Kamson Coffee
819 Francisco Blvd W, San Rafael, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a San Rafael strip mall near the 101, this spot brings an unexpected Thai influence to specialty coffee that genuinely stands out—their Thai coffee beans and espresso are smooth and flavorful enough to have regulars coming back for more. The cozy interior with just a few small tables creates an intimate, quiet vibe perfect for a genuine coffee break rather than a rushed grab, and the warm hospitality (plus free wifi and bathrooms) makes it feel like a real destination rather than just a freeway pit stop. Whether you're heading to Napa or just passing through, their thoughtful approach to both traditional espresso and creative drinks like chai and matcha tea makes it worth the detour.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. Quick-grab spot. Parking available.

Free wifi and bathroom for customers. Very warm inside on a chilly day. There’s 3 small tables, which is a fair amount of seating. I came in a bit before 3pm on a Tuesday and no one was here- very quiet, which might be preferable if you want to read or get some work done on your…
The drinks are awesome. I haven’t tried one that didn’t make me want for more. The espresso also has lots of flavor and is smooth.
Thai coffee beans caught my eye when this place showed up in a search. So, we went to check it out. Location is in a strip mall close to the 101 freeway on-ramp and is surrounded by budget stores. Surroundings are modest and even though they have a couple outdoor seating…
Great place to stop off of 101 for a quick cup of coffee. They make a pretty good chai, and also have boba tea, which I’ll have to try next time.
