    We ate here for lunch because the reviews of this place were so good and I can see why now! I had the veggie burrito bowl, basically a veggie burrito without the tortilla. It came with a side of sour cream and salsa made in house. The food portion was generous in size and the food tasted very fresh and flavorful. I loved the house made salsa. The service was great! Most places in Shelter Cove are very self serve. By that I mean you order at the front and then clear your plates at the end. Our food came out shortly after we ordered it. It's a relaxed ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating overlooks the ocean. This place has amazing views, food, and service! Highly recommend when in the area for breakfast or lunch.

    This little gem was the highlight of our trip to Black Sands. Ok, it was the second highlight after having coffee with seals. Fabulous coffee, quick service, and great food. The place is adorable, and that VIEW!!!!! Wish every morning started like this! Do it!

    Nothing can top this view

    What more does a small town need other than a brewery, a restaurant, and an amazing coffee shop? Surf Point Coffee served the most amazing breakfast we could ask for. The views were amazing, and the eggs benedict were top notch! We're kind of snobs when it comes to eggs benny and we agreed, this one was towards the top of our list! The coffee is freshly brewed and you know we also had to try a mocha. We stopped in again our second day for more coffee and this time a cinnamon roll. We also loved looking at the local artist goods available. This is just such an amazing stop and a great place to start the day.

    Although this was approximately our eighth trip to Shelter Cove, we had never tried Surf Point Cafe. Very cozy atmosphere, upscale but not pretentious. As close to the ocean as you can get without being in it! Excellent avocado toast for Anna, wonderful French toast for me! And when we went back, Anna got an eggs Benedict and I got their house-made cinnamon crunch cereal with blueberries aplenty. Their coffee is also most flavorful, with the heavy whipping cream we like so much (lesser places have only half and half.)I'm not a Benedict guy, but that hollandaise sauce and those potatoes...wow!

    Salmon/Lox bagels!

    Great spot for coffee, breakfast, and the ocean. I've had breakfast here a few times but have not tried the lunch. On a sunny day it's great to chill on the patio. Friendly folks serve and we always like the art and local items for sale. Stop by!

    Cozy atmosphere right on the water, delicious food, but what sets it apart is the service. My partner ordered the blue pea lavender latte and it came out kind of bland, but still good. Without saying anything, the owner noticed the color of the drink was not right and promptly made her a new one. Very thoughtful and sweet. We will definitely be back when we return to Shelter Cove.

    Such an amazing addition to the cove!!! The staff are the sweetest, the drinks are amazing. All of that could be horrible, but the view that they have, I'd still come back everyday. They turned a small town spot into something you'd see of a much larger city. There is even local art work from locals to buy. Surf Point checks all the boxes. If you're in town- it's a must visit!!!

    Cute place right on the water, with a beautiful view! Great looking pastries, but we had the avocado toast which was delicious. The coffee was okay, but it's not the focus here. Prices were very reasonable considering the remote location. A great go-to for breakfast or brunch with an oceanfront view.

    Love this spot. I wish I were local, I would come here all the time. Food was delicious with an incredible menu selection, and the BEST part is the VIEWS. Nothing better than drinking your morning cup of coffee and eating breakfast/lunch with a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. Staff were super friendly, and can't recommend it enough. A little but on the pricey side, but totally expected for location/tourist spot and definitely worth it.

    Breakfast sandwich and veggie burrito

    Cute & inviting cafe right on the ocean. The seals and sea birds hang out on the rocks. Both indoor and outdoor seating allow you to full take in the view. Unfortunately the potatoes were soggy in my breakfast burrito but the eggs were right on. The little cluster of grapes were wonderful - homegrown and full of flavor! Husband liked his breakfast sandwich very much. I thought the coffee was weak; I had an Americano.

