Yes the wait is bad. We had about 30 min however the pulled pork was amazing and the fries are to die for. There was fun music and the beer came quick. I recommend to anyone that has the time.

Huge portion of food. Nice area. It is possible to enjoy the crowd on the promenade and to relax with a nice drink.

Best individual cheese croissant on the west coast. Friendly , laid back atmosphere with tasty Italian coffee . I could crawl up and take a nap in here

Jeremy Johnstone

Great local breakfast spot , simple & hearty, slow service is good for you to enjoy the sunshine.

Ben Blair

The eggs ben is the bomb but the Cajun potatoes were even better. Get Gareth as your server and you'll be well taken care of!

Danielle "Norm" Farrar

Whoa. Pitchers super cheap !! Even not on happy hour , excellent prices, friendly service .

Daniel Shaw

the best onion rings I’ve ever had!

Marvin Andujar

The place is not that big and the restroom is well not the greatest, but the food is good for a beach place. Its a good place to eat when you go to the beach .

Mary McDean

Busy on weekends. Hard to get an outside seating but inside dining is almost empty. Free street entertainment right across the cafe . Burger is good.

Brendan Gerrity

Gustavo Guimaraes

Make sure you ask for the complimentary pita chips , sometimes they "forget" to bring it

Italian coffee while accompanied by one's dog is ok here.

Iknow Thisgirlfromsomewhere

Failed every single point. Everything was wrong with this place. Food wasn't what they said it was, it was poorly made and sloppily delivered. Service took forever and even the pen to sign was broke

Phil

Nice view from the terrace .

Rodolfo Colville

Danone

Lauren Hansen

The sangria is so delicious!

Alex Davies

Don't go here! Waited 45 and never got our food so we left after we saw people who got there after us get their food. TERRIBLE SERVICE! Waitress never even apologized

John S.

So thoughtful! Gives us all blankets!!!

Ashley Nicholson

Pasta was amazing!!!! But service was the slowest I have ever experienced. 40 minute wait for my food?! Are you kidding me?!

Shellee

Slowest service ever. 40 minutes and I'm still waiting for my food!!! I'm not so sure if a cook actually exists. Avoid if you are hungry.

Matt S
