Crema's Take
“Custom House is a casual counter-service spot right on Avila Beach where you'll find genuinely good seafood—think flaky fish and properly seasoned cioppino—at prices that won't gouge you for beachfront proximity. The self-service format and efficient vibe make it perfect for grabbing something solid before a beach walk rather than lingering over a leisurely meal, and the recent streamlining has actually worked in its favor for quick eaters and solo diners.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

Dont go here if you are expecting to have a nice sit down meal. You have to order and serve yourself now. The food was ok but could have been better. The chicken quesedilla was so greasy I could barely eat it. My dad got the jumbo clam strips and were burnt and tough to eat.…
