Top-flight breakfast here. The pancake was the surprise. They were crispy light and had real fruit in them, butter on top...really nice ... The eggs and bacon were good too of course, and it's a cute little place, I'd for sure come here again for breakfast read more

Second time here and everything was consistently mediocre/poor on both visits about a month apart. Decently clean. Mediocre food. Poor service from the well-fed Latina with copper hair. This restaurant leans on their location for business rather than quality food/service. Going to try and different breakfast place next time. read more

Visited Sausalito for the day and decided to eat brunch here. We arrived at around 10am on a saturday and to our surprise, we only had to wait 10 minutes for 8 of us to be seated outdoors on their patio. For the most part, the patio was shaded with some umbrella coverage. In preparation for a hike, we opted to eat safe and light. We ordered the Lighthouse omelette, which has mushrooms, ham, onions, and cheese. That tasted amazing! The egg, right when it came out,, looked like it was whipped and fluffy. You could see the glistening of the (maybe butter) in the eggs. Each bite was a creamy and light egg with the mushrooms, onions, and cheese carrying the flavor. They were pretty busy, so sometimes it was hard to get a hold of a waitress, but I know they were trying their best to take care of us! It was cool to see the "Danish connection" with diverse menu items such as the open-faced herring sandwiches. Maybe we can try these next time! read more

This place is amazing!! Had never heard of it before, but smelled the bacon as I was biking past and had to stop off on my way back through Sausalito. It was fast and busy, a rare combo. Service was awesome and everyone seemed to be getting a jump on the day an enjoying a solid diner style breakfast. Food was perfect. Definitely getting the blueberry pancakes next time, but couldn't fit all that on the bike. read more

Had a wonderful time, food was really good and service was great. Look forward to going back. Had the three sausage omelette could only finish half, I would definitely get it again. I always love having breakfast on a countertop. read more

The food was ok, just not enough selections. The waitress was busy on her phone and talking to her coworkers. Had to get dishwasher/busboy bring us more coffee. read more

Arrived at 10am on Sunday, party of 2. We waiting in line for about 10 min before sitting at one of their outdoor tables. We had outstanding service from the waitress who was helping us. She made sure we had everything we needed, and was so sweet! We both got eggs Benedict, which are only available for Brunch on the weekend. They were delicious! The only thing to note is that the prices are quite expensive. We spent $65 after tax on our two meals, 1 coffee, and a side of toast. read more

My buddy chose this place for our big breakfast before our big hike. I fully approve. I got the ultimate breakfast and it comes with a huge mixed fruit pancake that I split with my buddy. He got a spicy scramble. We hiked 31 miles and frankly didn't really need to fuel up during the hike so this breakfast really did the job. Casual. Great service. Cozy. Street parking. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

I thought that the service was friendly, fast. I appreciated that they checked on us as well.. The food was pretty good, very tasty..I really liked my Philly sando and potato salad..I did think it could have had more filling..It was lacking filling..But it was very tasty.. My guy had the Corned Beef Hash and he said it was pretty good. We enjoyed our visit to the LightHouse. BTW, we sat on the patio with our dog. I appreciate dog friendly outdoor spaces..Thankyou read more

Cute little local breakfast spot with tasty dishes and friendly faces. Seating outside is nice and covered and the service is attentive.

My wife and I went to the "Lighthouse Cafe" today and had a great experience. The waitress was great and cooks were right in front of us. We sat at the counter. There was a line outside the door, but we didn't have to wait on seating because of the counter space. There is seating inside as well as outside. It has a family vibe making it a great place to dine. The food was also great. My wife had a banana pancake with hash browns and I had egg Benedict. If you're looking for a great place to go and get good food try Lighthouse. All in all, I give light house four stars read more

Visited this spot on a Saturday morning with two friends and although there was a long line to get a table (~10 folks in front of us), we were sat in ~20 min. The staff was attentive to get our orders as soon as possible, but once we received our food it was a bit hard to get their attention for additional request. However, the place was very busy, which might have played a role. We ordered the Augustin's stuffed hash brown, the Annette's scrambled eggs and the Raspberry pancakes. The Augustin's stuffed was for sure the top plate. The hash browns were crunchy and the stuffing was very tasty, just perfect! The raspberry pancakes were ok, nothing unique or memorable about them. Lastly the Annette's scrambled eggs were good, the sausage is a bit spicy, but it balances out with the rest of the flavors. Overall, would revisit this spot for the Augustin's stuffed hash brown, they were so tasty! Important to note, they have outdoor pet friendly seating if that's of interest. read more

