Marin Country Mart, located in Larkspur, has every food option you could need. From bagels to crepes, it is a spectacular place for those who want to grab a quick bite when going off campus for lunch.
Loveski Deli offers a variety of sandwiches, salads, and bagels. The shop is in the parking lot outside the Marin Country Mart. The atmosphere is very down-to-earth modern and contains various seating options. Although its menu is pricier, Loveski’s avocado and cucumber bagel did not disappoint. It was stuffed with cucumbers and avocado, while paired with an herb cream cheese and sprouts that balanced it well. Within five minutes of ordering, the bagel was already in front of me and is an absolute must-try.

Souvla is a modern take on Greek cuisine located inside Marin Country Mart. As for the food, Souvla has an extensive menu including salads, sandwiches, and fantastic dessert options for all Greek-food lovers. The Greek fries with “Granch” (Greek yogurt mixed with ranch) combined the nostalgic taste of a regular french fry with a sour, but sweet taste of Greek yogurt. Souvla’s Greek yogurt soft serve with baklava crumbles was the perfect serving size for a healthy dessert. The pricing was very affordable and it’s a great snack to grab on the go!


The newest addition to Marin Country Mart’s restaurants is Buvette du Marais. This French-inspired restaurant is located on the far side of the shopping center by the recently added LoveShackFancy boutique. Although Buvette du Marais is also pricier, their food is incredibly fresh, and their famous crepes are made right before your eyes! The atmosphere is quite Parisian, with quaint accents and a laid-back vibe. Although very large, the Nutella crepe did not have as much Nutella as expected but was still rich in sweet flavor. Buvette du Marais was a great experience but is more of a sit-down restaurant than a grab-and-go place.
With plenty of options and excellent service, Marin Country Mart’s restaurants have something for everyone and should be added to Redwood students’ lunch menu. Overall, Souvla was my favorite because of the variety of foods and excellent service. The fun and exciting environment was challenging to match and is an absolute must when coming to Marin Country Mart. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a quick and easy bite to grab on your lunch break, you can’t go wrong with Loveski Deli, considering how efficient they are!
