Very nice place for breakfast with tasty food. The place gets busy on the weekends but the service crews have a system and they get orders out fast. The patio area was nice and our waiter was great. Overall good place to enjoy a great breakfast and excellent service.

This place is legit. The servers are fast and friendly. Food was amazing. They have a great “garden”area, great place there was a group of gals doing gal lunch, and another table was a group of guys doing their thing. Another table was a retired couple, great, wide slice of society in there at noon on a Monday. I’ll reiterate again the service was amazing, the staff seems like a great team. I got the chille quilles it was pretty good too. Great place to hang out and catch up and eat good food. My only complaint is that their draft beer selection is stuck in 1992 but you don’t really come here to drink.

We have been coming to Garden Cafe for about 5 years now. The servers are incredible. Attentive, friendly, patient, and always welcoming. The owner, Miguel is lovely, and always stops by to check in.
The food is consistently great. We alternate between a few favorites (chicken Cobb salad, Milenesa platter, chicken supreme sandwich, a couple omelettes).
Food prep is always consistent, quality is high.
They are usually pretty busy, but food comes out at a great pace. The team clearly like each other and work well together. It’s like watching a well coordinated symphony, or a basketball team at the top of their game.
Don’t sleep on the fresh squeezed juice bar either!

Great breakfast! Fast service. Amazing food. Everything tasted freshly made and not from a jar. The service was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend to locals or visitors. Each table was given a pitcher of water with mint leaves and lemon. Such a refreshing flavor and I love that we were not at the mercy of a server to refill our waters.
They had indoor or outdoor seating available. Both were cozy. Might be weird to say, but their bathroom was so cute!

I can’t recommend the Garden Cafe enough! I had a wonderful first experience here today having lunch. The food was delicious & nutritious- I got the Salmon Greek Salad (comes with garlic bread) and the “San Rafael Sunrise” drink, which is a juice including veggies and chia seeds. Lots of seating options indoors and outdoors with good lighting. Free wifi for those looking for a good study spot.
The service was AMAZING and contributed to creating such a friendly, inviting atmosphere. I have to give a special shout-out to Miguel, who was so gracious and apologetic about my juice being made wrong the first time. They were out of beets and I believe Miguel called someone and had more beets brought in while I was eating lunch so that I had a corrected juice with beets to enjoy before I finished eating! To be clear, I told Miguel it was completely fine that they were out of beets but he insisted it wasn’t fair to not get what I ordered and made sure I got my beet juice. I can vouch for how much the Garden Cafe values each customer there! I will be recommending to friends and coming back.
Edit: came back several times! Take out was a good experience and sitting outside was also a good experience! I got the power punch smoothie and it was delicious. I also tried the mahi mahi fish tacos; they were good but my favorite is still the salmon greek salad. If you like spicy, the habanero sauce is great according to my friend!

This place is AMAZING! The food was absolutely delicious- I had salmon with mango salsa (I think called Salmon Marin). The food came out so fast and the staff was so kind and helpful. The atmosphere of this cafe feels like sitting on a friend’s porch. Very lovely and cozy. Definitely would recommend coming here.

I love this place. I lived in Marin County for over 15 years and this is definitely my favorite breakfast place. The people that work there are super friendly and generally seem to like their job. Management must be doing a good thing and treating their people, right. Well done.

This place is a gem. Definitely come here while you can still get the pumpkin pancake special. Very tasty with a side of bacon and front. And even served with a pretty flower.

We were in area for day and was looking for a breakfast place. I found it on Google and drove to place. The place was cute. It was like sitting inside a garden. I little waterfall created a peaceful ambiance as well. The service was so fast and efficient. They were all very nice and worked well as a team. The food came out fast but accurate. I enjoyed my chicken fried steak with eggs and potatoes. The gravy was delicious and steak perfectly breaded and tender. And their country potatoes were to live for. Some of the best I’ve had. Give this place a try.

One of the best breakfast spots I’ve ever been to! I ordered the chilaquiles and my husband got the huevos rancheras. Just wow. Incredible. The salsas that came on both were sooo good. Everything was fresh and delicious. Well worth the money. And the cinnamon roll pancakes were also delish. 10 stars!
