This casual spot has excellent sandwiches and daily hot entrees. You order from a counter and sit at a communal table or an upstairs quiet area with free wi-fi. Take out is popular for the nearby beach. They have the best chicken salad around and also have home-made bread and pastries.

They also have coffee and a large selection of juices and waters. Their muffins are especially noteworthy - I recommend peach and ginger. There are three choices for seating - a few tables downstairs, more tables upstairs in an... More

I have visited this retaurant/cafe two years in a row and it just gets better. I've now had breakfast, coffee and lunch here and their sandwiches are soooo delicious. Very healthy selection, great bagels, BEST lattes and lots of other goodies to choose from. I will say its a bit tight in there with a huge awkward table in the... More

Muffins and breakfast sandwiches are great with excellent coffee and a communal table where you can browse the newspaper or read a magazine while you chat with the staff or other customers. Sandwiches are delicious with good quality meats and choice of many fresh breads. You can take a sandwich to the beach and really relax. Good soup and a... More
