Darkstar Coffee Roasters

$ Fodor's Choice

It's rare for a coffee place to be a destination, but folks on the Avalon say this little coffee place with an ocean view is worth the drive. The brews are roasted in-house and served with fresh pies and pastries. The interior has a contemporary industrial feel with communal tables, and the rear deck overlooks the water.

Red Ochre Cafe

$$

This A-frame roadside eatery prepares classic diner food with a kick. The menu is simple but with special touches, like artisanal bread for the chicken sandwich, and the rotating selection of cheesecakes. The warm wood-lined interior creates an inviting atmosphere, with an upper loft for a more peaceful space and a deck for finer weather.
