Castagnola Deli & Café

Great for coffee and smoothies. Had the peach mango smoothie and it was so good!

A small coffee shop only a couple minutes from the beach, making it a great place to grab a coffee while you explore the area whether that's going to the beach or checking out the nearby stores. As well as drinks, they serve food and have some other local goods that work well for the beach. They have some outdoor seating as well if you want to take a break from exploring!

Food is cheaply made and overpriced, which in itself can be forgiven, but the owner was audibly snarky towards his disabled employee in the back and also with his own customers while checking them out. The atmosphere is also surrounded with passive aggressive jabs at customers with his signs which ostensibly are just reminding customers its not fast food" which combined with his demeanor also seem to try and excuse his own slow service while elevating it beyond what it is. When asked for a "to-go" box for a sandwich which he offered to go, he handed us napkins and a paper sleeve leftover from him handling the pastries. All around cheap, overpriced food that makes the majority of its money from tourists who don't know any better and just see it as a quaint deli by the beach. I hope a better place takes its spot eventually.

Update the Tri-tip Whaler is another fav and the creamy chicken pesto yummy!!! Great local hidden treasure! Got the chicken parm. And the apple brie chicken for my wife. So tasty! And under 10 bucks each. And you can order online!

The avocado toast is so good! Yes it was a bit of a wait but you know good food takes time and it was so worth the wait. Love it here!
