Dogs are always welcome and you are in the quaint downtown Mill Valley - come on, it doesn't get much better!!! This coffee shop can sometimes get so busy there is a line out the door, which says it all, but the service under serious pressure just delivers and crushes every single day. If you are ever there ask for Clyde specifically - he's one of the superstars over there and you can tell he has his eye out to take care of his team and customers!!! Go check it out, you won't b disappointed in my opinion!!!

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

When we walked in first you walk past the pastry counter..The pastries were beautiful , but we didnt have one this time.. We both ordered The Mill Valley breakfast, that had baby fingerling potatoes, bacon, eggs over medium, and the toast..Wow I have to tell you the toast was a stand out..I like toast in general but the bread that they used, so good you have to try it..The bacon was great, the eggs were perfectly cooked, the potatoes as well..It was a perfect breakfast..It was a cute little place with a book store as well, which we did check out and bought 2 books.The outdoor seating was not only in front of the bookstore/restaurant..But they had plenty of tables inside and a back patio as well..

We've been supporting this small woman owned business for years and will NEVER step foot in this (or San Anselmo) establishment again!! Cashier worker Andrea was so nasty and confrontational and even had the lack of decency to be rude and nasty to my innocent by stander of a child!! I was nearly in tears over this workers verbal assault. I immediately rang the owner Heather. She didn't seem terribly bothered and thought our verbal assault from her employee would be rectified by offering us free drinks. No go! This didn't change the worker Andrea's attitude and death stares, not to mention we could hear her talking crap about us to other employees. The mouth and behavior of this employee is abominable and shouldn't be a behavior that we as supportive patrons should ever experience. Fortunately we have several gluten and dairy free options in Marin, so save yourself a verbal assault and go elsewhere.

We stopped by the Restaurant my first-born daughter took me for Mother's Day dining, bought a snack and a drink to go from the restaurant, and began "milling" perusing all the shops while snacking and drinking. I really love the chill vibe at Mill Valley Lumber Yard as a pit stop which will now become my ultimate roadtrip pit stop.

The Mill Valley Lumber Yard is a charming open-air market. We visited on a weekday after a local…read morehike, and while parking was busy, we managed to find a spot in the small single-lane lot just across the street. There are about half a dozen shops--unfortunately, the dog boutique I was excited to visit had recently moved to Murphy's, so we just missed them. Glad to see they relocated rather than closed! The other shops are the usual mix of cute but slightly overpriced boutiques. There's a crepe stand at one end, a coffee shop with sandwiches, salads, and bakery items, and a sit-down restaurant in the middle. Dogs are welcome to walk around, which is great, but I did notice a sign in a dirt area that said, "Do not pee here," with a picture of a dog. While I understand the sentiment, I'd honestly prefer my dog choose a dirt patch over the main pathway.

Don't assume you'll grab a place to sit, especially if you're visiting peak hours. The toast was good, but at $9 I expected something more memorable, so I'd skip that next time. I also overheard an issue at the register where a customer was told their ham croissant was no longer available because it had been given to someone else after they'd already ordered it. The staff offered to substitute something else but couldn't process a refund, and there weren't many other options. I would have been so disappointed if that were me! Overall, it was a decent experience, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

The coffee is amazing, the vibe is wonderful, and the people made such a difference today. Thank you so much for your kindness and help. It genuinely meant a lot and made me want to keep coming back.

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.
