About Comforts

Comforts is a San Anselmo institution that has been feeding Marin residents for decades. Known for their famous Chinese chicken salad and generous portions, this casual cafe is the kind of place where locals come for a reliable, satisfying meal.

The breakfast menu is particularly popular with cyclists, offering hearty options like egg sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and pancakes that provide serious fuel for the miles ahead. The lunch menu is equally substantial, with the Chinese chicken salad being the must-try item - it's been a local favorite for years and lives up to the hype.

The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. It's not a place that caters specifically to cyclists, but the generous portions and central location make it a natural pre-ride or post-ride stop for anyone riding through San Anselmo.

Tips

  • The Chinese chicken salad is the signature dish - get it at least once
  • Breakfast portions are generous - perfect for pre-ride fueling
  • Can get busy at peak weekend brunch hours
  • Good option for a full sit-down meal rather than a quick coffee stop
