Wow! This place is good. Such a cool, casual diner experience but the food is seriously elevated. I got the breakfast sandwich with fresh squeezed OJ and coffee. It was perfect for breakfast before hiking Muir Woods. Servers were all fantastic. They also have a secluded outdoor eating space, but the diner inside is too cool to miss.
Breakfast of blueberry pancakes, bacon and cup of earl grey tea. The food is good, but expensive. Thats Marin County. Service was good, not great. Took off one star because the fork still had bits of old food stuck to it and the sugar dispenser was greasy as hell. Shoreline is obviously very popular because it was really busy on a Sunday morning. They need to be better at keeping the place cleaner.I would eat here again.
Do not be fooled by a first glance at the outside- amazing breakfast with a classic diner vibe, and really personal service. The menu is very original and creative. Service was fast and attentive. We had the Machaca Hash (incredible, but they might be sold out because its amazing slow-cooked beef) and the stuffed french toast. Both were wonderful.
Brunch atmosphere with above average brunch prices and below average brunch food.Much too expensive. A simple eggs and toast breakfast was over $15 with tax and tip. The food was okay, but nothing amazing. The tacos were actually much less than fine and the breakfast burrito was pretty basic and bland. Their in-house salsa was good, but didnt make up for everything else.
Food quality has declined. Everything was very watery… watery green juice and tomato sauce and refined beans with eggs were liquid… too bad as this place used to be great.
Delicious food although a little under seasoned. Service is great. Be prepared to wait on weekends
Great stop. Was looking for a cup of coffee driving through Sausalito and stumbled upon this place. First of all, everyone working here was over the top friendly and helpful. Great spot sitting outside. Great breakfast. My wife saw someone with a BLT and the bread looked great, asked if she could get toast with that bread and they went back in, figured out what bread it had been and out came some awesome grilled toast. Perfect to sop up the yolk from our Huevos Rancheros.
Best breakfast I have eaten in a long time. Delicious, large servings, delivered fast!! The waitress was super friendly and attentive.
Is this the little place across from C&R Automotive? Cool...coffee is great, service is also great. Trick is getting in and out if you are driving Mill Valley traffic.
Great breakfast place with nice authentic selection!
Rude staff, won’t let you change seats if you don’t like where you’re sitting and they’ll tell you in a blatantly rude way. The lazy manager would rather have upset customers than wipe down the table and let his customers switch tables. This is the type of restaurant that shouldn’t have survived the pandemic. The manager has no respect for new customers trying to have a nice meal at this less than average restaurant. I suggest you elsewhere to have a regular breakfast with better customer service.
Incredible waitstaff, delicious food. We got the breakfast sandwich, a side of fries, and two tacos. We loved all dishes! Will definitely visit again. Make the stop!
Randomly found this spot on our way to Muir Woods. The food is really good. There is a bit of a wait time but it totally worth it. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. I ordered a vegetarian scrambled egg and chicken sausage. Absolutely delish! If you are around please drop by! And oh yes the staff are super nice as well :)
Great food, classic vibe, very friendly service. This is a great little spot. We got breakfast and lunch meals for the 4 of us and everyone enjoyed their food.
I love this place but it needs a little guidance. Maybe I’ve had too many years in the Hospitality industry. There’s some kind of magic for me here...
The hash was fantastic some of the best I ever had. The coffee was ok nothing to write home about. Service was good enough. I would definitely go back for more if the hash.
Breakfast and coffee shop service was great well go back again
Reasonably priced delicious food and excellent service!
Stumptowns not my favorite cup, but the food, outdoor dining area, and service is great!!
Worst huevos rancheros on the planet. They charged me for a couple slices of pickled jalapeños, werent even roasted fresh. Tortillas arent homemade. No bell peppers or onions with the huevos. Beans came from a can. Huevos were bland. Huevos were swimming in water. No hashbrowns with the meal. Ill never return. Save your money
Very easy ordering to-go, super fast & foid was delicious! I will definitely be back!
I was first introduced to Huevos Rancheros at The Shoreline Cafe as a little girl with my two brothers. As a child I was a picky eater and would be a rare occurrence to stray from pancakes for my breakfast of choice. One time I tried my dads Huevos Rancheros and loved it! My breakfast horizons had forever been expanded. Ever since I moved out of Marin county I had been on the hunt for a new restaurant that met my Huevos Rancheros standards and still to this day have not found a restaurant quite like The Shoreline Cafe. Thankfully I have moved back to the area and will gladly jump at the opportunity to come and get a delicious plate of Huevos Rancheros.Over the decades since the early 90s my father would take my two brothers and myself to breakfast, we have since grown up and moved away to our own homes. Even when I grab breakfast by myself the owner asked how my brothers and father are doing. The staff is friendly and I was amazed they remembered my family and me from so long ago. Now thats attention to detail that is seldom seen today.As long as theyre open I would gladly come to eat at The Shoreline Cafe, a true place of old Mill Valley nostalgia!
