Love this bakery! The coffee is 10/10, the pastries are all delicious and their menu selection of food to order is great! Lots of sitting room inside and outside. Super cute location, very aesthetically pretty bakery, the outside is beautiful. Must try when you visit Marin country mart.

Ham & cheese quiche

Went there this morning and had their ham and cheese quiche and hot chocolate. The quiche was one of the best I've ever had. The hot chocolate was great also.

Nice little bakery/cafe. My sister lives up the hill so it's super close by. Nice selection of pastries ( we came during the week- weekends may be a different story) and a nice menu of breakfast items, sandwiches, quiche, 2 soups of the day, and 1/2 sandwich-soup combo. The soup sandwich combo was the best I think. Hubby liked his turkey emmentaler sandwich which was on a roll. Cousin got an avocado toast with thick slices of avo. They also have a selection of boxed cookies and sweet treats for sale. Nice and casual with some tables inside. If eating in, they bring the items to your table.

If you want the best quality pastries around, rustic has you covered! I use them for work catering on occasion and they are always a hit. The restaurant is located in a cute little mall (The Marin County Mart) and has indoor/outdoor seating. It's always pretty busy, but moves quick. There soups and sandwiches are always a great option for lunch as well as the salads. There is not a bad item on the menu!

Nice place in Larkspur Landing. Outdoor seating is nice with umbrellas Lots of customers always specially on a Saturday during the farmers market. Seasonal selections But regular menu is good. First 6 sandwiches only for the +soup or +salad combo. The bread here is good. Sandwiches are excellent. Got the 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad. Excellent!

Wooden cutlery! YAY!

I've been a loyal customer at this location (and Larkspur Landing) for years and Lorena always recognizes me. I'm happy to see that they've persisted through COVID-19 and it seems like customers and the staff are getting more attuned to safety protocol. I understand that their offerings and hours have been minimized to accommodate the changes in business and demands. Their vanilla lattés are one of my staples and I'm quite partial to the granola parfait with fresh fruit. Today, I got a ham and cheese croissant to share with my son and they offered to heat it up, which made the cheese in the center deliciously gooey. But, to be fully transparent, the reason that I was motivated to write today's review was because we found sustainable silverware in our take-out bag today. As someone who is routinely dismayed to find a stash of plastic utensils in most of the take-out/delivery bags that arrive these days, even when we have requested otherwise, finding that Rustic Bakery has moved ahead with their sustainability goals - amidst all of the current challenges made me really happy.

This is for the Rustic Bakery on Magnolia Ave in Larkspur (NOT the one in Larkspur Landing/Marín Country Mart.) My first time here. Asked for the one scone in the case. Label said "apricot and almond." While waiting for my coffee, bit into scone which was salty, not sweet. Closer inspection revealed a cheese, corn and jalapeño scone. Waited in line to exchange. No scones left so I got a cinnamon roll. Tasty but a bit dry (at 10:30 AM.) Went to bathroom to wash sugar off my hands. Room was filthy. If this is how they keep the bathroom up, what does that say about the kitchen? I'm giving it a 2, only because the personnel were pleasant.

Easter Goodies!

Right when I came in I just knew it was good and I got to ordering Parking is pretty open and convenient so it was easy to walk right over. I ordered on the kiosk which makes it easier and gives me more time to look at items. I kept it simple and got a strawberry lemonade which was very good and also in cute packaging. The interior of this place felt like I was in Dubai or something because of the gold and how fancy this place looks lol overall I love it and the music playing.

I opted for the vibrant red rose. It tasted exactly like a flavorless sponge drenched in l milk. Not even a hint of rose. Incredible, the white icing was equally flavorless, although it looked beautiful, with a sprinkling of dried rose petals. The overall effect was like eating a piece of cake that had fallen in a puddle of milk - with dried leaves in the icing. I had three bites and then told them guy behind the counter that it had no flavor and all he could offer was "I'm sorry". For $8 and no offer to make it right, it was a really bad experience and I would never go there again.

My boyfriend's eggs were runny despite having asked for them to be scrambled hard. My niece didn't like her pancakes, and the group generally felt the food was bland. The service was also spotty. After remaking my boyfriend's eggs they forgot his toast. Then when the toast came they forgot the jam. The waitress didn't ask about drink refills, though she did refill my coffee. The ambiance was fine, but not the special holiday brunch spot we had imagined. Next time we'll find a different Larkspur restaurant.

I have been stopping by Rustic Bakery the last couple of mornings for coffee and a pastry, and it…read morehas been a solid choice. The place is clean, with plenty of seating both inside and outside, and there is a large selection of pastries, scones, breads, and grab-and-go items. My go-to has been the ham and cheese croissant, which was fresh both mornings. The coffee was also nice and hot, which I always appreciate. The staff is professional and efficient, though clearly busy, so do not expect a lot of chit-chat. I also picked up a box of Cheese Coins, which turned out to be dangerous because I loved them and ate the whole box. Good coffee, fresh pastries, easy seating, and enough tempting extras to make you buy more than you planned. I will probably stop by again tomorrow morning before leaving the area.

