Stopped by Equator coffees in Mill Valley before our hike as it was one of the few places open early in the morning. 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!
Food: - Items: Red Velvet Matcha Latte, Habibi Latte - The red velvet matcha latte was not great, it left a weird aftertaste in my mouth and the red velvet part I could barely taste (3/10) - The Habibi Latte was much better, I could definitely taste some more spices and was overall much more enjoyable, which I would hope since they advertised it on a huge board right outside the shop (9/10) - 6/10 Service: - The servers were nice and served our drinks pretty quick - 9/10 Ambiance: - It's a cute coffee shop in Mill Valley's downtown - Parking is decent although I imagine it would be hard during weekends - Nice interior, could definitely study there if you wanted to, although I'm not sure if there are a lot of plug points - 8/10 Overall Rating: 6.5/10
Their coffees are pretty good. Service is hit or miss. The place is always busy, but, they move quickly!
We stopped by Equator Coffees on our way to hike Mount Tam, and the interior was very cute! I liked the surfboard on the ceiling, and the pastry selection looked super promising. I ordered the Autumn Spice Latte off the seasonal menu, which was ready pretty quickly. It was sufficiently strong, but the "Autumn Spice" flavor was pretty subtle. Staff members were friendly and cheerful despite the early time of day. Would return to try more items!
Received a gift card to this regional coffee shop so thought I'd stop in this location before visiting friends nearby. What a delightful delicious experience! I was greeted with a friendly smile and patience, as I looked over the varied menu. I got a chai tea latte and savory pull apart muffin. The chai tea latte tasted like the perfect blend of spice and milk froth. The muffin had the tastiest combo of prosciutto, herbs, and veggies baked in. Was a delish experience on outdoor seating in the back where locals enjoyed lively fun conversation.
Was heading to Muir Woods and needed a little caffeine boost beforehand. This place is centrally located right off the 1 freeway but it also means it's a bit hard to turn into depending on the direction you're coming from. They have some parking, we found a spot easily off to the side of the cafe. They have lots of baked goods, including locally sourced pastries like donuts and bagels. I got a seasonal iced shakerato, three shots of espresso w oat milk and brown sugar. I was a little surprised when my drink came out that there was so much room on top, but I guess that's just how they do things here. It was good and definitely not too sweet at all which I was worried about. Nicely balanced drink.
Lovely service from knowledgeable baristas! Even lovelier coffee. I got the iced almond pride and joy and it is one of my new favorite coffees. That first sip feeling absolutely hit! Wonderful atmosphere to do work, catch up with friends, or make a roadtrip pit stop!
Whenever I carpool with my coworker to work, we always grab coffee before heading into the office. He knew I'd never been to the Equator and suggested we stop here for a quick caffeine fix. I've only heard good things about Equator Coffees, so I looked forward to trying it! This is the original location of Equator Coffees. The atmosphere is mellow, with surfboards, photos of the ocean, and other nature decor. I enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. Along with the ordering area, there's merchandise for sale, plus indoor and outdoor seating. Many customers were either chatting, working, or taking their drinks to go. Since it's a popular spot, the timeliness of drinks can vary. We didn't wait too long, and the service was overall lovely. I have always loved trying signature drinks, so I got The Habibi Latte with Oat Milk. The drink was phenomenal--a prominent orange blossom taste and smooth and creamy. Their coffees typically come in double shots, but I asked for a single shot. I'd order it again for sure! The only thing was the size of the drink. For paying $6.50 (without tip), I was pretty surprised the small was the size of my hand. The cup said 8oz, but I could've sworn the smalls were 10oz! For coffee lovers, Equator Coffees is nestled in Proof Lab in Tam Junction. Parking can be found behind the coffee shop. This is their first of many locations where the drinks and service are good. I'm glad we got our caffeine before work, and I wouldn't mind coming back!
We were in town and stopped by to get some coffee and a quick snack. I noticed on the reviews that this place was dog friendly. Side note,we had just taken my dogs to a local dog park. A lot of the reviews mentioned rude service,so I was a little hesitant. The girl taking our order was friendly and didn't say anything about us bringing our dogs inside. It's a small shop,but has plenty of seats,both inside and outside. We of ordered some iced lattes and a almond croissant. The croissant was surprisingly good for a coffee shop pastrie. It was filled with a thick layer of almond paste. The ice lattes were ok , little too much coconut flakes.
Love coming to Equator Coffee! Their matcha latte is one of my favorites! They ask if you'd like the matcha latte sweetened or not, and I always get it sweetened; and then add the vanilla cold foam. The latte is so flavorful, and perfect amount of sweetness. Really enjoy coming here!
Equator Coffee in Mill Valley is such a charming café! Their Swedish cinnamon buns are heavenly, and the matcha latte is my favorite treat. A perfect spot to relax, people-watch, and see bikers stopping by after a ride. They even have a complimentary coffee tasting coming up in November.
This place is right next to Hook Fish/ Proof Lab on Shoreline in Mill Valley. Parking can be tough and getting in/out as well since there's always traffics on that highway. When I went on a Sunday afternoon, there was a 10min wait to get my drink. I think they were short staffed or didn't anticipate on the crowd. I think a lot of the people came from waiting to get into the restaurant next door. That was the main reason I stopped in here for a coffee. I heard about Equator coffee but never had it. I ordered a mocha and it was really. The staff was nice. Nothing to complain about. I would highly recommend the coffee here. The place was cute. There's seating indoors and outdoors. Inside they have artwork on the walls by local artists. Seemed clean and bustling.
First timer here; stopped by for morning coffee. Service wasn't great. We looked like we were their biggest annoyance simply by ordering coffee. The coffee was incredibly milked down, we didn't finish it. Skip this place, there's other coffee shops nearby.
Had a very nice experience when I came here to get my coffee while on my way to John Muir Woods. Inside is small, but they had pup style seating and little tables. They also had some tables outside, but it was too cold for me. I ordered a hot banana caramelized latte, which was so amazing. It really hit the spot. It warmed me up inside and the banana flavor was very comforting. Everyone was very nice inside and my coffee was done in a decent time. Didn't really have to wait too long which was kind of nice since I had a reservation at john muir. read more