    In one's life, they will encounter a certain number of sandwiches that are truly life changing…read more Sometimes it's the magic combo of high quality ingredients. After all, a smuckers pb&j doesn't have the same effect as an artisanal hand pounded nut spread with homemade jam. Sometimes it's because of the locale--a caprese on a baguette in Italy for example, might include the same ingredients but be as memorable as the one at the corner cafe. And it's understandable to think that perhaps Black Sands Bistro may have the benefit of the breathtaking view. And yes, their offerings are humble. But my. Goodness. This place is amazing. The life changing sandwich in question was the breakfast sandwich special: fresh, home made foccacia. Marinated, grilled veggies. Thick sliced quality ham. Covered in perfectly melted cheese. It was incredible. I had a meatball sandwich the next day, and while it was pretty damn good I will be thinking about the Alice in Wonderland special for a good long time. As a horde of comedians descended onto the town, full of last nights beer and quippy one liners, the kitchen didn't blink an eye as they fried up plate after plate of hearty, breakfast sandwich perfection. The owners were so welcoming to all of us. They make all the baked goods in house, including that delicious foccacia. And THAT VIEW. Where else can you enjoy a good meal with a view to match? Pair with a cold beer or a hot coffee and this is the perfect quiet ritual to begin your days in Shelter Cove. I will absolutely be back, again and again, whenever I am lucky enough to return to this beautiful part of the world.

This was my first time to Shelter Cove, and Black Sands Bistro was my first place to try food at. I wasn't expecting much. But I must say, we were very pleasantly surprised! I got a cheeseburger for $17 and being that it was a tourist town, expected a small, generic McDonald's type hamburger. But it was good sized, not preformed patties, with 3 slices of tomato and generous helping of lettuce and it was juicy and very good. They gave a nice selection of baked desserts (all $5) and they are large servings and not the generic baked items you find in every other aery in California. We got the German Chocolate Cake and it was quite good. I got coffee, too and it was better than average. While not cheap, it did seem to be one of the less expensive options. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. If we go back to Shelter Cove, this will be the place we always go to.

I feel like there are just enough haters leaving ridiculously negative reviews that completely lack the geographic awareness required to understand why anyone comes to a place called the MF Lost Coast. For starters, there are only like 3-6 places to go, period, let alone a restaurant where you can grab dinner and drinks. Why, you ask, my kind denizen of anti-reviews? Because you're on a stretch of far Northern California coastline that's practically cut off from mainstream civilization. There's one road in and out, and the closest town is at least an hour away, let alone a proper grocery store. No drug stores. No Uber Eats. And, most blasphemous of all, no Costco. Or, if you prefer your single-serving organic vegetables wrapped in plastic, no Trader Jizzles. So yeah... for reasons, no one fucking lives here. I, for one, love this place. Is it perfect? No. Is it a deal? Absolutely not. But is it the best place within an hour to kick up your feet after a long day outdoorsing? Hell fucking yes. And if you actually want places like this to survive on a remote finger of the Northern California coast for years to come, maybe tell your single-serving, artisanal, Trader Blows organic attitude to get lost... somewhere else.

The family had the pleasure of visiting Fort Bragg a couple of times this spring and the restaurants are good there, but Cowlick's Ice Cream is not to be missed! Everybody, but everybody is standing in line at Cowlick's Ice Cream, waiting to get some great one-of-a-kind ice cream flavors, floats, and toppings in downtown Fort Bragg. They have regular cones, sugar cones, waffle cones, and my favorite, chocolate dipped waffle cones! Ice creams can be adorned with with toppings galore and surely you will want to eat a nutritious meal, but may just go back for more ice cream! My personal favorite ice cream is the Hokey Pokey Honeycomb ice cream (on rotation, it is not available all the time). It is creamy and filled with honeycomb candy from a local Fort Bragg candy store! (Unfortunately for us, their the candy retail shop closed). The hubby and offspring went for and enjoyed the more traditional Rocky Road ice cream. Next trip I plan to try their ice cream sammys! The shop is clean and spacious, with plenty of places to sit inside and enjoy ice cream or shakes while watching the goings on in downtown Fort Bragg. I have never been there when there wasn't a wait to order, but it is well worth it! Locals and tourists alike can be consulted on flavor, cone or float choices. The clock is conveniently broken because when enjoying ice cream, who really cares about the time? So yeah, go spoil your next meal with some Cowlick's Ice Cream goodness! They won't disappoint! If you by chance get addicted to the ice cream, I found the local grocery stores carry pints to go! Lucky us!
