I got the vanilla latte with vanilla cold foam, habibi latte and shakerato. All of the drinks were absolutely delicious. The coffee it’s very smooth and good quality. They sell coffee beans that are single origin. The entire vibes inside is very cool with the surf boards.

Great place to stop for a coffee before going cruising on highway 1. They nail the surf shop/coffee shop vibe. Seating available outside to enjoy the Sun. My iced cappuccino was delicious. My order was made fairly quickly considering how busy they were.

Almond croissant is the best I’ve ever had! Very rich. Also got the habibi latte. Would 100% go back!

We loved the little coffee store right next to 101. Getting in and out could be tricky based on the traffic but the delicious coffee makes up for it It’s hard to find a good oat milk latte and most baristas tell me that they can’t get froth with oat milk. But wow, the oatmilk honey latte they made for us was one of the best drinks I have had in California. Thank you for a simply amazing cup of coffee! Also the store is so cute and the seating and location too.

Very small but not very crowded coffee shop. At 2 pm Saturday they were out of pastries but for my luck I snatched a good one from Sun&Cellar pop up truck right on the corner of Tennessee road. Latte was solid as usual at Equator. With pastry it was an amazing combination, waiting time was around 9 mins, ig you haven't order through their app, you have a chance to get a first one on the house. Enjoy!

I had a coffee lavender latte, it is under the speciality latte it was fantastic. They only have two sizes, either small or large. Overall 9.5/10❤️

Loved the pumpkin spice latte. It was sweet, warm and flavorful. The aroma was good as well. The staff were kind. The baked goods looked great. Will try next time. You can buy branded goods here.

One of the best cold brews I’ve ever had. I recommend the plain brew with no syrup/flavoring - totally smooth and perfect as is. 👌

Grabbed coffee and a cardamon & chocolate croissant before my hike and it was divine. As an east coaster, I wish this was my local coffee shop.

Lovely coffee shop in Mill Valley! The mocha was great and the staff lovely as well. I tried one of their scones too and it was great. Nice outdoor seating area as well and would recommend to anyone staying in the area or passing through!

This is probably the best place to get a cup of coffee in Mill Valley. The coffee quality is excellent. The vibe inside is your typical PNW/West Coast progressive, which certainly isn’t my cup of tea, but I never felt ostracized while patronizing the place. That’s actually why I want to leave a good review, because I often look like a target for progressive attack, but they’re actually inclusive enough to be friendly and helpful to me! The coffee quality alone in the offerings are enough to recommend them, but the service is what brings them to the top, in my opinion.

Been going here since they opened years and years ago. Quality has stayed top tier. Equator is excellent. Love their breve cappuccino. Decent pastry selection. Friendly and helpful staff this morning. Thank you all. Sometimes has long waits when they get busy, but 💯 worth the wait

We’ve been here once before, and my husband really enjoys their coffee and almond croissant, so this time we tried a coffee along with almond and chocolate croissants. Everything was fresh and delicious! The staff is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Definitely a cozy spot worth revisiting.

Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only. ☺️ By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. While i am delighted to see that you are a B lab member who is working at chipping away at his problem, I was kind of sad to see that most of the folks in here working or meeting with friends are drinking out of single-use to-go cups. I understand that the to-go cups you provide are technically compostable, but without any real composting infrastructure on site, these will go straight to the landfill or ocean as well. It looks like you just have one trashcan collecting everything, and just because something is “compostable” doesn’t mean it actually gets processed as such. I wonder if to start, you could better communicate to folks who are staying to have their coffee that they have the reusable option of the mug. Maybe it’s as simple as asking, are you going to be having your coffee here? I also wonder if you might be able to provide a separate receptacle for the compostable cups. And work with some entity in the county to pick up said composting. I love that you don’t sell any plastic bottled water, so kudos on that! And if my observations are wrong, then I stand corrected! But I think as a surf-related, ocean-adjacent, B lab coffee shop, you could interact with customers accordingly to make sure they are aware of—and are normalizing—the for-here, reusable option. Thank you for your consideration, and for the delicious coffee!

I'm in this cafeteria and my experience was really terrible. I noticed that there are 4 to 5 employees working but they don't pay attention to the work. They talk a lot all the time and take an excessive amount of time to deliver the orders. They make the customers wait a long time and they don't pay attention to the takeout orders. I saw Uber drivers waiting for up to 20 minutes. The employees should pay more attention to the service.

Staff didn’t greet or smile, I was judged for my drink order so loudly my friend heard. The matcha is tasteless/watery. I wanted to love it because it seems to be such a popular spot in town but I would never come again
