    We absolutely loved our experience at Sausalito Bakery & Cafe! We stayed in Sausalito for the weekend, and this café quickly became our favorite breakfast place. The location is unbeatable, with a beautiful, unobstructed view of the bay, especially if you arrive early before the crowds. It was the perfect way to start our mornings. The café opens early, which we really appreciated. Our party of four sampled a mix of savory and sweet breakfast items, along with fresh coffee, and every single thing was delicious. Both pastries and hearty breakfast tasted fresh and homemade. Josh, the owner, greeted everyone with a genuine smile, making us feel right at home. If you're visiting Sausalito, this place is highly recommended - fresh food, excellent coffee, stunning views, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back!

    This bakery is special. We came early on a Saturday morning and there were so many choices, some of which were still warm from the oven. I really wanted to get the blueberry banana bread, the cinnamon roll or the scones (chocolate chip and oatmeal were especially tempting), but I just had a massive breakfast. I did get the cappuccino and it was nice and strong. My buddy got the brownie and loved it! Casual. Street parking. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Blueberry Banana Bread
    Elsa J.

    Food: - Items: Blueberry Scone, Fruit Tart, Blueberry Banana Bread - The blueberry scone was great, not to sweet, the right amount of density, might've appreciated more blueberries but it was still pretty good (8/10) - Fruit tart wasn't very tart but I liked the crispiness of it and the custard + fruits were nice // not the usual fruit tart with the crust (7/10) - Blueberry Banana Bread was also nice, super filling, it had nice spices baked in the only thing is I felt like it was denser than I would've liked (6/10) - Did feel like the food was a bit pricey however - 6/10 Service: - The server was pretty nice - 8/10 Ambiance: - Lots of people sitting inside and outside - Slow-pace feel although we took our baked goods to go - Decent parking - Seaside vibes - 10/10 Overall: 7/10

    Oatmeal raisin cookie (scone?) , not sure I didn't order this. I ordered a lemon Berry scone.

    To start, generally there are some things that for me can be an automatic -1 star UNLESS there's something that good to counterbalance it. This was not the case here. Came with some friends after hiking and getting lunch at Napa Valley Burger Co. My friend had been really craving for a good pastry so we stopped in after seeing a few good pics of key items : Bread pudding, chocolate chip cookie, Lemon Berry Scone(?). We came in ordered a few things. Unfortunately they were out of the chocolate chip cookie so my friend was crushed. For me I ordered the bread pudding, brownie, almond (marzipan) croissant and the Lemon Berry Scone. We ordered everything to go because we wanted to get home after the tiring hike. Food: -Blueberry Bread Pudding was moist and soft yet still had enough texture/structure to not be mushy. Very generous portion of moist syrupy(?) blueberries. Downside it was a bit one note in flavor. -Almond croissant wasn't the most flaky I've had; it was a decent texture. Maybe it's because it's been sitting there all day? I ordered it because the woman working the register said it was filled with aa sweet almond paste, and I happen to love marzipan. Well in the very very center of the croissant was a tiny little dab of marzipan, which also happened to not extend towards the sides of the croissant. To say it was a FILLED croissant was definitely a stretch and had I know that going in I wouldn't have ordered it. -Brownie, well what can I say it was a brownie. Slightly crispy edges. Inconsistent moistness/texture throughout with dry dense spots and moist fudgy spots. Topped with a dusting of powdered sugar. It was fairly decent. - Lemon Berry Scone, well I literally have nothing to say because they gave me the wrong item. They gave me what was basically an oatmeal raisin cookie/scone. To be fair I gave it a taste and my mother as well. In her words it had the texture of cardboard. While I think that's an exaggeration, I flat out didn't like it. Yes it's loaded with raisins. But other than that it was so bland and flavorless. To top it all off I don't even like oatmeal raisin cookies. I would have thrown it away but my mom didn't have the heart and decided to keep it. Anyways this leads me into the next category. Service: I mean what can I say, the line moved fairly quickly and the woman working the counter was friendly and attentive. Where they dropped the ball was actually serving the correct item. Especially on a to-go order there's no way to correct an error like this. I have never been to Sausalito until today and because of how far it is I likely will never try this place again, let alone be in the general area. It's a shame, that Lemon Berry scone looked fantastic. Ambiance: I mean it's a small cafe with a decently sized bakery display counter. Couple of tables to sit. Nothing standoutish in terms of aesthetic or cuteness. Pretty standard. Misc: 3 is average, 4 is very good and 5 is great. You have to really earn your 5 stars to me. I try not to give them out unless a place really wows me for one reason or another. They messed up a to-go order,-1. This place didn't wow me, -1. The pastries were so-so as a whole, -1. For these reasons I'm putting them at a total of 2/5.

