Been a local here forever, food was great, but to be honest I can't even come anymore. They have completely upped the prices and minimized the amount of food they serve. Really sad to see. To get 4 prices of bacon on my breakfast sandwich (which used to be the normal), instead of 2, cost me 6 dollars. Ridiculous. read more

"Avocado toast... I have to have this recipe!" I appropriated that from an old New Yorker cartoon... And here you find a nice value which includes scrambled eggs sitting on top of rustic bread with a smashed avocado and a radish garnish, delightful. Accompanying this dish I had one single buttermilk pancake with what appeared to be fresh maple syrup. Good stuff! I'd like to point out that there is a pleasant, clean restroom, which is a testament to customer service and integrity. Something that I always appreciate.. This is a roadside diner feel located near the Good Earth grocery store, which is also deserving of a visit when you're in the area. (Check out the "proof lab" facility, or shall I say "campus" across the street -a very interesting spot. Google it and check it out online.) The Shoreline Cafe has a very competent, efficient, and friendly staff that knows what they're doing. There are lovely outdoor seating tables with nice umbrellas, as well as ample seating indoors in a comfortable atmosphere. Now that my belly is full until my lunch hour later today, I can contemplate clever epicurean/trendy dishes. How about some Tartine Butyrum ? OK, now I got you scrambling for a definition.... read more

I genuinely don't understand how this place has maintained its reputation for so long. The food quality was extremely disappointing and I was especially put off by the oils and my food was served cold--they did not seem consistent with the quality I would expect at this price point. What made the experience worse was the attitude of the staff. Instead of feeling welcomed we were made to feel as though we should consider ourselves lucky to be eating there. That kind of attitude might be easier to overlook if the food were exceptional but it wasn't. Between the disappointing food and the unnecessarily entitled service I will think twice before spending my money here. read more

Even though this place is tucked away in a hidden parking lot area, it gets pretty crowded on weekends. I went early Saturday morning with a friend, and we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly everything moved we were seated right away! The staff was so kind and welcoming, and they gave us great recommendations. I had a breakfast salad that I absolutely loved I enjoyed every "leaf" of it My friend ordered the chilaquiles divorciados, and we both had coffee to go with our meals. I'm really glad we decided to try this spot. It has such a friendly, family-oriented vibe, the prices are fair, and the food is delicious. Thank you for such a great experience! read more

Ordered: Alice's special with scrambled eggs and subbed the toast for an English muffin, and the no frills French toast. Also got a coffee. Highlights: No wait around 11am on Friday. Servers were nice and quick! Food was straight forward and just what we needed after hiking Muir Woods for a bit. Notes: I'd say it is pricier (about $40 for everything) but overall good. I'd come back if I were ever in the area (seems like a classic local spot)! read more

The place was bustling as we came in, seems to be a local favourite and on a nice warm morning the vibes are great to stop for a bite Hash browns were pretty standard, what more do you want from it? My main was the pork belly salad. Unfortunately this is a pretty small dish to be considered with the other breakfast mains, and for its price tag. This would make side salad at best, ingredients wise there are few, the pork belly either was too small to get a good mouth feel or just lacked flavour. Wolfed this down with the hash browns and was still very hungry, I'd recommend another dish read more

Just outstanding! Came here after hiking with a few folks and we were able to get a nice table on the patio. The service was excellent, everyone was very friendly. I ordered the Mexicali Blue Burger and it was probably one of the best burgers I've eaten. The meat was perfectly cooked, the cheese sauce was just incredible, and even the bread was the right texture. I got a chance to taste the Smash Patty Melt and it was extremely flavorful, great texture as well. Shoreline Coffee Shop is just a sweet spot in a great location with an incredible vibe. I will absolutely be back. read more

My Mom & I discovered this gem while visiting family nearby last week! A bustling morning, the staff were welcoming and kind as they found us a cute booth on the side to sit. The cozy nook was perfect for Mom and I to catch up while enjoying a delicious meal. I ordered an egg scramble that had squash, spinach, and hash browns accompanying it. SO yum! And their latte based in Stonestown Coffee was perfect. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Yummy breakfast, lots of choices, great bottomless cup of coffee, & awesome service! We split the blueberry pancakes for an appetizer and then had the Tennessee Valley Toast - sautéed kale avocado toast that was Amazing! Also had an order of the Smoked Salmon Scramble. Both were awesome! Would absolutely be back to this quintessential retro diner! read more

