Been coming to marvins for 30 years. Will never be back! They shoved my pregnant wife and 3 year old into a corner seat saying they would move us to a 4 top as soon as one opened up. As soon as one opened up, they must've changed their mind somewhere along the way. Instead of giving us the table as the woman told us, they sat down another group of 3 who they claimed had been waiting 20 mins...if they were waiting 20 mins and we hadn't even placed our order yet, that speaks more towards your terrible customer service than anything. Happy we walked out. Had a lovely breakfast just down the street. Don't tell your patrons one thing and then change your mind when it gets busy. You just lost a loyal customer... regardless past 2 times I've gotten sick or I've gotten cold food eating here. They've gone downhill. Yuck. Gross food. Gross people.

The food is delicious and tasty, there isn't a single thing served that is bland or without thought in the plate. The potatoes are yummy, and the omelets are stuffed and so flavorful.
We had the Marvin scrabble, California Benedict, Corned beef Benedict.

The best breakfast place in Novato, and possibly in all of Marin. Cinnamon walnut French toast combo is my go to, but every item is always great.

The most delicious cornbeef, hash, an egg, and the best pancake I’ve had in a long, long time!

I know folks in Novato love this place. I don't feel the same way. I went because my sister visited from the City & she likes the place. She specifically likes the waffle. This time the waffle was undercooked, raw inside. The service was awful because the place is so busy & also because the workers don't seem to work well together. Their coffee is awful. The best thing was the bus boy who tried very hard to do what he could while

I came to Marvin’s Breakfast Club with a friend for breakfast. The atmosphere was nice, and the food overall was good. I had pancakes and my friend had waffles with eggs. Everything was cooked well, and the portions were fair.
The biggest letdown for me was the syrup. It tasted watery and bland, which really took away from the experience. For a breakfast spot, especially one that serves pancakes and waffles, I expected better. A richer, more flavorful syrup (or even options) would make a big difference.
It’s the little details like that that matter, especially when pancakes are on the menu. I’d consider coming back, but I really hope they improve the syrup!
Super good food, fast friendly service, cozy fun place!

We visited on a Friday morning for brunch with our young kids. Despite it being a weekday, the place was quite lively. We ordered French toast, vegetarian benedicts, and waffles with fruit—everything was delicious and of great quality. The staff was friendly and attentive. There are two seating options, and we chose to sit outside. The spot has a charming, rustic, and old-world vibe. We would definitely return.

Highly recommended cafe if you're heading north from San Francisco. Great position on a tree lined street, super warm and friendly staff with great food.
