"Locals Collective is where the Rockaway surfers get coffee in the morning. It's a block from the beach in Arverne, and owned by the Locals Surf School. As such, expect surf decor and 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, in case you’d like a breakfast burrito in the sand, there’s also a short menu of hot food." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