It could have used a lot more filling. I did appreciate the salsa on the side that it came with, which was tomato-y, garlicky, and overall very flavorful. It took around half an hour for me and 4 of my friends to get our orders, which was frustrating because we were on the go. Definitely a very busy spot! The place is a grab-and-go establishment where you order at the cashier and grab your food once ready (or they'll bring it out to you if dining in). I loved the outdoor seating on a sunny day but all the tables were unfortunately taken when we were there. The inside also has a couple of seats and refreshing cucumber water was offered.

I am staying at the Panama Hotel RIGHT next to what I now consider to be my FAVORITE bakery/ cafe…read moreEVER! ( I am 77 years young) This place is a true treasure!!!! Check it out! I will return every morning while I am here. Delicious lattes and a GALORE of scrumptious homemade sweet and savory baked goods. Friendly service from people who know how to make you feel welcome. Funky decore with loads of local art work on display/for purchase. Sit out in the patio garden and r e l a x. PS. This is the FIRST YELP review I have ever written.

I read a post on my local Nextdoor app where somebody said we should support this business because…read morethey are in danger of closing. There were mixed comments, some saying the place is good, and others saying it's not worth it and the owner is rude. I wanted to help, so I went to go check it out and see what I could buy. The owner was very rude and very short with me. In reading other reviews on YELP (in addition to Nextdoor), I see that sometimes she's very friendly, and to some other people she just randomly decides to be absolutely cold and unwelcoming. Despite my being cheerful and friendly upon entering her shop, I fell into the category of the latter. Hmmm, I wonder why? I should've left, but as I decided, I wanted to try the pastries and see if the place was worth it at all or not. I ordered a chai and a muffin, both were overpriced, and definitely not worth it. The muffin tasted like a lot of the less expensive ingredients, and very little of the good ingredients. The chai was bland. I definitely have compassion regarding the situation, I'm sure the owner is under a lot of stress. But, this could be a person's time to show their true colors and she shows that she's very selective and who she is kind too and who she is not. My compassion ends here. I will not return, nor would I recommend this place.

Everything feels authentic and made with care. But what really sets this place apart is the people. The team is warm, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel at home every time. It's my go-to for dinners with friends, special occasions or just when I want a solo night with my book. So lucky to have this spot nearby!

Only half-jokingly I used to say that Marin excels in ethnic restaurants from developed nations…read more If asked for specifics my response was France and Italy. Whatever we lacked in Korean or Ethiopian fare we made up for with an abundance of restaurants specializing in food from France and Italy. Amelie Cafe and Wine Bar continues the tradition and I'm not mad about it. With outposts in both San Francisco and New York City, Amelie sports a nice pedigree. The Fairfax location is dialed down a bit - perfect for the neighborhood it serves - and makes for a comfortable place to enjoy any meal however you might happen to appear that day. It's a simple cafe and, though not inexpensive, certainly less so than a trip to Paris. Two of us recently dined here, late afternoon on a weekend, sharing a burger ($23; comes with fries and a salad), a lager ($8; they have no IPA), and boquerones, the latter of which I fully regretted having to share. Whenever I see boquerones ($12) on a menu I cannot look away and in Marin, finding such an offering is a unicorn. Delicious; I might sneak back over solo just to enjoy them again. The burger and fries were also good, with a profile a bit different than what one would get at a non-French-centric spot. Amelie is a good place to drop in before or after a movie or a show in Fairfax and equally wonderful to pop into for a morning coffee drink or an afternoon glass of wine. It's a casual and a perfect fit for Fairfax.

I know times are not easy money-wise, and I hope that this place can hang in there, all things considered. Their prices are still reasonable and rather competitive to other San Rafael cafes we go to, and the food quality and service are excellent. We were welcomed immediately, and placed drink orders while waiting for a straggler - there's always one! Being regulars over the years - or decades, more accurately - we all knew what we wanted. Our server, Luci, has been here seemingly forever, and quickly took our order. We had the Grilled MAC (mushroom, avocado, and cheese) with Swiss on Rye, and a side salad; a hamburger with fries; a Club sandwich, and another hamburger, this one with a side salad! The food came quickly and was very fresh. The fries were really good (I had to collect a "french fry tax" from another's plate) and were crispy yet not greasy. The side salads here are always different from other places, with lettuce, plus fresh and blanched vegetables like tomatoes (okay, a fruit!), carrots, cauliflower, bell peppers, kidney beans, red onion, broccoli, and I think zucchini. I may have missed one! Too much goodness, and delicous all together. The Grilled MAC is tasty, and the hamburgers disappeared quickly, while the Club was beautifully made. Overall, a pleasant casual lunch with friends and great food in a nice ambiance. Hope to be back soon, as I forgot how good this place always is!
