Great coffee, warm local energy, and a peach date muffin worth rearranging breakfast for. Then there are the pies, made with local apples and tasting exactly like you hope a small town pie should. By day two, it wasn't a coffee stop anymore, it is a necessity. Some places serve coffee and goodies. Trinks becomes part of the trip.

This will mean that when you get to Bodega Bay a little down the coast you will be too not hungry to stop at The Birds cafe so consider that in your plans because this lovely cafe is not far from Bodega Bay and that is where Hitchcock made The Birds so do you want a Lake view or to view the pier where Tippi Hedren got out of the boat while you have lunch?Only you know. It's hard because the crab and egg on toast would be hard to match but if you are into film locations..you are going to have to choose folks...does a lake view trump an iconic film location? I only had the Aquatica experience and it was a good one.

Live music on Fridays!…read more Met up with some friends for burger night at Shindig. We arrived a little after 6:00 pm and the place was already packed! I queued up to order and was fortunate enough to snag the last burger of the evening. Ended up making friends with other diners who shared their table space until the early arrivals began to clear out. Made me so happy to see such a sweet community space thriving! The food, ambience and musical performances were everything you would hope for at a local wine bar. Definitely a fun way to spend your Friday night in Sea Ranch!

Cute and hip coffee spot located in the micro town of Duncans Mills. Don't blink or you'll miss it!…read more Gold Coast Coffee does its own roasting and baking. There were loads of day-old treats and fresh pastries to choose from, along with their tasty drink menu. The inside has plenty of seating, and there is a patio too. The service was a bit iffy. The employees were young and a bit short, hwoever they were also busy, so I am sure that played a part in their reaction to our several questions about the menu. We tried a smoothie, iced tea, Italian soda, and some cookies. Everything was great! This place is a hidden gem like the rest of Duncans Mills. I highly recommend stopping by to support this place as well as all of the other small businesses in Duncans Mills.

Ordering lunch food is fast in a takeout fashion, coffee and sweets are in the cafe itself. We had a tasty maple walnut fudge. There was a bit of confusion on whether it was a for here or take out order, they packed it up fast for us when they realized it was not for here. The food is pretty good quality and pretty standard prices around here - we had the shrimp sandwiches which were fresh and delicious, kids had corn dogs and loved them. The cafe is close to Doran beach so great for a takeout picnic , but also has outdoor seating in a nice garden patio setting. Dog friendly and will provide dishes for water if you ask. Recommend!
