Best Hidden Cafe — Stratford Court Café

Situated in a 1900’s Cape-Cod style home, Stratford Court Café offers a quiet and relaxed atmosphere off the beaten path.  Just turn west on 13th street, away from Camino Del Mar, and you’ll stumble upon this “hidden café.” With an open and airy ambience, and a dog-friendly patio, Stratford Court Café is the perfect place for a casual brunch or to catch up with a coffee date.
