Go for the Greek food. It's great, especially the spanakopita. A good BEC in the a.m.

Walt from Walt's Adventures here in San Rafael, California. Today, I am dining in the Redwood Cafe. This cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating and served both breakfast and lunch. The most redeeming aspect of my visit was the quality exhibited in all of the aspects of the eatery. This appeared to be a family owned establishment who served fresh, well prepared meals, who treated all of their guests as family members, and who did not go out of their way to say farewell to their guests but, instead, stated their "see you next time" naturally. It is always a pleasure to find a natural, old time cafe that treasures their guests and creations of their meals. The Redwood Cafe is one that I will treasure for they have and continue to do things the caring way.

Fab place. Love their Greek food - everything fresh and prepared well. Great staff and owners are friendly and diligent m. Family owned and a family feel. My go-to place.

Best breakfast in all of Marin! I eat here almost every week on my way to work and the food is consistently delicious every single time. They have a really nice basic breakfast, but also a lot of interesting options. Highly recommend.

Food and customer service is great. Chill unpretentious community vibe. Great to support local business! Super easy to pop in from the freeway while being far enough to not hear or see it from the cafe

THE no-nonsense last stop for great breakfast/lunch headed north in 101 out of San Rafael. They take cards/ApplePay. There're outdoor picnic tables and sometimes fog so it'sinside you go - but hey it's steps away from the Bay. Breakfast is tasty and large and they serve you at one of the clean tables in the tidy big dining room. It's right off the freeway at Lucas Valley Rd. Informal and friendly. The menu is basic - good basic breakfast, good coffee.

I like this place. I always get their soup,,,, my favorite is the potato leek soup and their minestrone. Soup is soup. I have no idea why so many people say the owner is grumpy??? Every time I went he was nice. He says thank you and hands me my food and then I am on my way. I usually go in the afternoon an hour before they close so maybe the people saying he's grumpy are coming in the morning. I would be grumpy if I had to work in the morning too so whatever. Their soup is 8$ and comes with a sourdough roll. Maybe a little expensive but whatever everything is expensive after the pandemic. The interior is a pretty big so theres always a place to sit.

I came here for the breakfast burrito and I was left feeling happy and full. It was a heavy, loaded burrito, had chorizo, highly recommend! Sorry, no pics... $15
