The food was very good; I had the TBA and my husband had the club sandwich on (homemade??) foccacia bread. Delicious! The coffee was very good as well. My latte was perfect, with a pretty design on top. We sat at a window table, but there is cozy seating in another section, with a semi-walled off area that would be good for a group... or just some solitary quiet study, if it's not busy. They advertised an upcoming family game night, and service was friendly and quick. We'll be back! It's a nice refuge from the chilly weather, about 1-2 blocks from beach public access. Highly recommended.

The coffee beans they use are so smooth tasting.. not bitter or burnt.. just right. The Avocado Toast was very good.. fresh micro greens on top with the best sun dries tomatoes..

The service was excellent and the employees and manager were extremely nice.. next time I will bring my daughter and sit on the patio.. Another plus was watching their food handling techniques.. spot on! Highly recommend trying this spot..then taking a walk along the beach.

The restaurant is by the 18th hole of the golf course, a great location. We had the option to pick from a indoor and outdoor table, we chose to sit outside on a great day. They have umbrellas that make it comfortable to sit out in the setting sun. We got the soup of the day, Wild Halibut and Saffron Risotto, and Bucatini & Clams. We liked the soup, both the Wild Halibut and Saffron Risotto and Bucatini & Clams were both great. We loved them both. I also enjoyed a Raspberry Whiff. We finished with Chai Creme Brulee. It was great, a lovely end to our meal.

I was really disappointed that they only did brunch 1 day a week, but we did come back for it. Service every time was wonderful. The appetizer was bruschetta which is a go-to for me. It was delicious, however the balsamic was really thick and there probably shouldn't have been so much. I did happily eat it all. For the dinner we had scallop with red pepper risotto and mushroom pierogis. The scallops were big and perfectly cooked. The red pepper risotto however was a little overwhelming in the red pepper flavor. My husband thought it was delicious and ate it. The pierogis seemed really underwhelming and store bought. It was cheese pierogis with mushroom and arugula on the outside. I feel like if they were made in-house, the mushroom would be on the inside. They were still really good and I ate them all as well. The brunch is the thing I waited for. The lemon ricotta pancakes were to die for! They were so perfectly soft and cakey. I sadly couldn't eat them all because they were so large so I recommend sharing. Those were definitely the star of the show. I don't plan to come back to this area but if I do I would 100% come here again for the brunch. The dinner menu does change by season so I recommend looking at the menu online.

The cafe is a replica of a railway caboose and the kids could relate to the dining car experience. The covered patio is great to sit and munch on food, but on a sunny day, I would however recommend just ordering take out and sitting on the picnic tables right beside the cafe on a sunny day. We ordered a few beverages (Chai Latte, Americano & Maharaja Express) and snack items (ham sandwich & scone) - and everything was reasonably priced and served quickly. The scone was really good though, like better than many of the scones around. We imagined this being a quick coffee stop on the way but ending up spending a good 30mins soaking the views. The pit stop was worth every minute!

The menu is huge and everything on it seems to call your name, breakfast all day, tons of sandwiches, muffins, smoothies... seriously, so much to love here. On this visit we had the falafel and the Reuben, and both were delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