A solid coffee and breakfast spot! Very impressed by their savory breakfast items. Have tried their .. -croissant breakfast sandwich, comes with side of their delicious equator hot sauce (10/10) - Farmers breakfast. Good potatoes, bacon, bread, well seasoned everything - Chimichurri steak sandwich, cooked to perfection Their coffee is equally good as well. They have lots of baked goods, lots of room indoors and outdoors with different rooms to sit at. This is a Sausalito must visit for me since I've discovered it. Good job Equator! read more

Almond butter banana waffle was SCRUMPTIOUS. Avocado toast was yummy, maybe a little bit small. the mocha was great, but the matcha was mediocre (a little milky). Overall good vibe and atmosphere. A little slow but they were pretty busy. read more

Stopped in for a quick afternoon pick me up - ended up getting a cold lavender foam cream coffee and a cherry blossom matcha. Both were delicious - I love lavender and the foam was truly delicious, tasted very natural and not overly sweet or fake. The cherry blossom was also quite tasty although one of my friends that tasted it said it was reminiscent of wax. I didn't think it tasted overly sweet or fake. Would get another coffee from here if we're in the area! read more

I really want to like it here because its close to my house but time and time again the iced lattes are wayyy too milky. The one pictured was with an extra shot of espresso- so 3 shots total. And so milky i couldn't even taste the coffee. The cold brew here is okay read more
Absolutely love this coffee shop!! I always stop here when going to do hikes at mount tamalpais! The coffee shop is super small and cozy on the side of the road! The coffee itself is super smooth and delicious flavor! I love that they have dog treats as your leaving which is always a plus for dog friendly restaurants! read more

Solid coffee! I love this cute little coffee shop up in Mill Valley. The drinks are consistent and they have a great array of drink options. I had the chai tea latte and it was great! I am a fan of spicy chai and it was on the spicier side (could've been spicier but it was good) but was impressed because most places are just super sweet. I also had a lavender vanilla latte with almond milk and it was great! I would do a different milk as the almond flavor overtook but still a win. read more

Love this coffee shop! Ordered a matcha shakerato before going out to hike at Mount Tam and it was the perfect caffeine boost. So smooth, creamy & delicious and loved the atmosphere. And they even have little dog treats to give to your pup! Great spot to visit when you're out in the north bay! read more

The parking lot is kinda tricky being an unpaved dirty road and shared with the surrounding businesses, so finding a spot is pretty competitive. The store is pretty small, with most of its seating placed outside as they're still very COVID-conscience. They don't have physical menus, the only one they had was the chalkboard located behind the cash register which was a but hard to read. I ended up looking at menu photos on yelp instead. The person taking my order was a bit rude- I was the only person in line, though I stood off to the side while trying to decide what to order, yet they asked me to wait outside if I wasn't ordering anything. Once you place your order, you wait outside in the outdoor patio area for them to place your drink on a table near their side-door. I got a vanilla iced latte with less ice- it was a good amount of sweet but comes with a lot of ice (even though I asked for light ice.) Love the coffee- it was strong without giving me the jitters that I usually get with strong beans. read more

I was in the area with friends attempting to visit Muir Woods. We turned back due to all the signs saying you need a reservation to park, which, we didn't have, and we ended up next to this coffee spot. It's a cute little red building that smelled like roasted coffee. Mmm. They have social distancing protocols in place for ordering with plastic shields in front of the counter. The spot seemed popular too as most of the food items were crossed off as not available. The coffee was delicious! Cheers to all and more happy adventures in San Francisco to come! Yes yes, I know, this was Mill Valley. But close to the city. Happy thanksgiving to everyone! read more
Came here for a late morning drink. I got the White peony hot tea. Yummy! I like that the tea came in a large cup. Worth the price. COVID measures were also in place (social distancing stickers, plexiglass between employees etc). I'll be back! read more
