The Coffee Roastery

Great spot to grab a coffee or a snack!

A comfortable corner coffee shop. We liked the quiche selection and decaf latte for a late meal. The decor is fun and also fun to people watch.

best coffee shops in town little bit on the pricey side but worth the litte extra price all the pastries are outstanding and I really like the house blend coffee they have..

Went on a Sunday morning and even though it was busy I got through the line quickly and my drink was ready in just a few minutes. I got a black and white mocha and thought it was very sweet but in a good way. It can feel a bit cramped inside but there is plenary of outdoor seating.

This coffee was hands down one of the best I've ever had! As someone who enjoys regular dark coffee with only half & half, I'm able to really taste the quality of the coffee itself, and this place was absolutely amazing. I stumbled upon it while passing through town one morning, and as other customers arrived, many of them seemed like regulars, while others had just rolled out of bed in their PJs. The atmosphere was incredibly homey and welcoming. To add to the experience, there was free music being played by a pair of singers, one of whom looked like he might actually be the owner of the place. I didn't ask if the music was a regular thing, but it was soft and hauntingly beautiful. The decor was full of art nouveau motifs, and even the front door was a work of art. I would definitely make a point to stop in again if I'm ever in the neighborhood.

Stopped by when visiting from New Jersey. Cute place right on the corner, you can't miss is and can feel the positive vibes from the street. Tons of baked goods with a huge selection of coffees to try. Everything was great!

What a gem! There was live music on a Sunday when we were there, and he was incredible! Good coffee, friendly service, fast line, lots of places to sit. They have a large variety of beans and roasts. Definitely worth a visit the next time you're in Fairfax.

Stopped in and grabbed a turkey Pesto sandwich with a peanut butter cup mocha quad. Delicious food and good coffee.

I love visiting this place on my cycling trips. This is my midway point and I always stop in for some drinks and food. Although it a coffee shop, I usually get the açaí smoothie and a bagel sandwich; it never disappoints. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. They just got a temp parklet which is a nice addition.

Perfect place for Sunday morning coffee and light breakfast. Since 1979 bringing the good people of Fairfax and beyond an awesome atmosphere. Thanks Kelly and crew.

A lucky find crossing from Hwy 1 to the 101 Fwy: we happened to be there on a Sunday, and enjoyed the jazz jam session by the one man band. Coffee and breakfast were perfect, and the atmosphere is far from the cookie-cutter places on every corner: the Fairfax Roastery has a European decor and feel: very warm and inviting.

The beating heart and soul of this beautiful town, very fitting for the historic corner building of Fairfax. Live music, great vibes, wonderful staff and amazing drinks

Stopped by this extremely fun atmospheric coffeehouse. Coffee's on display 👌, huge written menu and large espresso making area. I had a Macchiato, a real Macchiato, which was so good I went back two days in a row. Exceptional coffeehouse.

I love good coffee shops. To be honest, the Fairfax Coffee Roastery isn't my typical cool, ultra Swedish hip décor kind of place that I usually go for. Does that matter? No! The Roastery is soo Fairfax, so down home and so daggily local that going there is wandering in to the soul of Fairfax. The nibbles hit the spot, the coffee is good and the tables outside are always there to meet a friend and talk for hours. I'm glad they support a big noticeboard, it's a great community hub for local events. I just hope they can stay as they are in a time when landlords are putting up rents all over town. Give them the business! Keep them serving good coffee and good vibes!

We stopped here during our stay at the Girl scout property nearby. The girls and moms enjoyed the yummy baked treats and drinks.

Very cool spot and there was live music when you walk in. The coffee was not great, unfortunately.

Great atmosphere with a bold aroma of fresh ground coffee. However, less enthused about the the employee at the register.... who was rude and harsh spoken. Not the kind of person you want to start your day with. Hope he has a better day tomorrow and comes in a little nicer to the world.

Bad tasting espresso! They are over extracting the coffee, the esspresso was severely bitter. I asked the barista to make it again and the second one was no different. I noticed that he was going for speedy shots and wasn't tamping properly, which means they are grinding very fine as the extraction was about 32 seconds long. The baristas here need some serious training.

Love this place but the owner put some some classist anti-renter/rent control propaganda signage outside of the shop, leaving me and my family feel unwelcome. As a renter myself, this left a sour taste in my mouth. No thank you!

This place has the right location and vibes, but unfortunately the espresso is absolutely terrible - generally flavorless, and they dump in steamed milk so it's just one big mixture. Yet they charge Equator prices. As a fairfax local, I'd love to be able to come here for my coffee rather than huffing it down to Longway in San Anselmo, but every time is a disappointment.
