    View of Avila Beach
    Sydney S.

    One of the best views I've ever enjoyed with a cup of coffee. This spot has become a must-visit every time I'm near Avila Beach. You get beautiful ocean views, easy beach access, and solid coffee. The interior is rustic and cozy, and there's an upstairs seating area if the ocean breeze isn't your thing. They offer a nice variety of coffees and pastries, and the servers are incredibly kind and happy to make recommendations. I went with my classic iced vanilla latte. The ice can make it a bit watery over time, but honestly, I don't mind too much. Afterward, you can lounge by the beach, listen to the waves, and sip your drink. You really can't beat that. There are also plenty of nearby shops to explore, making the whole area feel lively yet peaceful. It's a truly scenic spot that I'd absolutely recommend taking the time to enjoy.

    Delicious coffeee

    Great spot to grab a good cup of coffee and walk across the street for a fantastic view. The fresh pastries were delicious and a perfect accompaniment to my coffee. Perfect way to start the morning

    Been coming here for years. The staff are always pleasant & welcoming & the coffee is always on point. Quiet place to hang out & enjoy the scenery.

    Such a hidden gem near the coastal beach! The view is absolutely breathtaking and perfect for a leisurely coffee-in-hand stroll! The way the sunlight dances on the water creates a mesmerizing panorama that changes throughout the day. The gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore provides a soothing soundtrack to complement the stunning scenery.

    Decent coffee, it's a cute location and I like that they have a little upstairs work area. It was a really hot day and I got an iced mocha to go. It wasn't super flavorful or strong, I'd recommend trying double shot espresso in it.

    Vanilla matcha
    Chiquita G.

    Cute little coffee shop within walking distance from the beach. They have a tiny spot upstairs to sit and a couple seats out in front of the shop. I like that they have stickers, necklaces, shirts and other merchandise to purchase. So why your waiting for your drink there is plenty of things to browse. I ordered a vanilla matcha. It was delicious but I didn't taste too much vanilla.

    Mexican mocha
    Heather H.

    This spot is right next to the beach so it's such a nice place to grab coffee for a beach walk. Parking is relatively easy on the sidewalk. When we went there wasn't a line. Got the Mexican mocha which had a warming spices in it! I enjoyed it overall.

    The best mocha I've ever had - especially since it comes with an ocean view. The staff are so friendly and their drinks come out fast. I loved the artwork and the gifts they had for sale. I even picked up a new book for my friend while there. Love this coffee shop!

    Roobis hot tea
    Dani O.

    Great coffee cafe right next to the beach. Today it was a rainy day so perfect for a hot Roobis tea and a beach view from inside. The place has lots to choose from and great bakery items. Friendly service.

    Lavender latte $7 and macchiato $5
    Pauline M.

    Best lavender latte I have ever had. A bit pricy at $7. Macchiato was $5. Staff was friendly.

    Dave M.

    Great coffee near the best stretch of sand in California. Quick service and fantastic views. The pastries are fresh and delicious, too.

    Strawberry and lavender Matcha

    Right at the corner of the main street right in front of the beach perfect pitstop for a coffee and snacks

    The Perfect Sweet Finale Every Time Hula Hut is hands-down…read moreone of the standout gems on Avila Beach's Front Street, and we make it a ritual to end every evening here during our stays at Avila Village Inn. It's not just ice cream--it's the ideal punctuation to a day of trail walking, hot tubs, beach lounging, and good meals. The hand-scooped ice cream from Doc Burnstein's is exceptional: creamy, dense, and packed with real flavor without being overly sweet. Their seasonal and local-inspired options (think fresh strawberry when in season, or the rich chocolate peanut butter that feels indulgent yet balanced) never disappoint. We've tried classics like vanilla bean and mint chip, and they're executed with precision--perfect texture, generous scoops, and cones that hold up without crumbling. What elevates it to five stars is the whole experience: the cheerful, unpretentious service (quick even on busy summer evenings), the outdoor benches with direct ocean views, and the way it fits so naturally into the rhythm of Avila. After pizza at Mission or seafood at Custom House, walking the short distance for a double scoop under the string lights feels effortless and rewarding. Portions are satisfying without being overwhelming, prices are fair for the quality, and they offer non-dairy options that actually taste great. We've hit Hula Hut multiple times per trip--once after the Bob Jones Trail soak, again post-beach--and it never fails to deliver that quiet moment of pure contentment as the waves roll in and the day winds down. If you're in Avila Beach and appreciate a dessert that feels thoughtful rather than gimmicky, this is the spot. We'll keep returning, and it's earned its permanent place on our itinerary. Highly recommended--make it your evening closer. You won't regret it.

    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.

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!!!
