    vanilla lattes
    Jessica J.

    Holy bran muffin. (Can't speak for the cafe, as we only picked up coffee and pastries at the kiosk to go.) Our lattes were nothing to write home about, but there are limited options in Bolinas, so it gets the job done. THE BRAN MUFFIN, HOWEVER... Sorry to everyone who has never tried this. I'm still thinking about it weeks later. They're made in house and they do sell out, so grab it if you see it! The walnuts added a nice crunch. The skirt on the muffin is fabulous. The sugar is nicely crystalized, which adds another fun textural component. Never thought I'd speak so highly of a bran muffin tbh...

    cup of Clam Chowder ($9 in 8/2026)

    Yummy and great location (very close walk to the beach). Plenty of outdoor seating - out front and also around back. Brought my dog and saw other dogs there as well. Meals were great, gotta get fresh fish when you're there. I had the grilled fish tacos (3) and husband had fish and chips and a cup of clam chowder. Entrees we had were $28 each, and cup of soup was $9. Had no trouble bringing my dog in, however it's not like they had/ offered anything special for dogs like a bowl of water or anything. Service was so-so, but meals came out quickly enough and it could have just been who we were assigned to that day. They have two single stall bathrooms, in case that's helpful to know.

    What an adorable little place, with high quality food and wine. The staff is great, the homemade desserts are to die for.. I took a star off because I really think the fish dish could've been flavored better. I had the bistro tacos, and it was smothered in chipotle mayo which seemed like an unnecessary sauce given the marinated fish and pickled cabbage, plus their homemade salsa which was great! Other than that, a really great experience!

    Blackberry pie and buffalo ice cream

    Trust me, just say yes to the black cod, blackberry pie, and buffalo ice cream. And if you need something extra special, order a latte... it comes in a 90's throwback extra large mug.

    We went to coast cafe last night and had a lovely time. The food was delicious and the service was great! Would definitely recommend and we will be back.

    My husband found this spot and all I can say is he did an amazing job finding it because the food was great. We got there around noon and the outdoor patio was full, so we sat inside. I loved how as soon as we were done with a plate someone will come by and pick up the plate, which most places don't. The bathrooms were clean. The restaurant looked well taken care of inside. The calamari and crab tasted fresh and made me want more. They were not stingy on the clams for the pasta. I will definitely go out of my way to go back to this place again.

    Even though Bolinas doesn't have many restaurant options, the Coast Café has you covered! While their prices have gone up over the years, so has the quality of their cuisine. My friends and I were blown away by every dish, it was all absolutely delicious. And the highlight? Buffalo milk ice cream! I love buffalo milk ice cream and it is not super common. The best soft serve you'll ever have, hands down. I can't recommend it enough!

    Lamb with mashed potatoes and spinach
    Debbie S.

    Omgosh delicious! The caesar salad is divine. You even get anchovies on top! The sourdough Bread is locally made and scrumptious! We also got the lamb with mashed potatoes and spinach and our cousin got the rock cod with root vegetables. She let me taste the cod and it was yummy and I dont like cod

    Calamari and salad
    Alicia H.

    While staying in Bolinas we ate at the Coast Cafe and it was wonderful! The first night we had the calamari and blackberry pie. The calamari was lightly breaded and better than any I have had! The salad was fresh and crisp with creamy blue cheese crumbled. The pie was unbelievable! Not too sweet and the soft serve ice cream was a perfect addition. The 2nd night we ordered a combination pizza to go and it was delicious too! The service was fantastic and they were friendly, attentive! Loved the restaurant vibe!

    Delicious food, friendly staff, and fast service! Everything we ordered was super tasty and beautifully presented. The staff was kind and welcoming, and our food came out quickly. Great experience overall -- we'll definitely be back!

    Fish and chips and fish of the day
    Audrey F.

    Really enjoyed the social atmosphere and live music here on a Saturday night. Some communal tables for those feeling chatty. Our waitress was so friendly and helped talk through some of the dishes with us. Fish was fresh and flavorful. Nonalcoholic beer options available!

We were seated outside immediately. Staff were friendly, however also had a bit of a guard vibe, bathroom was only for seated customers. Which is understandable given how slammed the burger stand gets. Plus the public beach bathrooms are very close. Now the food was exceptional. Were the prices high? A bit. However, 100% worth it. We followed the recommendation of another reviewer and ordered the bread and pesto. Amazing. You should definitely do this too. I'm told the burger was also delicious. The kid's grilled cheese was solid, even better when dipped in the leftover pesto. And the cauliflower flat bread was sooo good. The market sells their bread, pesto, curried cauliflower and romenesco sauce should you want some for home as well. Would not hesitate to come back or recommend

Our server's tone made us feel like an inconvenience, while other tables seemed to receive noticeably friendlier service. We told our server when ordering that we wanted the French toast for dessert, only to be told later that breakfast was over and they could no longer make it. The host also rolled her eyes when we asked for an umbrella because our table was directly in the sun. Between the inattentive service, unprofessional atmosphere, dirty restroom, and underseasoned food, the entire experience fell short.

