Really really good food! Service wasn't that great (or at least our server was careless). We ordered the fresh salmon benedict and the Salmon-Lito omlette. Both were delicious. Their home made fries were to die for! The place is also very well located- right by the beautiful boathouses. A sumptuous brunch followed by a stroll by the boathouses made my day!! read more

What a great breakfast place ! Wonder full staff and great tasting food ! I just can in this morning and my little brother is sick the nice staff went out of there way to warm soup up for my brother even tho it was only 6am breakfast menu thank you soo much !! read more

Had an amazing Philly cheesesteak, super helpful and kind staff. My drink was never under halfway full before I was asked for a refill. They play great music too read more

My sister, baby niece, husband and I had "brunch" around noon today, in the enclosed patio. My sister had banana pancakes with bacon (banana chunks were inside the pancakes) and enjoyed her meal. My husband had the fish sandwich and thought it was horrible. It was a frozen breaded fish square and he said he could make a much better frozen fish sandwich at home (he's a terrible cook, too). He asked me what made me choose the cafe to begin with and I told him it had gotten all positive reviews at Yelp. To make up for it, I'm making a southern-style, white fish dinner right now... I had the huevos rancheros and thought it was fine (borderline good). We had screwdrivers to drink and I was surprised to see that they came in a large, tall cup, and not surprised that I couldn't taste any vodka. My water cup had a lipstick stain on it and I don't know if I'd return. A restaurant has to be clean and sanitary. read more

My family and I have been going to Bayside Cafe for many years and we absolutely love this place. The food comes quick, hot and plentiful! Rigo never let's your coffee cup get below half full before he is there. The service is the best. Everybody helps out. If someone who is not "your waitperson" walks by and you need something they will get it right away! Alise and her parents are so friendly. The remember you and treat you like part of their family. We will continue to come here until they kick us out! read more

My favorite thing about Bayside? These guys are fast! Many a weekend morning I've arrived, ordered, been served, eaten, payed, and been out the door in 40 minutes. A quick breakfast at Bayside is my favorite way to make working on the weekend bearable. My second favorite thing is their delicious, legitimately fresh-squeezed juices. Slamming 6oz of raw beet/apple juice makes the bacon and eggs totally guilt free in my book. And speaking of eggs and bacon: You gotta love the Super Duper special. Two eggs, two strips of bacon, and choice of toast for $4.75. Heck. Yes! read more

My son and I love this place! We live in the south bay, but whenever we are going over the GG Bridge to Marin or Santa Rosa etc., we always stop here for breakfast or lunch. I have had breakfast there, but not recently. Last month I was on vacation in Santa Rosa and Sonoma areas, and you know my sister and I stopped here on the way up, and I stopped here again on the way back. Both times I had lunch - their baby shrimp and avocado sandwich was amazing! I had sweet potato fries on the way up, and just the sandwich on the way back. Great friendly service, and the food is always fresh and delicious. I also had a scoop of coffee ice cream (in addition to smoothies as some reviewers mentioned, they do have a variety of ice cream flavors). There is a back room with large windows overlooking the cute houseboats if you'd like a nice view while you eat. read more

Quick and delicious! The servers could put a smile on and be a little more friendly in my opinion. read more

This is the perfect place to eat. You get wonderful atmosphere both inside and out. Beautiful view of the houseboats and the bay. The service is outstanding and the food is delicious and clean. The prices are great and the portions are superior. If you visiting Sausalito this is your breakfast and lunch spot. read more

I love, love, love this place! The highlight is their fresh squeezed juices but breakfasts are also filling and delicious. They also have an espresso machine and make a perfect latte. I hear their desserts are fantastic as well, though I've never had them. Oh and they have alcohol too. The staff is super friendly and almost always fast about bringing your food, drinks, etc. I come about once a month but there is definitely a crowd that comes weekly, if not daily. It's that good. read more

