    Turkey panini
    Katherine G.

    Incredibly fresh food, amazing smoothies. The seating is outside, on a little patio, surrounded by succulents and fragrant rosemary.

    Store front with pick up window/door. Hee

    My Boyfriend came across this adorable little town when he came out this way for a job. An adorable little beach, community with surfers galore, and a Great Beach to walk on, and wading area for children. As we walked around the whole town as well as the beach, we ran into a handful of adorable little stores, restaurants, and this particular café! I really wanted some thing, light and a cup of coffee. To my surprise they had Panini's, as well as açai, bowls, and organic, fair, trade, coffee! I was sold!! When I walked in, I was greeted by a very nice gentleman And there was another gentleman in the back/side working on orders. I was able to order a chicken pesto Panini sandwich and get a cup of coffee. I'm out there in patient and I asked if I could get some ice so I could drink the coffee faster and the gentleman Got me a good amount of ice as well. Lol very sweet and delicious fair trade coffee!! I'm disappointed I put sugar inside, because fair trade is usually too dark for me since I like very mild/light roast coffee but their fair trade was pretty balanced in flavor and I don't think I needed the sugar. Lol I also loved the very crunchy crispy mini pickles that came with the Panini sandwich! My boyfriend and I split the sandwich and it hit the spot!! I honestly love this little coffee shop/restaurant and the seating area outside, with all the succulents around you and this little town is too cute!!! I definitely want to come back again, and again!! If you've ever been to Santa Cruz, this area reminds me of Pleasure Point! Another adorable beach community with great mom and pop shops all around and Amazing people!

    Channel Bowl and smoothie. Just totally awesome.

    I don't want to tell you about it because you might mess it all up :) This place is a gem. The whole town is just great and BoVida captures the spirit for sure. The food and smoothie were both incredible, and refreshing after a long hike. Take it to go and eat it in the park just a few steps away.

The parking lot is usually packed as it is shared amongst the other businesses. Holiday-themed treats and items next to the pre-packaged baked goodies. Grab a fresh squeezed juice, shot, or blended smoothie. The bakery had gorgeous fancy-looking whole cakes, slices of cheesecake, mini tea cakes, macarons, lava cakes, and more. There is a hot food bar, salad & soup bar, deli, pre-packaged food for those quick on-the-go with items such as burritos, chicken tenders w/ a side of ranch, side salads, larger salads, mini pizzas, half lox bagels, sandwiches, the list goes on. They even have an area where you can get sushi. I hear their sushi and sandwiches made to order are really good. They have quite the array of cheeses, side options like olives with feta or macaroni salad, potato salad, chicken salad, fruits and jams, easy to shop for special hosting events. This was only the area of Nugget Market I have been able to walk around and view. Their aisles look small, but they are well-stocked and not difficult trying to see what is on the shelf. During the lunch time rush, there have been more people inside where lines may form, however, other times in the mid-afternoon, I have not run into the issue of waiting at checkout. A great market to have in the community!

