This beachfront property makes the most use of its prime location on the Boardwalk by serving primarily as a cafe in the daylight hours and a wine bar at night. It's rustic-meets-modern in a youthful fashion, with large, glass-topped tables juxtaposed with bare wood accents and and copper-hued metal fixtures. Behind the counter, blackboards announce the establishment's offerings in colorful chalk, with the left blackboard listing coffee and cafe items while the right provides a litany of wines in stock and their prices by bottle or glass. Coffee drinks all have punny names like Brewtiful Morning, You Mocha Me Happy, and Al Cappuccino. Wine tastings are also offered and the bar can be reserved for private tastings for groups of up to 20 people.
