Best KPortal Reviews
Coffee, terrific lunch, avocado toast, all in Mill Valley, the cafe is Heaven. The bookstore is Paradise. Thank you for making our trip to Northern California absolutely outstanding. Mill Valley is gorgeous.
Loved browsing through the small bookstore and enjoying their large chocolate chocolate chip cookie. So large and flavorful yet so light! It’s fun for visitors and locals to sit outside and enjoy downtown Mill Valley. A couple of small tables available inside.
Awesome spot right in the heart of downtown mill valley. The place combines a cafe / restaurant and a cute little book store with a highly curated selection of books.
My last time here I only got coffee beverages. All of the coffee drinks were good. No complaints. But it’s nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing wrong with that. The food has been reliable, but nothing to travel from out of town for.
Where the place really excels is the service and atmosphere. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. The place is situated right in the heart of downtown mill valley. It’s just a great spot to be. It feels like you’re literally in a valley full of trees. Air also always smells nice and fresh. Additionally, the place has great out door seating and it often has live music (see video clips).
Another benefit is that it’s open latter than a lot of places in Mill Valley. For instance, today it was the only place open after 6pm in the area serving coffee.
This is a spot I frequent - and will continue to do so.
On a Monday morning there were couples grabbing a morning cup, friends catching up, retirees hanging out, collaboration meet-ups and laptop-focused singleton employees gathered at the cafe. The menu was inspiring and very reasonably priced for the Bay Area. The mocha was delicious as was the almond bear claw pastry. Love the high ceilings and bright and light environment here.
Italian soda & Chicken Noodle soup next to a warm, open fire????…the best in NorCal…right in the heart of Mill Valley ❤️
Only $14 for a delicious open face toasted NY bagel with cream cheese, capers, sliced tomato and red onion - what a great deal! This would easily be twice the price in the east bay. Great service and casual Sunday morning ambience - great fun to eavesdrop on the opinionated book store argument background noise punctuated by the espresso machine.
Our Y took us on a field trip to Mill Valley and Sausalito. We stopped by this nice Cafe, and checked out the bookstore. Cool items in there, found some stickers for my granddaughter. Thank you - everyone so nice.
Ordered a cup of cappuccino and tiramisu to dine in. However, cash only rang up the coffee. Also, cashier asked "for here or to go". I already mentioned for dine-in. Cashier is not concentrating on her job and needs to retrained.
