Recommended Cafes,                                                  

Well I don't know about you but I love a great cafe.  A place where I can relax...meet new people, and delight in a yummy drink.  Personally I have found the Steaming Bean to have the very best Chai Teas on the planet.  They put a mountain of whip cream on top of it as well as caramel!  I get the vanilla one.  And so if your in the area of Shell Beach, and you love a relaxing yet artsy meets surfer gypsy environment this is certainly worth a try!
