Clearly this water front cafe is a favorite spot for the locals that appreciate good food that doesn't caters to the Bay Area tourists. They serve breakfast and lunch all day so you should not have an issue answering your cravings when you dine here. The place is small so certain times of the day you might have to wait to be seated. The staff was great and they can get you a coffee or juice order while you're waiting. read more

We never would have found this out if the way diner if friends hadn't brought us here. A great looking extensive menu with lovely fresh ingredients. I had salmon, eggs c onions and cream cheese. It was delicious and a good sized portion. They make substitutions easily so I had fruit instead of potatoes and toast. Can't wait to go back and delve into the menu. read more

This place exceeded my expectations! I was thinking a solid 4 star (which is still good), but this place was an easy 5. Meaning I'll definitely be back!!! First things first, breakfast is served all day. Hallelujah for you and all the customers! The service was great, food came out fast and it was a fun location. Overall food ratings: New years special (huevos rancheros with shrimp) - 5/5 Banana pancakes - 5/5 Fruity tooty - 5/5 (note that there is a bit of tart with the cranberry French toast - 5/5 Bacon - 5/5 Scrambled eggs - 4/5 (good but scrambled eggs are never anything wildly special) The portions are very generous! Banana pancakes were best imo. Will be coming back for those. Top 3 banana pancakes of my life. The inside was festive for the holidays and everyone was cheery. Fun to walk around the Marina area after too. read more

I came here twice while visiting the area. The food is delicious and I loved the fresh squeezed juice menu, too. The staff is very friendly and takes excellent care of you. I would definitely recommend! I enjoyed pancakes on my first visit and French toast the next day. They have seating overlooking the water for a view! read more

We went here on a Saturday around 2:20pm for lunch and there was no wait! We were quickly seated and they gave us our menus. We ordered the Crunch! and the Ultimate Club with Potato Salad. The Crunch! item is basically like a plate of nachos, but in a breakfast style, which I thought was cool. I've never had breakfast nachos before, but it was still a good combo of toppings. The Ultimate Club sandwich was also very good and I liked how much meat it had with the bread being perfectly toasted. For the Ultimate Club item I got, it came with a side of your choice and I chose Potato Salad. I wasn't a huge fan of the Potato Salad since I felt it was a little too mushy for my liking. I'd recommend this place! All of the main entrees tasted good, but I would avoid the potato salad. Maybe stick with one of their fries or mashed potatoes if your meal comes with a side. read more

This is my "go to" place whenever I'm in Mill Valley. The food is terrific and the waitstaff is the best.

Locally owned friendly deli with daily specials. They have a wide selection of breakfast and sandwiches. We had the fish taco special which was delicious and wished they could have it as a regular selection and the Reuben sandwich with fries. Their meals are generous portions. The staff is friendly and attentive. The prices are reasonable. read more

Bad food. Dry recooked chewy chicken, nothing was seasoned. Store bought burger buns. I regret coming here

As a Sausalito resident I can't believe it took me this long to check out Bayside Cafe. Filled with regulars on a Monday morning, larger than it appears on the outside. I'm a tough critic of tuna melts and this one was good. Extra points for sweet potato fries option without an up charge. read more

Don't go here! I prefer to have it all to myself. The food is really good, the staff is always friendly, and it has that old-fashioned diner vibe. I've been eating here for decades. But again, don't eat here. I don't want to have to wait for a table. read more

Great views, food and service! This is a hidden gem in Sausalito no wait, great vibe.

Everything about Bayside Cafe is a dream. The owner and the entire staff make you feel so welcome. The vibe is relaxed, warm and inviting. You can tell that many of the customers are regulars here and that this is a joyous part of their routine. The portions are so generous that we almost always have leftovers for the next day and the food is really fresh and tasty. This is a family run business and you can feel that. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Elyse and her team deliver a terrific dining experience! It is a great brunch spot! Worth the 40 mile drive on the way to the beach! I'm not a smoothie or big juice drinker but their offerings are lengthy! I just stick to the fresh-squeezed OJ. If you're headed to Marin, or looking for a Sausalito brunch spot, this is your place ( and mine!!). read more

This was a quick stop on our way to the Marine Mammal Sanctuary in San Francisco. The breakfast was good and we were able to keep an eye on our car since it had all of our luggage and such, so that was nice. I got the huevos rancheros which was really good. We got a mix of other items within our party and all thought it was pretty delicious. Overall, it was a nice stop and would go back if we were in the area again. read more

This is THE breakfast spot my friends and I come to whenever we drive up to Mount Tamalpais. The ambiance is cute and quaint, and can be very very busy during weekends and/or brunch time so be prepared to wait. I always order their salmon bagel alongside one of their freshly squeezed juices. This spot never fails! read more

My go-to for corned beef hash with eggs and toast. Awesome chili soup. No better place for their amazing juices and smoothies. Ambiance could afford a remake but the outdoor view of the houseboats make it worthwhile. read more