    This is one of those places that just kind of feels like home…read more I've been stopping by this market for as long as I've been hiking in the Golden Gate Area, which is over a decade. Some of Good Earth's items are on the super pricy side, but some are also reasonable. The deli and bakery items are usually pretty good. This was the first place I ever found Sjaak's chocolate. Sadly, they no longer exist, but I used to always stop by for their Hearts of Cherry after hiking around Mt Tam. Today I stopped by for whatever looked good enough to buy, which happened to be a pesto chicken calzone from the hot deli case, a slice of chocolate cake that looked too good to be $5, some roma tomatoes, and a blueberry banana water. The pesto chicken calzone had decent flavor, but it literally had like half a cup of grilled onions on it. Like, there was an entire opaque layer of grilled onion. Adding onions to compensate for less meat is one of the oldest Italian tricks in the book, and is the basis of many great recipes. In this case, it was a little much. Also, the crust didn't have any flavor, but for $10, for this area, it wasn't bad. The chocolate cake was the worst chocolate cake I've ever had in my life. It should have been labeled "iced biscotti," because that's about how dry it was. After a few bites, I had to double check to make sure I didn't accidentally grab an expired piece. It was so dry!! Okay, so, the cake was a mistake, but everything else was good. Their fresh deli pizzas looked AMAZING, but I did not take one home. Overall, the store is very clean, well lit, and merchandised nicely. My only issue is the twinkie sized stall in the ladies room, with a door that opens inward, trapping anyone who is greater than four inches in diameter between the toilet and the door. Sometimes you seriously have to wonder what kind of psychopath designed women's public restrooms. It's like, if you are larger than an actual Barbie doll, good luck getting in and out without touching the public toilet! So, I actually made two separate purchases. First, I purchased the calzone, and took it back to my car to eat. Noticing that I was surrounded by Teslas and eating disorders, I put up my sunshades so that I could eat in peace, without becoming a TikTok reel. After I finished eating, as I was lowering my sunshade, I caught the man parked next to me in the act of taking a video of me, anyway! My car is ugly enough to make a classist person assume that I'm a homeless person, which I'm sure is what happened in this case. Maybe he was planning to post it on social media as an example of how homeless people were ruining his life. When he saw a nicely dressed woman in a brand new, pretty dress (me) he looked shocked. I looked back and forth between him and his phone which was pointed at me, and glared. He lowered the phone and stared at me, wide eyed and jaw dropped, as if he wanted to explain. I glared at him as hard as I could. Classist rich people harass me like this all the time. As a formerly homeless person, I know that in reality, there's no such thing as "looking homeless." People who "look homeless" are usually housed and struggling with mental health issues, while homeless people who live in shelters are usually very well-groomed. But tell that to the classist rich person who thinks it's funny to take videos of other people and post them on the internet to mock them. I wish it was illegal to do that, but it's not. So if I'm posted on "homeless people of Marin" or something, that's what's up, even though I'm very much housed and employed. A calzone with a side of classism. Not the store's fault. But irritating none the less.

    A great pick me up spot for something refreshing, a caffeine fix, or something sweet!…read more My favorite here is the Chocolate Thunder! Be warned that the regular size comes with 2 shots of espresso and the large size comes with 4 shots of espresso. I recently started adding the strawberry foam to it and it elevated it so much. The strawberry foam is rich in taste and not too sweet so it balances out the chocolate and coffee perfectly. If I'm looking for something refreshing I go for the Sweet Basil or Pearfection. Both with an in-house made purée that add a great taste to the tea lemonades. They also offer add ons at an extra charge: chamoy, tajin, mango star jellies. They also have a variety of quesadillas that are made with a handmade flour tortilla and all pressed in a panini press which gives it a nice crunch. My favorite is the turkey one which comes with a jalapeño cheddar cream cheese that gives it a little kick. The pastries vary from day to day but if you see cinnamon rolls I suggest you get one! They're so fluffy and not too overly sweet like the typical ones. Staff is welcoming and friendly. They always answer questions and suggest different drinks/pastries depending on what you like. Located inside the community center with some seating available. There is a parking lot so parking is easy.

The cold foam helped balance the flavor after mixing, but didn't last very long. My friend's Carrot Cake Matcha was smooth and lightly spiced, with a subtle sweetness.

The place is gorgeous, relaxing, welcoming. They have a little shop close to the water, with a walk-up window or drive through (we walked up). Walking up to the counter, we couldnt get over the beauty of the scenery. Service was great btw, the young lady was patient and nice, answered the few questions we had. We ended up ordering a jumbo sized chocolate strawberry smoothie (with whipped cream). As i finished paying, kiddo wanted to walk off and sit at the bench, so he did. Few moments went by of us gawking at the scenery and just how awesome of a spot it was (we were really hoping the drink came out good because we wanted to come back), and then the drink was ready.... maaaaan, that smoothie was delicious. It tasted fresh, and rich- it wasnt overly sweet, and the strawberry tasted fresh. We definitely will be coming back to try their foods, different drinks, and just take in the scenery. Amazing experience.
