Java Beach Cafe Cafe ·$$

Less boisterous than the nearby Beach Chalet and more low-key than the Cliff House halfway up a hill to the north, this is a snug place to sip some java and warm up after a stroll on always windy, usually chilly Ocean Beach. The decor has an appropriately nautical air, perfect for the avid surfers who make this their post-ride hangout. The food, served up by personable types who seem to be surfers themselves when off duty, is the usual mix of sandwiches, soups and pastries, all tasty, none expensive. It is a great place to take a break and enjoy the view of a horizon that goes on forever.

Good bagel. Good coffee. Very noisy due to coffee equipment, and people yelling to be heard over it. There was a man who bellowed and yelled. Constantly! Maybe he is deaf, I don't know. He made...

Our best beachside café! I shared a small table with the pleasantly ubiquitous young man. Immerse in his laptop and with headphones on, he actually invited me to share his table. His beverage came...