I dont leave alot of reviews but they deserve this one amazing breakfast food we all got different foods all of it was awesome thanks for the service too fantastic
Magic breakfasts. My favorite place to eat for quality, health and flavor.
Nestled in a corner of a little mall, this little diner offers classic diner food alongside Mexican-inspired creations. Yes, for breakfast there’s the traditional 2 eggs, toast and bacon but you can also get mole eggs with lime crema and pico de gallo. At lunch dig into a tuna melt, BLT, chicken enchiladas, or the flavorful conchinita pork (as a wrap, taco or sandwich). There’s outdoor seating, which is really nice on a sunny day.
Breakfast was very good.
Great outdoor patio nustled off the road
Horrible food. Might have been a bad day....
This place looked good from outside but was way below our expectationsOrdered pancake which was burnt and was not at all fluffyAlso ordered has brown which was burnt too !
Certainly over-rated, seems like management changed and now is rolling down the hill. My huevos rancheros had an old salsa and my wifes burrito had recently unfrozen ingredients. Not coming back
Small place, quick service, beef hash is the one to get.
Best kept brunch secret in Marin
No flavored coffee/latte. Best place if you are craving for only mocha and cappuccino.
Great food
Love this little place. Good coffee, yummy donuts, and snacks! I’d highly suggest checking it out!!
From the moment you arrive in that restaurant they give you a pleasant feeling. Very warm crew, it is a kind place to go out with friends or with your date. yummy food, skillful chef de cuisine, honest price and nice service. Highly recommended.
All I can say is WOW! We randomly found this coffee spot on google while searching for local breakfast spots. The atmosphere is very warm, the staff super friendly and the food.... amazing.The mole is homemade and easily the best I’ve had but coupled with eggs and hash browns for breakfast, it’s a game changer. Bottom line, Shoreline Coffeemaker Shop is great place to grab a good cup of coffee and an excellent breakfast.
Great food great service except they do not like parties of one so they ran me off
Nice people, great food. This is my favorite place for bedfast/early lunch.
Service wasnt cool.
Casual cafe with plenty of options in the menu. People are friendly and the cafe is quite busy. it may take sometime to order and get your food. I had breakfast and coffee here and was happy with the food and the service.
Really good food and service. The breakfast sandwich is awesome!
Nice tucked away outdoor seating area. Mexican dishes primarily and a neighborhood stop.
Sweet and perfect service from a young server who meets you eye level. Food is good, not great, but what you want when you want it. My Patty Melt was awesome.Great neighborhood spot.
Friendly, prompt service, excellent menu choices, fair prices. Multicultural offerings, really well prepared. I will come back.
Too cute! Gotta stop here, even if just for a cup of coffee. Amazing views and super quaint.
Great food! Recommend the eggamuffin, especially. Stumptown coffee, too, tasty!
Mexican style diner. Fast service. Breakfast burrito was great, coffee was good and their home hot sauce was really tasty.
Super chill good food
Charming experience. Rustic bistro in the heart of Mill Valley with a delicious menu.
Unassuming cafe with excellent and delicious offerings. I highly recommend this place as Ive never ordered two sets of toasts, but their rustic toasted and buttered bread with their high quality apricot jam is irresistible! 😋 Their seasonal veggie omelette was beyond my expectations and the hash browns were wonderful and not oily.I was a bit concerned when I saw the old hand drawn menu and the modest assortment of pasteries. It looked like an average cafe, but the food and coffee were top notch and its literally a hidden gem!
Great eggs, hashbrowns, and crispy bacon. Best in Bay Area.
So this review is based solely on the coffee and almond croissant I bought there. Coffee is horrible. Almond croissant is pretty good. Since it said coffee shop, I walked in expecting it to be just that, wanted to get a quick coffee before catching the Muir woods shuttle. Didnt realize it was a full on diner.
This place is worth a try. They have large portions for fair rates. Regularly neat and with good character. Will visit here again.
Safe service Delicious food. Great customer Service.
An amazing place with delicious, classic meals. We loved the vibe, although the staff were really slow.
Tasty food and good service.
The breakfast sandwiches here are the best! Very friendly service, ethically sourced meat, and delicious juices as well.
We have had breakfast here twice now and they definitely do not let you down. The coffee is amazing and their stuff French toast is absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend this place to anyone to try.
Their daily specials are great. Love the old school diner feel with current flavors and dishes.
Food was excellent! I recommend the breakfast barrito and tacos. Great local diner with fresh food and yummy coffee. Only bad thing was service was a bit slow, but that may have been because we were in the far back corner.
