    TLDR: Good food (sweet and savory), delicious beverages, clean, sitting tables, bathroom available. Delicious food and drinks! We stopped for an afternoon pick-me-up and we're pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. The cookie dough cheesecake had a cookie crust, graham cracker crumble topping and the cheesecake was perfectly sweetened so you could still enjoy the cream cheese. Our drinks were well made with high quality flavors. For savories, the hearty burrito was full of eggs and bacon served steaming hot. The ambiance is not to be ignored though, beautiful classy decor and solid tables for enjoying our goodies.

    I was a little put off by the lack of food safety measures. A gentleman asked for cheesecake and was told to get it himself out of the case, no sneeze guard, one utensil for all items. When a woman asked to exchange the serving utensil because it was dirty, the server said to just put it back. Donuts are out in the open. If you're concerned about germs or cross contamination, this might not be an ideal spot.

    Wonderful little Café near the beach. Charming ambiance. Colorful people watching experience if you want to hang out by yourself and read. Drip coffee isn't fresh but I'm a black coffee weirdo so if you want a speciality drink you will be pleased.

    Ordered an iced chai with soy milk and it was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and busy with friendly people. I also purchased a hoodie and it’s so comfy and very well made. I can’t wait to come back and try more drinks and definitely some of their food.
