The Best Breakfast Spots In Marin County California

Ready to escape the city for a leisurely day in Marin? Start off your adventure at one of these fine breakfast joints. Not only will breakfast be the most important meal of your day, it will also be the most delicious.

Rustic Bakery

Reminiscent of a French Bistro, Rustic Bakery is the perfect spot for a quick, casual breakfast. A favorite among locals since it opened its doors in Larkspur, Rustic Bakery now has two additional locations in Marin. You can snack on delicious, house-made pastries or a variety of soups, sandwiches, and salads. Top it off with the famous Stumptown drip coffee. Outdoor seating offers the perfect spot for repose on a lazy weekend morning, or if you’re in a rush, Rustic Bakery’s delicacies can just as easily be taken to go. If you need any more reason to head over, the Pope personally chose Rustic Bakery to cater his flights during his recent visit to the States. Talk about holy bread.

Lundy’s Home Cooking

Fred’s Place

A staple in the Sausalito community, Fred’s boasts both hefty breakfast specialties and a prime waterfront location. Favorite dishes here include the french toast and millionaire’s bacon, though every dish is guaranteed to leave you satiated. The wait for weekend brunch is surprisingly reasonable, and friendly, hometown vibes will make you want to come early and stay until closing.

Theresa & Johnny’s Comfort Food

With armchairs scattered throughout the space and eclectic knick-knacks hanging from the walls, Theresa and Johnny’s is a retro, hodgepodge restaurant that serves unique breakfast dishes. Signature plates are the Crispy French Toast, which is fried to perfection, and the Swedish pancakes. The huge portions are perfect for sharing, though it may be hard to give up your last bite. Bring cash, as Theresa and Johnny’s doesn’t accept cards, and be prepared to experience breakfast in a whole new way.

The Hummingbird

Started by a Louisiana family, The Hummingbird has some of the best Cajun-comfort cooking you’ll find, period. Thinking outside the ‘toast, bacon, and eggs’ box, the Hummingbird serves chicken and waffles, Dungeness crab benedicts, and good ol’ gumbo. Wash it down with black coffee and a few powdered-sugar beignets, and you’ll be in an elated state (and possibly a food coma). The Hummingbird fills up quickly for weekend brunch, so arrive early to put your name on the list.
