Cafe Renzo

Delicious coffee and friendly service.
My friends and I decided to check this place out to kill time before the arrival of the next ferry to Angel’s Island. It was the perfect place to pop off and grab a coffee. The shop itself is really quaint, and they have a good assortment of coffees, baked goods, sandwiches and empanadas. The cute little lady working there described it as an «Italian/​Mexican fusion» restaurant. :)
I got the almond latte, and it was delicious. It was one of the best coffees I had in a while. The coffee was smooth, and the almond milk added the perfect amount of sweetness to the coffee. It was the perfect drink to warm me up before making the hike on a brisk day.
Prices were pretty reasonable too… especially for the area.
We’ll definitely be back!

Best coffee in Tiburon. I actually wanted to give 4.5 stars but Unilocal wouldn’t let me. I had the espresso and apple turnover, both were great. A friend of mine had the drip and one of the cakes and said they were solid too. Definitely go here if in the area and in need of caffeine.

Nice limoncello cake and good espresso. Wanted to give a 4.5 stars so the customers next too meow giving 4 stars in his review to average out.
Best real coffee on this side of Tiburon.

Good place for a cold drink post bike ride and pre ferry. In the old/​historic ark row shopping area. Nice outdoor area to relax in

A nice place to get coffee–

The éclair was amazing! I don’t know why I got the small one, it was so delicious, I could have eaten another. This café is tucked away in Tiburon and has a very relaxing patio to sit in outside.
I got the chicken sandwich here and it was ok — they are pre-​made and sort of taste pre-​made. Not bad for the price though, especially in Tiburon for a casual lunch.

The sandwiches are great. The frozen yogurt is wonderful too, but the machine is consistently broken, and it seems they have no plans to fix it anytime soon. Very disappointing.

Great latte! Open late! Perfect spot to grab a bite and relax. Just walking distance from the yacht club. Wonderful service too! Lots of different items to satisfy your needs! Mmmmmm

I went to Café Renzo yesterday. I wanted a cappuccino and something savory to have with it. They have these mini croissants with ham and cheese that were perfect to accompany my cappuccino. Very relaxing spot. Plus, I love that part of Ark Row. Charming. Glad to have you in the neighborhood! Luna Blu is their other restaurant and that’s great. Love going there and having lunch or dinner on the deck.

We stopped by after hiking in Angel Island and ordered a chicken panini, a mushroom arancini and 5 $ happy hour wine. Arancini was crispy outside, moist inside, so overall pretty good. Sandwich could more flavorful.
Overall, would recommend this place for a European style café ambiance/​experience.

Found this place while walking around downtown. Recently opened, same owner as Luna Blu. Great selections of dessert and Italian dishes. Friendly people here, nice and clean inside with a small seating area outside as well.
Ordered their frozen yogurt, love the banana and original flavor. Our 6 year niece loved their macaroons, especially the raspberry one.
Great seections of drinks as well. We will be back often

Love it! So glad Renzo opened this café — I was sold the second I saw the arancini (so good!)
Also…just had the best (gluten free!!) chocolate cake. I’m in love!

So happy to see Café Renzo opening! Stopped for frozen yoghurt yesterday for us & our friends, was a huge hit! Great to be served by the treat Renzo himself ;) Wonderful spot under the trees to rest, the sandwiches and pastries all looked delicious!

Didn’t realize they opened until my wife brought me a pastry home last night (they are open late). So I decided to try it for lunch since I work near by. Great Café! Had sandwich which they warmed on a panini press, yum! Love the feeling that you are walking into a café in the heart of Italy :-) I’ll be back for sure!

Stopped by after dinner at the club to maybe pick up a dessert. Ended up taking home four desserts and half the bakery for breakfast. What a place, and very glad it has opened up.

I’ve been dining at their main restaurant Luna Blu for months now, and am thrilled that Renzo has finally opened. I stopped by last week and was delighted by the choices, the atmosphere and mostly by the frozen yoghurt! Strawberry flavor with berry topping. OMG! It was fabulous. Their cookie display was tempting too, but one thing at a time. Next visit, the cookies.
Sitting outside, listening to the fountain, watching people… heavenly.

Jesus H Christ! Their hot chocolate is delicious… today was the first time the guy at the counter had made it as they have been open for just over a week. Well, the hot chocolate tastes like it came out of the recipe book from my dreams. That book is certainly awesome and CR’s hot chocolate is now my standard of measurement for comparison, IF, if I ever order hot chocolate from anywhere else ever again. Also had the chocolate croissant and custard filled donut (actual name starts with a B). Café Renzo makes all of their pastries, breads, and everything edible that’s paid for by the customer, in-​house. I’m not aware of many places that do this around here. I feel lucky and thankful to have this spot in my neighborhood. Please come enjoy this new spot and spread the word about it, spread it!

For a quick bite of panini mozzarella and Cesear salad and an array of terrifc baked goods this place is a perfect addition to Main Street Tiburon! Bravo.

***I have to just cut to the chase; FINALLY! A café in Tiburon open till after 6pm!!! In fact, they’re open till 9:30pm every single day!!! (except they are closed Tuesdays).***
I’m excited to write the first review for Café Renzo! So named because it’s the second establishment here in Tiburon by Lorenzo (and, presumably, his wife helps to run this one too), after the wonderful Luna Blue.
PROS: I need to enumerate these, because these are HUGE for Tiburon:
1. FINALLY! A proper café (with snacks, sandwiches, coffee, tea, wine, beer, pastries) open till (relatively) late at night! They’re open till 930pm every night! Tiburon has desperately — DESPERATELY needed this for YEARS; it’s about time!
2. FINALLY! Outdoor patio seating, and with the lovely sound of a fountain to boot!
3. FINALLY! More free WiFi!
CONS: ZERO. Although if you’re not familiar with Tibs (I live here, I can call it that lol), it may be a little tough for you to find: it’s just off the main street. And, ok, I suppose the patio seats, while they look super comfy and up-​scale, aren’t in fact the most comfortable…
So, SO happy about this. It’s about time. :) Wishing Lorenzo and his wife best of luck with this wonderful new café; I can say for sure we will be here all the time!
