Golden Gate Market
221 2nd St, Sausalito, CA
Crema's Take
“This waterfront Sausalito spot earns serious praise for its espresso drinks—reviewers repeatedly highlight it as serving some of the best cortados in town—and its remarkable sandwiches, particularly a lox bagel that locals still daydream about. The Bay views and spacious indoor-outdoor seating make it an ideal neighborhood gathering place for a long, leisurely breakfast, though fair warning: service can be inconsistent and pricing runs high. When the team is on, though, you're looking at genuinely memorable coffee and food in a charming old-town setting.”

Wonderful location and potential. However, elevated pricing, rude service, and difficult usage of the deli or cafe make it a real bummer. Advice to management: fire the team, make it much much easier and pleasant to order a sandwich, make it not feel like an unnecessary burden to order the 3 dollar pint, and hire some people who don’t act like they hate working there and hate us for visiting.
Of three cortados in town that we tried, this one was the best! GF breakfast sandwich with polenta/cheese-type bun was fun to try but felt unhealthy. Waited a VERY long time for my bagel lox sandwich (w tomato, onion, sprouts) to come out from the deli. Official story (after two check-ins) was the oven was broken so it was taking longer to use a toaster oven. Many folks/couples/dogs after me were in and out w their orders before my sandwich arrived. Others in my party ordered and finished a second round of drinks before my sandwich arrived.
That sandwich was one of the greatest I have ever had. I still think about it to this day
Great coffee, perfect barista and view of it the Bay make this a perfect stop for breakfast coffee in a neighborhood market and cafe. Siteglass beans gave or cappuccinos the right amount of burn and bean, complemented by a ginger pull apart and berry scone made for the perfect fuel for a morning hike in the close by Marin headlands. A great find.
Best coffee and sandwiches in Marin at Golden Gate market located in charming old Town Sausalito. Plenty of space outdoors or indoors to sit and relax while you enjoy your meal and watch the world go by or to do last minute shopping for dinner. Plenty of parking on site. Away from the hustle and busle. Highly recommend.
