We LOVE Shaka Taco! Just a couple blocks away (across from Daddy Mac's), Shaka Taco offers outdoor only seating and great food! They supplied us with chicken and pork during the pandemic when there was a shortage on food and they couldn't be open. The line is usually long, but the wait is worth it in our opinion!

Love doughnuts?! You must try Fractured Prune! Lighter than Dunkin' Donuts, but "cakier" than Krispy Kreme. We LOVE this place and ride our bikes for a special treat. Make sure you take the tricycle, which we've dubbed "the doughnut bike" to bring back your box(es)!
