    Cute little coffee shop located in Pacific Beach. There's not much out here but this place is always open in the morning to make my venti soy latte. The barista was so kind and friendly. They have a cool retro all in one video game machine that I used to pass the couple minutes we were waiting while others were getting their drink orders. The bathroom is pretty cool. It looks like a British telephone booth.

    Apparently many eateries close up after the summer season. We happened to stop in during the Christmas holidays and found this restaurant mostly closed up. Still, there were a few tables available for dining. Our table had a view of the surf perhaps a few blocks away. The abiane here is artsy. Knotty pine walls and ceiling, with plywood floors. A calming vibe resides here. Ready for breakfast, we ordered a breakfast burrito and a breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was $8. With a couple bottled juices and a 24 oz. hot tea, the total came to $30 and change. I added a 20% cash tip. Kinda pricey for what I got, but there aren't too many places to eat near my lodging this time of year. For this resort area on the coast, I can't imagine the prices are much different during the tourist season.

    My remote working office in PB. Cozy table for one near the window, with convenient outlet (and tasty latte).

    Well made coffee, good food options, steady/decent bandwidth/free wifi, and friendly service. I've made it my go-to remote working office, the few times I've needed to work while traveling through PB, and I'm always greeted with a friendly smile, a good cup of coffee, and a comfortable private table with an outlet for my laptop.

    Service wasn't very fast but I blame the two customers ahead of me (asking for their drinks to be remade because the customers forgot to ask for modifications). Barista working was not friendly and seemed annoyed we ordered breakfast sandwiches. No employees or customers were wearing masks. You could see a used mask sitting on the back room counter where they prepare food. Barista also used her bare hands to grab our food and assemble the breakfast sandwiches. Not once in the 30 minutes we were there did I see her wash her hands. The ultimate thing for me was this hair/pube stuck to the side of my cup. My drink was average, milk wasn't aerated well and the espresso tasted weak for having an extra shot.

    Seriously?!

    I just waited an hour for this breakfast burrito. Everyone seemed to be late. I showed up at 7:45, they open at 7. Extremely disappointed and frustrated at wasting so much time. Won't be coming back.

    Good coffee in a place with few options. Food is ok but so worth it given the locale. Enjoy!

    Great service, good coffee, and some killer ham and cheese croissants! :-) Will be back when we are in the area.

    Cute little coffee joint within walking distance from the beach and great, fast service! :) Highly recommend the "spicy" hot chai tea latte.

    The coffee was great, the kids had hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls on one visit and ice cream on the next.

    Sweet Life is exactly the kind of charming, old-fashioned ice cream and candy shop you hope to…read morestumble across in a beach town like Seabrook. The vibe inside is nostalgic and fun, but the absolute star of the show is their small-batch ice cream. I ordered the Salted Dulce de Leche, and it was hands-down some of the best ice cream I've had in a while. The texture was rich, creamy, and smooth--exactly what you want from high-quality, locally sourced ice cream. But the flavor is what really blew me away. It had a deep, caramelized, buttery sweetness from the dulce de leche, perfectly offset by just the right amount of sea salt to keep it from being overwhelmingly sugary. Every bite was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Getting a scoop (or two!) of this and sitting on your balcony watching the waves roll in is the quintessential Seabrook experience. The staff was super friendly and let us sample a few flavors, but the Salted Dulce de Leche is the undisputed winner. Do not skip this place! Worth the calories!

    The ice cream here is absolutely delicious. Their banana cream pie is my favorite. It's made with…read morereal bananas and tastes so fresh. The candy shop part of the store is fun. There is a nice assortment of candies and at the front by the register they have chocolates that you can purchase. The only downside is the inconsistent offering of samples. When we came in yesterday, they were offering 2 samples for customers. Today when we went in, they said they weren't offering any samples.
