Rustic Bakery — Restaurant in Larkspur

Tried Rustic on one of those rare, rare trips of mine up to Marin, and, honestly, they're just one of your standard, run-of-the-mill bakeries. Given how uncommon it is for me to drive up this far, I picked up a:

Kouign Amann - Not nearly as good as some others I've had (admittedly, all the way up in Seattle), but decent, and much, much better after being toasted in an oven.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie - A bit crisp, and obviously fairly rich, but, surprisingly, not early as sweet as I would have expected: and this is a good thing!

Bear Claw - A very... okay, standard bear claw. Nothing unexpected either way.

Carrot Cake - Probably the best thing I had here: moist and flavorful, but a bit too light on the carrot flavor.

Blueberry Scone - I love scones, so, this was the most disappointing thing I picked up (albeit the most popular, since I got the last one). Dry, and very light on both the butter and blueberry flavors.

2.5 stars: if you live in the area, sure, drop by if you're craving some pastries. But, if you're not from around here, it's definitely not worth going out of your way to visit.

Forgot why I hesitated to come here for great quiche. Served it luke warm, finally on the 3rd try after waiting and waiting, it was hot. Complete lackadaisical attitude about service and cleanliness. Zero apologies. After asking/commenting about how dirty the counters were, salt, pepper and silverware, waiting another 10 minutes to have my table cleaned before I sat down, the waitress takes the same dirty cloth used while she was touching dirty dishes to wipe seasonings, my table and then proceed to touch my water bottle numerous times. No surfaces are being disinfected, none of the servers/cashiers are washing their hands before touching patrons food plates. Finally found my expensive coffee sitting on the counter with everyone else’s order getting cold. Even under normal circumstances, none of this is ok. Disappointed to...

I went to this Rustic Bakery for the first and last time on Magnolia in Larkspur. I ordered a combination of soup and 1/2 sandwich for about $17 plus dollars. The Asian chicken soup was delicious with lots of chicken. As to my sandwich which had about 1.5 slices of thin turkey lettuce and a sauce. It was eating bread. Before I left I decided to get a box of cookies and asked one young man. He said $5.99 and when I got up to pay for the cookies,7.99 I was quoted. The young man was gone and the new cashier, asked me to wait. He came back $7.99. I decided to call the manager and tell him what happened. He seemed concerned and said that they have new staff and thanked me for letting him know. That was it and I believe he could of offered me a baked good the next time. However, there will be...
