“I had coffee this morning for the 1st time. The cafe has such a relaxing vibe to it! It was a nice group of patrons. The staff was very helpful. I've found my favorite coffee shop! 😋😋😋“

“Best coffee in san rafael IMO! Lenny is really nice and always has my order ready! Nice vibe and close to my work! Highly recommend!“

“We ordered the house milk tea with boba and the twilight taro with boba - both with less sugar and less ice. They were both delicious! Personally I preferred the milk tea - but I tend to like that more usually anyways. Parking was a little difficult but service was quick!“

“I am proud to recommend Mrs Craig Vanessa for a selfless and reliable investment service. I was constantly looking for a reliable platform to invest and my friend introduced me to her platform and I realized this is the best platform to invest on because she maintains discipline in her investment relationship and strategies to ensure the complete transparency and credibility of her investors. She helped me gained $16,000 with just a capital of $2,000. If you want to be financially successful invest with her ASAP via WhatsApp through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Great coffee great service most of the time. People working there need to learn to communicate and let customers know when they are backed up so when they make an order, they understand how long it will take instead of letting them know after the fact.“

“On our hunt to find “The Best Burgers” in the area on Google Map….Pretty close…We searched & found “Best Burgers”a great find for family-owned quick fresh to order homemade like burger. Lots of other menu options, full menu availableConvenience for time management & multi-tasking. Located in the Trader Joe’s parking lot @ Montecito PlazaWe had a super low battery on car, hungry & needed to go grocery shopping @ Trader Joe’s. Trifecta.We plugged into a ecar charger in front of the restaurant for Rockstar parking. We arrived hungry & left happy. We ordered a Cheeseburger combo with sweet potato fries. The place just had a huge crowd walk in before me, of at least 20 people. The cashier and orders with the kitchen were coordinated like a machine and no one waited for lunch.Thanks for Great Burger & service & Fries!

Parking: Not only a large parking lotElectric car vehicle charger & Trader Joe’s share the parking lot for convenience“

“Awesome coffee and a very comfortable space to sit and enjoy the coffee.“

“This is a great, quiet coffee shop with great quality drinks (especially the Thai coffees). The owner has amazingly sourced Thai beans and makes delicious Thai Teas and Coffees. My wife and I spent an hour or so here getting work done, listening to relaxing music.“

“The best broth I’ve ever ate in my life. The Beef Combo Pho is the one I would go for. Perfect balance of savory, umami and spices. It looks this place is family owned and they probably carry this receipt through generations you can tasty that. Service is good, and fast. A must in San Raphael.“

“Cute mom and pop Korean cafe. Feels like a very casual Korean mom meal. Nothing fancy, but definitely prepared with love. Prices very reasonable and all house-made. Good banchan and good texture on the multigrain rice. Healthy and legit. Very happy to see the owner is actually a Korean and not a Caucasian person making mid-fake Asian fast casual food lol. Will def come back and keep supporting this business!“

“After the first time, I can't stop myself from going back. As you know, San Rafael has wonderful coffee shops. I have not found a bad one this year. Now, The Peets' down by San Rafael High School has a student effect for Adults. I usually hit it about 7 p.m. Heading North of the Border. I need to be alert but, rested. I get that here, Good coffee, kick back chairs & free Wi-Fi to stay up to date. After the service I get, I like to tip...“

“I got a light roast blend from Graffeo. The espresso had a good texture to it, with subtle chocolate/nut flavors. No bitterness, but this was a light roast. The store is a bit underwhelming and could benefit from a make over. Also, I paid $23/pound beans, which is in my opinion a bit pricey. Overall 4 stars.“

“I have always loved the Gloria Jeans drinks in fact I used to work at the Ontario Mills Mall in Ontario California at Gloria Jeans there it was owned by Katie Chuck a very nice lady to work for but unfortunately she closed her business I miss working there that was back in 2002 -2006 4 years I had worked for her I still know how to make every drink we had back then cold and hot drinks speciality drinks which were the holiday drinks I remember the measurements to brew coffee ☕️ for the day when you work there for that long everything sticks with you but as for today I’m sure many things have changed as the years went by but I do still see some of the same coffee beans we had back then I wish we had one here in applevalley California we used to have one in the Victorville Mall years ago but that one has gone out of business as well years ago please ?? someone bring Gloria Jeans back to the High desert of California Applevalley California we need one here desperately I’m so sick of Starbucks they overroast their beans which gives the drinks a burnt taste of course they will deny it there is nothing like a Gloria Jeans coffee ☕️ hot or cold simply the best you can’t get any better then Gloria Jeans Coffee..❤️“

“When I went there, they had no lines and the churros were only $2.84 for 3 churros. They were very kind to me and quick to serve. I was craving for churros and started searching. Lo and behold, there is a churro restaurant just exclusively churros set aside sandwiches and smoothies but now I know there is a churro place when I am craving for churros

Parking: Good luck finding a place to park as their parking lot is a shared lot.“

“This place is the best and I hope they never close! I grew up in the area but now live out of the country and my family has relocated to the east bay but I still make the 60 min drive all the way to Jelly Donut whenever I come to visit them. The owners are super friendly and generous, often throwing in an extra freebie too. We've tried 4 other donut shops in the east bay and none are even close to as good as these. Long live Jelly Donut!“

“Clean. No trouble finding parking. I went to this location twice in one week. Both times it was not crowded. I'm sure they get rushes, but it was nice to be able to get in and out with ease. Walk in only. No drive thru. Standard Starbucks quality coffee. Nice location.“

“Loukas is the best - an integral part of the community . Without Kosmos - we would be left with Boring Corporate Coffee .“

“My favorite coffee! Discovered this at Hidden Kitchen, and had to know who roasted it. Their decaf is incredible as well, water processed, bold and delicious. Very well priced, makes great espresso as well. Highly recommend! Looks like another reviewer had a bad experience at one point. The few times I have emailed Palin they have been very responsive, maybe they have changed their ways for the better.“
