In-Depth Information
Coconuts are unlikely near blustery Ocean Beach, but here comes Trouble with the 'Build
Your Own Damn House' $8 breakfast special: coffee, cinnamon-laced toast, and an entire
young coconut. Wetsuited surfers loiter on the driftwood bench, while alt-rockers recover
with house-roasted 'The Hammer' espresso at the reclaimed wood counter.

BAR
Island getaways in rattan booths at this vintage tiki lounge will cure that Ocean Beach
chill. You won't find beer on tap, but you may discover an ice-cream island in your minty
Grasshopper cocktail. Classic-kitsch-lovers order the Hurricane, which comes with two
straws to share for a reason: drink it by yourself and it'll blow you away.