Wow! What a crazy little hidden gem behind Walgreens off of highway 1! We had the mushroom and chicken tacos, and the buffalo chicken sandwich. Organic, fresh ingredients that are flavorful, with homemade hot sauce! Staff is super friendly, and kitchen is fast! Will definitely be back! read more

We ended up at Shoreline when there was no parking at another emporium across the street which shall remain nameless. The five star rustic bread which was either house made or purchased from Panorama (no one seemed to be certain) would draw me there constantly if I lived in the area. Alas, we were only visiting for two days. The crumb! The chew! The crust! My grilled rustic bread was filled with grilled poblano peppers, Cabot cheddar, tomatoes and avocado. Yum, yum, yummy!! The fries were great too. My honey had the avocado toast (on THE bread) and he loved it. We met many dogs on the patio, always a plus, and service was friendly in this old style breakfast (served all day) and lunch restaurant. The music is as vintage as the ambiance. It seemed to be a place where locals land. French press coffee too. read more

THE worst Mexican food in my life no seasoning and the smallest portions ever do not come here if you're hungry and if you like food, the water was also warm and very, very very overcharged for not even good food and the smallest portions you'll ever get. read more

Had breakfast here during my stay in Mill Valley and loved the old school diner feel. Got quickly seated in a booth, diner coffee was great and had a classic American breakfast with eggs, hash browns, bacon, toast and a pancake. Service was friendly, food came out hot and fast. The bacon here was exceptional. Will definitely return when back in the area. They also have outdoor seating. Seems like it gets really busy during peak hours, we got lucky and arrived just as a table was leaving. No complaints and really enjoyed it! read more

No idea why this is below 4 stars. One of my favorite places in Marin for breakfast and lunch. Love the food and love the people even more. read more

Meh, we didn't get the hype of this place. We understand it's probably one of the small business breakfast spots everyone supports. It's not terrible, the food was just basic diner foods to us and nothing really stood out. The service was also extremely slow and not attentive to us at all. read more

Not sure why this place is often so busy. Went in on a Sunday morning and there was no wait (yay!). However the place is lacking some ambiance-we sat by a window revealed some broken down interior of the building next door. My chair was wet. Service was not very attentive. The morning was breezy and perfect, the sun was shining. We live in Mill Valley and had never eaten here-we never thought to, but after a nice walk at Muir Beach, we decided to head back into town for breakfast. My burrito was incredibly bland, but very filling. I did, however, liked the way they toasted the tortilla. The filling was dense, but the lack of flavor made the experience okay/meh. My friend had huevos rancheros and he proclaimed them one of the worst versions he'd ever eaten. Soupy and saucy and yet not very flavorful. "I'm not eating here again," he said. Yeah, me neither. There are other places to eat or I couldn't have stayed home and eaten some granola or an apple and enjoyed that more. read more

The first thing that strikes you walking through the doors is the exceedingly charming retro diner vibe. That aesthetic alone makes a meal here worthwhile. Luckily, the service and food largely lived up to that initial impression. The servers made me feel like a regular on my first visit and I felt right at home amid the old school diner trappings. My kale salad did almost everything well, but 1) I wish they offered a vegetarian protein add-on; 2) I wish the tomatoes were cut more thoughtfully than what you'd find at a cafeteria; 3) the dressing wasn't spicy as advertised on the menu. Despite those nits, I'd wholeheartedly recommend a trip to Shoreline and look forward to returning. read more

Man, I love this place. It's my go to breakfast place. The breakfast sandwich and breakfast burrito are amazing. But my fave dish is the meatloaf with softly scrambled eggs plus the jalapeno hash browns. Plus the lattes here are top notch, and the friendliest staff you can imagine. read more

