This little shop is one of Catalina's most endearing oddities. Is it a coffee shop? Sundries shop, wine shop, gelato bar, magazine stand... sushi restaurant? Luckily for Avalon residents (and visitors), it's all of these things rolled into one. Grab an espresso or a cup of Italian ice cream, then shop for a perfect bottle of wine or some sweet-smelling hand creme with SPF. Or, if you've had one too many buffalo burgers, sit down for a light lunch of salad or sashimi—it's actually pretty good.
