Great place. The tomato-basil soup is reasonably priced and delicious, served with a nice garlic bread. Cheerful, friendly staff. Great ambience. The missing star is for the prices. Maybe they are economically justified by inflation, but they seem extreme even accounting for inflation. Makes one think of gasoline prices, which "go up like a rocket and come down like a feather." We have not had extreme inflation for a few years now. Well, I guess that's what the market will bear in this affluent little town. In any case, management takes a bit of the sting out of the high prices by offering several modestly priced sides. read more

This is one of my favorite coffee places in Marin. Unlike the Novato locations this one has a full menu with breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, and Mexican food in addition to pastries. I always get the tomato soup which is really good. This location has lots of space for seating, including an outdoor parklet. It can get quite busy in the summertime with all the mountain bikers. I wish they were open later; they used to be open until 6 now it's 5. In the summertime when it's still sunny out that seems so early which is a shame. read more

The pros: the coffee was good. The cons: disorganized order pick up - we ordered four drinks and they came out interspersed with orders from other customers. The space is uninviting and the hand soap in the bathroom wasn't usable. The dispenser appeared broken and the container of soap was on the counter. read more

I've never had a good experience here unfortunately. I've ordered too good to go orders and they told me that they don't participate. I've been given the wrong drinks. I never have a friendly cashier experience. However my daughter always has an amazing experience and loves this place. She is a frequent visitor and enjoys coming here with her friends so maybe it's me or the time I come in but it's a hit or miss. read more

Great food and service! Got a veggie burger with avo and a couple pastries that were excellent! Outside seating and dogs are welcome read more

Marin Coffee Roasters has a wonderful relaxed vibe. I met a friend there to study and love the environment. Staff is friendly and coffee hits all the right spots. This is my new go-to spot when I need a quiet place to write/study or people watch the passersby on the street. I look forward to trying other items on their menu! read more

They could've had a regular as I live in Fairfax. This place used to be great but now it's just ok. The blackboard was so much better than the new "computer" look of a menu. Made it feel like a cozy neighborhood coffee shop. But most importantly, the price was wrong on the menu, and the woman working there today said "oh well this is the price in the computer"... then didn't offer to honor the price and was generally unfriendly. Wouldn't you honor your price on the menu board if you made that big of a mistake as to write it wrong? That's just basic customer service. read more

Food, service and ambiance is ALL great! ;-) Nice locals hangout. Always kind, interesting preople to chat with, too. read more

Marin Coffee Roasters - Great way to start a saturday, with yummy food and AWESOME live music!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Anselmo, California

Inspired by my visit to Marin Coffee Roasters in Novato, I decided to check out their San Anselmo location on a Sunday--and it was honestly the perfect decision. The space is adorable, with live music in the back, a super welcoming, community vibe, and of course, their matcha was just as amazing as before. We grabbed a coffee and an almond croissant, and it was such a fun, relaxing experience. The café was lively but not crowded, mostly locals enjoying the space, and the street itself is super charming. Their food looked delicious too, and I can't wait to come back to try more. If you're visiting Marin, this is such a cute spot to start your day--highly recommend! read more

Loved! So busy and lively but you know that's all means good stuff. This latte was soooo creamy and perfectly sweet. Coffee is roasted in house and let me tell you it's some good coffee.

Quality coffee with quality service. I love getting the iced vanilla latte with oat milk here! So tasty

Very welcoming. Ample street parking (early at) and lots of table space, indoors or out. Great coffee and very good food. Ceramic/glass cups available if you're staying to enjoy your coffee. Had a yummy frittata and my dining partner tried the pesto toast with egg. Both were flavorful and plentiful. read more

Such a nice place to grab a quick bite for lunch! Eating outside on the parklet was quite lovely.

