    The "G" 16oz & Kids' Chicken Tenders
    Sophia O.

    Trailhead is a great place to sit and work or read or chat with a friend while having a drink (coffee, smoothie or beer)... food is pretty good. Breakfast burrito, sandwiches, salads, burgers. I wish there was more snacky type stuff other than pastries or the huge shareable plates.

    Matcha was ok, but definitely needed more sugar. Rest of the menu looked very good and I was tempted to try the food but it was a quick stop.

    Great that the owner reached out after my last review, looking forward to trying them again.

    Came here again Sunday morning with my boyfriend. Whoever took our order was on it and very welcoming. I got a sausage egg burrito and the same order of my iced matcha (oat milk + sweetened with honey). He ordered a warm Oat chai. I had no issues with my sausage egg burrito, it was absolutely delicious and filling! It came with a spicy salsa which added a nice kick. I did have issues with my matcha. It definitely depends on who makes it! I was looking forward to having one again because of how awesome it was made last time but this time, it was not good. The matcha wasn't mixed well so the drink was gritty and it was too milky that the matcha flavor wasn't there. My boyfriend has a sensitivity to whole milk so he orders oat milk. Once he got his drink, he had me try and compare it to my drink because we both had ordered oat milk. The person who made his Chai had added whole milk rather than oat milk. It was unfortunate and disappointing. ): I know people have bad days. But hopefully mistakes like the wrong milk--can hopefully be looked at more thoroughly.

    Menu changes ! Nice selection

    I really like this concept , the vibes are very welcoming & the beer is legit ! Reading other reviews , I do have the sense that we just never have ordered the right thing . The pretzel w melted cheese seems like a natural pairing with good cold suds , we did like it , only enough to eat half . Two people should have been able to easily finish it . We also had the spicy nuts , 7 bucks too much , they were stale . Lastly we had the Caesar Salad , just old lettuce and not good . Any place that serves a good Caesar , I am pretty much hooked , it's a simple salad , but must be done in a way that as u are finishing , u are thinking , when can I have this again ? All the customers seem like regulars and all seem so enthusiastic, The only beers we have tried are Fieldwork , amazing beer , I love this brewery , that's why 4 stars . Really the beer is most definitely 5 stars . We see them on door dash & I have not tried any breakfast items , we did try a cookie and again , it seemed stale ? They were doing outdoor pizzas , which was buzzy And not bad at all ! The outside is maintained nicely & the inside as well Lots a bike riders frequent this place . I wish them well I hope the food improves , but if they are successful doing it this way , so be it ! That's it folks !

    2023/122 Located next to Harvest Market in the town of Novato City serves coffee and pastries for breakfast, sandwiches, salads and sausages for lunch and dinner craft beers and wine from afternoon till closing at night! On the Menus are: VEGGIE QUICHE BRIOCHE EGG SANDWICH BREAKFAST TACOS /BURRITOS LOX (smoked salmon ) BAGELS SCONES BROWNIES LEMON BARS CROISSANTS CHARCUTURIE FLATBREADS SOUP GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES EGG SANDWICHES SALADS LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE friendly and quick service Coffee made fresh as ordered. I got hot chocolate but hoping to have more chocolate taste than watered down. Indoor Dining table and seats available and a cozy seating lounge area for casual and relaxing mood . Outdoor dining area for kids and pets to hang out.

    When I researched cozy coffee shops, I found Trailhead in Novato. I was so impressed! Its's the biggest and coziest coffee shop I've ever been to. It was cool to explore and see so many nooks and crannies to sit. The only thing was that the cool looking couch in the front entrance area was surrounded by flies. I sat there for 5 minutes and got tired of swatting. Could be that the trash bins by the front door were the cause of a bad time. Other than that, I loved the half moon booths in the back seating area. The OG salad was so filling and exactly what I expected from a typical delicious cobb salad. I did ask for some foam on the chai latte but the staff didn't seem to know what I was talking about and so I enjoyed a regular chai latte as it comes -- don't expect above and beyond here. Overall, it was a nice chill day and the art up on the walls was awesome!

    Hey,, who drank all of it? Lol

    New place A+++ I had a Ube Latte omg it was so good, not too sweet... I do not like sweet coffee this was so good just a hint of sweet and enough ube flavor to let you taste all the components..I really love this Latte..I loved my breakfast sandwich and old fashioned Maple donut..The service, we had the nicest young lady help us..So upbeat and just had a really good energy I forgot to get her name, reddish short hair, white leggings..Ty for being our server you made the visit even better, even places with awesome food can make a person cringe if there's bad service.. So,, Awesome latte, yummy sando, fresh donut, 5 star service..plenty of seating in and out..I'll be back a 100 times..It's a must go for sure! Love this place..couldn't keep my kitten outta my cup..lol..she's wants a Ube Latte too..lol... Ok we came back for dinner, The beers were fantastic! Isabella made my son a cream soda, he loved it! THANKYOU... I had the Ban Mi, my son the lobster roll, and my man had a chicken sando, we had some pickled cauliflower too..I really will probably be back tomorrow for another Ube Lattee! Lol I'm not kidding...

    Lobster Roll
    Rita K.

    My company orders lunch weekly and today we tried the newly opened Trailhead. While it's not the kind of place I would choose to eat at, I enjoyed what I got. The packaging for to go orders is cute. There's not a lot of menu options, but there's something for everybody's taste. I got the lobster roll which is pricy for a sandwich but it's filled to the brim with fresh lobster. There's different parts of the lobster in the sandwich and has multiple textures. It was a refreshing flavor, not sure how describe otherwise. The bread they have is really good and I'm very particular about bread since it's not my preferred carb. My coworker who picked up the order said they spoke to the owner for a while and he was really friendly and thankful for the large (10+ people) order. We'll most likely be eating from here again and I look forward to it. Would definitely recommend.

    Root beer

    I ordered a root beer which was good and the pepperoni pizza and that was pretty good!!! The service was good!!! The ambiance was also good because it felt like a nice American restaurant!!

    Excited for this new place!

The tomato and basil pizza was burnt so badly that it was inedible. It was beyond horrible. Yet, it was boxed and sealed and we were charged for it.

The house salad had onions, which we specifically asked be omitted when we ordered. The dressing was supposed to be on the side, but had spilled out. Things they couldn't control but didn't help: cars were parked in the loading area. There was no other parking and we had to park three blocks away and walk there and back.

This location in greater San Rafael is a bit out of my way, but a recent trip to Marin was an opportunity to make up for the lost. Located in a business center, parking here is not an issue and they were not particularly busy on a Sunday night. We were seated immediately, noticing how clean and modern the two-story gastropub looks. The food menu is more or less pub food, executed well. Mango-habanero wings were crispy and came with two dipping sauces, both delicious. We also tired the pretzel, which is on a smaller size, so next time I'll take our server's suggestion and order two. It also came with mustard and cheese for dipping. All their burgers are more or less a la carte: no fries, but chips and house pickle on the side. The burgers were fine though, with smash being smaller, but a bit tastier than their signature Monk's burger. Simplicity is sometimes the best. The beer list is expertly curated with focus on other styles besides IPA, but I assume that Russian River's Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig are always on the menu, in addition to ultra-local options. For pub fare, Monk's Kettle is a bit pricy, which is not totally unexpected in today's economy-especially knowing the area. However, elevated food, drinks, and service quality usually comes with the elevated price tag. We might not be back next time in Marin, but this was surely not the last visit to Monk's.

It's a fairly large restaurant with great menu options. There are two huge televisions which thankfully didn't have the volume up on. The server was very attentive but not overly bothersome which was a bonus.
