Great pies, certain staff very uptight and old lady charged me a pastry but never actually gave it to me. Again, good stuff but not worth the hassle or outright disrespect

Downhill slide from Sweet Things. I heard they received many of the same recipes when the bakery was turned over but all the love is gone. So disappointing. Dry bakery goods, unappealing layout and unenthusiastic staff. Sad. Hope it’s replaced with someone who has a bit more motivation.

Workers and management were beyond uptight, along with the local marin residents. Pastries overpriced and dry. I was disappointed.

Great, friendly neighborhood Bakery/Cafe. We wouldn't get our family's Birthday cakes anywhere else!

Came in here to get something sweet on my way home … I was the next person to be serviced and an additional employee, older woman, came out and asked the person behind me what they needed and began to help them totally ignoring me. As a black person patronizing your business it shouldn’t matter what color my skin is. I should be treated with the same respect as everyone else. I decided to not engage in NEGATIVE behavior and simply noted to myself that I would not return 🤬

Stopped by near the end of the day. Some of the tables were clean. The service seemed stiff. Still tipped because everyone is doing their best. Cookie was very hard, almost but not quite stale (confusing because some reviews say they run out of some pastries frequently). Pound cake was nice. Bread was hearty but poorly wrapped. A little short on value for the cost.

I bought 2 cupcakes today, a vanilla with chocolate frosting and a carrot with the usual frosting. Both were stale and hard as a rock. I'd heard about their place in the city and was told it was great. This was my first time in there and unfortunately, my last.

I was happy to get a beautiful loaf bread along with these very addictive light and airy shortbread cookies.
Disappointing. Consistently “run” out of pastries by 9am (opens at 8) or they don’t receive their delivery. Again today—Sunday 7/14. 8:30am- no pastries! Did not receive delivery. Usually spend $30+. Today nothing to buy.

Ideally, I'd give Jane/Marin a 3.5/5.
Jane/Marin offers a convenient location for a coffee and pastry break. Nestled in a strip mall with various stores, Jane/Marin provides a casual atmosphere for a quick bite. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a plus.
The bakery itself is quite colorful and cheerful. The flower pots outside and the bright green chairs create a vibrant first impression. Inside, the wall art explodes with shades of yellow, orange, and red. However, a minor quirk – finding the restroom can be a bit of a challenge. They don't have a dedicated public restroom, but the staff will kindly point you towards one in the back office if you ask.
Jane/Marin offers a classic selection of bakery treats – biscuits, cupcakes, croissants, muffins, breads - you name it. They also have a full coffee and tea menu. My friend tried their turmeric latte and a sweet treat (the name escapes me). Unfortunately, the pastry was quite hard and needed reheating, and he wasn't a huge fan of the flavor either. His turmeric latte also seemed light on the turmeric, tasting more like steamed milk.
On the other hand, my experience was much better. I ordered a chai latte and their banana bread. The staff was very friendly and readily warmed up the banana bread for me. It was absolutely delicious – light, delicate, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. I should have grabbed a slice to go! My chai latte was good, with a nice chai flavor that wasn't overpowering. However, it did have a lot of froth, which can be a bit much for some.
Overall, Jane/Marin offers a decent selection of coffee and pastries in a cheerful setting. The staff is friendly, and the banana bread is a must-try. However, there's room for improvement with some menu items, and the lack of a dedicated restroom can be a bit inconvenient. If you're in the area and looking for a casual coffee break, it's worth a visit, but keep your expectations in check.

The quality of the baked goods and coffee has completely plummeted since it was Sweet Things. Coffee bland, pastries bland. The decision to discontinue things that were widely loved and bought on a daily basis, seems like a very foolish business decision, maybe driven by stubborn ego. Sad, hope this turns around.