Tasty Sourdough; tasty taters. Arrived early, went right in and grabbed a booth. Well coordinated service, open kitchen with a counter. I was hoping for a greasy spoon, mom n pop...what I found was clean and bright, looked relatively recently refreshed with newer booths. Patio seating outdoors. As others mentioned: small bathroom, multitasking waitress on the phone, potentially long wait and no sign up sheet, just wait outside...and tourist priced. But the food was good, perfect portions. Look forward to trying the pancakes and breakfast burrito next time. read more

Road Trip for the weekend and So happy we ran into this Cafe spot for brunch. Located in the cute town in Sausalito, Ca! Super cute little lighthouse. Plenty of street parking when we arrived. There was a small line outside the cafe but not much of a wait as they have seating indoors and outdoors. We were asked what we preferred and we went with outdoors. Our server started off with our drinks while we looked at the menu. We ordered Huevos rancheros, Eggs benedict, some pancakes. They had fresh squeezed orange juice which the kids loved and unlimited coffee for us coffee drinkers. everything was10/10 absolutely delicious. the servers were nice and friendly. we will definitely be stopping by again when in town. read more

Absolutely amazing food. Probably one of the best breakfasts I've had, ever. Definitely worth the wait as there is often a line outside. Pricing is good for the quality and serving size, and the ambience is old school Americana. read more

Excellent breakfast in Sausalito! We were driving through and happened to see this cute restaurant/coffee shop and decided to have some breakfast. Walking in we knew it was going to be excellent as it was busy first thing in the early morning with locals. Hostess/waitress was very friendly and got us served immediately. The cooks were so fast and the food came out to perfection. If we ever go to the area again I would absolutely stop by read more

Warm and friendly staff. Easy to locate because they have a lighthouse on site. Good food. Sausalito is nice.

Little brunch spot on the coast of Sausalito. Wait in a short line to get in. There is no wait list or reservations. There's a counter, some indoor booths and a little outdoor patio. Would not recommend for a large group because it's quite small. Service was a little cold, but not bad. They didn't really say hello or acknowledge us, but they got us everything we needed and we didn't have to wait long. Coffee was good, and so was the food. I really enjoyed the crab and lobster melt, which was like a grilled cheese mixed with a lobster roll? The clam chowder was not the best ever but still good! My kids enjoyed the Mickey pancake which was quite cute. Would recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick brunch with a friend or two. read more

The food i s still great. I love the Crab and Lobster Sandwich.The reception is is something else. They need to make a better way of greeting and making customers line up. One of the server is a little bossy and doesn't know how to be cordial.They have a lot of people lining up so she can get sassy. The seats outside could be nice to look at but when the breeze comes in, it's cold. read more

At this day and age, how could they not offer ANY non-dairy options for coffee? And sweeteners are only sugar, Sacharin and Splenda. It's kind of like being in a diner from the nineties but with 2026 prices. A small cup of coffee is $5.75. So far no one has come by to offer refills. We ordered eggs 25 minutes ago and still not out. Just asked the waitress and she said they are cooking hashbrowns for the entire restaurant and haven't even started our order on their single grill. She actually told us, "it's always like this." read more

10/10 absolutely loved it here! Good old fashion diner interior with a cute blue exterior that matched the town of Sausalito! It's such a cute spot, very small interior so don't really recommend coming in a huge group but perfect for small families or groups of 2-3! Service was great, you can tell they are attentive of who is a regular and who is new in town haha. They're all so kind and patient, quick service and food came in under 10 minutes! All the food listed is 10/10, would highly recommend stopping by here for food and then walking over to the main strip to stroll, grab a coffee or ice cream and shop. - Clam Chower was a favorite of mine and my boyfriend. We both agreed it's better than SF clam chowder bowls! It's super thick as apposed to being creamy but not in a nasty way. It's very hearty and filled with potato in each bite. Loved it!! - Large pancake was 10/10, the edges were crisped up (which I love) and the blueberries popped with each bite. No complaints, perfectly sweet and delicious. - House potatoes 8/10 nothing to write about but very delicious with the hot sauce provided on the table! Yum yum yum. Would recommend coming here earlier in the day, but if there's a line don't be scared! It's so worth the wait. Prices are not scary and you're getting so much food for your buck! read more

Stopped in for brunch on a weekend and waited a bit to be seated but wasn't terrible. It's cute and has some indoor and outdoor seating. Once we got seated our servers were on it with ordering and bringing out food. We tried the lox bagel and the stuffed hash browns. The lox was delicious but felt like very little lox and sliced super thin on the bagel for the price. The hash browns were good and filling with the eggs and toast that came with it. Hash browns were cooked nicely and twist on breakfast. We wanted to order the bottomless mimosas that were on the menu but stated they don't serve any alcohol at this location. Misleading to have a menu to doesn't apply to the location or say that specifically. It also would've been nice to be able to sign in for a table and not have to stand exactly in line the entire time. Cute place and food was good tho. read more

