Food Scene

We love this new restaurant and bar, they have an upscale casual coastal menu, a FANTASTIC ocean view, cool gift shop, a large bar up and down, all the sports. This place is a perfect addition to our area and will be a staple.

This is our go-to for breakfast and coffee. We love to ride bikes there and get their biscuit breakfast sandwiches and wraps etc. They make all kinds of yummy coffee drinks, have hand dipped ice cream, and donuts too. Their lunch menu is small but mighty, AND a huge bonus they have a reach in cooler with tall beers and last year at happy hour 4-6 only $2 each! Caddy corner to the beach walkover - dangerous! :) love this place...
