Beth's Community Kitchen (Mill Valley)
Beth's Community Kitchen is a bakery that opened recently in downtown Mill Valley. The few things I've had there have been from very good to stunning. The pecan pie is a less-gluey-filling version than "traditional" pecan pie and has intense flavor. The current scone was probably the best scone I've ever had. You need to check this place out.

We've been waiting for Beth's to open for what seems like a couple of years, and since it's opened, we've tried several of her items.
Overall they are excellent, and I'd agree with Malcolm - from very good to superb. The little cookies are wonderful and highly addictive, the scones are top rate and yesterday I had an apple turnover that combined excellent flaky pastry with a nice, fresh tart apple filling. On an earlier visit, late afternoon, much of their stock was gone, but I sampled the tomato foccacia and it was excellent - bright tomatoes (both fresh and sun-dried) and perfectly chewy foccacia texture.
There are few great bakeries in Marin (another new one worth a visit is SweetLife up in San Anselmo) and we feel fortunate to have one of the good ones this close to home!
