    Salmon, eggs, onions and cream cheese.
    Lenore N.

    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.

    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.

    Cute brunch spot near Sausalito! Food was good, service was also pretty good. Would come back if in the area

    Ultimate Club (front) & Crunch! (back) | IG: @nomwithelaine

    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.

    Lemon meringue pie

    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.

    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.

    Huevos rancheros

    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.

    Eggs Benedict and All in One
    Janice C.

    Love their food! Easily one of the best brunch places in the Bay Area with amazing choice of breakfast dishes. The eggs Benedict and all in one are our favourites and we keep going back on weekends. Service is great and food is served quickly despite the crowd. Highly recommend!

    Wow wow wow - the coffee is delicious!…read more Loved the vibe of this cute coffee cafe. It was busy and buzzing during the morning hours and we had great service from an older gentleman who took his time to ensure we got exactly what we were looking for. They have a cute backyard patio space with additional seating (and maybe a pup or two!) Drinks: the Iced Vietnamese coffee and the Iced Churro latte. Both were strong and delicious!

    Got it. I'll turn this into a polished Yelp Elite-style narrative: observant, balanced, a little…read morewitty, and clearly written by someone who actually spends time here--not a fly-by latte tourist. This spot feels like the other side of Sausalito--in the best way. If Sausalito Bakery is the pressed-linen, weekend-brunch version of town, this place is where the everyday locals land. Same essence, very different energy. Cozy, familiar, and quietly charming without trying too hard. The space itself is warm and inviting, with a lived-in feel and a glowing sign in the back that somehow makes the whole room feel softer. There's a large communal table, plenty of indoor seating, and a steady hum of conversation that creates excellent white noise. It's a solid place to get work done--as long as you're not recording audio, because it does get a little loud--but for emails, planning, or a casual work session, it absolutely works. Now, the matcha. This is the real headline. I'll be honest: I used to actively avoid ordering matcha here. It was mediocre at best. About five months ago, they changed it--slight improvement, but still not there. I know the ownership was proud of that update, but something clearly changed again since then, because today's matcha was genuinely impressive. Like, stop-what-you're-doing impressive. At this point, I'm comfortable saying this is the best matcha in Sausalito. Egg Lady's is fine, but it doesn't come close. Sausalito Bakery is lovely to hang out in, and their pastries are great--but their matcha is forgettable. This one isn't. (The only matcha I've had locally that competes was at an ERIA Events gathering, but that's not exactly a walk-in situation, so it doesn't count.) If you're in Sausalito specifically looking for matcha, this is the place. They're also great with substitutions, service is quick, and the owner has a genuinely warm, welcoming presence--lots of friendly back-and-forth with regulars, which adds to the atmosphere rather than distracting from it. I didn't try the pastries or sandwiches this time (not much of a pastry person), though everything looked solid. Outdoor seating exists, but with the weather being a bit unpredictable lately, indoor is the move. Fair warning: parking is a hassle. I parked in the lot near Trident, and while it worked, the valet experience was... unpleasant enough that I probably wouldn't do it again. Plan accordingly. All in all, this is a comfortable, local-feeling café with excellent matcha, good energy, and enough seating to make it a reliable go-to. It may not be the "scene," but it's exactly the kind of place you end up recommending when someone asks, "Where do you actually like to go?"

I'm a local and I will be talking shit to all my people about how much this place sucks. I wouldn't have had such a strong feeling if the waiter wasn't such a piece of shit towards my mom. I've been trained in French cooking and I am telling you what I was served was not a croque madame. Read a French cookbook it's not hard. Also if I'm going to be so honest, the egg was over cooked and yall were so cheap with the crab on the Benedict. Now I know why the restaurant was empty. How It's Made Prep: Brush bread with Dijon mustard and layer with ham and Gruyère.Toast: Fry the sandwich in butter until golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.Bake/Broil: Top the sandwich with a layer of Béchamel and more cheese. Broil in the oven until bubbling and browned.Finish: While the sandwich is broiling, fry an egg sunny-side up. Top the hot sandwich with the egg and serve immediately.

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.
