Montezuma


A cozy feeling permeates this restaurant and bakery on the beach road, which in 2019 was repainted in a cheerful yellow by its new owner. The terrace seating is lovely, and the menu features breakfast items like bagels and banana bread, along with lunch and dinner dishes including burgers, pizzas, tacos, burritos, salads and poke bowls. The coffee's good, too.
