Garden Cafe - San Rafael

Great food, fast service and great atmosphere. Very friendly.

Great service, good food and nice environment. Welcoming with our two big GSD and brought them water without us asking. Thank you

Food are ok, they have plenty of outdoor seatings under red umbrellas so you get to enjoy the nice Californian weather without sunburns. Their coffee is hot and strong, better than most diners. They have fresh crab Benedict during the weekend, also on the day we went, they had lobster Benedict. We tried both, both were very underwhelming. The portion of crab or lobster were very tiny. For the crab one, I couldn’t taste any crab, can just see some white floss crumbled that’s drenched in oil. We may have enjoyed our food more if we ordered others, but wouldn’t recommend any of the above 2 dishes. Parking: There’s a Safeway parking lot right next to the restaurant, otherwise it’s hard to find street parking.

We usually take friends here for brunch when they visit San Rafael. Great selection, presentation, and nothing yet on the menu has disappointed. I had the Alexander 1 breakfast which is pretty healthy. If you do cardio still, the Hawaiian burger is yummy. Parking: 2 hour parking on B Street adjacent to the restaurant goes quick in the morning. Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu and reasonably priced.

Great atmosphere for brunch. Attentive staff. Decent food.
