Coffee shop · Rockaway Park

"Googling “washed up Rockaway” will turn up all sorts of local tragedies, from beached whales to discovered human remains. One bright spot: This boardwalk cafe by 97th Street. The owners used to run a juice stand called La Fruteria. They rebranded last year and added a breakfast burrito to the menu. After a day at the beach, it’s exactly what you want: crisp bacon, processed cheese, and smashed tater tots for texture." - Eater Staff
