Food Scene

No frills, no seating, but they serve the best tasting coffee around. It's clean-grown and fairly-traded, too!

Best local place for seafood (in our humble opinion). Make a reservation or get there early, because the space is tiny and the lines get long.

New(ish), local family-owned breakfast and lunch place just down the street with great homestyle American and Pacific islander dishes. Loved the chicken and waffles, breakfast burrito, and egg benedicts.

Entertainment & Activities

One of the best aquariums in the world. Go, even if you don't like fish. Be sure to catch the otter and penguin feeding and at least one of the shows/talks (Luna: A Sea Otter's Story is a personal favorite).
