Red Whale Coffee

Red Whale Coffee at 169 Paul Dr in San Rafael is a local coffee bar and small-batch roastery serving single-origin and award-winning espresso, bags of freshly roasted beans, brewed coffee, cold brew and a rotating selection of pastries and merch—an inviting community spot for coffee lovers and remote workers. The shop pairs its roast-house offerings with a relaxed, playful vibe—complete with vintage video-game cabinets and a small pinball collection of five machines (examples include 2441, 2844, 686 and 2165)—a feature frequently noted and photographed in customer reviews.
