I've been coming here a while, and I finally I tried one of their sandwiches today. It was outstanding. The focaccia bread was wonderful, and I don't tend to prefer focaccia since it's often dry. They do need a better sign since many people don't even know they're back in the alley. Nevertheless, highly recommended!

While there's all kinds of dandy baked goods you can take home, Arturo's is a great stop for an excellent breakfast that is also very reasonably priced. Don't expect haute cuisine here - it's quaint and small, down home and rustic with friendly, welcoming service. All perfect in its own way. My wife and her friend both had breakfast taco's that were filled with a bountiful array of vegetables, eggs and cheese, accompanied by a tangy green salsa. My buddy and I both had a breakfast special - house-made hash browns (mine were as ordered perfect extra-crispy) topped with onion, house made bacon, cheese and eggs. Everything was perfect, but perhaps the highlight of our brunch was the waffle that we shared - absolute perfection! Crispy on the outside, buttery and soft on the inside. It was perhaps the best waffle that I've had in 20 years and when I go back to visit our friends in Michigan City, I'll be back to Arturo's for that waffle!

Dune Billies Beach Cafe isn't technically on the beach or beachview, but it still gives off those…read morelaid-back, coastal vibes in a totally eclectic and unique way. This place is off the beaten path -- and judging by how busy it was when we visited, word has gotten out. The cafe has limited seating, so be prepared to wait during peak times. But trust me, it's worth it. The service was excellent -- friendly, fast, and super accommodating. They actually made a mistake with part of our order, but quickly remade it without hesitation and let us keep the original, which was such a kind (and delicious) surprise. The food is on the pricier side, but you're paying for quality -- everything we had tasted super fresh and thoughtfully prepared. This is definitely the kind of spot where you can tell they take pride in what they're serving. You must try the pies! Don't leave without a slice or the whole thing! If you're looking for a charming little spot that's doing its own thing away from the crowds, Dune Billies is it. We'll absolutely be back!

The Coffee Has Potential. The Attitude Does Not…read more Let me set the scene: I walked in happy, wallet open, ready to support local. Bought a latte and three greeting cards. Three. GREETING. CARDS. You know, the things you buy when you care about people? The irony was lost on whoever was behind the counter. No "thank you." No smile. Just a full serving of stanky attitude with a side of complete indifference -- and I didn't even order that. They've got 444 on the door. Angel numbers. Protection energy. Good vibes literally bolted to the building. And somehow none of it made it past the front entrance. I've given this place multiple chances because I believe in supporting local businesses. This is me believing in something for the last time. To the owner: I genuinely hope you're not the person I keep encountering behind the register. If you are -- bless your heart. If you're not -- you may want to pop in unannounced one day. Bring a secret shopper. Bring a therapist. Bring snacks. Whatever it takes. The latte was fine. The cards were cute. The experience? Starbucks doesn't have angel numbers on the door, but at least they say thank you. I'm out. Peace.

Go early to get a better selection, as pickings were slim the first day (a Thursday) when I got there around 11:30am.

Soothing music was being played.
