Had an awesome healthy breakfast the other day at Locals Collective over by Rockaway Beach. I got…read morethe breakfast sammy for $12, which consisted of 2 eggs, avocado smash, sprout, tomato, monterey jack cheese and spicy aioli on whole grain toast. I love the surf vibe here. They even rent surf boards, $35 for 2 hours and $60 for 4 hours. How cool is that!? I'll definitely be coming here throughout the summer when hanging out with friends at the beach.

A great place for drinks and food on your way too or from the beach!…read more Our group of 4 went in on a Saturday morning around 11 to grab food and drinks to go. I got the watermelon juice and wrap. The juice was yummy and the wrap was okay but didn't blow me away. I will say that it did come out very quickly despite there being several orders in front of us! The space has plenty of room to sit both inside and out. The workers were also very friendly despite the rush. They also have a bathroom to use if you are a customer. Would recommend!

I want to like Rockaway Roasters more but every time I go the vibes are a little off…read more Starting with the good--the drinks are great, especially the nitro cold brew. The location is fantastic, a 5 minute walk the beach. The inside is nice and has ample seating with Wi-Fi and outlets. The bad--each time I have gone, there's always something going on with the staff. There is one regular worker in particular who I've witnessed: - Turn away customers who want a smoothie or juice because "the blender is already cleaned", a full hour or two before closing - Complain loudly about people coming from the beach and bringing sand inside (as my group is walking in from the beach) - Go on a prejudiced rant about LGBT+ people, loud enough for the entire cafe to hear - Go around and tell customers that the cafe is closing soon, an hour before closing. One time she mentioned it several times to me until I felt pressured to leave at 2:30pm, and she closed the cafe as I left (they are supposed to be open until 3pm) I'll continue going to Rockaway Roasters anytime I'm at the beach and craving their nitro cold brew, but probably only to-go. And not too close to closing time.

The apple pie is just perfect, apples layered with cinnamon and a flaky crust. The Salted Butterscotch Blondie was incredible. I have had their Bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit and it was excellent. The biscuit was flaky and is just as good as the ones I've had in South Carolina. I also really like their smoked salmon on an everything bagel croissant sandwich. The service is amazing. They are kind, helpful, and it has a very homey vibe. Paying with Venmo is different, but not a big deal, and by the second time I went there, it was just second nature. I would recommend this place to anyone, and plan to go over and over while I live in Arverne.

They've got fresh fruit smoothies with actual fresh fruit, a tasty avocado toast on some seriously delicious bread (pretty tiny, but only $5), and they are anti-plastic bottles, which is probably how we should all be. The caprese sandwich was a little weak for the price and tasted a little odd to me, but overall eating at La Fruteria made me feel much better about the giant bag of chips and the Frito Pie I ate later on in the day. I'd do it again. ____________ *A beach gut is like a beach body, but worse. If you're confused, ask me to show you mine next time you see me.
