Great options for vegetarians and carnivores alike! The Acai bowls are yummy (some of the better ones in Marin) but I personally love their Bay Bowl (pictured here) because it's the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I order it almost once a week. I was also hooked on their smoothies while I was pregnant! The staff is super friendly and the food is ready quickly. They also offer curbside pickup through the app!! It's a great spot to hang outside when the weather is nice. We bring many friends and visitors here, and they are always impressed. Truly something for everyone on the menu. They offer local deals a few times a month through their newsletter or text!

Their salads and food are so fresh, are made with quality ingredients, and are served in large portions as well! The Eastern Trade Winds salad is my absolute favorite - the dates in this salad add the perfect amount of sweetness! Staff is always kind and attentive. Definitely recommend trying their salads and soft serve! Only downside is that it's kind of pricey (average salad is about $20 and shake is $13ish), but worth it once or twice a week!

The crispy chicken sandwich looks AMAZING! however I've never gotten it because I probably would want a nap after I eat it- and unfortunately I have to go back to work usually. But one of these days I'll try it out. Their fish tacos are really good, as well as their salads. I heard their philly cheesesteak was always delicious with a ton of fries. They have parking in front and a large patio if you want some fresh air. Overall, highly recommend!

Salmon cooked rare. This dish is usually fully cooked. Given all the parasite dangers with fish,…read morekitchens should fully cook fish unless customer requests otherwise. Don't assume your customer wants rare fish. Now I have to worry if the fish had parasites. Cause the middle was rare, practically raw. I should have caught this when the kitchen took only 5 minutes to cook the thick fish but I caught it at the thick park of the fish which essentially had a raw middle.

And the best part, no dishes to wash or dry! Happy Thanksgiving!

Great price, especially as compared to the two $$ places around the area with menu pieces twice higher. Only wish it had a little more chicken, and I'm not so sure about the red peppers.

Very friendly and welcoming service, lots to choose from on their menu but I went with one of their newer offerings: a Chicken Yakisoba bowl. Good amount of food, the right amount of sauce, and fresh veggies. Also ordered the Taro Milk tea with slightly less sugar than they normally use and it was great! Clean little restaurant.

I enjoyed the turkey one, the meatball one, and the cheesesteak one (I order that one too many times) If your sandwich isn't toasted, it's a really different experience. Get it toasted. Trust. The portions are huge. Two people can eat a full size and be pretty content if you aren't a big eater Straightforward sandwiches, fair price, nice small business, what more can you want? OMG there was this crazy post on Reddit about an "overpriced" sandwich shop in Marin that pretty much expedited their closure. That's sad. I love small businesses.
