"Landing just blocks from the beach, I discovered a lovingly restored craftsman bungalow at Cass and Felspar that now houses a cafe, espresso bar, and market with a feel-good menu ranging from breakfast bowls, toasts, and smoothies (served all day) to healthy wraps and salads. An extension of Blueys Cafe & Market, run by Sabrina and Dave Harper, the space is intended to be a personal, community gathering spot with a surrounding garden for refueling and relaxing after a beach session; the owners plan swim and surfing clubs and partner Danny Way will host weekly skate meet-ups. The extensive espresso menu includes the Aussie flat white and will feature Amigo Roasters (whose beans are farm-roasted in El Salvador and who work on making the coffee supply chain more equitable and sustainable). Palmys will start operating 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. with plans to extend hours, add a dinner menu including sourdough pizzas, and occasionally offer alcohol for weekend brunches and special film and music events; the re-done outdoor patio is a highlighted part of the project." - Candice Woo
