Rockaway Beach Coffee and Surf Storage Off the A Train
Rockaway Beach coffee comes with breakfast burritos, surf lessons, and 24 hour board storage off the A train.
☕ Breakfast by the Shore
Locals Collective NYC turns Rockaway Beach coffee into a year round basecamp, parked right off the A train in Arverne. The counter keeps espresso, breakfast burritos, beer, and wine moving, while the rest of the building handles surf lessons and climate controlled storage with full baths.
That combination is what carries the place through the cold months. Boards stay put in 24 hour climate controlled storage, which keeps a surf morning from ending in a wet drive back to the city.
Weekdays run 7 AM to 3 PM and the weekend stretches to 4 PM, an extra hour that counts when a session on the sand turns into a longer sit. Find it near Beach 69th St, a short walk from the shoreline and shaped around people who surf, eat, and linger.
