This spot is an easy walk from the house. It has great coffee and breakfast in the mornings- great for dining there or grabbing a pastry to go. We also love this spot for a drink and/or dinner- they usually have live music in the evenings. A lot of their produce is grown in their garden and they happen to have a lovely cheese selection.

We prefer the bar on the north side of the pier. Good for a beer and some oysters or clam chowder. They have a great happy hour Monday-Friday, 4-7pm.
The restaurant on the south side of the pier serves breakfast through dinner and has a more extensive menu.

This is our go-to spot for a great sub sandwich to grab on your way to the beach. But they have everything! Great Italian pizza, freshly made lasagna, eggplant parmesan, pasta and homemade sauces. You can walk down and eat there or bring it back to the house and heat it up for a night in.
