Banana bread- little sweet
Hnin A.

Equator Coffee in Mill Valley is a great spot for high-quality coffee. The beans are incredibly fresh and aromatic, and you can really taste the difference. We ordered a couple of seasonal drinks and they were delicious well balanced and thoughtfully crafted. Definitely worth a visit if you appreciate good coffee. The server was friendly. There are a few seats inside. if you enjoy watching people walk by and hang out, Outdoor seating is also available.

Absurdly long wait for coffee on a weekend, but they have above average and enjoyable lattes here. Would come back for their lattes for sure.

Donut with sprinkles
Victor D.

I ordered it a donut with sprinkles and an autumn spice cold brew cream. They were quick to make my order and the drink was similar to other fall beverages. The donut was really good. It was fresh and soft and not too sweet. There is inside seating.

Recommend the Habibi Latte with orange blossom, cardamom, clove, vanilla, espresso, and steamed milk. Fantastic mix of flavors and not too sweet! However, the chai tea was mediocre, I was expecting much more flavor in the drink. Maybe it was too much milk, but it felt mild in flavor. This location is extremely busy, so the wait can be quite long during lunch time and peak hours. There are some indoor and outdoor seating, but gets filled very quickly. Nice interior setting with lots of wooden furniture.

Delicious coffee is served here. On a rainy day while on a mini vacation in Tiburon we came here for a stroll and stopped by for coffee at Equator. I ordered the habibi latte, asked for half the sweetness and loved every sip of it. This was one cup of amazing delicious coffee. Walking with this warm coffee and enjoying the scenery of mill valley was great. Customer service was friendly, the ambiance was great. Lots of people enjoying their Sunday afternoon in their neighborhood cafe ... I also purchased a bag of single origin medium roast coffee to enjoy at home.

Veggie Breakfast Frittata Sandwich
Sara S.

After a nice walk in Muir Woods, the excellent coffee and fantastic Veggie frittata sandwich were voluntarily accepted. Im still dreaming of that sandwich and the coffee was soo yummy. Not only were there several vegetarian options but they even had an option to add meatless bacon!!!! That never happens! Especially at a coffee place... I liked that there was both - clean - interior and exterior searing as well.

Iced strawberry Iced Matcha Latte
Spencer H.

This iced strawberry matcha latte was amazing. Best one I've ever had. The place was packed all day. The line wraps around outside. The service is done with a smile and they let you know the wait will be long. There is seating inside with padded benches and non padded chairs. Small tables and some larger ones. Outside seating is great, blankets and bar style tables. Dog friendly place. So many doodles. Everyone was so nice at the cafe. I went back the next day to get another iced strawberry matcha latte and the almond croissant was delicious.

Avocado and Brie & Avocado Waffle (GF) Fresh Blueberry Waffle (GF)
Adam G.

There's something magical about starting your day with a brisk Mill Valley misty walk that ends at the OG Equator location. Think third wave coffee meets regional expansion. Roast is middle dark for house but they have a few seasonal or single origins to try. They also have a great collection of pastries, some non-coffee drinks, and my personal favorite - gluten free waffles. To my dismay... I learned they stopped carrying my absolute favorite waffle, the Avocado and Brie, a savory and tangy masterpiece. But then McKenzie, the new girl behind the counter saved my day/week/year by asking the staff to make me one special. It's the little things in life, and this was a perfectly timed glimmer. Thanks McKenzie and thanks Equator. (P.S. Bring the avo brie back on the menu!)

(Chris Helmsworth voiceover) The vibe is best cafe in Marin! Clyde warmly greeted us despite the sweltering hot day! We wanted something cold and seasonal. They were out of Strawberry Lemonade and so ran with his other faves. Arnold Palmer. Wowza! Refreshing! Now I feel like golfing! Butterfly Lemonade. Mesmerizing! Purple, effervescent liquid nourishment! Tart! I love it! Would order everything again! Thanks, Clyde! Woohoo!

Matcha Latte, Olive Oil Orange Cake
Connie W.

Equator Coffees is such a dreamy coffee shop in Mill Valley! It's in the heart of a cute area of Mill Valley with lots of boutiques and restaurants around. There isn't much seating inside but there's an open concept to it (at least when the weather is nice), so the outdoor seating feels connected to the indoors. I got the iced matcha latte and olive oil orange cake. The matcha was good but nothing special, and the pastry was delicious!! We sat outside, people watched, and enjoyed the beautiful weather and our goods. I would definitely stop by here again next time I'm in the area, the vibes were just too good!!

This is my favorite equator location. Not for people watching (go to their Miller Ave location for…read morethat), & not because the drinks are somehow better here or anything; Equator drinks are consistent throughout all of their locations. It's THIS particular location... On CA-1 in Mill Valley, it's so conveniently on the way to downtown Mill Valley, Stinson Beach, Point Reyes...etc, etc. But regardless of where you're going, stopping in here feels like you're on vacation. Beach/ocean/surf culture. The vibe is a thousand percent beach hut/surf shop, even with no actual beach in sight. How charming is that? Somehow browsing surfboards, even when you don't surf, assuages that unfulfilled dream, or fuels your standing wanderlust. Did you know that Thomas Keller serves Equator coffee at all of his properties? They partnered up 25 years ago, & equator even does special blends at certain TK restaurants. Even though Equator is available at grocery stores now, you should still come here. 5 star coffee in another 5 star location

There was a decent amount of parking available & we were quickly able to order / get our coffee even though there were a few people ahead of us already. We got the Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Shakerato, Cardamom & Chocolate Fika Bun, & The Habibi Latte which were all great. There was a good amount of seating outside as well which was set up really nice / looked cute. Also, after visiting I learned Equator is a BCorp and actually the first B Corp roaster in CA. Love supporting a business whose food not only tastes good but who also does good for the community!

I almost don't want to write this review because this is the kind of place you selfishly want to…read moregatekeep. I found myself here after yet another underwhelming stop at Cafe Verde -- which people recommend to me constantly. And every time I go, I leave confused. It's rarely full. The pricing is steep. And the attitude sometimes feels like, "There will always be another customer." So I walked a few minutes down the street and ended up at Endless Coffee. Different universe. I've had their coffee. I've had their specialty drinks. I've had their matcha multiple times now -- and it's $6. Six. In Corte Madera. Meanwhile, the $10 matcha down the street isn't even in the same league in terms of quality or balance. That price-to-quality ratio alone should have a line out the door. The space is small -- about five tables inside, four outside -- but it works. There are always a few parking spots nearby. It feels local in a real way, not a curated way. I see familiar baristas when I go in, but I also notice new team members. It feels like a business that's growing, adjusting, trying to get better. They have a rewards program. They're clearly refining their systems. And most importantly, the service never feels complacent. No one acts like they're doing you a favor by taking your order. You're acknowledged. You're treated like your business matters. That difference is subtle -- but it's everything. I genuinely do not understand how this place isn't consistently packed while others with higher prices and less warmth are. If you care about quality, value, and being treated like an actual guest, this is the spot in Corte Madera. Skip the hype. Walk a few extra steps. Order the matcha.

This is a cute little coffee shop! We have always seen it and finally were able to try it. If…read moreyou're looking for a sugary, Starbucks, chain coffee spot, I'm not sure this place is for you. This is strong, coffee forward, coffee. lol if that makes sense. The quality is amazing. The staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful. We enjoyed our drinks and will be back when in the area. Thank you for a great experience!
