What’s on Offer Across Marin County

From grazing boards to family-friendly buffets, Marin vendors are focusing on convenience but not losing that local flavor. Whether you’re planning something small in Tiburon or a big Easter brunch in Sausalito, there’s no shortage of options in Mill Valley, San Anselmo, and shops all over Marin ready to help you celebrate.

Grazing Tables and Custom Boards from Tiburon and Mill Valley

À La Board Marin, based in Tiburon, crafts custom charcuterie boards and grazing tables with premium local cheeses, cured meats, and seasonal extras. Orders need 48 hours’ notice, and Marin delivery runs $15. Easter deadlines are April 1 for grazing tables and April 3 for boards and cups, which works well for hosts in Mill Valley and San Francisco Bay Area-adjacent Marin.

Over in Mill Valley, The GoodLife Shop—run by Heather Hardcastle of Flour Craft Bakery & Cafe—offers limited-edition Easter picnic baskets for two through April 5 at $129. The shop also sells kitchen and home goods online, making it easy to pick up gift-ready spreads for folks in Larkspur or Corte Madera.

Flour Craft Bakery itself is rolling out Easter and Passover menus with treats like carrot cake, flourless almond cake, lemon-blueberry cheesecake, and bake-at-home hot cross buns. You can pick up in Mill Valley or San Anselmo. It’s a local collaboration that makes entertaining in the Marinwood corridor surprisingly easy.

From the Farm: Regenerative Meats and Roasts

Stemple Creek Ranch is selling bone-in leg of lamb, beef brisket, and ham roast from its regenerative, grass-fed operations. Place Easter and Passover orders by March 29, or buy at the March 26 Thursday Marin farmers market. For families in Novato, San Rafael, or Nicasio looking for a sustainable holiday main, this is a solid pick that pairs well with sides from other Marin cooks.

Seder Meals and Easter Dining Experiences

Bubbala’s Neighborhood Eatery in San Anselmo is offering a four-person Seder meal with classics like matzo ball soup and Harriet’s braised brisket. À la carte options and a Seder plate kit are also available. Pickup runs March 31–April 8 at two locations, giving families in Tiburon and Ross some flexibility with their Passover plans.

Easter Brunch, Buffets and Scenic Venues

Cavallo Point in Sausalito is hosting an interactive Easter cooking-school brunch on April 5 for $195. There’s also a larger buffet in the Callippe Ballroom with tickets at $175 in advance, $185 at the door, and $75 for kids. The package includes valet or self-parking and a complimentary adult drink. It’s a great excuse to spend a memorable day near the Golden Gate Bridge without leaving Marin County.

The Pelican Inn in Muir Beach will throw an Easter egg hunt, followed by a three-course buffet on April 5. Expect starters and mains like rosemary-garlic leg of lamb or Loch Duart salmon, plus sides and desserts. Adults pay $79 and kids $35, and you’ll need a reservation for this seaside West Marin celebration.

Plan Ahead: Ordering Deadlines and Tips

Most Marin vendors say you should reserve or order early because spots fill up fast around the holidays. If you plan ahead, you’ll get your favorite pickup times and skip that last-minute scramble in Mill Valley, San Anselmo, or Tiburon.

Menus, pricing, and reservations are usually on each business’s website. You can also just call the numbers below if that’s easier. Here’s a quick look at some deadlines to keep in mind:

  • À La Board Marin (Tiburon): Give them 48 hours’ notice. Easter grazing tables need to be ordered by April 1, boards and cups by April 3. Marin delivery is $15.
  • The GoodLife Shop (Mill Valley): Easter picnic baskets for two available through April 5; $129.
  • Flour Craft Bakery (Mill Valley/San Anselmo): Easter & Passover baked goods and menus. Pick up in Mill Valley or San Anselmo. Deadlines vary, so double-check.
  • Stemple Creek Ranch (Marin): Orders due March 29. Or just buy at Marin Farmers Market on March 26. They’ve got local, grass-fed options.
  • Bubbala’s Neighborhood Eatery (San Anselmo): Seder for four; pickup March 31–April 8. They also offer à la carte options and Seder plate kits.
  • Cavallo Point (Sausalito): Easter cooking-school brunch on April 5. Buffets, pricing, and parking details are on their site.
  • Pelican Inn (Muir Beach): Easter egg hunt and a three-course buffet on April 5. $79 for adults; $35 for kids. You’ll need a reservation.

Maybe you’re organizing a Tiburon family dinner, a San Anselmo Seder, or a Muir Beach Easter lunch. Marin’s got choices for busy folks who still want local flavor. For the latest details, check each business’s website or give them a call. Sometimes it’s just easier to start with a quick tap or call in Mill Valley, Sausalito, or San Rafael.
