Crema's Take
“Double Rainbow is a rare dual-threat spot where excellent Red Whale specialty coffee shares the spotlight with their legendary house-made ice cream, drawing a genuinely warm crowd of regulars and families who linger for hours.

If you want specialty drinks and pastries in a place where people actually want to hang around and get to know the staff, this is worth the detour to downtown San Rafael.”
What to expect
