Description

Set against the island's tourist-heavy seafood restaurants, this small, old-school spot offers a quieter local alternative. Seating ranges from couches with coffee tables to a sidewalk bench. The kitchen serves matcha alongside savory bites like spicy chili cheese danishes and warm, buttery cheddar scallion scones. It is a casual setup built equally for bumping into neighbors or sitting alone.
