A unique locally owned place to have delicious coffee when in Novato. This is where the locals go on Grant Avenue. On a sunny day, being at Dr. Insomniac’s is delightful! Plenty of space to sit, whether it is out in front, bistro-sidewalk style or on the spacious patio outback. The scones are yummy! I had the peach blueberry. The man ahead of me in line recommended it as he had one. An odd flavor combination at first sight. But oh the taste is delicious. My cafe latte was satisfying with a generous amount of rich frothy whole milk. Get to Dr. Insomniac’s a bit early because it gets busy and the line is out the door. Service is excellent! Staff very friendly and helpful. If you want to get a sense of the real local town of Novato, Dr. Insomniac’s is the place, especially on a sunny day.

My new favorite coffee shop. They have an incredible variety of baked goods, smoothies, breakfast and lunch options that I have yet to try. My go-to is the honey nut latte with oat milk, half sweet.

Nice establishment with great coffee and snacks. The food that the customer receives might be microwaved but still much better than whole food hot bar. Everything is fairly priced except the pastries. In my opinion. The place is clean and has plenty of parking. It’s good to have such a cafe in the area.

I was on a vacay away from the hustle and bustle and I had about 3 hours left before reaching home and needed to wake up, so I decided to check this place out, coffee was strong enough that I was awake the whole ride and many mores after 😳. Their mango smoothie and scuffins were amazing as well! I wish they branch out and open more to different locations :)

Dr Insomniac is a great business that I hope will last and last. Great breakfast treats including their scuffins (scone muffin). Try a seasonal beverage. It is all delightful. Lots of places to sit and savor.

I have no idea why this place has a positive rating or why we keep torturing ourselves by returning, but were definitely done giving chances. There was another gentleman there at the same time today who left feeling the same way - he was not happy at all and voiced his opinion to the cashier. Theres many establishments on this main street to get higher quality food with genuine customer service to match. Would never recommend Dr. Insomniacs.

Simple cafe with a bunch of tables just outside. I wanted a quick breakfast before leaving town, so I had their Denver scramble and banana nut bread. Both were pretty good. I need to try their signature scuffins next time.

We were heading toward SFO from Bodega Bay and pulled off hey to find a breakfast spot. Made a turn just to get oriented and found this place. Perfect! Great Chai Latte and breakfast dishes.

The staff was incredibly friendly, and I received my coffee promptly. Additionally, they offer a delightful patio seating area where you can bask in the sun while waiting for your food.

Whats not to like (love!) about this wonderful Dr.Insomniacs Cafe Coffee Roastery - coffee, breakfast/lunch/bakery/anytime food, and wonderful ambiance establishment in downtown Novato! (Its like going to Grandmas house! ) The beautiful remodeled historic building and location of the 1893 blacksmith shop (The Fashion Shop) of Stephen Porcella with Porcella family house -- is on the Natl Reg. of Historic Places. The family who operates this wonderful food and coffee establishment put a lot of thought and love into making everything just right! The BEST!
