Wonderful, artisan coffee. A short 15 minute walk from the apartment - it's a perfect way to start off a morning. Check the hours because they do close early in the afternoons!

This restaurant is right on the water and has a great patio with firepits. The food is pretty good, service usually subpar - but ambiance is great, especially on a nice day!!
