"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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!"