I first came to this cafe when I was 15 years old. Almost 10 years later, it was nice to come back with my parents and little brother and enjoy a delicious meal again. The service was truly commendable. The waitress was friendly along with the rest of the staff. You truly get that homey, cafe feel sitting in one of the booths. There seems to be two Lighthouse restaurants in the area. This one is located next to a flower shop. Just look for the little lighthouse structure and you're in the right place. Too bad I live 10 hours away from this spot. I would be going every day if I lived in Sausalito! It's a gem in my eyes. read more

A great little place to have breakfast after a redeye flight into SFO. I loved that there were locals and tourists alike. The service made me feel like I was in someone's home - attentive and authentic. We were drawn to the menu which had a nice diverse selection without being overwhelming. My friend opted for the mixed fruit pancake with a side order of bacon, and I got Jose's Mexican Scrambled, all of which were enjoyable and filling. Would definitely return. read more

We loved this place. From the warm greeting to the cozy ambiance, this is the place where I want to have a hot breakfast. The service was friendly and efficient. And then there is the food. I will say it's one of the best cooked u have had. The stuffed hash browns and corned beef hash were excellent. We also had a great blueberry pancake. If you are look for a great breakfast spot, give Lighthouse a try. Highly recommended. read more

Love the interior as an old school diner with classic brunch food. They have both indoor dining and a patio which is perfect for smaller groups. Parking was not too bad on the street for a Saturday morning. The service was great with the friendly staff being patient and checking in on us. I ordered the crab and lobster Benedict which came with hash browns and fresh fruits. It looked small when they brought it over but it was very filling. I thought that it was a bit too heavy for my liking - overall not bad food but nothing too crazy. My friend who ordered the banana pancakes thought that was the best dish so I guess next time I visit I will have to give my sweet tooth a try. But overall, it is a nice little cafe that's worth checking out! read more

The lighthouse Café serves the best breakfast anywhere. In our entire lives, my wife and I have never had a better breakfast. We give a lot of credit to the Vietnamese family which runs the restaurant. Best breakfast place in Sausalito by a long shot. We guarantee you will not be disappointed. Their patio is also dog friendly by the way. read more

Food:Good. Fresh. Hot. Walked in, greeted and seated right away on a Sunday morning. The smells were amazing! I ordered the sausage and cheese Omelette. It was packed with three types of sausage, cheese and mushrooms. Home fries were outstanding. I was so very pleased with my choice. Dining partner had eggs over med with toast and the eggs could not have been cooked any better. She was a happy girl! The service was prompt and pleasant. We sat outside on their patio area with perfect weather as passer-bys looked over and drooled as we ate our wonderful breakfast. Was pleasantly surprised to find this quaint little comfortable place to eat breakfast in Sausalito. Stop by and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed. read more

Lighthouse Cafe - Ultimate Breakfast with Banana Pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sausalito, California

This is a cute little cafe! We had the friendliest service at 8 am on a Sunday morning. We had just driven into town from Reno and wanted some breakfast before heading to the Marin headlands. We were in luck as the street parking meters don't start until 9 am. Our little ones had fun sitting on the stools at the counter. I ordered the traditional breakfast with a pancake (raspberry), eggs, hash browns, toast, and sausage. Everything was delicious but the pancake was especially perfect! Fluffy and flavorful. The hash browns were okay but everything else was great. The bathroom was tiny but clean. read more

Lighthouse Cafe - Bacon cheese omelet and hash browns - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sausalito, California

Great brunch spot! Came here on MLK day and they were open their usual Monday hours. I got a delicious breakfast burrito which seemed like a good deal compared to their regular menu items. The breakfast burrito they only do Monday to Friday. It was super yummy and came with chorizo, cheese, and egg. They had good hot sauce at the table. Also got a mocha and that included free coffee refills after I finished the first cup. Service was attentive and friendly even though they were really busy! Got seated inside after a few minutes wait, but it definitely seems like seating is pretty limited, so there may be a wait time depending on when you arrive. read more

Been here multiple times and have enjoyed the food and the people here. Great atmosphere and fantastic service all around! Came here on an afternoon and it was still busy. Got the lighthouse omelette with hash browns and sourdough bread and wow! Such basic ingredients made into the delicious meal! The eggs were super fluffy, melted with cheese, and paired so well with grilled onions and ham. Every bite was so flavorful. And their hash browns were so crispy! While every ingredient was so delicious, I will say their sourdough bread was the star. Literally just bread, but made fresh. It was so freaking good I could not believe it. Must get the sourdough bread! read more
