I come here at least once a week on a bike ride and I have a wonderful time without fail. Sit and look at the water, talk to the man behind the counter. He always has a fun quip to start the day. There is a bathroom in the back. It feels really old fashioned and legit. Love this spot. The same guy is working there every time I go and he always has a smile on his face. Dog friendly and biker friendly. Just got blueberry banana bread for the first time today and while my bike home was a bit slower, it was worth it.

Local bakeries are my weakness, so I had to stop by this spot after seeing their giant pastries and…read morecookies. The location is beautiful right by the water and has such a cozy, homey feel. I ordered the giant cinnamon roll and a large oatmeal cookie to take on the road. Unfortunately, neither lived up to my expectations. The cinnamon roll was more like plain bread with very little cinnamon flavor or frosting, and the oatmeal cookie tasted more like flour than oats or spices. As an SF native who's tried a lot of great bakeries, this one just didn't stand out. I really wanted to love it because the setting is so relaxing and beautiful, but the baked goods fell short for me.

I was excited to come across a new coffee shop to try. The coffee and atmosphere were solid, and…read moreeven late morning on a weekday it was pretty packed. Don't assume you'll grab a place to sit, especially if you're visiting peak hours. The toast was good, but at $9 I expected something more memorable, so I'd skip that next time. I also overheard an issue at the register where a customer was told their ham croissant was no longer available because it had been given to someone else after they'd already ordered it. The staff offered to substitute something else but couldn't process a refund, and there weren't many other options. I would have been so disappointed if that were me! Overall, it was a decent experience, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

If I was a local, Sausalito Equator would be my designated caffeine spot. The service here is…read moreamazing - friendly, approachable, having conversations as if we were familiar. The vibe is chill, no false pretense airs - down to earth, welcoming you in to stay for a while. The coffee is spectacular with selections of flavor options true to their description including The Habibi Latte ($6.25) the Caramelized Banana Latte ($6.50) and the Strawberry Salted Honey Latte ($6.75). On my first visit, I ordered online for store pickup, The Habibi Latte ($6.25) 16 oz ($0.50) with Ghost Town Oat Milk ($0.25), Tigerwalk espresso ($0), double shot (default) in a disposable cup ($0.25). This latte has flavors of orange blossom, cardamom, clove and vanilla syrup. The Habibi Latte was velvety with the flavors of spice and a hint of orange lingering on the tongue. The milk was steamed perfectly, ready to sip and enjoy at the perfect temp. On my second, I ordered at the cafe counter then walked over to the coffee house to pick up my order. The young man at the counter had a beautiful aura, very friendly and engaging - I was grateful the online ordering was not accepting orders, otherwise I would had missed out on this experience. My order this round was the Caramelized Banana Latte ($6.50) 16oz ($0.50) with Ghost Town Oat Milk ($0.25), Mexico Pluma Oaxaca espresso ($0.50), Extra single shot ($1.25) with the default double shot in a disposable cup ($0.25). The profile is house made banana spice syrup. It reminds me of a banana foster, delicate with a pronounced balanced flavor. The drink is creamy, with a Caramelized banana flavor lingering on the tongue - so satisfying. The banana is far from overpowering, complimenting the caramel notes. I purchased a couple bags of beans, hoping to relive the essence of Sausalito Equator coffee at home.

I thought caramelized banana latte sounded interesting. So I selected that on the app, noticed it charged for a disposable cup and charges more for the 16oz size. My friend's order and mine were ready for pickup up. My friend told me the pickup times were in increments of 15minutes. But we got there before the time she had to select and it was already on the counter ready for pickup along with other mobile orders. As I drank it in the car, it tasted like a normal latte. It was only towards the end, did I subtly taste a caramelized banana flavor. Not sure if I would come back.

Parking was easy to find, which is always a win in Sausalito. There were seats available inside, but we chose to sit outside since we had our dogs with us. The patio was comfortable, and the service was quick and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. The breakfast menu has plenty of healthy options alongside all the traditional diner favorites like pancakes and egg scrambles. I ordered the corned beef hash, and my mom went with Fred's Sweet Bacon. Our food came out hot, my over-easy eggs were cooked perfectly, and my mom absolutely loved the bacon--it had the perfect mix of sweet and slightly spicy. Overall, what a great spot for breakfast. We'll definitely be back!

