40 Best Salad Restaurants near Mill Valley

“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.“

“Good value and beers on tap.“

“This place is expensive, 10.00 for a 4 inch sandwich, but it's totally worth it! I got the BBQ brisket sandwich and YUM! The only downer is that the guy at the counter is hard to understand, which happens, but the look of disappointment he gave to anyone who didn't tip was not cool. I never tip the first time I go there. After the first time, if it's eat in, I tip, but carryout is a no.“

“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.“

“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“first try today and totally pleased!“

“I ordered the pork belly bánh mì, and it was so good! The pork belly had great flavor, and the amount of sauce was perfect. The bun was crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside, and the combination of flavors and spice made it really enjoyable. Definitely one of the best bánh mì I’ve had“

“This was a really very good place. The pizzettas were fresh and made with high quality ingredients. We tried the hazelnut pizza and it was very delicious and interesting. They also offer homemade sausages, and the salads were creative and something different. The service was great. The place itself is quite tiny and small, but cozy.“

“This place never disappoints! So good“

“Really clean, cute space. Staff is amazing. Hard to find a true local and well run place to eat. Prices are fine, clearly not cheap but the food and experience reflects it. Food was amazing. Literally best quiche I’ve ever had. It was perfect and plenty. Will be back with a date. Perfect spot for this. Lively, interesting but not loud and obnoxious.“

“RT Rotisserie absolutely delivered. I had the half chicken and it was perfectly roasted and super juicy on the inside with beautifully crispy skin. The flavors were simple but executed flawlessly. And the chipotle yogurt sauce? Next level. Creamy, smoky, with just the right kick of heat and it elevated every single bite. This is comfort food done right, and I’m already looking forward to coming back.“

“From the second we approached the door to enter Local Roots we could feel the positive energy. Very clean very welcoming very nice atmosphere. The menu is amazing and has so many wonderful choices. When talking to Lauren the owner, we were inspired by her vision and passion to provide the best of the best ingredients from all locally grown farms and resources. She is dedicated to support the local businesses and economy. Our salads and soups were delicious! I highly recommend Local Roots. We will be back over and over again. Thank you Lauren and thank you to your awesome team for providing great service.“

“Great place to visit sit and relax the sandwich and wine was fantastic and a perfect meal. The crew were very nice people. I highly recommend“

“Love the potato lovers salad, which has some addictive spiced potato puree inside. The ingredients are very fresh and they use a very high quality feta cheese (not too heavy”sheepy”). Be sure to double check larger orders. They sometimes forget stuff!“

“Park at Whole Foods and get your parking validated“

“Quality is key with any meal. Roger-San is all about quality. Sit at the bar if you can!“

“Cacio e Pepe pizza was fantastic. so glad I went out of my comfort zone and tried it. Their pepperoni pizza was also awesome. This is no average pizza restaurant, this is a must place for pizza when in San Francisco! Cannot wait until I can get back and dine there again!! Cannot say enough about the quality of their pizza....“

“Ajummas hard at work at this casual Korean restaurant and we can taste it in their food. Great portions, no frills banchans, tasty selection of menu items. Definitely my go to place when I don't fee like cooking💯 맛있습니다 근처 한x관보다 몇배는 더 맛있어요.“

“Amazing sandwich for lunchtime, the pasta salad and prepped deli items were incredible and fresh made. This was a great find when we needed to grab a sandwich and head to the beach for the day. They also have a great fresh meat selection if you’re picking up items to take home and cook, plus a selection of Italian pastas, cookies, chips, etc. The staff are so kind and welcoming, and a small local business. If I lived in this neighborhood, I’d be here all the time!“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“Total hidden gem in SF. It’s low key and does take out only, but don’t let that fool you, this place rivals SF’s finest establishments. I moved in a few blocks down the street and have been ordering take out almost every day as I unpack. I’ve tried the chicken hummus plate, meatball and rice plate, and the Beyran Soup. Literally each dish was 5/5 amazing. The soup was the best soup I’ve ever had in my life. Super rich flavor, but not overly salty. Just right. Honestly these folks should turn into a full fledged restaurant.“

“The salads here are amazing! I have been here several times and tried different salad each time. No matter what I get, it always tastes fresh and the portion is generous. I highly recommend this place if you want a healthy and delicious meal!“

“I really enjoyed the falafel bowl, ingredients were very fresh, flavor and texture were great, portion was substantial - I had it as a big late lunch but it probably would be sufficient as most of a dinner. I ate in at lunch and it was not busy at all. It was also more affordable than I remember mixt being a few years ago which was a nice surprise. Great spot for a big fresh salad made to order!“

“Proper Food totally nailed their Chinese Chicken Salad. The crisp romaine and sweet navel oranges were super fresh, and I loved the crunch from the savory almonds and crispy wontons. Loved discovering this with MealPal—will definitely order again!“

“Had a great experience at this location! We were visiting San Francisco for the day and was looking for a healthier meal. The other Mixt locations around where we were closed early but this location was open until 9pm which was great. Lots of great choices. We had one of their menu salads, one menu sandwich, and a build your own salad. All were great! Service was friendly and great as well.“

“I ordered a mango smoothie, which was very good. They have a good menu with many choices for breakfast and lunch. They have outside seating and are conveniently located. The service was friendly with a big smile. I am a local and will definitely return.“

“We found this deli by luck! We decided on the Hayes Street Veggie Sandwich and were completely star struck! The Sandwich was delicious, the store was kitschy and warm, and the owner was sweet and talkative without being overbearing. Highly recommend this San Francisco icon.“

“My daughter loves this place. From her: This place is beautiful and homey, I’ve been coming here for the last 3 years on my birthday! Staff are great, the food is super tasty 🤩🤩🤩🤩😝. I suggest coming here, super cute and layed back. There are many delicious items on the menu!“

“Amazing Sandwich’s! Friendly crew! Great prices!“

“THANK YOU! I have ordered late night from the Melt and received a ridiculous Cobb salad. Paid a ton of money and they left out all chicken, bacon or onion and I swear put in someone's old grilled cheese as croutons. So I tried Mixt. Boiled chicken instead of crispy and no cucs. Then I ordered from here and you restored my faith. Seriously thank you. Exactly what I ordered. It was delicious as well. THANK YOU! Just wanted a salad that I ordered and finally got it“

“Everything was amazing. Couldn’t decide on what to get, so had a lot of left overs. Cured salmon and pork belly were our favorites.“

“Good customer service and recommend it to people !“

“Super yummy! Fresh and 😋. Right across the street from the Big Bus stop in Haight - hop off and give it a try!“

“Great food and service, I would like to explore more from the menu“
