I'm not a breakfast girl, but Half Day Cafe sure turns me into one... a friend recommended their breakfast panini sandwich and when I tell you I can eat this sandwich every weekend, I'm so serious. Best breakfast sandwich I have had with delicious crispy hashbrowns. To make it even better they put spinach in the sandwich so your getting a little bit more nutrition from your typical breakfast sandwich (and I'm not a big greens person and it just makes sense that it's in this sandwich). LOVE.

The food was pretty good, the waffle is very light so if you're hungry get the pancakes. I would definitely recommend the fruit cup but if not at least the orange butter, it tastes pretty good if you like orange. The waffle has a very good consistency and the fruit tastes fresh. The service was very quick and the ambiance of the store is beautiful, very green and minimalistic with plants everywhere. Overall good breakfast experience.

I had a business meeting with another volunteer who recommended this outstanding casual morning and midday restaurant. It was a first visit for me. While new to me it has a long history of serving the community in a welcoming environment that serves fine coffees, pastries, snacks, sandwiches and MORE for all who walk through its doors. Yes, I enjoyed more than I should have done! If you want a light breakfast, delicious brunch or lunch with excellent friendly service this is the right restaurant to enjoy.

I'm a big fan of huevos rancheros ( as it's quite filling) so when I saw that on the menu, I knew I wanted to give it a try. The portion size was very generous and it was a good pick as a brunch item. Was not the best huevos rancheros I've ever had but it was ok and got the job done. I LOVED the crispy chip they put in the beans. Too bad there was only 1...that chip was a 10/10 and I gladly would have had more with my meal. To drink, I had a "freshly squeezed" orange juice, however, it did not taste like fresh orange juice to me and had that carton orange juice taste to it. The service was very fast and efficient! And the restaurant interior has a nice, rustic feel to it that feels homey.

Great service, lots of variety in menu, fast turnaround. Nice interior with light and high ceilings. Enjoyed the Hong Kong breakfast with two eggs- which was fried rice. I think the home potatoes with the vegetables and cheese were the star of the meal. Will be back!

I have been wanting to try Half Day Cafe for quite some time. I had brunch around the Holiday's with a dear friend. The food was delicious. I had an oat milk latte and the breakfast panini with hash browns. The sandwich has eggs, spinach, ham and cheese. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor combination was excellent. Plus I love panini sandwiches. One thing I want to mention is it is extremely loud when it's busy. I came on a Sunday and it was a full house. I could barely hear my friend. She also has hearing issues so it was difficult to hear each other. Besides parking on the street there is a parking lot behind the restaurant. The entrance is a little confusing since it's in the back.

I've been here a few times. They're pretty busy all the times I've been there for breakfast/brunch. The place is pretty big. The wait has never been too long and the staff has been nice. It's convenient if you take classes at the Marin Community College, as it's literally less than a block away. There's parking in the back but it gets full fast. You can try and find street parking (which is often limited to time) or pay $4 to park in the Marin Community College lot...and not worry about getting ticketed. I always heard the scones were popular here but every time I went they were sold out. Surprisingly, they had some when I went. These were HUGE! They were more like mini loaves. They came with softened butter that had a hint of orange or apricot (reminded me of the taste of jam). Unfortunately, I thought these were just ok. They were too dry for my taste. I had cut these in half to split amongst the table and it crumbled a lot. Our table ordered the veggie/tofu scramble & 2 eggs w/bacon and hash browns. The hash browns were cooked just right. A little crispy on the outside and not dry on the inside. All the dishes were good. I forgot to take pictures of the main dishes but will add next time I go again! I would come back here again if my friends and I were finding a place to get together and have brunch. It's always bustling with customers.

This place has been around for a long time and is very popular. Simple decor in a casual atmosphere. Service is straight forward and efficient. Good quality food with fresh ingredients. I had the blueberry pancakes that were light and fluffy. The side sausage was a patty and decent but I prefer the rolls. Scrambles and Benedict's are huge and you can customize. I recommend trying the house made scones they are excellent! The service everything with an orange butter that is unique. Great breakfast/brunch/lunch place!
