A snazzy date night you can walk to. This place is great if you are looking for something a little nicer than your standard beach town fare.

Half bakery/half cafe, this place has something for everyone. If you'll be celebrating a special occasion during your stay, a chocolate ganache cake from the Buttery is a must. Also great for lunch or breakfast.
