Marin Coffee Roasters
546 San Anselmo Ave, San Rafael, CA
Crema's Take
“This San Rafael roastery charms with its vibrant atmosphere, complete with live jazz performances and a welcoming outdoor patio that makes it feel like a genuine community gathering spot. Their signature Mexican mocha is a standout—rich and distinctive enough to have earned devoted fans—and they pair it well with quality breakfast and fresh pastries that actually warrant a special trip. Weekend mornings get properly bustling with the kind of energy that suggests people are coming for the experience, not just grabbing coffee on their way.”

Busy on weekend mornings (usually a good sign). Iced coffee and a fresh bagel, hit the spot. Worth a stop if you’re in the area. Live music was a nice touch.
Fairly dirty and gross interior. Employees are not friendly, care more about their own conversations than helping customers. No wonder Starbucks and Peet's are killing it. They are 10x cleaner and have nicer employees that actually care. We won't be back.
Lovely entrance and great atmosphere!
Mexican mocha was sooo delicious. And this group of 3 guys was playing the most delightful jazz
Awesome coffee, breakfast, and lunch. Their Mexican mocha is eye-popping- just what I needed today. Not too crowded during church hours on Sunday. Today they had a very pleasant jazz electric guitarist setting the mood. With that background I got my brain in gear and was able to finish some work!
