Red Whale Coffee in San Rafael is a must-visit for coffee lovers. Their lattes are as good as those from Blue Bottle and Equator, and the cold brew is carefully made using a wall of glass equipment. The space is thoughtfully designed, featuring a room dedicated to coffee paraphernalia and a lounge area with a record player and vintage pinball machines. Regular customers often greet each other, creating a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The staff is always welcoming and provides quick service, making it a great place for first-time visitors. While service can sometimes be a bit slow due to chatty regulars, the coffee is always worth the wait. Guests can enjoy their coffee with pastries from the nearby Redwood Cafe, including gluten-free options like coffee cake and a chocolate tort. The iced mochas and the maple latte with oat milk are standouts, with flavors that delight. There are also treats like parfaits. The cozy environment, with video games and a lounge, makes Red Whale Coffee a fun spot to enjoy a tasty beverage. Located near the freeway, it’s easy to find, even with another similar coffee shop nearby. Overall, Red Whale Coffee offers a unique, quality experience that keeps customers coming back for more.
