“What a great place, a hidden jewel in the city! Fresh fish, fresh chips and guacamole… Everything was perfect! DELICIOUS❣️ We will return…“

“I had a great experience at Angela’s Ice Cream. Their service really stood out—they happily let customers try different flavors before deciding, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The ice cream was some of the best I’ve had, and our server was especially friendly and welcoming. Her warm attitude made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“A beautiful place. I was a little put off when I asked the guy at the bar what his current favorite beers were and he didn't have any. Must have caught him on a bad day/moment. What I ended up drinking was very good. Food was excellent and our server was a sweet guy. An excellent place to spend the afternoon with friends.“

“Had a fabulous solo dining experience at Buckeye. Black cod on English pea risotto. 😋“

“Huge shout out to Juice GIrl for supporting me last week during my spring cleanse. thank you for your high quality products and attention to detail !!! good jobbers!“

“Good atmosphere Great food and service“

“visiting from Portland and trying to dine local. This place was clean, prompt service and the food was so fresh and delicious. Looks like a place lots of locals come, always good. Good dog watching.“

“Ordered a seeded levain bread to go, a lemon scone and the blueberry maple syrup muffin. Perfectly ready early and was notified which was great. The muffin and scone were excellent…tasty! The bread, which is a tad pricey (12.50) was overdone on the bottom so unfortunately the overpowering taste was burnt. Decided to salvage the excellent bread by cutting off the burned bottom! I have not experienced this at other fine, artisan bakeries in the area. May have to try the epi!“

“Love the place.“

“food is top notch and the bar always manages to overcome being buried!!“

“While not an expert I grew up in Detroit eating gyros as often as hamburgers. Hands down the best gyro I have had in ages. Warm soft pita, crisp fresh veggies, great house made sauce and really tasty gyro meat. And always friendly service from the owner. Small seating area so may need to plan to do take out versus eat in.“

“Nice location, excellent staff!“

“Fabulous meal. We were greeted kindly. Staff very attentive. Menu selection was plentiful, both breakfast and lunch. My husband ordered their special hot stone pot with chicken mango. 5 star presentation and so yummy. I had the Hemingway Benny. Again, presentation and taste were 5 star! Portions were more than generous. Highly recommend!“

“The pizza is crunchy, bubbly, yummy, and perfectly cooked. We had a summer fave on a fall night, and almost finished it all. It's so pretty it feels like a pizza bar by the beach.

Excited to come back to try others and come back for live music“

“Watershed Chef Kyle Swain is the best in Mill Valley!“

“Started with a pomegranate gimlet! Best Brussels sprouts ever! Beet salad, Dipsea pizza to die for. Yum. Great service-very personable-attentive-engaging. Food arrived in a timely manner and priced just right.“

“Great Value, Great Breakfast, No Sticker Shock

Shelter Bay Cafe is one of those rare Mill Valley spots where the food is good and the prices still make sense — especially for breakfast and coffee.

The breakfast menu is the real standout. You can get:

Egg, bacon & toast for $9

Eggs, bacon & hash browns for $11

English muffin breakfast sandwich for $8

Those are real, filling breakfasts at prices that feel almost nostalgic. Even the more dressed-up items stay reasonable — avocado toast at $14, breakfast sandwiches mostly in the $12–$15 range, and a solid breakfast burrito for $14. No “artisan surcharge,” no nonsense.

The coffee is good and sensibly priced — refreshingly not one of those places where the coffee costs more than the food. Lunch keeps the same fair-value approach, with sandwiches generally $14–$16 and an $8 grilled cheese that actually feels like a deal.

Add friendly owners, relaxed outdoor seating by the bay, and a genuinely local, unpretentious vibe, and this place becomes a dependable go-to. Not hypey, not precious — just good food, fair prices, and a place you’ll happily come back to.“

“la comida es deliciosa, tienen muy buenos precios y el lugar es espectacular......los baños están súper limpios y decorados ..... la gente del servicio es muy amable, realmente lo recomiendo !!“

“Good value and beers on tap.“

“Been here many times. I prefer this place much more than the other Japanese spots in Mill Valley. I lived in Hawaii for 10 years and have a high standard for Japanese food. They offer more options and everything I've ordered here is delicious. Will continue to come here. Their wine and sake selection is much better as well.“

“I had the Hot Mediterranean Bowl at Mixt in Mill Valley, and it was outstanding. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the portion was generous, and the flavor was amazing. It felt like a super healthy meal that left me satisfied without any guilt afterward. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a clean, delicious option that doesn’t compromise on taste.“
