Locals Collective - Review - Arverne - New York - The Infatuation

"If you want to know where Rockaway surfers get coffee in the morning or maybe some work done with a matcha in the afternoon, it's at Locals Collective, a block from the beach in Arverne. The corner spot is owned by the Locals Surf School, so there's a lot of surfboard decor, and usually at least one toddler who's already better at ocean stuff than you'll ever be drinking a strawberry pineapple smoothie. The pastry case is full of things like peanut butter cookies and orange olive oil cake, and you can always get a breakfast burrito to eat in the sand later. Just know that the grill closes an hour before the cafe does, so if you want a wrap with grilled chicken and monterey jack, don't cut it too close. photo credit: Willa Moore" - Willa Moore
