Kamson Coffee - San Rafael

It was my first visit to this out of the way coffee house. I am glad I went because I discovered a gem. Lina Kamson imports all 100% arabica coffees directly from individual villages throughout Northern Thailand. They roast them onsite. Great coffee. I am making this my coffee stop whenever I drive south on 101. It is a convenient location though hidden in a small strip mall next to the Dollar Store. Take the Francisco Blvd exit, look to your immediate left and you will see it. It is a small building with limited seating but the coffee is more than worth it.

Friendly service, great coffee! I even bought a bag if their coffee home and it was SO GOOD. Admittedly, I am not a big coffee connoisseur and don 't bother grinding my beans fresh. I don 't like Starbicks and prefer Peet 's but will always hit up indie coffee shops first. Kamson did not disappoint!The coffee I purchased for home was ground for me and the packaging says hazelnut . When I saw it after I got home, I was afraid I 'd made a bad choice-i don 't like flavored coffees. This is NOT flavored. I am impressed!

Shane whipped up some seriously thick foam that was so marshmallowy good for my peppermint mocha latte today! I'm so glad I took a wrong turn and found this place!

Exceptional espresso with a really cool backstory… Thailand-sourced direct-trade beans, roasted in house!

I am somewhat of an espresso connoisseur, and I can confidently say that Kamson Coffee made a bomb espresso. The beans are sourced extremely well and roasted right there in-house!Not only that, but the experience is great, as well. Shane, who from what I gather works there quite a bit, brings an air of hospitality that sets Kamson Coffee apart from many other coffee shops in the surrounding area.In addition to the espresso, I also ordered a croissant sandwich with egg and cheese that was pretty good.I highly recommend Kamson Coffee to anyone seeking quality coffee and an inviting café experience.