    Quiche
    Misha M.

    Great service with very friendly staff. The chocolate croissant was lovely and flaky, and the quiche was good too. There are outdoor tables, though we chose to sit inside by the window and enjoyed the water view.

    Sausalito oatmeal cookie
    Tiffany T.

    Chicken breast sandwich: 4/5. The bread was perfectly crispy and fluffy. The chicken breast was a little difficult to chew off but overall delicious sandwich w/ good proportion of ingredients (only wish there was more than one piece of lettuce)! The accompanying salad was rather small but still yummy (pickled cabbages & pickled carrots) Sausalito oatmeal raisin cookie: 3.5/5. It was a giant cookie so worth the $5. It's on the dryer/ crumbly side which isn't bad but not my favorite type of cookie--personal preference. Some might find it on the sweeter side but I think it was just right in terms of sweetness level. Ambiance: Very quaint local cafe with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, it was very lovely to sit outside on this sunny day. Service: Relatively fast! staff were very nice. Glasses of water are provided upon request.

    Warm vegetable frittata

    Yummy treats perfect for a breakfast or brunch date! I visited with my fiancé on a Saturday morning after hiking. He told me he went here previously with his friend and they both enjoyed their food. We found parking on the side street. There was a short line when we entered and all the seats were taken. Luckily, we were able to find a seat for the two of us after a few people left and the line moved fairly fast. We ordered: * Matcha latte ($6.25 large) - I asked for just a little bit sweet and they delivered. Served warm. Wish it had a little more matcha though since it tasted like the milk overpowered the drink for me. * Chai latte ($5.75 large) - didn't taste it, but my fiancé said it was good. * Blueberry bread pudding ($6.95) - packed with blueberries and I loved the not-too-soft but not-too-dense texture. * Oatmeal raisin cookie ($5) - huge, thick, chewy, tasty oatmeal raisin cookie. * Almond croissant ($5) - I love almond croissants and this was no exception. It was soft, buttery, and flaky, but I wish they were more generous with the filling. * Fruit tart ($6.95) - was more like a Danish due to the flaky square base. I would've preferred more custard filling and the typical round fruit tart base, but overall still good. * Vegetable frittata ($13.95) - loaded with veg and had some cheese too! Super tasty and filling. It was warmed up and then brought to our table. With tax and tip, we paid almost $80, so yes it is a little expensive, but it's a local business in Sausalito so I was expecting it to be. Overall though, we did enjoy what we ordered and I think it was a nice treat. Not a place I'd go to regularly due to the price and the drive from where we live, but I'd love to come back as a treat! My rating is 4.5 because I wish it was a little less cramped inside and because of little changes I would make to the food, but I decided to round up to 5 stars.

    Drenched in vinegar.
    Kas T.

    We visited in about 2019, and I guess it was so memorable to my husband that he made a beeline here as soon as we debarked the ferry. The place looked the same but I think ownership is different. Okay ambiance. Lots of tourist business and counter service only, and the place could use some updating (peeling paint, etc). Get your own utensils, and they offered no water or napkins so we purchased a small Crystal Geyser bottled water for what turned out to be $10 (!) I was looking forward to my poached prawn salad and, while the prawns were nicely done, the rest of it was just too sour to eat. They did not get the olive oil to vinegar ratio down right, and it way too tangy. I love olives and braced for a bite of one but blech! -- I got nothing but a burst of sour. The cheese tortellini were chunks of cold doughy nothing. A real disappointment of a waterfront lunch on a beautiful day. As for the other food, we also got a grilled cheese and a side of bacon. Not exceptional or even good. A little dry and just okay. Have yet to try the pastries, which did look good. We are locals but joined tourists on a ferry ride here from San Francisco just for a walk and a meal. Most come for just one meal given the ferry schedule. While we understand the mark up since it is Sausalito, they should give us something fresh and memorable -- this was not it for lunch, and there are better options that line the street.