My first restaurant experience with covid. UghI was rushed to order, chased for not waiting for a bill since I left cash, and my granola had 1 piece of fruit. Not comfortable at all. Go there if you want to spend 50 bucks on ok food and an anxious staff.
Great coffee, great breakfast. Will definitely come back.
Cool little dinner w old school feel, average options. Huevos rancheros was delicious
Theres more than meets the eye here. Flapjacks were great and so was the coffee (other coffee shop and diner owners take note!). Good service and price, considering everything is local and organic!
Good for families and love the tasty eggy-muffin breakfast item!
I liked the ambiance (or lack of it as coffee shops should be),but I found the food overpriced and very mediocre. The presentation of the food on the plate was sloppy on old mis-matched plates.The coffee was not good (was it Sanka)? and it cost $3.50! If the coffee had been a nice diner price like $1.50 I probably wouldve let this entire review go..
Ive been going to this place for 15 or 20 years whenever I get on my vintage motorcycle with my buddies and go for a ride on . We tank up at the local gas station and then come in here and have a simple good breakfast and then peel off heading up to Marshal or the coast in points North returning to Stinson Beach for a nice glass of wine before heading over the hill. Definitely check it out the wait staff is very very friendly and the food is simple and good.
Redone menu is interesting
Very good coffee! Yummy scrambled eggs as well!
I just moved from SF and my boyfriend surprised me and I am in love with this place. The menu is creative, healthy and gluten free option. Coffee is super strong and dark but not bitter, so its perfect. I tend to get the avocado with toast and the eggs on the side. Service isnt the best but never rude so Im ok with that.
Great local place for coffee and good selection ofblends.
I like it! Truthfully, it took me years to finally wander in...I had Oatmeal -it was luke warm... and upon request - instantly corrected by a cheery chef. Good menu! Localhangout.
Great savory breakfast options, and great crispy hash browns, but not my favorite pancakes and not fond of the French toast. Service is fast and friendly, and food doesnt take long to come out. Also organic!
Very good coffee, but I dont get the hoopla. I ordered the Machaca Hash, minus one egg. It was mainly potatoes and I was charged for both eggs. Unless the potatoes (or eggs) are magic — a ridiculous dish at 15 dollars.
Sleeper location...great food!
Great diner-style coffee shop, very popular. Food is great, service quick and friendly. Meats are all free-range/humane.
Updated retro coffee shop serves up innovative and traditional breakfast and lunch dishes using organic and top-shelf ingredients. Other options have a Latin flare. Try the milkshakes, egg dishes or grilled cheese and tomato soup.
The personnel there is super nice and friendly ohh and their coffee is simply the best in the area I just looooove it!! 💕🙂
Friendly little place with parking in front and a convenient store across the road. Good place to catch coffee and breakfast. And they open early too.
Great diner style mexican/ american food. So clean, great service. They keep the grill clean. My meal was very good. All as it should be!
Great little place. Fresh clean food. Cozy atmosphere fair prices
Very well prepared interesting dishes. Good service. Prices are higher and portions smaller than i like for a breakfast place.
Great food. Good service. Expensive but delicious
Asked for a simple decaf coffee, to go. Seemed like a waste of time for the short latin guy. When i changed my mind to an Americano, this guy gave me attitude and didnt want to pour out half of the coffee! NEVER going there, again...
One of my favorite breakfast spots, usually crowded though, but food is gooood
Excellent food in a great location. Friendly service. Love the organic and locally sourced products.
Love this place. Small diner that hasnt changed much since 1962. All organic and locally sourced.
So good. Love their breakfast menu. Not the cleanest looking or the best service but I always leave full and happy. Highly recommend!!
YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE!!Sorry (not sorry!!) to yell, but (seriously!!) you do need to eat here. Holy cow, I hate traveling about in new places and not being sure of where the great food is ... Let me tell you: The GREAT FOOD is RIGHT HERE!! From the delicious coffee (and we got boring old black coffee) to the fresh & lovely Green Drink (mmm!!), you cannot go wrong. My hubby enjoyed his burger (and hes a flat-out burger professional 😁😂🤣) - he had the one with habañero blue cheese 😳 which he doesnt even LIKE blue cheese, yet he loved the way this particular burger tasted! I had the Tennessee Valley Toast 💖 a most delicious slice of rustic bread (we ordered an additional side of this bread with jam ... yummy!!) topped with avocado (NOT a skimpy amount either!) and wilted kale with a couple PERFECTLY fried, sunny-side-up eggs (not runny, yet still so softly cooked!!). We added a side of Cabot Cheddar & Jalapeño hash browns, too...I wish I wasnt stuffed and that we have to move on with our day, leaving beautiful breakfast behind ... !! Id eat it all again this instant 😆
