First time here- great experience
Lisa W.

Really friendly service and coffee beverages are tasty. Prices are quite reasonable and the orders are complete in a very timely way.

Banana Bread
Brenda T.

First Timer & I Am Definitely impressed With This Spot! I'm Very Picky With Chai Lattes & Wow They Did A Great Job! It's On The Sweeter Side But Very Delicious! Banana Bread & Chorizo & Egg Burrito Were Very Good As Well! Their Service Was Great As Well! I Will Be Back!

I've been coming here for years, and love getting coffee via drive through as it saves a lot of time. There are a couple of tables here and about 5 spots to park if someone wanted to sit and eat instead of eating in their car. I'm sensitive to that since I'm trying to keep my new car smell as long as I can. There is also a short little walking trail that goes along a marsh behind the next-door hotel. I love how they open so early at 4:30! This is the best for commuters but not great for late coffee drinkers since they close at 4:30pm and 12:30pm on weekends! Closed Sundays.

BIG ham&cheese!

Quick service and nice stop! Hot mocha and good prices. The worker us by herself but she's very friendly and the place was getting a little busy. Props to her.

CABLE CAR "KICKER" (HIGH CAFFEINE)
Keila P.

Stopped by here on the way to a hike in Marin. Staff greeted us and the spot didn't seem too busy. It seems like you can drive through to buy coffee, but we parked and walked up to the window. That was a little confusing since most places have a window for walk up versus a window for drive through. It's a convenient spot if you pick up coffee after fuelling gas down the road before hopping back on 101

Banana Muffins.

Amazing banana bread. Great start to the morning. Coffee and banana bread! Easy access drive though.

The whole place!

Satisfying black coffee served from a cute cable car. Wetlands make a fine backdrop for together time on a road trip. Close and convenient to the highway.

Good coffee but subpar service. It's hard to see any menu outside and they always seem to be low on pastries.

After remaking my boyfriend's eggs they forgot his toast. Then when the toast came they forgot the jam. The waitress didn't ask about drink refills, though she did refill my coffee. The ambiance was fine, but not the special holiday brunch spot we had imagined. Next time we'll find a different Larkspur restaurant.

Eric made my birthday even more special by having the fireplace burning and some bubbly waiting on ice when we got there. The showers were huge with two shower heads- one on each side. Ultimate luxury. I loved the rustic homey feel they had. There were rolled up blankets everywhere, they had a little game room where we played scrabble and jenga before bed. Breakfast was included and they had two different types of homemade quiche and something from everyone- bagels, yogurt, individual fresh fruit cups, and cookies. We hope to come back again some day!

When we walked in, we were met with what can only be described as complete indifference. Not outright rude, just a noticeable lack of hospitality that set the tone. I was the driver, so I grabbed beers for the group and ordered a Diet Coke for myself. They're pouring soda from a gun, nothing unusual--but when I finished and asked for a refill, I was told there were no free refills. That was surprising, especially given the minimal cost of fountain soda. It wasn't about the money--it was the principle. For the cost of a small refill, they lost a customer and, more importantly, the kind of customer who would otherwise bring friends and recommend the place. Great location, but service and basic customer goodwill need serious improvement.

And here you find a nice value which includes scrambled eggs sitting on top of rustic bread with a smashed avocado and a radish garnish, delightful. Accompanying this dish I had one single buttermilk pancake with what appeared to be fresh maple syrup. Good stuff! I'd like to point out that there is a pleasant, clean restroom, which is a testament to customer service and integrity. Something that I always appreciate.. This is a roadside diner feel located near the Good Earth grocery store, which is also deserving of a visit when you're in the area. (Check out the "proof lab" facility, or shall I say "campus" across the street -a very interesting spot. Google it and check it out online.) The Shoreline Cafe has a very competent, efficient, and friendly staff that knows what they're doing. There are lovely outdoor seating tables with nice umbrellas, as well as ample seating indoors in a comfortable atmosphere. Now that my belly is full until my lunch hour later today, I can contemplate clever epicurean/trendy dishes. How about some Tartine Butyrum ? OK, now I got you scrambling for a definition....

The hot sauce that was served with it had a good amount of heat, and I really enjoyed it. The variety of fruit served with the burrito also pleasantly surprised me. I ordered a juice with my meal as well. When I called to order, the employee said they had recently renamed their drinks, so she listed off ingredients for a few of them and I just picked based off what she said was inside. The juice was good, but so small! I think it was around a 6oz cup; I was expecting more than that for the price. I also went into use the restroom when I picked up the ordered and employee glared at me, which I thought was weird. I guess he assumed I wasn't a customer and was just wandering in? Overall, good quality and tasty food. However, I do think the price point is a slightly higher than it should be.
