I have become a total coffee snob over the last 5 or 6 years and won't even waste my time with a mediocre cup of coffee. Longway has never let me down! It is my favorite! Incredible espresso drinks and great service. They also have some very cool unique items in the retail part of the store. Love this place!

I had a pour over from the coffee shop. The staff were so friendly and the coffee was absolutely outstanding!

Love this addition to our town. The store is well curated. The front sitting area is the best on the block. We use to like coming for coffee too but in the last couple of months the quality has been pretty disappointing.

Great shop for a quick gift or that something you need to create a shift in your day, whether it is a tea or the latest season of clothes designed by Kris or even one of the other thoughtfully selected artisan brands curated in a lovely space.

Love it here! The coffee and pastries alone are worth the trip, and every time I go I seem to find some must-have item like a summer dress or "Marin" shirt for my kid. I'm always eyeing their jewelry too, and I secretly want a plant at my house to give up the ghost so I can buy one of their cacti. An all-around great spot!

Such a great quality product and wonderful company. I had a little mishap with my order and was sent the wrong item, they were incredibly responsive and very helpful. You can tell they really care about their customers and I highly recommend shopping with them!

It an unassuming coffee shop in the back of a clothing shop. I'd been referenced here a few times, as having the best coffee in Marin. I decided to try them out last week. Todays my 3 time in for the latte. It's amazingly good, in my opinion. So smooth, and no need for sweetener. I always put sweetener in my coffee. Now I haven't been to every coffee shop in Marin, but I've been to a good number of them. I always have to use sweetener, it's usually to bitter and not very smooth(as is). I don't know how the rest of the drinks are, as I'm sure they're delicious as well. Once I try some more I'll change to 5 star.

HIGH END ARTISINAL COFFEE SHOP IN THE BACK. With all the wealth in this area, I’ve always thought the coffee offerings were a joke. No more. Go here now for a PROPER coffee.

A coffee shop which also sells apparently women's clothes (not that I was inclined to verify). It's nice to see entrepreneurial spirit come to life. I had a mocha which was more of just another mocha as I watched the barista use scooped whipped cream rather than squirt whipped cream: that was cool to watch although it made no distinction of flavor vs other mochas. Most important, coming into an entrepreneurial joint like this is more exciting than going to a corporate coffee joint such as Starbucks etc.

Lovely home goods and now cafe with delicious coffee! A winner for San Anselmo ?♥️The only thing I find quite bothersome is that the cafe only serves throw-away cups :( I absolutely love the ‘celebrate the slow’ motto except when it comes to how long it takes for a cup to biodegrade (30 years!). Please please look into ways to encourage people to bring their own cups (eg throw away cups 50cent extra) or provide glassware. Pretty please :) much love

They serve Lady Falcon coffee - delish (and much better than the other nearby coffee places on this street)! Super cute inside, high quality drinks, and the front of the shop sells adorable clothes, candles, Bathing Culture products, etc. A must visit for coffee lovers in the area!

We love Longway. One of the best shops for very well curated, yet reasonably priced clothes in Marin! Also tons of inspiration and items for interior/home design. We always love grabbing a coffee and sitting in the parklet as well. Definitely a must-check staple of downtown San Anselmo. Thanks Longway!

I was inspired to write this review because I feel like Enrique and I are talking about two different coffee shops! Maybe the coffee is slightly more expensive than Coffee Roasters or the Roastery? I affectionately refer to that style of coffee as "dad coffee," but if you want to compare prices, you should do an apples to apples comparison and look at another third wave coffee shop like MH Bread and Butter down the road. Longway's prices are the same if not less, plus you get better coffee, better service and don't have to deal with a long line. I go here almost every day and love the Lady Falcon coffee as well as their non-coffee stuff like matcha and the hibiscus cascara. It's my default place to meet friends as they have a really cute parklet, perfect for sitting outside when we're in the middle of a Covid surge like this. I also get a ton of my clothes here! They have their own brand, which I love, and they carry some of my other favorites too (Rachel Pally, Mollusk, West Perro... I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting). And lastly the people who work here are the best! I've seen a lot of baristas come and go, but they seem to do a really good job attracting kind, pleasant people. And Justine is so sweet and seems to remember everyone in town. My husband doesn't even go in as often as I do, but when he was picking up coffee and donuts on Mother's Day, she told him to tell me happy Mother's Day from her. She's the best. Oh man and I didn't even mention the Cibo pastries and Johnny Donuts on the weekend! What's not to love??? Worth every penny.

The coffee and tea are the most overpriced cafe items in Marin county. This cafe is a walking distance from the entry of the main clothing store, to the very rear of the shop. When you get to the end of the shop, where usually no one is present, then you know you have reached the destination. Coffee is good, at times, for at about %25 higher in price ,than any other cafe in Marin county.The service at this coffee stop ,by a couple of male baristas (oxymorons), that I've experienced,let's say. Is way Less than stellar. I'm being PC! I it must be the current, difficult hiring situation, that has effectively hurt,many of us. I have had their pour over coffee on 2 separate occasions ( their specialty ) ,both times, the coffee was not hot. Actually both times they we're lukewarm/ not worth the time or the taste or at half the price! The actual complete coffee area is no more than a 15x20ft area. Seating is a white picnic table , family style seating. Very uncomfortable and privacy is what ownership had not thought about. The atmosphere is similar to a public library. Actually. Has the similarity or vibe ,to a masoleum!! I believe that seating would be improved with used caskets , in a circle. Would be appropriate. This is a Very small area that was an after thought , when planning the coffee area . The daily Pastries are almost non existent. If you arrive after 9;30, empty pastry cubby hole. I believe on weekends the coffee area sells Johnie's doughnuts, which are . More than $5.00 per doughnut ,Pairs very well with the most expensive , overated roasted coffee beans located in the bay area, or possibly the west coast. These Doughnuts have the consistency of a super dense ,heavy bread, that has added sugar. Not my favorite. A San Rafael., 4th st tradition. There are at least 4 or more cafes in downtown,San Anselmo that should be experienced, besides this picnic table, overpriced coffee klatch. Spend your money on the bagels and coffee shop, Barton's,next door. They have better,more comfortable park benches to sit on outside. At least the bagel shop coffee is not brewed by incompetent part time, rotating ,high schoolers!!!_-----this place makes it difficult to stay, PC.
