Equator

Tried a delicious frittata breakfast sandwich. The coffee was very nice and everyone there provided excellent service. There is very limited indoor seating but an outdoor patio that should provide seats for everyone. The decor was bicycle themed and there were to go bowls in a refrigerator. They have whole bean coffee to purchase and local Dendelion Chocolate ✨❣️

A charming coffee house serving specialty lattes and delicious pastries. The Habibi Latte was a standout - the blend of cardamom and orange created a uniquely refreshing flavor. The cardamom buns were also so delicious - soft, rich in spice, and beautifully braided with a great texture. Such a lovely spot to relax and enjoy a treat!

Charming shop off the beaten path, quaint interior with small seating area, and larger outdoor patio seating. Friendly service and top tier coffee! Tucked away in a quiet corner of the city, this hidden gem deserves to be shouted about! The aroma of freshly brewed coffee drew me in on a cool summer morning. The baristas greeted me like an old friend. Their passion for craft coffee was evident in every meticulously poured latte. The coffee? Absolute perfection. They have a handful of specialty drinks, each with a unique personality behind it, and the flavors—think bright citrus notes or deep, chocolatey undertones—dance on your palate. It’s the kind of spot where time slows down, perfect for savoring a quiet moment or catching up with a friend. This isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a little haven of joy. Do yourself a favor and discover this treasure!

Bring on the Jaguar! Equator Coffees has always been known for their intentionally curated strong coffee. The Oat Milk Latte was delicious, edges of chocolate and a hint of fruit. And, last but not least, I’ve enjoyed chatting with the baristas, they are friendly and knowledgeable, in the day and age of robotic arms, we are lucky to have kind humans to engage with. I picked up a bag of beans for home, right???

Wonderful quality and friendly staff. They have Starter pastries so your mornings are a match made in heaven. Cute bike themed shop with ample outdoor seating.

Cool place. Donut is kinda like a brioche. Really good maple scone. Enjoyed the coffee - flavored drinks sound good, but didn't try them yet.

The wait here is always completely justified! Order ahead on the app so you don't need to wait too long in this small cafe. The service here is awesome and the lattes are made perfectly everytime. I ordered a pour over once on a slow day (be prepared to wait for this drink!) and it was excellent. The cups are always full of drink, not air - and the espresso never tastes acidic or burnt. Worth the wait - try them!

Equator coffees are amazing - I guess thats why more and more places serve it. Great selection, and the seasonal coffees are always worth a try. The place can get really busy, with 20 min wait times, so pre-order on their app. Some food options, or go next door to get a bagel. Minimal seating inside, but nice outdoor tables in front and in the back.

I love the coffee at Equator in Larkspur!! And it’s sustainably sourced! The staff is knowledgeable and they make fabulous lattes. The atmosphere is chill and everyone is very friendly!! This is my go-to place when I want a great cup of coffee and a delicious breakfast sandwich!!

Superb customer service! I accidentally placed my mobile order for my usual Fort Mason location instead of Larkspur, and didn’t realize it until I got there and couldn’t find my coffee. When I told the barista what happened, he didn’t miss a beat - just asked what I ordered and said they could make it for me. A few minutes later, I was walking out with my drink. So quick and kind, really appreciated it!

I don't think you can get better coffee anywhere! Especially the equator coffee in tiburon when I bought a bag of coffee they gave me a free espresso and a sparkling water can't wait to go back

The best tasting coffee and a beautiful setting for this café. Equator Coffees has consistently served me the highest-quality coffee drinks and food for over the past 10 years. Service is always friendly and efficient, too. I enjoy sitting outside at this location with Redwoods above and quaint architecture. I can't wait to return!

The cutest little coffee shop. If you don't place an on-the-go mobile order you'll have a bit of a wait. But I can't think of a more beautiful place to be stuck waiting. Lots of outdoor seating and a charming park across the street.

A modern Cafe that is very North Bay in both its prices and appearance. Limited indoor seating with a very nice little patio in front that is perfect for coffee relaxation on a sunny day. Could easily work or read outside comfortably. The cold brew was above average, but the butter croissant rather plain, and unfortunately that will run you $10 with a modest tip. The pleasant location with decent people watching potential near some beautifully tall trees and trails helps make up for it, however. A solid place to stop on a walk or if passing through, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

They need to stop doing online orders or prioritize in-person ordering. It’s always a 15 min wait and they churn out drinks but it’s for the online orders who are not present in the shop. Ruins the feeling a friendly small neighborhood coffee shop, might as well be Starbucks? Could be nice to disable online orders for the weekend to slow the rush and make folks show up instead.

Very nice location and environment, people from town, biker, kids, dog super nice, 10 points for that! From my experience… I’m a coffee person and I used to go to the Equator location in Oakland. I do always request for a 12 oz batch brew for sure I did request the same in this location… also I went with my friend and her daughter who wants a hot chocolate. I’m not sure but every time I get my coffee from the batch in Oakland location I do get a refill for free! (Just for the 12oz) This time I asked for the same and they said “we don’t do refill” after this the lady that said that just ignored super rude which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I explained her what I always do in the Equator in located in Oakland but she still ignored me. Also my friend’s daughter hot chocolate was super oily we do not know why and the taste was more like milky that chocolate. Very sad and disappointing with the treatment this people gave us. At least as a seller and a costumer service person if I said they should be more nicer or said they don’t but still get the refill. The people that work in Equator in Oakland definitely more nicer and super friendly. Love there, makes me feel very comfortable. I repeat again I’m not sure if you can get refill for 12oz as a rule. But it was just not too nice though. Still will add photos from the location which is very nice but the employees should know better how to treat costumers. Hope next time will better experience…

I have mixed feelings about this Equator Coffee. The location is great and I enjoyed the relaxing, social vibe here, service wasn’t impeccable but at least reasonable on a busy Sunday morning. On the other hand, it’s definitely running over its capacity when I visited. There wasn’t a long line so I thought I'd wait a few minutes for my latte but it turned out to be more than 15 minutes. Obviously people who were waiting were all over the place and sometimes orders were left un-picked up for a long time. Coffee was OK, unsurprisingly too hot but that’s just like most coffee shops in SF.

Last two times I’ve been there waited 40 minutes just to pour a cold brew. They are constantly under staffed and don’t make the drinks in any logical order. Much better options nearby.

The two customers ahead of me were served normally, When It was my turn, I was told to wait and the barista walked away and didnot come back . I was left standing until another staff member noticed and took my order. Immediately after, the original barista returned began serving other customers. I was the only Asian cutomer at the counter at the time, which made the sutuation feel uncomfortable.