    Sausalito Bakery and Cafe has a wide variety of pastries that all looked super tempting. I kept it simple with a bagel and cream cheese, which came out quickly and hit the spot. I also got an Italian soda, though I do wish there were a few more drink options on the menu. My items got out to me quickly too and service was friendly. That said, it's a really solid breakfast spot overall. The location is great, and the interior is super cute with plenty of seating. Definitely a cozy place to stop by for a light morning bite or a chill start to the day.

    We stumbled upon the Bakery & Cafe while walking along the waterfront. The day was rather cool and wet - so this proved a great spot to wait out the drizzle. We came in and were welcomed, obvious tourists, and given a booth table for the four. Service was efficient although the waitress missed a cup of herbal tea. But happily rectified. The pastries and coffee was good. There seemed to be a fair number of locals so they're doing something right. Pleasant spot to visit for a food memory.

    Chai latte
    Ethan N.

    Small cute shop with good service and right by the water. Staff was really nice too and there's lots of pastries

    We had an oatmeal raisin cookie, croissant, and a cinnamon honey laté. They have an assortment of baked goods and they all looked delicious.

    What a perfect way to end my Golden Gate Bridge walk! After hoofing it all the way from San Francisco, I was starving and this little gem in Sausalito was exactly what I needed. The green storefront caught my eye right away - it's got that classic small-town charm that makes Sausalito so special. I ordered their omelet with bacon and it was absolutely delicious. The eggs were fluffy and cooked perfectly, the bacon was crispy, and they gave me some great multigrain toast on the side. The fresh fruit was a nice touch too. Everything looked freshly baked and you could smell it the moment you walked in. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy - perfect for refueling after a long walk. Plus, you can't beat the location right in downtown Sausalito.

    Got it. I'll turn this into a polished Yelp Elite-style narrative: observant, balanced, a little…read morewitty, and clearly written by someone who actually spends time here--not a fly-by latte tourist. This spot feels like the other side of Sausalito--in the best way. If Sausalito Bakery is the pressed-linen, weekend-brunch version of town, this place is where the everyday locals land. Same essence, very different energy. Cozy, familiar, and quietly charming without trying too hard. The space itself is warm and inviting, with a lived-in feel and a glowing sign in the back that somehow makes the whole room feel softer. There's a large communal table, plenty of indoor seating, and a steady hum of conversation that creates excellent white noise. It's a solid place to get work done--as long as you're not recording audio, because it does get a little loud--but for emails, planning, or a casual work session, it absolutely works. Now, the matcha. This is the real headline. I'll be honest: I used to actively avoid ordering matcha here. It was mediocre at best. About five months ago, they changed it--slight improvement, but still not there. I know the ownership was proud of that update, but something clearly changed again since then, because today's matcha was genuinely impressive. Like, stop-what-you're-doing impressive. At this point, I'm comfortable saying this is the best matcha in Sausalito. Egg Lady's is fine, but it doesn't come close. Sausalito Bakery is lovely to hang out in, and their pastries are great--but their matcha is forgettable. This one isn't. (The only matcha I've had locally that competes was at an ERIA Events gathering, but that's not exactly a walk-in situation, so it doesn't count.) If you're in Sausalito specifically looking for matcha, this is the place. They're also great with substitutions, service is quick, and the owner has a genuinely warm, welcoming presence--lots of friendly back-and-forth with regulars, which adds to the atmosphere rather than distracting from it. I didn't try the pastries or sandwiches this time (not much of a pastry person), though everything looked solid. Outdoor seating exists, but with the weather being a bit unpredictable lately, indoor is the move. Fair warning: parking is a hassle. I parked in the lot near Trident, and while it worked, the valet experience was... unpleasant enough that I probably wouldn't do it again. Plan accordingly. All in all, this is a comfortable, local-feeling café with excellent matcha, good energy, and enough seating to make it a reliable go-to. It may not be the "scene," but it's exactly the kind of place you end up recommending when someone asks, "Where do you actually like to go?"
