Old Town Coffee, I come here every Saturday. Wonderful place to work on state street as Dune closes early.

Three local businesses in one store. You can study, chat, work, eat, or chill - they have coffee, food, beer, and dessert!

Cool vibe and tasty food. Signature drink that I got (coffee with cinnamon and honey) was delicious too.

I felt like I needed to review because I couldn’t find any reviews about vegan or dairy free options, nor could I find any menu online. So YES! They have vegan options, including the waffles!! But they do stop serving the waffles at 5PM. So I will have to be back tomorrow. Thoroughly enjoying my iced blueberry matcha oat latte tonight though. ETA: I went back for the waffle. It was heaven.

I had the BEST gluten-free waffle with egg, bacon and arugula here! Delicious! And they serve their tea by the pot, which is hard to find in SB. A jewel of a little place!

Shared space serving coffee, waffles, and alcohol. Great service and ample seating whether you want to relax by the back courtyard area or people watch by the main state entrance.

Cute little place. Staff is very kind. We found our avocado to be raw and they replaced it no questions asked! Good service, good vibes and great food!

Draughtsman is one of my favorite spots in town for craft beers. Old Town Coffee has amazing pastries. I don't drink coffee myself, but they are my SO's favorite for that. Goodland waffles has impressed me every time I go. They are superb, especially their fruit waffles (I have a sweet tooth). The staff at Old Town, Draughtsman and Goodland have always been helpful and friendly. Its a laid back atmosphere, perfect for relaxing.
