This beach-side cafe is best known for its huge breakfast menu. Options range from the traditional (steak and eggs or Eggs Benedict) to fanciful (Java french toast or chocolate chip pancakes for example). I had lunch here, and absolutely flipped for my open faced crab cake sandwich. The crab tasted as if it had been caught that morning, and the crab cake wasn't bogged down with other fillers. A piece of toast and a fresh tomato made perfect accompaniments for this light lunch. Menu options here are upscale, but the setting is still casual. There's a covered patio outside and a diner-like interior. There's also a thoughtful kids menu.
