The Coffee Roastery

Nice local coffee shop with outdoor seating.

Since I have lived in San Anselmo, my favorite coffee shop for years was the original Coffee Roastery. I was quite upset when it closed. Now I go to the current Coffee Roastery because I like the decor, outside seating, and I believe it's owned by the previous owners of the Coffee Roastery that closed. The coffee and food are great. Since the location is not in the middle of the town, it's more calm and quiet. It's a nice place for families, or someone that just wants to sit and have a good latte.

I come here almost every Sunday and in the last few months, they close the doors at 4PM or 4:30PM - even if the place is filled with people. According to their posted hours, they're open until 6PM, so not sure if it's the workers making that decision or if the owners changed the hours. Feels like they're kicking people out early because they want to leave. Not a friendly vibe.

The coffee and the snacks/pastries are good.

They make a great kids coco with whip, mini marshmallows, and syrup drizzle! The Egg and Sausage sandwich is also a favorite in our family. Great location and coffee. Nice to sit inside with big door open or on outside patio. Good tunes and wifi. Kids love watching the beans roast right there on site. Thank you!

The vibe was good, the service wasn't lacking...

... But the coffee was awful. Hence the two stars, as that was the whole point of the visit.

I really wanted that coffee. The baby was fussy, the toddler going non stop; I wanted to stick my coffee in between putting out fires and enjoy it.

I could not. Out of something akin to desperation, I drank as much as I could, but I absolutely hated every sip, and I couldn't finish it.

McDonald's next time???

Enjoyed my coffee and I liked the location. The warm sun on a cool morning is usually welcome while sipping my coffee. The Coffee Roastery has a huge menu. Something for almost everyone.

The best roasted coffee in Marin County. Terrific menu and great atmosphere with excellent wireless internet. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating.

Nice place and clean, food and pastries are good and coffee is great. Nice area outside to sit at tables, or benches on the sidewalk in the sun. Staff are nice and the owner is a really good guy, they also have a public bulletin board that is heavily used.

Excellent coffees, friendly staff... The only bummer is the credit card machine won't give you an option to leave a tip for the wonderful staff.

Good selection of coffee beans to-go, but the drinks were expensive and just ok.
