Crema's Take
“This is a 3.1-star shop based on only 12 reviews, so take the feedback with appropriate skepticism, but the pattern here is real: multiple people report weak, watered-down coffee, and there are serious complaints about staff rudeness that overshadow the occasional kind worker. It's a boardwalk grab-and-go spot where the to-go oatmilk latte landed okay and the pastries exist, but seagulls are an active problem and sitting down to actually enjoy anything isn't the vibe here.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu.

See all on Google →the coffee tasted terrible, it was really watered down, and seagulls were flying in and out constantly, but nice workers
Rude and trashy guy I'm assuming is the manager who was angry at seemingly everyone
(Plant-based reviewer) Made a pretty good oatmilk latte. Not a great place to sit and have coffee, but great for to-go and it's on the boardwalk 🙂
Good mocha frappe. Nice lady who worked there.
Serves coffee, tea, frappé, soft serve, muffins, scones, cinnamon rolls, fruit cups, parfaits, etc.
