Dining

From cozy and casual to elegant and refined, Marin County is home to more than 500 restaurants.  Every region of the world is represented with its own rich and diverse ethnic cuisine, and friendly and engaging restaurateurs happily share their history and secrets.

Marin’s sophisticated restaurants have access to California’s freshest seasonal ingredients.  Fifty percent of Marin County is farmland growing a variety of fruits and vegetables, including olives and wine grapes.  Dairy farms supply 20 percent of the San Francisco Bay Area’s milk, as well as artisan cheeses and butter.  Marin County, surrounded by water on three sides, enjoys the freshest of fish and seafood, locally farmed oysters, clams and mussels.  Marin County is known throughout California and the nation for its outstanding organic agriculture, family farms, and unique produce.  Much of Marin’s overall agricultural production is certified organic, as well as the county’s progressive natural and organic agricultural practices.

Your Marin County dining experience may bring you to a mountain-side lodge providing dramatic views, a bayside café with views of sailboats and the Golden Gate Bridge, a rustic ranch with live music and dancing, a modern Italian villa, or a historic country inn.  Fine wines, of course, are the order of the day, with the best of California’s wine country at our doorstep.

Here at Teacake Bake Shop, we want to celebrate the simple little “teacake.” Our cookies and cupcakes, as you will see, are special.  First of all, we use only the finest ingredients — imported Belgian Chocolate and Dutch Cocoa, Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, locally sourced farm fresh dairy and eggs, and of course, sweet cream butter for the most delectable taste and quality.

Each of our products is handcrafted and baked in small batches throughout the day to inspire the freshest taste and quality. Our retail bakery is an open kitchen where we mix, bake, and frost everything in front of you. We invite you in to experience the heaven and joy of baking as much as we do.
