Custom made according to dietary restrictions, the chocolate one was unlike anything I've ever tasted! Not too sweet and SO fresh.

Twice as nice, Jane at the Cove has taken over and expanded the original Sweet Things space,…read moreleaving some favorite treats, increasing its bakery offerings and doubling its store footprint. You'll still find a lot of their "old school" Sweet Things original baked goods, alongside new breads and treats. Jane's is relatively close to the freeway, so worth a venture if your sweet tooth is calling. Today I needed a cafe with internet access but with actually good desserts (no thanks Starbucks) and solid tea and espresso drinks, so I came to Jane's and grabbed a lemon blueberry slice, an oat milk chai, and got some work done. I found my cake chilled and needing time to sit out and soften, but although not the perfect temperature, it was moist, sweet and flavorful. The new remodel at Jane's bakery has modernized the original space, but left some of the qualities and desserts that made the former Sweet Things sweet and nostalgic.

Our waiter was attentive - when asked he gave his favorites - and they did not disappoint. He was "Spot On"! We started our food journey with the Crab Empanadas - followed with one of the best Sea Bass entrées we've ever had. (The fish melts in your mouth w/ a sweet Asian fusion taste). The Chocolate cake was the perfect way to end our night. A must try when you go to Tiburon! P.s. after our meal we took a stroll and enjoyed the bay views. You may want to plan that in :)

It was…read morea really nice room, especially with the sun shining and the SF skyline outside of the window. Service was fairly attentive - there was only one slight hiccup with one entree not coming out until around 5 minutes after everyone's dish so we had to wait. Pretty good selection of signature cocktails. The Liquid Gold was refreshing and not that strong. As for the food, we got the tartare, crab empanada, bungalow Benedict, and the phyllo crusted pork chop. The tartare was fresh and not fishy at all, but was missing some salt. Crab empanada was great. The cilantro avocado puree and aioli complemented the crab well. Eggs Benedict was standard. It was nice that it came with a model bakery English muffin, but nothing stood out. Pork chop was fried very well. Crispy exterior but soft inside. It was a pretty hefty cut as well. I expected more from the taverna fries but it seemed like standard frozen fries. The chimichurri sauce was good but had an aioli texture, which was weird but still good taste wise. To end, the butterscotch budino was fairly light and had a good sweetness. All in all, the lunch was still enjoyable especially with the view. I do wish there was that wow factor in some of the dishes to better match the price.

The shop was intimate yet big enough to accommodate a good number of guests, supported by their umbrella covered outdoor seating. The staff was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, assisting us non-caviar experts navigate the menu with confidence. Highly recommend getting one of the caviar flights - coming with three decent sized champagne pours, three different caviars, with their house made blini pancakes, potato chips, crème fraiche and chives. It was the perfect way to try the various caviar and champagne options all in one. Also, we couldn't miss out on the caviar grilled cheese. It was delicious on so many levels. Cannot recommend it enough. Awesome place, food and experience. Can't wait to come back!

We stopped by the bakery to get some sweet treats. They offer breakfast, pastries, cookies,…read moresandwiches and salads. They have seating out front facing the ocean and seating inside. When we walked in, we smelled the sweetness of fresh pastries. We heard they are famous for their blueberry & banana bread pudding. The employees greeted us and were ready to help us with our order. There were so many things to pick from. At first glance I couldn't find the bread pudding. I asked if they were out of it. They were just about to bring a fresh batch out from the kitchen. Thank goodness . We ordered a piece of the blueberry & banana bread pudding, a slice of the apple strudel and a blueberry lemon scone. The blueberry & banana bread pudding was the best bread pudding I've ever had. It was warm, moist, sweet and loaded with blueberries. It was amazing. A must try if you are in the area. The apple strudel was very good and not too sweet. The blueberry lemon scone was also full of blueberries and was delicious. This bakery did not disappoint. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Sausalito.

