Crema's Take
“The Chocolate Covered Scorpion is a genuinely creative signature drink that sets this place apart from typical beach town coffee shops, blending boldness with the laid-back Avila vibe. Service swings wildly depending on who's behind the counter, but when the staff is on, they're genuinely warm and attentive—it's worth timing your visit accordingly. The beachside location and outdoor seating make it an easy stop for a quality espresso drink before or after a walk, though parking can be tight.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.
