Much beloved by knowing locals and vacationers, this Montauk standby is both a beach-wear boutique and a quaint breakfast and lunch cafe. Whether you eat indoors or on the patio outdoors, you can enjoy delicious omelets, pancakes and sandwiches, served by a staff who cares.
Orange juice is freshly squeezed. Try the Spanish frittata, which comes with a zesty salsa, or the garden omelet with mixed vegetables. Thick slabs of French toast are infused with cinnamon. Pancakes are light and satisfying.
You might want to buy a straw hat, a pair of shades, or even a bathing suit on your way out.
