Red Whale Coffee

Coffee wasn’t great, pastry’s are definitely not fresh they were very stale like they leave them leftover. The service was alright but the staff here seems so stressed out probably from the owner who is constantly yelling at them without caring who’s around. The owner is a very nasty, unhappy man and you can see it in the poor staffs face, they were working as quickly as possible.
The place itself is pretty small but nobody’s there to stay too long anyway. I’d recommend Pink Owl Coffee or Equator 100x, Starbucks even!

Whoa, what a gem! Tucked into some random industrial commercial zone is some of the best coffee around. They've got pin ball machines(!!), great zucchini bread and really high quality coffee, not to mention their homemade brewed chai. Went there on a whim and wasn't disappointed. Looks like a great place to hang out too.

This place is adorable! The coffee is superb. Top of the line! Front makes it look small but come to hang. It's huge! Baristas are awesome and this is a must stop when in area.

A hidden gem.
I finally made it to Red Whale Coffee last month, I had a „Long Black“ to go, which really was better than many Americanos I’ve had.
Also bought some coffee beans from Mexico which were a bit pricey but worth every cent.
Friendly and very helpful staff made for an overall great Experience, I hope to be back soon!

Top quality coffee, equipment, pastries and pinball machines. This is where the hot bean magic happens. Sweet lounge in the back, very chill environment/atmosphere. These people are serious about the quality of their coffee. Self serve microwave sandwiches seem a bit lazy, and it's strange to ask for milk or creme behind the counter rather than offered at the fixer station, but otherwise a very special coffee treat.

Vanilla Latte is extremely good, hot or cold. On rare occasion it's so good it could bring tears to my eyes.

Consider contactless payment for the pinball machines, would play so hard!

Really fun coffee shop! Great latte and my friend had a very good hot chai. The man who served us was kind and friendly. Loved the cute back game room/lounge, but wish there had been a little more seating. Parking is difficult, but that's not their fault. Will definitely come again.

I go here every weekend! BEST coffee in Marin hands down. You literally cannot go wrong with your order. The Maple Late is something special though.

YOU GOTTA TRY THE BAKED GOODIES 😍

I've been coming here almost since the place opened, whenever I'm in town, which is about four times a year. The coffee has always been great and the space just keeps getting cooler. Be sure to check the back room for pinball, relaxing places to sit and lots of other goodies. The availability of cold brew here is unparalleled. If you like cold brew this is the place for you. The espressos and milk drinks are excellent, overall the roasts they use are fantastic. For a small period of time, during the pandemic, it seemed that they were having trouble with staff and i had a few pulls that were sub-par, but this year everything is back on track and the service and pulls have been excellent again. I'm happy to support this local business and hope they stay in business for many years. If you're in the area be sure to take the time to visit.

Had a poor experience with these folks at the SF coffee festival - we wanted to ask if we could substitute the espresso in their samples to which we were told no, we totally understood that substitutions were not possible and we didn’t say anything else, but the server was SO rude and continued after to say things like “what’s wrong with you” and was very dismissive to us. Maybe this guy was having a bad day, but regardless we felt that we did nothing to justify his rude service and if this is how the brand wants to promote themself at a very public event, I would not recommend anyone this place.