Edit: The owner seems sensitive to any negative review and responds pretty immaturely and with a lot of sass. Best wishes for the future of your restaurant, Ged. Went here recently with my partner and we were the youngest people there the entire time BY FAR, it seemed like a cafe for a retirement home. Food was ok, like another review says, the portions are absolutely tiny and somewhat pricy. I had the eggs, hash browns, bacon, sourdough toast, and coffee, which I enjoyed but again was a pretty small portion. My partner had the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The grilled cheese was fine but the soup was a really strange consistency, like they had puréed it and then added random chunks and bits back in. Neither of us wanted more than a bite of the soup. Not worth the drive for us to go again. read more

Wonderful family atmosphere. Excellent food all the time. Owners are fabulous. Highly recommend.

Food. Coffee. Service. The best. This a must. Discovered recently and now it's a go to for breakfast.

A tuna melt for the ages! Delicious ahi tuna, just toasted enough on fantastic bread. Cochinita pork is also not to be missed. Two in our party split a burger and fries. They agreed it was one of the best in memory, and it was enough to carry them through an afternoon hike. Cute outside patio. Inside looks run down, but it's clean as a whistle. Very friendly, fun servers for a chill weekday lunch. Parking was fine on a weekday. Also the lot is Walgreens-adjacent, which is great because you always need something at Walgreens, right? read more

Wow, this place truly exceeded my expectations! Came here on a Sunday during the summer time to seek a post hike lunch. This place is slightly tucked away in the parking lot of this little plaza. Very nice outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade, and definitely dog friendly outside! I got the BLT and was pleasantly surprised that the bread was amazing and the tomatoes were so juicy. I had a hard time initially deciding what to get, but when I saw how nice the bacon looked at the next table over, I had to get the BLT! Staff is very friendly here and the timing of the service is very nicely paced. read more

The food was bare minimum as it relates to flavor. My husband and I sensed very early that we weren't welcomed in this establishment most of the folks working there kept an angry look on their faces. We didn't stay long but my husband asked for another cup of coffee to go and the waitress said she would have to charge us for that and my husband said ok a man brought the coffee but she had taking a payment, we advised him that we needed a new bill to pay for the to go cup of coffee and he looked at us like we had four heads Shortly after very shortly after the waitress, who told us that stated she just talked to her manager, and he said we didn't have to pay for the to go cuppa coffee. It's Funny, we are brown people too just not Mexican. I would not recommend supporting this restaurant. My apologies I have been told they are not a Mexican business but their practices still stink read more

We had a delightful brunch here with friends today. The service was excellent from start to finish- we were able to park right in front, were seated at an outdoor table on their dog-friendly patio, and waited on promptly. The servers were friendly, and the ambiance was warm and welcoming, with lots of families and dogs hanging out and having a good time. After some deliberation (there were more than a few options on the menu I wanted to try- I guess I'll have to come back for more :)) I decided on the stuffed brioche french toast and a mimosa, both were delicious. My only regret was not ordering a side of fries (a friend did, and they looked absolutely yummy). The food was ready fairly quickly after ordering, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. We'll be back for sure. read more

I live within walking distance of the Shoreline Coffee shop and have walked by it hundreds of times over the past couple of years and FINALLY stopped in for breakfast over the weekend. It was hard to decide what to order given so many things on the menu sound delicious. My niece and I both ordered the Santi's Huevos Rancheros. The eggs and beans were cooked to perfection and the dish had great flavor overall. We went at 9am and it wasn't too busy so we were able to get a table outside. We appreciated that they offer Stumptown coffee and enjoyed a mocha and a latte. Service was quick, efficient and friendly. It's a great local spot and perfectly situated for locals and tourists who are either heading up the mountain or to the beach. There aren't a lot of coffee shops like this around any more. It's a true gem of a spot. read more

Shoreline is one of the institutions in Mill Valley for great reason. Fantastic food and atmosphere but most importantly some of the best people I've met work there. They are kind, attentive and always trying to deliver the absolute best experience possible which they deliver on every time in the 1,000+ times I've eaten here. Every time the food is great and the staff is amazing. So grateful to have a place like Shoreline in. My home town.
