I had visited a number of years ago I realized, and it looks largely the same, like a cozy surf shop within a café including merchandise and zesty decorations around. It's popular and can get cramped with everyone waiting, so there's also an outdoor patio kind of seating area too. The entrance is an unassuming storefront on the main street of Gloucester and down a set of stairs. I had to order the special golden hour latte, a sublime mix of vanilla, cinnamon, and honey flavors with vanilla cold foam. It was one of the best lattes I've had in a while! To eat I had the avocado bacon bagel, a wonderful menu item that hit the spot. Everyone there is very nice. Castaways is a memorable breakfast place, for sure worth visiting if you're in the area during the morning and early afternoon.

I used to go to this place way back when it was called "Rawbert's" and it was my favorite…read morerestaurant, would travel every week from N Andover several times to do pick up. After being a customer for many years I moved to RI and on occasion would come back when visiting. Noticed the menu has been through lots of changes, I miss the "raw" aspect of it. Yesterday was super bowl sunday and I ordered over 100 dollars of food. I would say it was "okay" but the wait was super crazy. We ordered online 3 hours ahead and still ended up waiting another 40 mins for it. The pizza is no longer on a homemade raw base it seems to be on a typical packaged crust. It wasnt what I was used to from this place but it wasn't bad. The mac and cheese was really bad; The macaroni wasn't cooked and it had no flavor. The nachos were very good but super soggy because they were probably waiting for the other foods to be cooked . My sister liked her bowl and I liked my wrap. I'm not a local so I can't say "bring back the spring rolls and the raw based pizzas etc" They do what they need to do to survive.

The iced maple latte had a great balance of sweet and strong coffee taste I really enjoyed it. My boyfriend said his cold brew was watered down and not as strong/flavorful as he preferred. The açaí bowl was a great size to split between us however was very very healthy and not sweet (if that is your thing then this is perfect for you but I prefer it to be a little sweeter). The base was inconsistent but tasty, it had a very generous portion of toppings but the granola was just plain oat and I didn't love the goji berries. If I had known the granola was going to be that plain, I would have added a peanut butter sauce on top.

It was DELICIOUS!! It reminds me of the Erewhon Vanilla Soft Serve I had last month and I cannot forget about it. Service was very good. Staff was friendly and I got my bowl fairly quickly.

This casual spot looks inviting which is order & pay at the counter with painted murals, a few finished tree stump tables and more table seating in the Best Bagel area (they close up much earlier than Acailand). I stopped by Acailand for an acai bowl. Their touchscreen kiosk was not working properly, but it gave me ideas of topping choices I could add to my bowl. The acai bowls are priced from $13 (small 1-2 people) to $17 (medium) $19 (large 4 people) with up to 8 choices of toppings. I decided on a Small American Classic Acai Bowl ($13 plus tax) which has acai, strawberry, blueberry, granola, honey, and cashews and I customized with additions of mango, kiwi, and coconut flakes. My bowl was made to order quickly and packed up well, over the top with plenty of toppings over the rim of the plastic bowl. I drove down the road to a coffee place and enjoyed my very sweet acai bowl with some black coffee. They essentially made my acai bowl the way I liked it with plenty of fresh fruits, nuts, and honey. I couldn't finish this in one sitting and stuck it in the freezer to enjoy the next day. I would definitely stop by again if I happen to be driving by and need a sweet fruity dessert.

There were staff available but I waited for a while at the counter for someone to notice me and take my order. I spent around $25 for 2 items, am injured with difficulty walking, and they wouldn't let me use the bathroom, hinting that they had one but not "for the public". Instead they directed me to a public restroom down the road with 4 stalls for hundreds of people at the beach. The açaí was good though. I guess you have to weigh the pros and cons.