Not sure if I caught them on a bad day, if quality has declined, or whether the reviews are misleading, but my experience was disappointing. Wanting to give a Caledonia Street restaurant some business, I forewent the lines at Joinery and sauntered over to make my choice - Sandrino, Arawan, or Sartaj. Having tried the latter two, Sandrino it was! Cue anticipation. Ordering what apparently is a "favorite", I sat down to enjoy the aptly named Sausalito pizza and a salad. While the insalata mista was fine, the pizza was a letdown. Featuring a crunchy yet bland crust, and very poorly distributed and undercooked toppings, the first slice had its toppings slide right off. Not a great start. Biting into the slice, my internal smile turned to a grimace as I rapidly realized this is the quality of pizza one can get anywhere in the country. The rest of my bites confirmed this unfortunate reality. Sandrino is simply not even in the same league as the great pizzas of Marin (PizzaHacker, Oliver's, Fratm, Picco, et al.) or even Fieldwork. Oh well, I'm glad I finally gave Sandrino a shot.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with big smiles and a genuine "welcome" that you just don't find everywhere. The staff was incredibly patient as we sampled flavors, which was much appreciated! What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It's so much more than just an ice cream shop. They have these awesome kid-oriented art activities that kept my little ones busy and creative, plus free arcade games that brought back some serious nostalgia for the adults. It's the perfect spot to actually relax while the kids have a blast. I have to obviously mention the most important part: the ice cream. It is phenomenal. They've developed their own recipes and you can tell they put a lot of thought into them. The ube is a must try! It's vibrant, earthy, and sweet--hands down the best ube ice cream I've had in the city. And I have to shout out the cookie dough - this isn't your standard grocery store version. The dough chunks are huge and have a unique, homemade taste that pairs perfectly with the base. If you're looking for a family-friendly spot with an amazing vibe and even better treats, this is it. We will definitely be back!

The price at this place is stupid. Just took my daughters here and 3 scoops on cones is $30 and…read morethey have the audacity to charge 2.6% to take cards. Ice cream is fine but mill valley swirl is much better. I think they got new ownership somewhat recently and this is a classic play to just milk the customer base (pun intended).

When I went back after leaving, they swapped the scone for the muffin but was surprised to watch them put the scone right back on display after I left and came back with it (seems like a questionable food hygiene choice). They did microwave the quiche for me... surprised they didn't have some for of oven. Honestly, none of it was good and after picking at it I threw most of the $22 order in the trash. An expensive waste of money. Additionally, they were calling someone a "puta" (a vulgar insult for a b*** or wh***) directly in front of me. Like just because I'm not Latino doesn't mean I can't speak Spanish. Very poor customer experience with immature / unprofessional staff. The ambience is similar to any other cafe.

I cannot believe how delicious this ice cream was!! Came in on a Saturday during lunch hour…read more Supercookies & cream in 3 kids sizes for our boss babies. The wait was a bit longer than anticipated since it was a warm Saturday - reasonable, with just one employee. Though, she was patient (despite the kids not so much, lol). The storefront was a small space, so it was hard to see the ice cream physically even though, there was a menu. Otherwise the ice cream was perfect (yes I ate my kid's ice cream!). It had a perfect smooth ice cream texture with a soft crunch from the cookies. When a bite had a cookie, it was like a blast of flavor, but not overwhelmingly sweet. Enjoyed the bits of cookies versus chunks of cookies. Also, loved how tiny the kids sizes were - size was just right and did not easily melt. In love... cookies & cream will always have my taste buds.. or my kids taste buds lol!

A few items were already sold out, which was a little disappointing, but totally understandable that close to closing. The ice cream was really good. It was super creamy. The matcha flavor was nice and balanced, and the cookie crumble added a good texture. The date shake was also delicious with a natural sweetness. Only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but overall still a solid spot for a treat. It's also in a plaza with a bunch of surrounding restaurants so it's a perfect dessert spot for after dinner.
