Here’s how to turn a simple morning or afternoon into a mini adventure!
Vintage Coffee Café
Cozy Morning Treats & a Vintage Truck to Play On
When you step into Vintage Coffee Café, it feels like walking into a breezy beach cottage. It’s bright, comfy, and perfect for starting your day with breakfast, brunch, or a quiet coffee break while the kids play.
“I ordered their seasonal gingerbread latte and it was delicious without being overly sweet — the perfect drink for a chilly morning.”
Some yummy options you might try:
- Avocado toast with their house-made tomato-onion marmalade
- Fresh açai bowl — fruity, bright, and kid-friendly
- Homemade pastries — warm, soft, and totally snack-worthy
The Truck Playground: Where Kids Play All Day
Here’s what makes this spot magical: out back, there’s a real vintage truck turned into a play structure. It’s part jungle gym, part imagination station — and 100% kid-approved.
“THIS! This is what makes this place so magical and fun. My kids adore Vintage because of the truck play area.”
While you sip your latte, your kids can slide, climb, and explore. It’s a chill, family-friendly setup that gives everyone a little something to enjoy.
Coastal Crust
Wood-Fired Pizza in a Family-Friendly Backyard
Just a few steps away, you’ll find Coastal Crust, serving up hand-stretched, wood-fired pizzas in the same relaxed courtyard space.
Their pizzas are:
Unique flavors for grown-up taste buds (fig and prosciutto, anyone?)
Freshly made and cooked in a piping-hot wood-fired oven
Kid-approved classics like cheese and pepperoni
What makes Coastal Crust stand out is the shared space with Vintage Coffee. Families can grab a table outside, let the kids roam safely, and mix and match food from both spots.
“A few weeks ago when we had family in town we spent the afternoon at Coastal Crust. We ordered a beer, the Fig and Prosciutto pizza along with their apple and pancetta salad and it was the perfect meal matching the best afternoon. The kids played for two hours, paused to eat their pepperoni and cheese pizza, and then cried when we had to leave.”
Coastal Creamery
Sweet Treats to Top Off Your Visit
After pizza, what’s better than ice cream? Right next door is Coastal Creamery, where you can grab:
- Ice cream in homemade waffle cones or bowls
- Milkshakes and floats — extra fun for kids
- Build-your-own candy bags — if your kids love to mix and match
This little shop is the perfect way to wrap up your visit on a (sweet) high note.
