Love the coffee at Duza's and their baked goods. Each meal is made to order and if you want, you can watch the chef create his magic. Fresh ingredients are a given. Outdoor seating is available all year round.

It is hard to describe Sunshine Market to someone who does not live in Coronado. This little market has just about everything you might need and is way more convenient than Safeway. We love this Coronado cornerstone. The owners are kind and funny. Need Ben and Jerrys or a lime or garlic powder or a Coke? They have such a selection of last minute things.
