    Inside seating

    Second time visiting. Good service, nice gifts and delish sweets! It's a definite stop each time we visit Avila beach.

    I got the caramel cinnamon latte and it was not good. It tasted bitter.

    I got the caramel cinnamon latte and it was not good. The coffee was bitter and had no flavor.

    A must stop while in Avila Beach!

    What a wonderful coffee and pastries stop, which is now a destination to me. Right across from the beach, with a comfy outdoor seating area. Their coffee is delicious and try the Almond Pastries! An awesome selection of gifts many by local artists. And to top it off...Jim, the owner, Leann and all staff are wonderful people and cater to all with empathy and human kindness!

    Now my Avila go to instead of second favorite place to go for dessert, ice cream or lunches (We use to go to Custom House until the owners destroyed our go to spot with an ill thought out remake). The good news is Hula Hut in response has increased their menu options , and tripled their seating capacity. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is they now serve cheaper supermarket available ice cream (Tillimook) over what I think was SLO Maid before. If they had to change ice cream venders wish they would have gone with a higher quality option, otherwise 5 star beach front experience with always friendly service, fun choices, and fun beach vibe shopping souvenirs, t-shirts, and trinkets. Has been a Avila beach favorite for my family for a couple of decades, changed keep it relevant and relaxing.

    Order your food at the counter, then find a seat inside or out. I had the breakfast burrito with country potatoes. Served with mild salsa, I asked for Cholula, and they obliged. Delicious! I ate half before I thought to make this review. It is also a shop with many cute touristy items. I'll definitely come back.

    The view.

    Do yourself a favor and grab a hot chocolate WITH whip cream at Hula Hut today! Beautiful outside for a treat. Tip the servers. EXHALE!

    Italian Sub

    I went in today and had high hopes for their sandwiches because i've been here for ice cream and snacks before but extremely disappointed. The staff was super nice and friendly and there was no problem there but when i got the sandwich i was actually stunned that i paid for $16 for this sandwich. There was more lettuce and condiments than meat as shown in the pictures below. I'm not one to complain but this establishment should not be selling sandwiches that are $16 if they are not going to provide with an adequate proportion. My dorito chips were better than the sandwich, very disappointing and will not be coming back to this place.

    Flavors posted are frosted cupcake and olalliebery. Olalliebery is my favorite and not overly sweet. It's just a mix of berries!!

    Bill and his staff are very friendly. Baked goods and ice cream are the best. We always make it a point to stop there when in the area.

    Reliable Trail-Side Favorite with Solid Value Woodstone…read moreMarketplace is a seamless fit for any stay at Avila Village Inn, and we made it our go-to spot for breakfast and lunch during our recent visit. The location right along the Bob Jones Trail--literally steps from the inn via the paved walkway--makes it incredibly convenient: grab a coffee or meal without breaking your rhythm after a morning walk or before heading to the beach. Breakfast stands out: generous portions of fresh ingredients, with standbys like avocado toast (creamy, well-seasoned, topped with perfectly poached eggs), breakfast burritos packed with flavor, and hearty bagels or pastries that fuel a full day of activity. The coffee is strong and consistent, and the outdoor patio overlooking the trail adds a relaxed, shaded vibe--great for people-watching or just soaking in the creek-side calm. We took advantage of the 10% discount for Village Inn guests (just mention it at checkout), which makes the pricing feel even more reasonable. Lunch is equally dependable: salads, sandwiches, and hot options that lean fresh and satisfying without being fussy. Service is friendly and efficient--orders come quickly even when busy--and the market side offers grab-and-go snacks, fresh produce, and local items that are perfect for stocking up before the drive home. It's not flawless: the menu can feel a touch predictable (solid but not groundbreaking), and on peak weekend mornings the wait for made-to-order items stretches to 15-20 minutes. Ambiance is casual and functional rather than polished--think market-café hybrid, not upscale dining. Still, for what it delivers--convenient, quality food in a prime trail location with that nice discount--it's a reliable winner we'll keep returning to. Highly recommended if you're staying nearby and want breakfast or lunch without hassle. It earns its spot on every Avila itinerary.

    The Wife and I hanging out in Avila for my b-day week. I was jonesing for a breakfast burrito and…read moreWoodstone Marketplace seems to be the only place around here that opens before noon! We are here in a very quiet time, March 2026, so a bit cool and unpredictable as well as being here during the week, so many places are not on full time schedules. Anyhoo, we trek on over to Woodstone at about 7:30am, as they open at 7am. Cool place as you can see from pictures. There were a couple others in front of us and when we got to order a friendly dude took our order of two sausage breakfast burritos to go. As we waited, I checked out the kayak and canoe hanging from the rafters. Beautiful wooden works of handicraft. Would be a casual cool place to eat some grub. Shortly after my name was called and I was handed a very heavy bag that contained our breakfast. Impressive weight. We gathered some napkins, utensils and several packs of Tapatio to spice things up. We got back to our ABnB just a block back from the beach. Our intention was to sit on the porch and enjoy the view, but it was a bit windy and cool, so we headed inside. Burritos were still warm and still very heavy! As you can see from the pictures, the burrito was a dense tube of well scrambled eggs, sausage and LOTS of large chunks of potato. My preference for a perfect breakfast burrito is lighter in the potato and prefer hash browns or as a close second, tater tots. Do not give me red potatoes or I move on to the next burrito! Even with the heavier than preferred potato portion, this was a very good breakfast burrito and The Wife and I enjoyed it. The burrito was dense and big, so both myself and The Wife kept the other half to delight us the next morning. I recommend this burrito for breakfast and if I could request less potato, I would ask and pop this up to 4 stars. Go! Eat Well!! HAVE FUN!!!
