Cable Car Coffee

First time here, I ordered a large latte and plain croissant. The latte was “ready” in seconds, huge red flag. It was lukewarm and watered-down, as if they poured hot water into an old latte. The croissant was mass-produced and stale. Terrible experience and very disappointing. I’d recommend Equator in Mill Valley or Sausalito, or Fox and Kit in San Rafael.

We used to be regular customers before the pandemic—delicious coffee and tea drinks and a wide variety of tasty foods. That part hasn’t changed, but when I visited today for the second time this week and attempted to redeem a loyalty punch card we had with 11 of the 10 required stamps on it, the manager got really hostile, really quickly. Rather than saying—“new ownership; sorry, can’t accept the old card,” he insisted on arguing that there were not enough stamps on the card (there clearly were, though a past employee had put two in the wrong place). He kept insisting I was counting wrong and acted like I was trying to scam him. He said some of the stamps were in Sharpie, and I said, the guy who rang me up two days ago marked it with a Sharpie! Eventually he let me redeem the card, but ignored me when I asked if the new owner had a loyalty program, interrupting me saying, “thank you” by saying a firm, “BYE!” and turning away. The mocha was delicious, and I was all ready to restart my Cable Car Coffee habit, but this experience left such a bad taste in my mouth I’m not sure I’ll be back any time soon.

I was there today around 11am and service was incredible.. I take my italian espresso as always and the croissants with chocolate.. delicious

Nice, quick drive-thru coffee. Recommend the apple fritter.

Mocha freeze was not frozen, tasted like semi-warm chocolate sludge. Amazed this place is still in business.

Rude, fat Mexican guy wouldn't even make my drink in my own cup . You'd think being so close to the ocean sustainability would be high on your priorities but not this fatty!

Mediocre coffee, required masks in my own car. Not worth your time.

Disgusting, my cappuccino went straight into the trash.
