Donut Hole Bakery Cafe
635 Harbor BlvdGreat breakfast place. Beware, can be long lines!
Surprisingly good Italian restaurant. And we only say surprising because you don't come to the beach expecting great Italian food. But it really is very good. Great ambiance too.

Good beer selection and no fryers in the house. That's right, the wings and even the fries are baked - with no loss in flavor!

This is more of a 'hole in the wall' breakfast place, but when everywhere else has 30-45 minute waits, this place usually gets you in pretty quickly.
The decor isn't appealing, but the food is solid. They also have a make your own Bloody Mary bar.
