A staple Mill Valley place to visit. Seems very popular on the daily with locals and visitors alike. I’m not a big coffee-drinker but I’ve been several times and can attest to the great atmosphere and pretty good food/drink options. Food options include sandwiches, pastries, and sweet/savory waffles. Indoor and outdoor seating available. However, because it’s so busy, if you sit down to the left of the entrance (opposite side from the counter where orders are placed), it’ll be hard to hear your order called. At least my experience has been this way where I’m waiting a while for my order to be called, finally get tired of waiting, walk over to check in with staff, only to find that my order is sitting on the counter but I never heard it called.
I got the veggie frittata sandwich and enjoyed it but generally, the food is a bit pricey for the portion size in my opinion. The drink I got was fairly good I think but honestly, not very memorable/standout because I don’t really remember it.

Pretty good overall the only reason I’m giving four stars is because for their shaken espresso drinks the default milk is oat milk. And oat milk is so unhealthy. It is a glyphosate riddle seed oil liquid, and I think the default for any coffee drink should just be regular milk. I unsuspectingly ordered it and didn’t see in the description. It does say oat milk, so that’s on me for not seeing it, but I also Have not really seen any coffee drink where the default is oat milk. As someone who values their health and absolutely loves the equator uses Strauss organic milk I was upset and then I re-ordered the drink, and it’s typically customary if a customer gets their drink if they don’t like it, they make them a new one on the house. I’ve worked in the industry. This was at least the standard where I worked. But instead, the cashier knew that I was re-ordering the drink because I didn’t like it and still made me pay for it. I get it. The economy is rough, but having worked in the service industry I was a bit disheartened however, I’m still gonna go to equator coffee. I think they have great coffee. I just think the default milk should not be oat milk or it should be more obvious or the barista should ask: What milk do you want with that?

Pick up orders with in side and outside seating. The Habibi latte was good but could have used more cardamom. The blueberry sage cold brew did not taste like it had sage in it and was ok otherwise. The Fritata with prosciutto was ok, the banana almond butter sandwich was like a homemade one. Would get drinks again, but food was too mediocre.

Great atmosphere, good coffee but the only way to get a coffee within 15 mins is by ordering ahead. They should figure out a system that slightly prioritizes in person orders. I waited for my cappuccino for 20 mins as the only person in shop. Meanwhile 10+ pick up orders came out with only 2 people coming in to pick them up.

The cappuccino was good, the service was terrible. Barista took forever because he was far more interested in chatting with his friends than actually making drinks.

No bathroom! Good coffee but don’t expect a complete bio break here if you need while during a road trip. (Check out Old Mill Park down the street).

This location has a lot more food than other equator locations! Love the veggie frittata. I recommend ordering on the app in advance to skip the rush and get rewards points. The rewards add up pretty quick. Also great customer service. Just wish the seating was more comfortable.
Also there’s no outlets and no WiFi. But food and drinks and customer service is 10/10.

Most competent and friendly staff of any coffee shop I've come across from the manager on down to the baristas and cashiers. They handle a rush incredibly well. A home away from home.

Wish the app would have a notes section for preferences like no msyo
