Lighthouse Cafe (Lighthouse Breakfast & Lunch)
Every fishing village needs a lighthouse, and we’re lucky to have this one. Lighthouse Cafe (previously called Lighthouse Breakfast and Lunch) proudly positions itself as a Danish cafe, which is a pretty good start since an entire class of breakfast items in our culture are referred to as “Danish.” This place has been here for generations, and feels very much the same as it did back in the 1970s, apart from the pandemic-inspired expansion in its outdoor dining area. In recent years they have also opened other Lighthouse Cafe restaurants elsewhere in Marin.
We think of the Lighthouse Cafe as a great breakfast spot, but they have one of the best burgers in Sausalito, and two great club sandwiches. Part of the eternal Sausalito debate about “what’s the best local breakfast spot?” If you’re looking for an authentic Danish breakfast or lunch… or a traditional American one, Lighthouse Cafe is a great choice.
Something else that people should know about the Lighthouse Cafe? Got a great Lighthouse metaphor to illustrate your point, like “A beacon of sweet enlightenment for fans of griddled goodies”? Disagree with any of our suggestions? Please let us know!