I had a very good breakfast here. The oatmeal is outstanding. This restaurant is popular with the locals. The food seems very good, although I only had one breakfast. My oatmeal was pipin' hot and delicious, and it was definitely better prepared than most places. Highly recommended. read more

Good diner food for decent prices. Always great coffee and consistent food quality. Waitstaff is pretty nice and you never have to wait long to get a table. read more

Nice little cafe/diner right off the 101 in cutest Sausalito and it seemed for a weekday lunch that a lot of the older locals liked the place. Not posh/fancy, more old school with friendly service and big portions (and it tastes good/fresh too). Sitting in the enclosed "patio" area we had the burgers and shakes (hint both kinds of fries are good). Prices (with the shakes) were around $15 to $20 person so pretty normal for the Bay Area. read more

This is a 3-star kind of place. Definitely not for foodies. My family loves it though ... and so does the entire community for that matter, so I guess I do too! 4 stars. read more

This quaint place to have Sunday brunch or lunch will surprise you. I had the avocado, tomato, bacon omelette with hash browns and the best homemade sourdough bread! Their coffee was very good and the service was like a Gonga Line refilling your coffee and water the minute their was room in your cup. Awesome service and wonderful breakfast hot and plenty of food. My friends had the Super dupper number 1 and the spinach Benedict with picco de gallo with the homemade English muffins. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the expedience of their service. I will be back! read more

What a wonderful breakfast we had! I loved the huevos rancheros and good coffee. Hubby had the most fluffy, delicious blueberry pancakes. We shared bacon that was cooked just right. Not greasy and not burnt. Very generous portions! The restaurant was busy on a Sunday afternoon after Christmas (lots of families), but we were seated and served coffee, immediately. I couldn't believe how quickly meals came with such a big crowd. The coffee kept coming and so did milk for the coffee! The service was perfect and friendly. We were asked from time to time if we needed anything. Bayside Cafe is a refreshing change from other Sausalito restaurants filled with tourists. Come in your casual clothes and eat with the locals! We'll be back! read more

Huge Avo and Spinach omelete, real fresh country potatoes and every waiter in the place waits on all tables. You never wait for anything. Ten thumbs UP!! read more

Great, local, down to earth diner with friendly servers. Only wished they didn't rush you out by giving you the bill before you're ready.

In order to understand this review, you have to understand my love for Swedish pancakes. My favorite breakfast joint in my hometown has the best Swedish pankcakes in the world, so when I saw that Bayside was offering them on their specials board, I knew I had to get them. Theirs is a thicker version, but nonetheless delicious and rolled up per usual; which made me realize that Swedish pancakes are pretty much the blunt of the breakfast universe. I got mine with a side of crispy bacon. The coffee was spot on. My boyfriend ordered a blueberry-banana protein shake to start and went with the traditional pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs. It's nice to have the option of protein shakes and fresh squeezed juices. As I am in the area until November, I definitely see myself returning. read more

I cannot say stress enough, this place ROCKS. The hot chocolate is divine, the omelets are to die for, the staff is sweet, and the view is great. If you're passing through, STOP HERE. read more

This is probably my favorite spot for breakfast in Sausalito. Every year I bring my family here when they visit and they love it : the service is great, the food is amazing and the ratio price / quantity is probably the best in the Bay Area. It opens until 4pm so you get plenty of time to drive there if you're coming from the city and there is a parking lot. Would recommend a thousand times! read more

The Bayside Cafe's juice beverages are freshly made from original recipes and are tasty and healthy and are perfect for takeout.

