After ordering (The Sausalito) she smiled and said "Okay. Take your time. I make sandwich now" with a kind smile. The sandwich was pretty good too. I got it on D/K bread, which it took me forever to put together means dark bread. As in dark on the outside. Great price, especially as compared to the two $$ places around the area with menu pieces twice higher. Only wish it had a little more chicken, and I'm not so sure about the red peppers.

Service was prompt, friendly and accommodating (they brought a cup of water for my bestie (see pic). There was an odd thing... they have you go inside to pay for your order, before you receive your food. Presume it's because they do take out. The server put a number on my table so food is delivered correctly. A good thing... the server repeated my order back to me with all the instructions for what was ordered and how it was to be prepared. I'd say this is a no frills cafe, serving a solid breakfast, served by prompt and courteous staff.

We queued up before ordering two lattes, a bacon burrito and a mango protein smoothie. Grabbed a table in their back patio (yey for dog-friendly dining!) to enjoy our breakfast. The lattes were solid and the breakfast burrito was definitely repeatable. Basic patio space, but it does have trees and is semi-sheltered from street noise. A great spot to meet up for a weekend catch-up!

A new level of fun is when you're greeted by a huge rainbow as you walk in to this new location! What a delightful experience.

All 3 were delicious and smelled so good! I loved the setup; it was very calm and relaxing. Service was a bit slow since there was only 1 worker but she was so kind and patient. Smoked Salmon Toast: very refreshing. Loved the cream cheese, cucumber and Smoked salmon with chives (I believe). Perfect for a quick meal. Honey Brie Truffle Toast: not overly sweet but definitely refreshing. Loved the slices of Brie and the splashes on honey. Avocado Toast: very creamy and definitely had a thick avocado smear.

Sip & Bite Cafe Rocks!…read more Extremely fresh offerings from from a variety of toasts, coffees, Gelato, drinks, lemonade and much much more! My wife and I were in San Rafael for the afternoon and I was exploring with our canines Winnie & Stimpy in Downtown San Rafael while she had an appointment near by. Honestly, we looked at houses in the neighborhood 20 years ago before settling in our Potrero Hill Victorian in San Francisco. There seems to eat some familiar San Francisco establishments here, but I was looking for a "neighborhood gem". I "parked" the pups at the well shaded entrance and gave them water. I was drawn in by the posters displaying the three toasts. I am a self admitted smoked salmon "snub" but if the actual salmon toast was half as tasty as the photo then I had a winner! Also, the sound of fresh lemonade got my attention as well. I ordered the owner Ruchir who greeted me with hospitable and generous smile. I ordered the salmon toast which was prepared with very fresh salmon, sliced cucumbers and cream cheeses. It was incredible looking and tasting! Wow! Even another customer saw it and said "that looks amazing!" It was indeed not only lived up to the enticing poster, but was perhaps one of the BEST salmon toast I have EVER had across the globe. Even better than a well known San Francisco bakery with visit often. Wow! Wow! WOW! I asked Ruchir if I could take some photos while I waited for my order. He was very generous in asking if I wanted to sample some of the homemade Gelato. Oh course! Well, we honeymooned in Italy so I KNOW excellent Gelato and Sip & Bite Cafe has sourced exceptional choice including mango. Turkish coffee. Delicious! Ruchir shared they have only been opened for a few months and they ONLY offer the freshest Ingedients and explain how they roast their coffee beans. Of course I then ordered a cappacino! Excellent! If you are near San Rafael or driving to order from Napa its worth the stop at Sip & Bite Cafe for a refreshing cappacino, made to order lemonade or toast! Tell Ruchir Mike says "hi" and enjoy! #minionhousesf
