The Lighthouse Café
12 Tamalpais Dr, San Rafael, CA
Crema's Take
“This San Rafael breakfast favorite earns consistent praise for thoughtfully prepared food and genuinely attentive service that makes both solo coffee drinkers and large family groups feel welcome. The spacious, appealing interior opens onto outdoor seating with lovely views, while their consideration for details like offering oat and almond creamers alongside quality coffee sets a welcoming tone for all kinds of dietary preferences. Whether you're settling in for a leisurely sit with pastries or fueling up on their well-seasoned, homemade breakfast dishes, The Lighthouse Café feels like the kind of place that remembers why people linger over coffee.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