Made a pit stop here on our way up HWY 1 from seeing such good reviews. It's a quaint little diner near the water and just felt very homey. It happened to be Valentine's Day so they had cute decor throughout. I ordered the pesto chicken club and my fiancé ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich. Service was great and everyone was so nice. Ordering and the time to receive the food was quick and the food looked delicious! My sandwich was good, just a bit too much bread (but that's due to the club), the chicken was pretty dry and overcooked, and there was hardly any pesto on it. The sweet potato fries were delicious so that made up for the sandwich lol. My fiancé did not like his sandwich at all and said the blue cheese in it tasted horrible. We had salads as well that were pretty good and overall the food is decent, just a little overpriced for what it was, but we expected that for the area. Just your average quaint diner if you like that kind of thing. Might be better for breakfast though! read more

Great little diner for breakfast - so many options! As a vegetarian, I'm happy to have many things to be able to choose from

Fun stop, staff were all dressed in Halloween garb. They had a Halloween menu that offer delicious breakfast/brunch meals and drinks. Total delight with a pretty view from the porch of the floating village and harbor. Plenty of convenient parking too read more

The food is fresh and delicious, the staff are always polite and helpful. Lots of choices and reasonable prices. They've got this down; no commotion or drama! Take out a plus too. A friendly and pneighborhood place for breakfast or lunch in Sausalito. read more

This is hands down one of my favorite places to go. The food is delicious. The staff is warm, friendly, attentive, and professional. And the location is perfect with easy access, parking, and walking areas available nearby. The best! read more

Had to wait a bit to be seated but this time was made up by how fast the service was. Super friendly staff. I got a lot of offers to refill my coffee and my water. The food came out maybe 5 minutes after I ordered, which is very impressive. And the food itself was solid. Definitely a local spot - seemed like a lot of people knew the staff. read more

The food was good. I had the smoked salmon Benedict and my mom had the chicken fried steak. The service was really quick. I took away a star because after we had paid I asked one of the employees walking by where the restroom was and his response was "did you pay already?" Like he didn't want me to use the bathroom until he knew for sure we had paid. So if I had to go to the bathroom mid meal would I have not been allowed? Weird way to treat customers. read more

$20 for two thin slices of eggplant and 1/2 of a mushroom. The tablespoon of goat's cheese was not fresh. Everything was tasteless - completely unseasoned. Just a ripoff. MacDonald's (yuck) would be better. Avoid this place! read more

Chirpy Chicken Sandwich was disgusting. Soggy burger bun, literally drowned in sauce. Never again.

The Bayside Cafe in Sausalito has so many delicious meals to choose from. So fresh and look at the beautiful presentation! Every time I dine here, the food is top quality as is the service and staff. Another thing I love about this place is how meticulous they are, the place always looks great, they do a great job to keep it clean and well maintained. Thank you Bayside, can't wait for my next visit! read more

The food was tasty. We didn't take photos. But it was dirty service was mediocre. If the food wasn't so good it would be one star. They carry the full catchup in the apron pocket with no protection for the spout. read more

Incredibly fast service. Food was delicious. Perfect when passing through to or from SF

I am conflicted with this review. The great... The place exudes charm, with a welcoming vibe that draws you in, and it's impeccably clean, adding to the appeal. The menu is a treasure trove, offering something for everyone and piquing your curiosity with its wide variety. The service that we experienced was amiable and efficient but a touch slow. The not-so-great... We seated ourselves as that is what the sign in the front said. We had not been served yet; however, we'd put our order in. Two other guests sat near us and were provided a menu and water. As we waited for our food to arrive, a server came in and asked the folks next to us to move as they couldn't sit where they were seated. The server explained that she'd forgotten to turn the sign around to 'wait to be seated.' The folks were understandably annoyed. She stood there til they finally got up and left. Although she was apologizing the entire time, she still stood over them, essentially forcing them to go. The same server then asked another woman to please move as well. She just got up and left without saying anything. After these two parties were asked to leave or move seats, the server proceeded to seat a party of 12 at the same tables. The entire episode seemed odd. It was nice to see the party of 12 seated and cared for so efficiently. It was strange, though, as two other parties were asked to move/leave to accommodate them. The food was "okay". We all thought that maybe we had ordered the wrong things. My fresh juice was served at room temperature; my husband's smoothie had zero flavors, and our kid's meal was pretty decent. I think we should have gone with an egg-based meal vs. carbs. read more

Mom and pop places are the best! We came here for breakfast both days we were in Marin -- that's how good it is! On Saturday we came around 11 and were seated right away. On Sunday we came around 10 and waited about 30 mins (well worth the wait though!) So they are definitely busier in the morning. It looked like this is a favorite spot for a lot of the locals. I got the mess-n-browns the first day and the tooty-fruity pancakes the next day. Both were so good and so filling. I couldn't even finish all the browns! The tooty-fruity pancakes are now #1 on my list of best pancakes. I'd go out of my way any day for those! I also got smoothies both days. They were healthy but delicious and you could tell they were made-to-order and made with fresh ingredients. I also loved the uniqueness of offering smoothies. Our waitresses both days were very nice and service was great! Can't wait to come back! read more

So my wifey and i visited SF for our anniversary. We were about to leave back to LA when we decided to cross the Golden Gate Bridge!

I'm so happy we stopped to eat here! The omelet i order was soooo fresh and delicious! The mimosas weren't that strong but i really enjoyed the whole vibe in there i stronger recommend this amazing restaurant read more
