden gem!

I have been coming here for years and it has never disappointed in any way. Great tasting food, with high quality ingredients made with care, incredible friendly service, and very reasonable prices that can't be found in this part of the city at this quality level.

It may seem hard to find at first, but don't give up--this a treasure worth the effort and you'll be happy you did.“

“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.“

“Great spot for a delicious breakfast. Visiting from Florida, and wanted togi d a good local spot to start the day.
We especially enjoyed sitting at the bar and watching the mastery of the cook making the food!
Amber was amazing and made us want to come back again tomorrow.
Highly recommend!!“

“One of the cutest little cafes across from my hotel. Very nice staff. I love how they welcome you in and offer suggestions. They’re kind, smiling and it makes me feel welcome. I got the egg and cheese with avocado on a croissant. Coffee and a chocolate muffin. Everything was delicious! I’m so happy I tried them and they’re def my go-to for the remainder of my stay.“

“The matcha here is so wonderfully prepared—it’s strong without being overpowering. I get the matcha latte with matcha foam and I recommend getting 25% sweetness. The staff is always so kind and attentive as well! 10/10 recommend.“

“Came here for brunch on a Sunday. The place is fairly small so there was a bit of a wait to get seats. The menu read my mind! I was torn between the Hugo street retreat and the breakfast bowl dishes but there was thankfully a “best of both worlds” dish that had bits of both. So that’s what I went with. It was a a pretty good and filling brunch with a nice cold beer to wash everything down.“

“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.“

“Delicious and fresh almond crescent and Tasty latte, very enjoyable!“

“Best selection of non alcoholic drinks out there“

“Great little shop, closest thing I’ve had to a NYC bodega sandwich since movie west. Fantastic smoothies, bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, and coffee. Prices are far more reasonable than most places within the bay and the staff are awesome“

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

“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.“

“Had a great dinner date with my wife after a long day walking at the zoo and land's end. Service was great, very attentive from the young lady. Pizza was totally shareable. Caesar salad had excellent flavor. Get the tiramisu. It's so good. We would definitely come here again. The interior was a little warm for me, but it was fine.“

“Love the cozy atmosphere here.“

“May 31, 2026- Sunday.

I visited Junbi SF for the first time after hearing about it on YouTube and was excited to finally give it a try. I ordered the Cold Mango Matcha Latte, but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. The drink tasted overwhelmingly milky, to the point where the matcha flavor was barely noticeable. I was also expecting a stronger mango presence, but it seemed very subtle and got lost behind the milk. For a specialty drink priced around $7, I was hoping for a more balanced and flavorful experience.

That said, I want to recognize the exceptional customer service I received after sharing my feedback. The owner personally reached out, took the time to explain the drink, listened to my concerns, and genuinely wanted to understand my experience. It's rare to see a business respond so thoughtfully and professionally to customer feedback.

While the drink itself wasn't for me, the way my concerns were handled left a very positive impression. Excellent customer service goes a long way, and Junbi SF absolutely delivered in that regard. Because of that experience, I would be willing to give Junbi another try in the future when I'm back in San Francisco.

Thank you to the team for taking customer feedback seriously and for making the effort to make things right.~“

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

“Hidden Gem Energy on Clement!

I randomly discovered this charming little café at 3117 Clement St—and WOW, what a find. This place is the definition of quaint meets character. The moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in a warm, rustic vibe that feels effortlessly cozy—like a secret neighborhood escape you almost want to keep to yourself.

The owner? Absolute gem. So friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive—you can feel the heart behind the space, which makes the whole experience even more special.

Now let’s talk food—the sandwiches are SO delicious (fresh, flavorful, and satisfying), and the coffee is on point. Everything just hits right.

What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere—it’s incredibly comfortable and versatile. Whether you’re looking to study, read, take meetings, or just vibe out, this spot delivers. It has that rare balance of calm energy and character.

Highly recommend. A true Clement Street treasure. I’ll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“What a fantastic team of pros at Angelina’s! We had a last minute luncheon today and had to order eight sandwiches and salads, and our online order was ready in 15 minutes. Everything was delicious! The sandwiches are always copious and well-made, and the staff is friendly. We’re neighbors and eat there often and we highly recommend stopping in. Thanks to the Angelina’s crew! ☀“

“A wonderful cafe. I did not taste the food, but the drinks are very delicious“

“Came here around 9:30am from coffee. This coffee shop is in the lobby of an office building. Pretty easy to find and the staffs were very friends. The pastries looked good but we didn't get any since it is later in the morning. I ordered a Latte, 12oz. I was originally going to order their 16oz latte but the barista told me that it's a quad shot, nevermind. Good latte, not bitter, darker roast, no complains. Will definately come back again.“

“Manitas is just around the corner from me. Not usually into Mexican food, but the huevos rancheros was actually really good. Tacos were decent too, and the horchata is sooo refreshing.“

“Great Service! Great for kids!“

“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🥰!“

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