They also had some tables outside, but it was too cold for me. I ordered a hot banana caramelized latte, which was so amazing. It really hit the spot.

Didn't really have to wait too long which was kind of nice since I had a reservation at john muir.

This is my favorite equator location. Not for people watching (go to their Miller Ave location for…read morethat), & not because the drinks are somehow better here or anything; Equator drinks are consistent throughout all of their locations. It's THIS particular location... On CA-1 in Mill Valley, it's so conveniently on the way to downtown Mill Valley, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes...etc, etc. But regardless of where you're going, stopping in here feels like you're on vacation. Beach/ocean/surf culture. The vibe is a thousand percent beach hut/surf shop, even with no actual beach in sight. How charming is that? Somehow browsing surfboards, even when you don't surf, assuages that unfulfilled dream, or fuels your standing wanderlust. Did you know that Thomas Keller serves Equator coffee at all of his properties? They partnered up 25 years ago, & equator even does special blends at certain TK restaurants. Even though Equator is available at grocery stores now, you should still come here. 5 star coffee in another 5 star location

We were going into the city to explore and stopped in Sausalito to catch the ferry…read more We had missed the one we intended to take, so we walked around a bit and decided to try out Taste of Rome for brunch. It is a cute little deli/bakery/restaurant. They gave us a menu and we sat down, but we ended up ordering at the counter. My girlfriend ordered the Fiorentina - Egg White with Spinach, Mushroom & Garlic and I got the Piemontese - Spicy Ground Beef, Mushroom, Spinach & Gorgonzola Cheese. We both throughly enjoyed our meals! The ground beef was not spicy at all though. We were hoping we had left room for a sweet treat, but we were stuffed!! I don't know if I'll make the special trip out here again, but if we are around, we might come again to try a sweet treat!

I'm really disappointed with my recent experience ordering from this restaurant through Grubhub…read more I understand that Grubhub handles delivery logistics, but it's still the restaurant's responsibility to communicate with customers when there are issues. I was left waiting about 45 minutes with no update--no notice of a delay, no mention that there might not be a driver available, nothing. What made it worse was calling the restaurant for help. The response I received felt dismissive, and I was simply told the order was canceled. There was no effort to assist or provide any explanation. Yes, I received a refund, but that's not the point. Good customer service is about communication and respect for your customers' time. A quick update could have made a big difference. I hope the restaurant improves how they handle situations like this and works more closely with Grubhub to keep customers informed.

We sat outside on the patio, it did get a little roasty toasty under the sun but it was nice being able to see the water and the city. The service was a tiny bit slow, but overall fast, considering that the place was packed to the room with reservations and walk-ins. The servers were really cute and accommodating for everything, and the food was spectacular. I'm not a huge fan of oysters ( or at least I thought I wasnt) but this definitely changed my mind. It's super fresh, the sauce is pair really well, and the whole vid a good ambulance for me to get back into oysters. If you get a chance, grab the coconut ceviche for a little twist on a classic ceviche... There are slices of coconut and slices of fish with mangoes and tomatoes, which was so tasty. The crab tacos were a whole other deal as well since it wasn't on tortilla, but rather a rice paper kind of wrapping. Super fresh crab, and very juicy and creamy. BEWARE parking is terrible, it's usually crazy packed, and there's a lot of other restaurants and bars around the area which also add to the density. I would recommend this area for adults - couples, friends, older family members. I probably wouldn't recommend this for kids since it's a bit more busy but classy. There's lots of other spots down the street or in Sausalito. That's a bit more accommodating for all ages.

You can try different flavors do decide what you want like any other ice cream parlor. There is some cozy table seating inside and benches right outside as well. I recommend trying the more unique flavors that you don't see as often at other places, such as Nuku Hiva or other Hawaiian based flavors. I loved that the coconut pineapple base had pineapple & coconut fibers in it, so you know fresh fruit is used. This is likely the best ice cream in the area!
