Food scene

This place was ranked as one of the top ice cream shops in the country! They use a homemade soft serve ice cream to create their signature 'squiggly'. You can add so many different things to your squiggly but my favorite is their 'thin mint'. It tastes just like the girl scout cookie. Here is Marlyn herself enjoying some ice cream!

This place has some of the freshest tacos around. It is a super casual place...you can come as you are! They don't take reservations and are first come, first serve. My favorite taco is called the 'pesky' with fried mahi mahi :)

This is the cutest breakfast spot on the island and feels like a blast from the past. They have tons of different pancakes, but my favorite is the sweet potato ones.
