For folks who like coffee on the lighter side. Nice people. Check to see if they are working during the pandemic, their hours are odd. No place to sit - it's truly a drive-up. If you're staying with us in December, there is often a holiday tree lot next door owned by the family. Give it a look!

Always a line to get in, and always large, fresh portions, especially if Mr Toyoda has extra fish left from a previous order at the bar - he'll slide it over to you with a grin if he recognizes you as a first-timer. *call ahead during COVID restrictions, the place is small and they close randomly for vacations and holidays.

A cathartic walk to begin your day in a safe environment. Two blocks away headed west on foot is the entrance to a tree-lined path of the park. Follow the small trail into an open space. Cross the space then turn left on the gravel path. Take a right on the path just after the stream (pictured). Follow the trail to a 1950s tractor with an old cedar growing through the middle with a surplus jeep engine. 2000 steps. Stop to read the poetry at the stations in the park.
