Red Whale Coffee

Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Espresso flavorful but ask for it as a short pull and tea well brewed! Great shop for coffee fanatic supplies, liked the rock memorabilia and pinball machines. Cool set up all around and will def be back to investigate more roast!

Red Whale rocks. Great service, great ambience, great coffee. Just discovered this place and I would definitely come out of my way to come back here. I forgot to order my coffee decaf and they remade it for me free of charge even though I had the cash in my hand. Made me feel very valued as a customer. Infinitely better than your average Starbucks experience. 5 stars.

Best coffee shop in town! I ordered a mocha and its the best I’ve ever had! Staff was quick and friendly. Love the coffee art. Would definitely love to go back soon.

Laid back atmosphere with delicious coffee. Friendly baristas. Pinball machines and seating area in back. Cold brew made on site. Cold brew is great with different added flavor or not. Option of espresso ice ball for more caffeine if wanted too. All in all, I will return.

I never liked quiche all that much until the day I had their vegetable quiche… it wasn’t too eggy but rich in flavor from the mushrooms and onions. I was visiting for a work trip, and they had a food truck in the morning. Their latte and the croissant was amazing, as well as the person/(maybe owner) who was serving me.

Good quality beans and great tasting coffee. The light roast from Red Whale Coffee is closer to medium to me. I tried both Ethiopia (on the photo) and Nicaragua (Javanica).

I really want to like this place. It’s a small local chain nearby where I live. They have a great menu and good selection of pastries and sweet treats. I’ve been twice in the past two months. The first time, I got a cold brew. It tasted like burned hot coffee that had been refrigerated overnight. Most recently, I got a dirty chai latte. It was nearly flavorless and very watery. Couldn’t taste the espresso at all.

I think this is the best espresso in Marin. It's tucked away so I can't go there everyday, but I would! Anytime we head North or out to the wine country I stop in here and get an iced latte. The balance is just right.

Very nice staff and super great coffee ☕️

I like this place. It's a nice coffee shop and I can usually get in and out surprisingly quickly. They have a square card reader, and it keeps track of your points s ok that you can get a discounted drink every now and again. I love this, since I just dont like having punch cards in my purse.
The drinks are good and they have a nice variety of options to choose from. They also have a small number of baked goods in case you're hungry.
The people have all been fairly friendly, and overall it's just a nice little coffee shop.
The only downside I would say is a matter of personal preference. I like less acidic coffee, and I've asked for their least acidic blend in the past only to be given a cup that's still pretty dang acidic. This is a bummer since my drink of choice is honestly just a cup of coffee with a little bit of half and half. But now I stick to their lattes, which are all good and I dont have to worry about the acidity of the coffee. Not taking a star off of my review for this though, considering that's just personal preference. Just mentioning it so you'll know to get a latte instead if you have similar tastes.