Love this place! Whenever I have a Saturday free this is my first stop and it should be yours too. Every Saturday morning from 10-12:30 the Treblemakers play and they are incredible, as well they should be and no, I am not going to tell you why. Hear for yourself. You never know who might sit it, and it happens often. The vibe is warm and welcoming as is the staff. My coffee order is always spot on and their baked goods are great and locally sourced. I have never had breakfast here but the food looks fresh and delicious. People watching and dog petting is great! I always run into people I know here and often make new friends. Indoor and outdoor seating. I try to patronize local businesses when I can and keep my $ in my community so this is a great choice for those that want to support the same. read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience here. I ordered a drink, waited around 30 minutes, and only then did they tell me they were out of what I ordered. Why not say that from the start? On top of that, the coffee isn't even that good to begin with, so the long wait felt like a complete waste of time. Definitely not worth it. read more

Great shop with a wide selection of teas, coffees and other drinks. My chai blend with oat milk (pictured) was quite nice. They also do breakfast and lunch which I haven t done yet. The two regular baristas have super nice chill personalities. Live music on some days rounds out a nice asset to the neighborhood. I don't drink coffee so can't comment on their Java. read more

I liked the atmosphere and the staff, but that's really all I have to say. There were flies in the bakery glass display which made me not want to order any desserts. We ended up getting a bagel but the inside was completely burnt. :( disappointing read more

Heard of it, read about it, haven't tried it until now. Now that I have, I wish I tried it a lot earlier. I like the vibe and liveliness this shop exudes. The only thing i didn't like was they didn't get my order correct, but I think the relatively loud live fun music made it understandable haha. I wanted a turmeric latte, but they gave me a regular latte instead. They got the veggie deluxe sandwich right though :) I'll be back! read more

Microwave everything?! Pre-make everything? I came with my daughter's family with 3 young boys to celebrate a 7yo birthday. There was nothing any of us would eat again, and much of what the young boys ordered was brought home in hopes of being eaten later. The adults are their breakfast croissants and bagels with reluctance just to not waste food. We will NEVER be back. I can't fathom why the line was so long. Clearly Marin County residents aren't very discriminating. (That said, my daughter's family are Marin County residents, and they won't be back. I have to wonder how many repeat customers they get.) read more

I stopped in here because I hadn't been here in a white and I remembered why I like it. Their white chocolate mocha was pretty good and felt like a warm hug. They have multiple locations and I would have to say this one is my favorite. I'm intrigued to try their food menu next time as they seem to have good options. read more

Very great place to spend time with friends and loved ones. Great cafe with wonderful staff and great coffee. Highly recommend Marin Coffee Roasters read more

Tasteless lunch in a nice setting. The frittata was cooked in thee microwave and had no sausage nor bell paper. The chicken salad was dry. Only the coffee was decent Great service read more

Ok, so they have sooooo many options for tea and coffee in bulk too. They have the best baguette sandwiches and I think the caprese is my favorite. read more

This place is awesome, but they need to change the hours. it shows open at 6:00 AM on Sunday, but I just went and got turned away, they open at 6:30 AM. The door was open, and the music was on, all the lights were on, and it certainly looked open. The employee told me those hours are from pre-pandemic. read more

What a great stop. Had a spinach omlette that was light and fluffy. Came with a larger portion of potatoes and my friend said he normally asks for fruit salad instead. Being on Keto I broke down and ate the whole plate....full disclosure it was extra delicious with the crispy skin and buttery interior. The service was efficient and I really appreciated the self serve water topped up with plenty of ice. Can't wait to come back and get through more of the menu b read more

Marin Coffee Roasters - The counter where it all happens - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Anselmo, California

This muffin in the photo is warm... "out of the oven" warmly 7 am ...not heated up. So when I tell you it is fantastic ...a perfect balance of texture and sweet... Do you know that I am under the influence of falling in love with the coffee house In the photo... You are also looking at a mug! Yes actual ceramic. No paper! With Covid restrictions... it is pretty rare that they take the time to clean and sanitize their dishware ...to give that nostalgic pre-Covid experience. This place is the real deal! It is not just that they have the best decaf espresso... Which is very hard to do... But the food is delicious! Try the lox and bagel sandwich. Or the pesto eggs. The ambience is outstanding... Cozy And welcoming. A great community feel. But the most important thing is that the the staff ...(shout out to Kayla and Ross!) ...is so friendly. Over the top friendly. And it actually feels genuine!If you're having a ho-hum morning... Coming here it will definitely be a "state - changer" read more