It's very good for diner food. We had a group of nine people and they accommodated us very quickly. We sat on the "balcony" equivalent and it was extremely muggy, I felt sticky and gross after eating. I had a basic breakfast with eggs, bacon, and a waffle. The bacon I asked for extra crispy -- because soggy bacon is gross-- and about half was cooked. The waffle was DELICIOUS!! Crispy and soft, if I happen to go back I will get it again. Service was fair, I never got asked if I wanted a drink and coffee was only refilled twice the whole time me were there -- about an hour. Overall I would go back, but not in a hurry. read more

Fantastic reasonably priced breakfast place with really fast friendly service and bad a** freshly squeezed juices. It can get a bit noisy, get there early read more

Way above average diner food... Side salads were really fresh with homemade dressing. Loved my wife's macho nachos ... Sturdy crunchy chips with fresh ingredients, but ground beef was a bit under seasoned. Nice details to food and service for affordable price for this area. Avoid ice cream, they don't sell enough to keep it fresh. Wish I could've tried the pie. Our waiter was a sweet attentive guy and put up with our huge group. What's not to like about this great little unpretentious diner? read more

Nothing lasts forever Quality has gone downhill as prices have gone up. A disappointing trend. Ownership attitude also rough around the edges. Omelette over cooked. OJ tasted funny. Not as good as diluted frozen. Many better options read more

Just had their Asian Chicken Salad. It was the perfect size and came with some delicious chicken tender whole so I could cut up what I wanted. The dressing was delicious and of course I ordered a side of it more! Service was fast and friendly. Nice little place if not in need of a little facelift! Highly recommended read more

Wife and I came here after looking at all the positive reviews. Can't say it deserves otherwise. The wait staff was friendly, ambiance was cozy with Celine Dion playing in the background. My wife got the Fruity-Tootie and I got the Bayside Bang. Both were delicious and cooked perfect to our order. If you're gluten-free, the pancakes are a great option! They're fluffy and tasty! read more

old school diner type place with good food, super friendly and attentive staff and nice views from the "lanai" ... also, spandex heaven (right next to mikes bikes and the bike trail) reasonable prices and they actually listen when you order (i asked for my bacon well and my friend asked for hers well-ish, and they actually arrived that way!). i can't believe i haven't been here before. but, like the terminator, i'll be back! thanks bayside for a lovely not overpriced marin breakfast! read more

The burgers and fries are worth the calories! Pretty traditional diner menu with some healthy options thrown in. (Which I never order). All of the breakfast items are delicious. The people who own the restaurant are warm and friendly. Your coffee cup will always be full and hot. read more

LOVE IT! I have been eating at Bayside cafe twice week for about a year now and I am always VERY happy with my food & service! The staff has all been a part of the restaurant for years and they are very friendly and efficient. It can be a packed house and you still get exceptional speedy service. I love the variety of their menu as well, they have something to make everyone happy, and its all delicious and fresh! I have taken lots of friends to lunch at Bayside and everyone of them has become a regular!! The location is very understated, but an amazing place! Must try! 8) read more

Within 24 hours, we've been there twice, once for lunch and once for breakfast. We love the place. It is a great family owned and operated spot that has everything you might be craving for. The smoothies and juices from the juice bar are made with fresh fruits and veggies. The turkey burgers were great. Omelets were good, but the pancakes--the Fruty-Tutty cakes were possibly the best pancakes we've ever had. read more

This little diner was hopping on a Thursday afternoon! We had to wait a few minutes to be seated, but seeing as they were so busy it was completely reasonable. Despite being so busy our food was out really quickly after we ordered, which was great because we were all pretty hungry. There were tons of different, delicious options for our party of six that included vegetarians, meat-etarians, and picky eaters. My mom really enjoyed her freshly squeezed juice and all of the food was really good as well. read more