We had a 7:45pm dinner reservation and arrived on time, only to find no one at the host stand. After waiting about 10 minutes, someone finally came and seated us around 7:55. Water was poured, and then nothing. No server ever came to our table. After sitting there for 30 minutes without anyone taking our order or even checking in, we left at 8:25. Really disappointing, because the food actually looked good. We were staying nearby and decided to give it another shot the next morning for breakfast, which was included with our hotel stay. Unfortunately, it was more of the same. We arrived around 9am, again no one at the host stand. We eventually flagged down a waitress, who rudely told us to just seat ourselves. After sitting down, we waited another 20 minutes and still no one came to take our order. We left again without eating. The front of house operation here is a complete mess. It feels like there is no system at all, no coordination, no accountability, and no awareness of guests. At one point, I overheard staff saying things like "let's just say this one has no milk in it" and "let's just say this one is sunny side up," which made it clear they did not even know where dishes were supposed to go and were just guessing. Even more telling, barely anyone in the restaurant was actually eating, and most people looked as confused and frustrated as we were. Honestly, the owner and staff should be embarrassed by how poorly this place is being run. I have never seen such a complete breakdown in service, especially two days in a row. Huge disappointment.

It was tag team service between the bar keep and our server, they worked it out very well. Drinks were served, and our dinner was ordered in good time. We started with a very nice creamy tomato soup, could have been served hotter but passable. I had also ordered a small green salad we shared, my entree was Beef Wellington, a filet cooked medium rare. WoW best steak in a longtime, I really enjoyed it. M ordered the Beef on a roll sandwich with au jus, we'd call it a french dip but not here ya don't. Finished up with a dessert each, bread caramel swirl pudding and M loved her apple crisp pastry al a mode. Good Dinner. We had breakfast here the following morning, a "typical English Breakfast" it sure was. I've cooked a few of those myself, like mine it was missing the "gammon" style bacon which isn't really available at Safeway. Two meals and a good nights rest upstairs finished our road trip in a very memorable style, I would encourage you to enjoy the experience as we did. Our thanks to all the staff & owner.

Tried a salad, fries (chips), bangers and mash, beef and potato pasties and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It went well with a pint. Bangers and mash was very good. The salad was a little small but tasty. Fries were great. The pasties were tasty but didn't have much meat in the filling. Sticky toffee pudding was good but not great. Service was a little slow and off they didn't bring any mustard for the bangers or extra water. Overall it was pretty good and I enjoyed going. I would recommend going for a pint or happy hour. The bar is very small but there is a lot of outdoor space. There is almost no cell phone reception here but they have free WiFi.

The menu is large, with savory and sweet, and out server Eda was excellent and attentive. The table was set up with plenty of condiments and lots of half-and-half, which was was great. I usually have to ask for extra. I ordered coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. When the juice arrived, a large glass, I almost downed it at once, it was soooo good. The place has a full bar, and they offer a tasting sampler of four spiked iced coffees - fun! One problem with the menu - the omelettes are all four egg! That's huge. I was afraid to order one, thinking that I'd waste half. I got the basic two eggs with sides (with "potatoe" written on the receipt, ha!) When it arrived, it was clearly more than two eggs, perfectly scrambled. The wife ordered avocado toast, which was a beautiful presentation. It was DIY, with unadorned toast, a little bowl full of avocado topping, additional sliced avocado, two sliced hard boiled eggs (the menu said it would be one - see a pattern here?) and crispy hash browns on the side, instead of fruit.

I do think it would have been even better with a little more cream, but since they're called Oreo Cookie Pancakes, the flavor made sense. The pancakes were super fluffy, soft, and delicious! I would definitely get them again or try another pancake option next time. My partner got the Banana Foster French Toast, and he really enjoyed it as well. We both ended up getting really full! The menu is pretty extensive, and they also offer flights, which I thought was a fun option. I'd definitely like to come back and try some of the other dishes. I have a sweet tooth, so I really appreciated the variety of sweet options they had. I also realized that you can get mini pancakes if you wanted to! Even though the restaurant was pretty busy, we didn't have to wait long to get seated. Our server was welcoming and quick, and our food came out pretty fast as well. The restaurant itself was clean, although the restroom did have a bit of a funky smell during our visit. I also liked that they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, everything went smoothly during our visit, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu! If you're in the area and looking for a brunch spot with lots of options, definitely give this place a try!
