This is our go to place for lunch. It can get crowded, especially on weekends, but the salads and sandwiches are great. I almost always have the Caesar with chicken, but occasionally one of the sandwiches. Always delicious. The baked goods are also excellent although I try to stay clear of them for calorie purposes!The only thing that can be annoying is when there is a long line and it's because someone is standing at the bakery section and there is a person free to take an order, but you have to wait for the person picking out things at the bakery counter. Why can't someone give an order in that case? It just needs a bit of management.

Great food and stellar service. Accommodated my allergies while being very kind about it.

They are constantly out of stuff, even when you come just at lunch time. They put cilantro in the Asian chicken salad and if they take it out, they take out the other good stuff. So many better choices in

The guy with the fractured right arm, glasses, gray curly hair, looks to be some sort of supervisor, well He was EXTREMELY unprofessional with his employees, I understand that sometimes people can be slow or some aren't getting the hang of things quicker than others, but to throw some down right unnecessary petty shade was not called for, saying things like "oh am I going to run this myself" (CLEARLY HE CAN'T) and " shes acting like shes new here" while saying it to another employee but obviously the shade was towards the girl at the resgister. But the girl at the bar whom he was talking to was taking a while to do my drink. I was not even there for a full 10 minutes when all this was said and done in front of me, a customer. I CAN'T imagine an all day shift. This is BULLYING and I'm not okay with that, if the girl can't meet the standards, then simply let her go, there is NO NEED to bully and say stuff like that, you can clearly see they have a hostile work environment with this man here.

Rustic Bakery in Novato is cute, but the prices they charge do not reflect the product recieved. I had a decent blueberry muffin the first time I went there 5$+ tax & tip. It must be there bedt item, because I was never there in time to have another one! Had a tuna sandwich the 2nd time hard bread couldn't find the tuna $$$! Tried a peach pastry I think the 3rd time, not sure because it was dry and missing any sign of fruit!!! I tried, for the last ltime, a week ago, a "Meyers Lemon" pastry soooo dry barely a drop of lemon close to 6 $$$$ for what? They put on the fancy act, they charge the fancy price, but it's all far from delicious in any way! Sorry Rustic Bakery, I won't be back for any more dry taseless skimpy over priced food.!

long time rustic enjoyer but my experience today compelled me to write a review. i ordered a breakfast panini and a latte at around 10am. both were delicious as per usual but the latte stood out. it was prepared by an employee who's name i'm now forgetting. dark curly hair? anyway the latte was delicious the perfect ratio of coffee to milk. and atop the already perfect beverage was a heart painted into it. i'd just like to recognize the incredible talent and service of this staff member and as always i highly recommend rustic bakery!

The food is sometimes outstanding, sometimes not...but the order is NEVER accurate. Today, I ordered their heirloom tomato and burrata salad with pesto - I've had it before, and it's lovely. I ended up with slice of levain toast smothered in mayonnaise with a creamy burrata, a hunk of mozzarella, and tomatoes on top. I also ordered an egg salad sandwich with no lettuce on honey wheat. I got an egg salad sandwich smothered with more mayonnaise and on a weird white bread with very stale crust.Someone there really loved mayonnaise today - my lunch was almost inedible.Every time I have to carefully inspect my order, and every time, something is wrong.

Sometimes it's really good, other times they have challenges maintaining consistency. When its good, the pastries are excellent.

DO NOT ORDER VIA DOORDASHThey ALWAYS miss an order or 2. For big orders, expect to miss close to 10 items. Our 19 item order missed 8 orders today.

I still enjoy the pastries and lunch offerings though prices are high and service inconsistent. Maybe they're tired close to closing so they forget to check order tickets? Waited ten minutes for my latte before I went up to ask for it. "Oh, would you like it now?" was the response. No one was busy, just chatting. On the good side they have unsweetened almond milk and usually it's a smooth cup of Java. I wouldn't mind all the croissants 1/3 smaller and less expensive. Hard to eat all in one sitting without being crazy overfull. Sure I get a 2nd meal but do I want it again? Guess I'm picky.Still a go to place for me. But I do enjoy places where employees are welcoming and I feel good about spending my money. It's only occasionally true here. Last note- the older man delivering to tables was very conscientious and sweet. I watched him cleaning and taking care of the dining area. I'd like more of his kind here!

Came here to get a quick bite. They have daily quiche and soup options and specialty pastries and sandwiches. Got the chicken sausage and leek quiche. Size was quite large. Overall, the quiche was fine, but nothing special. Prices are bit high.The ambience though is great with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

I went to tried one of their baked goods, there was just three options. Overpriced for the quality they offered, I liked their quiche but the “turkey sandwich” for my son was literally a piece of bread with two slices of turkey, really disappointing
