Equator Coffees - Larkspur, California

Very nice location and environment, people from town, biker, kids, dog super nice, 10 points for that!

From my experience…
I’m a coffee person and I used to go to the Equator location in Oakland. I do always request for a 12 oz batch brew for sure I did request the same in this location… also I went with my friend and her daughter who wants a hot chocolate.

I’m not sure but every time I get my coffee from the batch in Oakland location I do get a refill for free! (Just for the 12oz) This time I asked for the same and they said “we don’t do refill” after this the lady that said that just ignored super rude which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I explained her what I always do in the Equator in located in Oakland but she still ignored me.

Also my friend’s daughter hot chocolate was super oily we do not know why and the taste was more like milky that chocolate.

Very sad and disappointing with the treatment this people gave us. At least as a seller and a costumer service person if I said they should be more nicer or said they don’t but still get the refill.

The people that work in Equator in Oakland definitely more nicer and super friendly. Love there, makes me feel very comfortable.

I repeat again I’m not sure if you can get refill for 12oz as a rule. But it was just not too nice though.

Still will add photos from the location which is very nice but the employees should know better how to treat costumers.

Hope next time will better experience…

Asked for an espresso and a scone. They forgot to give me my scone and had to ask for it.
Asked for an espresso for here, they gave it to me in a paper cup, which ruins the flavor of espresso. They have glass espresso cups so I can only guess why I wasn't served it in one. They are actually nice espresso glasses too, just weird.

Will go back to see how the espresso actually tastes, it seemed good, mix of bright chocolatey. Beautiful seating area.

Consistently and at every location I’ve been to, walking in for a simple cappuccino takes twenty plus minutes because the shop has decided to prioritize online ordering, which ruins the whole point of a neighborhood cafe. At the very least in person orders should always come first. It’s so annoying and frankly sad to wait in an empty cafe for so long while baristas churn out drinks that sit on metal shelf for whoever happens to rush by.

A modern Cafe that is very North Bay in both its prices and appearance. Limited indoor seating with a very nice little patio in front that is perfect for coffee relaxation on a sunny day. Could easily work or read outside comfortably.

The cold brew was above average, but the butter croissant rather plain, and unfortunately that will run you $10 with a modest tip. The pleasant location with decent people watching potential near some beautifully tall trees and trails helps make up for it, however.

A solid place to stop on a walk or if passing through, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

Somehow, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes for a single to-go cappuccino. After 15 minutes, we asked how much longer it would be, and they said 5 more minutes - which turned into over 20 more minutes. Unbelievably slow service and blamed it on a computer issue.

Be prepared to wait 15 to 30 min minimum for coffee even if there’s no line. Seems like the expectation is to place your order online while you’re pulling out of your driveway. Staff seem overwhelmed by the amount of online orders and impatient customers. The system is flawed, time to fix it!

Have been going to Equator for years, almost daily. Stood in line 10 mins just now - Thurs 10/31 10am. Got to counter and ordered a mocha. Woman with dark hair and glasses at the register said ‘just so you know, we won’t be able to make your mocha for 20 minutes.’ No apology, just rude. The espresso machine is backed up she said. I suggested she put a sign up alerting people so they don’t waste their time waiting in line. She said she couldn’t do that.

Cool place. Donut is kinda like a brioche. Really good maple scone. Enjoyed the coffee - flavored drinks sound good, but didn't try them yet.
