Get the mixed berry pancake! My kid loved the potatoes which were seasoned lightly with herbs. Bacon and eggs were okay, pretty standard. Sourdough was quite crunch, a bit hard to eat. Overall, the breakfast fueled us up for a long day at the park! We came in early on a Monday morning. Parking is super limited in front but was able to find street parking about a block away. The diner style place had a few, what appeared to be regular customers at the counter, and a few at tables. The waiter was attentive but also very aware of giving me time / space to enjoy my time there. The menu had lots of options and prices were a bit higher but for the area it seemed typical. I shared the breakfast plate with my 3yr old and it was plenty for the both of us. It ended up being about $21 with taxes/fees.
Away from the overcrowded shopping centers, slightly hidden in a nice neighborhood, this cafe serves delicious food and provides exceptional service. They do not serve Dinner but on the weekends, they serve bottomless mimosas The Lighthouse Cafe has an extensive breakfast menu so don't hesitate to try something new.
Liked this place a lot. Good brunch options, good clean bathroom, good service. Relaxed atmosphere. Stopped here on the way to Muir Woods and it was a good choice.
I had one of the best omelets I have ever had this morning here, the Norwegian omelet with lightly smoked salmon, spinach and a dollop of either cream cheese or sour cream - heaven. Hubby had a short stack of blueberry pancakes he said were delicious. Big portions, perfectly cooked food, friendly & fast service. Color us happy!
Great variety of Eggs Bennys Totally enjoyed sitting outside with my buddy talking to others all having some combo of the eggs Benedict! Service was pretty good but not as attentive given it was really busy! It was affordable! Look at the pictures of the zesty hollandaise sauce! I added a few photos as well. Been twice and will go again next time! Highly recommended!
Wanted to try a new brunch place in Marin and found this cute little spot. They have of great options on the menu. Their bottomless mimosas is only $14 on weekends which is a steal! I ordered the eggs Benedict & crab/lobster melt. Couldn't decide on one so we got both. Eggs Benedict 8/10 The hashbrowns were amazing Would even order as a side to eat on their own The eggs Benedict were lacking on the sauce And one egg on each of our plates were over cooked Crab/lobster melt 10/10 This was sooo good The fries were crispy and well seasoned Was craving it again even after we left Will def be coming here again
Loveeeeee a lil cute quaint cafe! Corte Madera is adorable and as an out of town NYer I was looking for a spot that's native to the town, something I can't get anywhere else. While the menu may be standard, the food is sourced locally and all freshly made. I had the steak sandwich and cole slaw and lemme tell you something, FRESH BABY! Somebody was back there making everything from SCRATCH! That ciabatta roll, the perfect balance of crunch yet softness. The onions & peppers were perfectly caramelized and the Swiss cheese compacted it all together. Def recommend!
