Make sure to have their BLA - Bacon lettuce and avocado . Beautifully put together on fresh bread . They serve local beer on tap .

I read about this cute little place & was just fancying a snack to regain my energy, so I stopped by. They’re classic grilled cheese definitely hit the spot & it went well with the view of the ocean????

Rob Anthony

Bacon baguette with cheddar , sliced apple , caramelized onions and spinach , and their generously seeded (sesame , sunflower and pumpkin ) side salad . Deeeeeelicious!

Anna James

Delicious sandwiches ; roasted chicken with sundried tomatoes ,kale pesto , and bacon with cheddar , apple ,caramelized onions , both are yummy.

Tasting Table

Eschew deep-fried Twinkies from the Boardwalk in favor of a sandwich here. Roasted sweet potato , goat cheese and olive tapenade on a baguette is a favorite; order a locally made beer to go with it: Read more

Maximum Burger

Pesto baguette was good, but very small for almost $15. Beautiful beachfront location. Reasonably quick

Jean Bishop

Have the Goldilocks for breakfast . Excellent, hearty, real food, whole grain goodness. The cream and candied walnuts are a treat.

Val Michetti

The turkey & avocado sandwich is perfection! Chicken salad sandwich too. A bit pricey but worthwhile since there's not much else around of quality....

Kiana

Be careful about the time you go. You can only sit inside, where there's heat blasting he place from a grill, or outside, where there's basically no shade. Great food, though. Terrible seating.

Coen Cuijpers

Fresh food , nice staff . And nice view on the beach :)

Bfast burrito is epic. With pickled cabbage . The filled to order jam donut is also amazeballs.

Joseph Terranella

Avocado toast is ok, more of a guacamole spread than slices of avocado , good baguette

Slow as can be. I felt like they were preparing a four-course meal while It was just a burrito . Avoid it on saturdays.

What kind of sandwich shop doesn’t have tomatoes ? I’m very confused
