      I swore I was just gonna get a English breakfast tea, but that didn't work out. The pastries here look so good, are delicious and fresh. I end get a cherry cheese danish. It was so good and I ruined my appetite for lunch. Also, the service is always fast and friendly.

      While the rest of the lines in the rental car center move slow and are soo soooo long, Marina's is fast and short.

      Located on multiple levels, Marina's is a coffee and snack center with just the right amount of options to help descry the terrible experience of waiting for a rental car.

      On my visit I grabbed an Americano, and a Diet Coke. The snacks were well stocked and the deli items, tasty looking. The counters and displays were clean and tasteful.

      The service was friendly and quick. They made my Americano exactly as I requested. I almost wished they'd taken longer since I only had a long line to return.

      If I had been hungry after my flight and turning hangry due to the long rental lines, Marina's would be a relief and a sight for sore eyes.

      Expensive. Everything was pretty much premade and they warmed it up. I got a bagel with cream cheese expecting the cream cheese to be on the bagel but it came on the side. I watched one of the employees drop a lid on the counter where everyone put their hands, then put it on the cup for someone. Only option in the car rental place otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it.

      Came here to grab some caffeine after flying into SFO. They have a variety of yogurt, salad and other fresh foods available. Service was quick but you could tell their pastries come from Costco.

      I ordered a soy latte, which was fine but I wish there had been more coffee taste. My sister ordered a hot chocolate and it didn't have too much taste either. I would've only given them two stars but because their prices were reasonable I'll settle on three. Definitely not bad for a rental car complex.

      Long day taking the BART to SFO? Thank god they put something in the rental car drop off space for travelers. Strong iced coffee and reasonably priced, I say grab a few snacks. Super convenient if you're tight for time.

      Stepped off the train from SFO into the rental car facility and was totally jonesing for some caffeine. Lo and behold I find Marina's right in the middle of the rental car facility.

      Got a large iced coffee with room for cream. Strong and delicious!

      Apparently you can also get some breakfast foods and sandwiches here too. And there is a second physical location downstairs on the ground floor of the rental car facility.

      I happened to stop by today on 3/27/19 in the morning with my husband and my 3 year old son after dropping off a car rental. There was an older woman with an accent working behind the counter, I simply asked "can I please have 2 plastic forks" she gave me one. I said in a low tone "excuse me I asked for 2" she reached and gave me the other fork all while rolling her eyes. I told her that was rude and she goes "WHY DO YOU ASK THEN" (assuming I'd know she'd be rude) "YOURE NOT MY CUSTOMER SO WHY DO YOU ASK". Maybe it's time to look for another job if you're so unhappy with it.
