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.

Irish Loop Coffee House

$

Just a five-minute drive from the boat-tour docks in Bay Bulls, this restaurant is affectionately know as "Judy's" to locals. Diner classics like tuna melts and BLTs are served with tea, coffee, or beer to sate hikers and tourists who have gratefully come upon this friendly beacon.

Madrock Café

$

Down a long road jutting off from the town of Bay Roberts, you'll find this small diner that's worth tracking down. Their toutons (a stiff, doughy, fry bread traditionally served with molasses) are quite tasty. The portions are plentiful but balanced and the prices are the best you will find on the island. Expect crowds.
