This is my favorite equator location. Not for people watching (go to their Miller Ave location for that), & 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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

Friendly service and great coffee and the bagels are terrific. I'm told they have a good matcha but I opted for the shakerato which is outstanding! It's small and if you miss it you have to go all the way around to get in the parking lot. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Equator Coffees delivers delicious coffee and exceptionally good breakfast baked goods. This is for the Mill Valley location. For breakfast/brunch food, visit the Sausalito location. We stayed in Mill Valley for a couple of days and, for those who know me, coffee is the only thing on my mind from the time I wake up until I've had at least a 500ml dose. My doctor measures coffee level as a baseline indicator in my yearly blood panel. Well, I had my 500ml at the Mill Valley Equator Cafe and it was great, not good, GREAT coffee. If I didn't already have a coffee subscription delivered to my house, I would order Equator Coffee so take a bag home with you. The croissant I had tasted like it was made in Paris. Everything is clean and well run. Be prepared, this place is popular! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Got the signature Maple Black Sesame and some pastries. Delicious and a great drink to get the day started! However, the cashier in the morning was incredibly rude and glared at us right as we went up to the counter. Her attitude changed once the line picked up, which made us feel singled out. At least now we're awake. 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

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

The cashier couldn't have been ruder. It's like we were interrupting her day by asking how she was doing and ordering a coffee. However, it was one of the best lattes I've had in a long time. Delicious coffee. 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

The BLAT sandwich is terrific. The house chai is very good. The coffees are great. Unfortunately all of it arrives so slowly and haphazardly that it's an irredeemably painful experience visiting at any time of day. I've never seen a less efficient ratio of "people ostensibly making things" to "things being made". It doesn't matter whether the place is busy or empty, or which of the two dozen half-hearted order management strategies they're deploying that day: your drink is going to take an extremely long time to arrive. There will be no explanation or apology. That's just how it is. 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

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

Cute shop with pastries, breakfast and coffee. My favorite coffee shop to drop by on my way to any hikes in Mount Tam or any beaches nearby.

Despite the lines and small parking lot, coffee comes out quickly and you can get on with your day. read more

Good coffee. Very helpful and very kid-friendly and for adults they have wine and beer

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
