Cafe Z Epicerie – Greenbrae – I really love Cafe Z. It helps that it is across the street from my office, but the food is stellar too. Crepes, great omelettes, yummy yogurt/granola/ fruit bowl.
Half Day Cafe – Kentfield – Amazing scones, tons of variety on the menu, great Kentfield location, nice atmosphere, plenty of seating. You can catch me Half Day Cafe often!
Dipsea Cafe – Mill Valley – A class Marin breakfast spot, Dipsea has to make my list. Still one of my favorites, all though the service has been really slow the last few times I have been here.
La Boulange – Mill Valley – The best lattes. Truly. Get the latte bowl! The quiche is amazing too.
Toast- Mill Valley – Huevos Rancheros. Enough said. Actually, I love almost everything I have tried at Toast. The service is always excellent, the food is delicious. Great for breakfast or lunch.
Hilda’s Coffee Shop- San Anselmo – Hilda’s is true greasy spoon and it is fabulous. Everything on the menu is excellent but the german pancakes? Out of this world. Share a stack with a friend.
Greenbrae, Kentfield, Larkspur- oh my!

Many people are surprised to find out I live in Larkspur when they thought I lived in Greenbrae but I have a Kentfield zip code. Did I confuse you?
Our little cities in Marin County are so close together, I think it is confusing to everyone. So how does this whole city/town/county thing work in Marin?
Part of Greenbrae is unincorporated, meaning it is not part of a city or town with its own government. Another part of Greenbrae is incorporated into Larkspur. Need a building permit and you live in that half of Greenbrae? You go to the City of Larkspur. Live in the unincorporated are of Greenbrae? Permits and other services fall under the domain of Marin County.
The zip code for Greenbrae is 94904. 94904 is also the Kentfield zip code. Like Greenbrae, Kentfield is also unincorporated.
The school district for Greenbrae is not the Corte Madera -Larkspur School District, it is in the Kentfield School District. Go figure.
Got it?
