Cable Car Coffee
773 Redwood Hwy, Mill Valley, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in a charming cable car structure right on Mill Valley's streets, this spot delivers reliable espresso drinks and Italian-style pastries at prices that won't break the bank—think perfect cappuccinos for five bucks. The iconic setup attracts both drive-thru regulars rushing to work and road-trippers looking for a quirky pit stop with wetland views and surprisingly friendly service. Fair warning: consistency varies a bit, but when they nail it, locals keep coming back for that no-fuss quality and nostalgic atmosphere.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries and light food on the menu. Drive-thru.

Satisfying black coffee served from a cute cable car. Wetlands make a fine backdrop for together time on a road trip. Close and convenient to the highway.
Great little place. It looks like a drive up only but we walked up & they do have some outdoor seating. Decent coffee, quick service, super-friendly staff, and even the quick-heat breakfast burritos were pretty good! (I had the green chile.) And you can't beat the prices. If I…
