is a favorite place of mine to go to breakfast with friends.
This café and deli was recently renovated and is on the
1925 landmark “Arches Restaurant” property.
Cute interiors with beachy woodwork and beams…
Gourmet boxed lunches are available to take to the beach or boating and
there is an ever changing seasonal display of gift items
They have metal topped tables with woven bistro chairs.
And their granola with home-made yogurt and berries is delicious.

The sandwiches for lunch are fabulous at A Market as well. My husband had lunch there for the first time and wound up going there three days in a row! Your taste in bistros is the same as your design abilities…divine.
