Very disappointing. I ordered four cookies at three dollars each. They were stale and just not as good as they used to be before Jane took over. I won't be returning.

A great add to Tiburon. Pleasant, family bakery feel, table seating, very nice little place. Got a cheesecake here that was really delicious and will go back for other baked goods for sure. Service is friendly and efficient, helpful - overall experience at Jane's was great! Endorse!

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.

I’ve been going to sweet things my entire life. So completely disappointed in the change. The quality of the baked goods and coffee is mediocre at best, prices have increased (understand this is how everything is going), service is bad, untrained staff who don’t have basic social skills, and they’ve gotten rid of all my favorite items that I looked forward to making a trip to this spot to enjoy.I have no idea why the choices were made to completely change the vibe, offerings and people but I will not be going to patronize any longer unless I hear they’ve repaired the damage. I know I am not alone, and see others that have made similar comments. You can’t ignore the community.

Grab your hats! Jane is in Marin! Jane, also of Fillmore acclaim, has taken over the space formerly used by Sweet Things. But Jane brings a whole new level of gastronomic delight with a very broad selection of whole loaf breads from their own artisan bakery, breakfast options galore, and other sweets for later in the day. Using Equator beans, a La Marzocco double group espresso machine, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, a skilled barista, your morning coffee will be the best it can be! For the shoppers among us, there are unique books, gifts, jams, and other sundries to keep for yourself or gift to those you love. There are a few tables inside to chat with friends and tables outside to soak in the Bay Area's best weather. Get up and dance! Over to Jane's. In Marin.

This place missed the mark. They clearly are priced to cater to the 94920 crowd. The area behind the counter was dirty. While waiting in line we saw one of the employees wipe the counter edge with a rag, then wipe the steam thing on the espresso maker, then wipe his hands, all with the same rag. That rag then went on to the espresso machine shelf. And then a lady walked in with her dog. Not a service dog, just her dog in her arms. Employees didn’t care. The abstract painting on the back wall is an interesting color scheme for a food establishment as it looks like smeared blood.The 6 inch Yule log was $42. At the quality and size of the Yule log and the amount they were selling, it was beyond over priced. Even $30 would have been over priced. It was covered in an inch of flavorless chocolate ganache. Not made to look like a typical Yule log at all, no resemblance to a “log” except for being slightly log shape. It was odd, there was zero chocolate flavor despite being a literal inch of ganache on all sides. The cake itself was also lacking any sort of flavor and on the dry side. The filling was I guess was a coffee whipped cream. The ganache needed to be at room temp to get a fork through it but the filling needed to be at fridge temp to hold up and prevent it from melting. It was also a shock to have the coffee flavor as when we asked about the Yule log, we were only told it was chocolate flavor. The only decor on the entire cake were 6 3mm “gold” stars that seemed to be purchased and then painted “gold” in the shop.

Once a premier bakery with excellent service this is now owned and run by Jane with her name on the products. Buying an Apple pie or Cherry pie used to be easy. Just walk in and they'd have them on the counter. But since the takeover I went and the person at the counter said "You have to call a day in advance". Inconvenient but next time I DID call the day before and was told I needed to order TWO days in advance. What is this all about? To save money by only selling pies baked to order so there is no loss from unsold pies? I'm sure bakeries run on slim margins but somehow Jane made an expensive remodel of the store. And after my poor experience wouldn't even bother to call me back. Congratulations Jane, yo just lost a regular customer.
For 30 years, Michelle Mason at Jane (formerly Sweet Things) has been making and decorating our families’ cakes for all occasions. They are always delicious, but Michelle’s artistry blows us away. In addition to being an incredible artist, Michelle has a unique talent for coming up with creative ideas.My husband and I share a birthday, and because he was turning 81 and me 75, I suggested she write, “Happy Birthday to Us.” Michelle asked me about our hobbies and interests and proceeded to create the cake in this photo, complete with logos of our favorite stores, pictures of our hobbies, names of family members, and the Buckeye, where we had the luncheon.Thank you, Michelle and all of the bakers at Jane, for giving cake- joy to our community!

I was excited to eat this double chocolate cookie after a bike ride until I struggled to bite into it. It was ROCK hard! I had to break it apart with my hands to not hurt my teeth. The flavor was fine, just very crumbly in the mouth.The restroom also is not available to customers.

I’ve been here a number of times. They don’t have Jane pastries until 8:45am, sometimes later, but the store opens at 8am.It’s confusing.Good pastries. Staff is nice and means well.

Store remodeled and expanded. Lost is coziness. Been there twice in the past two week. Both times saw people walk in looked around , and walked out without buying. A lady walks in to return pastries just purchased. . Say they were stale. Selection not nearly as nice as in the past. Will definitely not be returning after being a regular customers for many years.