I have been to Bayside at least a half a dozen times in the past three months. It has always been amazing with the best pancakes in Marin and very friendly servers. Not so today. They are NOT a gluten free friendly place. We spoke with the manager (who was beyond snarky and rude) and she did not understand cross contamination between a gluten free pancake and a regular pancake being cooked on the same griddle. They use the buzz words "Gluten Free" in their menu, but don't be mistaken, there is cross contamination happening. If you are gluten free for a diet, you should be safe, but if you are gluten free for medical reasons, go somewhere else. Our server was very nice and took our order, which I saw her write down correctly (simple changes/substitutions). When our food came about 25 minutes later, our food was not what we ordered. When we waited to tell a server or the manager, the manger blamed it on the server. When our food finally came, it was sub-par. Way below the standard I have come to expect from Bayside. It was nothing special. Will I return to Bayside? Probably not any time soon. Or when that snark filled manager isn't there. And definitely NOT with anyone that is gluten sensitive. PS - they do not have a way to toast their gluten free toast. They microwave it. Yes, microwave gluten free bread. So, basically, warm soggy cardboard. read more

This is my first time here. I had an omelette with has browns and toast. The meal was absolutely delicious. The service was great! I will come back again and try the lunch menu! read more

Great food, fast service. I felt a little like I was being rushed and sometimes forgotten (maybe bc I sat in the "outside" patio portion), but nonetheless- the food was amazing. Great little breakfast/lunch place away from all the tourist-y/business of Sausalito. read more

Bayside Cafe - Ranch burger w/ fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sausalito, California

See all

Waking up from a night out with fellow yelpers, I had a pain in my stomach. It gurgled, rumbled, it seemed to talk to me... all just saying "Feed me. Feed me now. Bitch." Perhaps it was all those beers I had the night before that relieved me of any pain, sensibility or really any sanity, but I was ready for breakfast. Andy F and his bf were going to take me to Muir Woods and said they knew the perfect spot to go before hand. Since I was pretty much at their mercy, I replied with a nod and I, by myself, (ahem.. Joe C), hopped in to the shower and we were off. We were off over the bridge and not through the woods when we settled down by the famous house boats. My hunger was nearly over taking me at this point and there for insanity was coming soon. We walked in to this small, friendly place, plenty of smiles on the staff and even better a lot of smiles on the faces of the people sitting at the tables and booths. Sweet. That's a good sign to me. We plopped our rears at a booth and I poured longing looks at all the menu. I was going big time. I got their omelet with their chicken apple wood smoked sausage, zucchini, avocados, cheese, hash browns on the side and of course, because I was insane, an order of 3 pancakes. Told you I was hungry and insane. When my pile of food arrived I was thanking Sweet Jebus for its appearance. I quickly moved from savoring the deliciousness to inhaling my food. The omelet was cooked light and fluffy and stuffed with all those tasty ingredients, but more importantly not heavy. The pancakes were a little firm and a little dry... but nothing five trees worth of maple syrup couldn't fix. I think I actually finished my meal of two before Andy and his bf called it quits on theirs. Was I stuffed? Nope, just pleasantly full, which was good because we were going to hike a little in Muir Woods and I needed all the energy I could. Prices were good. Service was quick and spot on and the food was tasty. Yes, it is all the way over in Sausalito. Would I come here and skip all the luscious breakfast places in the city? Nope. However if you are headed or in the area, I would for sure stop on by, their friendly ways will make you feel at home... if not the food probably will. read more

I thought the food here was really good. I also loved the fresh orange carrot juice. Customer service was good. Overall great experience, I find myself wanting to return. read more

Decided to venture out of tiburon for breakfast and found bayside cafe on my yelp app. My friends been here for years and always rave about the place. Arrive at around 10am on Sunday and place is already packed. After a short wait we got our table ready and our waitress couldn't be nicer. Very attentive and on top of things. As far as foodchoices, it's your typical American breakfast places, food tastes pretty good. Loved the smoke salmons omelette! We will be back again for sure! read more

Liked this place, though Adam found ice-cold spots in his fried chicken. I had the foccaccia chicken-and-mushroom sandwich with aioli and caramelized onions. Excellent. I also loved how they did the fries -- all crinkly and crisp. Service was almost too attentive. Very convenient to the Issaquah Dock, where we went to go see an art show at the houseboats. I'd go back! read more
