Crema's Take
“This Jewish deli-bagel shop in Larkspur wins real fans for its pastrami sandwiches and unexpected Eastern European comfort food like pelmeni and latkes, but the 3.9 rating reflects genuine frustration: inconsistent execution, steep prices relative to portion size, and the sense that you're paying Marin markups for casual bagel-shop quality. If you're craving a legitimately good pastrami sandwich or nostalgic Jewish-Ukrainian food and don't mind the cost, it's worth trying; if you want reliable value or consistently excellent execution, skip it.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Never thought that I will find Pelmeni (Dumplings) in such a bagel place. Of course it’s not the same as it was in Ukraine on mom’s kitchen but, it’s pretty meaty and full of taste. Surprised and happy!
Loveski’s pastrami, egg, and cheese bagel is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever consumed (I’ve eaten many). Reuben was also exceptional. Kids love the latkes and everyone loves the matzo ball soup.
I want to share this with you—this place is absolutely amazing! I got the Tribute sandwich, a 10-ounce pastrami sandwich, and let me tell you, I haven’t experienced such flavor in a long time. This pastrami sandwich is out of this world—just incredible! I’m extremely satisfied.…
This place is great. Interesting take on their Reuben sandwich, though, the meat is in chunks rather than slices that you’re used to. But the overall flavor of the sandwich was delicious and will definitely come back. I’m not a big fan of the pickles, I guess they’re homemade…
This place is a complete joke. For example they serve a $22 panini with about $3 worth of actual raw input costs. Marin/ Sausalito/ San Rafael restaurants and shopping are rarely about value and more about overcharging the locals based on property values/ incomes…But this place…