We really wanted to like this place - cute beans roasting in the window? How enticing! But the coffee (the star of the show) was...worse than your average gas station. The quality is just really low, and has a very artificial taste. If you really enjoy a good (emphasis on the previous word) cup of coffee like we do, please keep looking. As google would say -- search on. read more

I've never had positive experiences here but I decided to try it again because I was in the area. They completely forgot about my latte and I had to remind them to make it. It was a Saturday morning and not busy at all. The staff are friendly and it seems like a well liked local spot but the coffee is not great and service is disorganized. read more

What an amazing experience!!!! The service professional and super hospitable!!! Don't have more superlatives to describe the great feeling we had at this place. All the bakery cakes were amazing and we took the berries scone, the chocolate brownie, chocolate chip cookie and another one (like a croissant with chocolate inside that was divine). The coffee was just like we like it (with lots of foam and extra milk), the tea was large enough for two to share and the strawberries smoothie was very good. In short, expect to see us back any time we're around. read more

Was super excited to finally try this place after receiving a couple gift cards. We went and ordered our food there seeing as we had a large order for work. The place is clean, the staff super friendly, and food was great! Shorted one star only because my Pear & Walnut salad was missing the pear, which was a bit sucky. However I would happily go back. read more

Marin Coffee Roasters is one of my hometown's many great local cafes. My go-to place for the last year or so, I love dropping in for a cup of Joe while people-watching and taking advantage of their high-speed WiFi offering. On this trip, I decided to change it up and try their equivalent of Starbucks' mocha frappacino. The actual name escapes me at the moment, but it was basically the same idea. To be honest, I actually like the Starbucks version better as they tend to blend them a bit smoother and the turn out less icy than the Coffee Roasters' take on it. There are a few things that I would modify about the overall package of Marin Coffee Roasters' offering such as making it more laptop friendly, but all in all, it's another great example amongst the abundant Marin cafes.

YAY for decaf Americanos! While their smalls are the size of a bucket (yas!) I can appreciate every ones need for caffeine. I loved the interior decor, it felt very cozy despite stopping in quickly for some coffee. Staff was friendly and it wasn't packed, which may have been because of how early it was on a Saturday. My Americano was perfect in and didn't taste too bitter or burnt (like some other place do), which was great and I appreciated the fact that they actually did make it decaf (again... unlike some places, which is a huge no no). If I am ever in Fairfax again, I'll be sure to stop in. read more

You would think with a name like 'Marin coffee roasters' they would have a good coffee right? I mean that why I go to coffee roasters, to get good coffee beans... So I know the place, I've been there several times over the years. But I have been taking my coffee relatively seriously for the past 5 years, and taking great care as to what I put in my body. Part of that is finding very skilled roasters, and there aren't that many in Marin County. I just bought a new grinder and wanted to break it in, so I stopped in there as I had other business in San Anselmo. I got the Costa Rican, which has been a preferred region for me in the past. The young lady that helped me was very sweet, but she took forever to fill my order. I stood there waiting, while she prepared two other drinks before actually filling my coffee order. I was surprised by this. Obviously some woman's coffee milkshake is more important than my whole bean order. I was offered a cup of coffee with my order, and the drip coffee I got tasted burnt, i.e. the beans were over roasted, and it clearly came out in the flavor of the coffee. When I open my bag of whole beans, they smelled burnt as well. When I ground the beans, they smelled burnt and missed the delicate nuances of Costa Rican coffee. When I got home, I made three batches of pour over varying temperature and grind size, and they all tasted burnt. I understand this place has a following, and it looks like they sell more food than actual coffee. Like I said, when I go to a place that's called 'blank' coffee roasters, I expect good coffee. This is not the case here. If you want good roasted coffee beans, find somewhere else... read more
