Wanda's Cafe + Bakery is a woman-founded, family-run restaurant that opened in 1999. This special spot is popular with locals and tourists alike.

You'll find just about every sandwich and salad you can think of on the menu. A few of my favorites are the turkey club, Greek salad, and French dip. The salad dressings are especially fabulous.

Everything is made from scratch and the resulting dishes are the epitome of coastal comfort food.

Breakfast items also abound, from omelets and scrambles to waffles, French toast, and eggs Benedict.

Breakfast is served all day!

The adorable back room seating area feels like dining in a greenery-filled sun porch, which also has some good ventilation for fresh air.

On summer or holiday weekends, expect a wait for a table. On off-peak times, you'll be able to sit right away. You can also get food and bakery items to-go.

You can't go wrong with any of the pastry, bread, cookies, or other sweet treats at Wanda's Cafe + Bakery!

The friendly servers add to this spot's allure.

Coffee drinks are also top-notch.

I'm a big fan of Wanda's Cafe + Bakery's delicious cinnamon rolls and bars.
