My favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Fresh made in-house scones and pastries. Try their famous drink, the Snowy Plover (sparkling water, espresso, and house made whipped cream).

Extremely popular brunch spot that is renowned for their toast. Expect wait times of upwards of 1.5 hours on weekends (but since it is 4 blocks from our airbnb, you can wait at home). Interior is covered in reclaimed wood. Also a good option for dinner and cocktails (you can set a reservation).

Once featured on the This American Life podcast, this coffee shop is known for its grungy vibe. They sell only coffee, coconuts, and toast. They're not particularly known for customer service, but it's worth experiencing!

Go-to weekend lunch spot! They started as two dudes selling their daily catch and now they have their own restaurant. The fish burrito has the best value, my fiance raves about the fish sandwich, and try their carrot habanero hot sauce. You can't go wrong here! Also walking distance.

It's a Natural History Museum, Planetarium, Aquarium, and Biodome all in one! Check out rainforests of the world in a 90ft glass dome and the albino alligator. Great for families! For adults, I highly recommend the adults only nightlife event on Thursdays from 6PM to 10PM (check the website beforehand for tickets) where the museum is open late and drinks are served.

There are cement fire pits set up along the coast where you are legally allowed to have fires and drink beers. Ends at 9 pm but the sun usually sets well before then. Fun with a group!
