The Original Park Pantry

gay friendly and not corporate. Great place if you are a tourist and want to soak up some local color. Food is pretty good, not great, but the atmosphere and down to earth folks make it a good experience.

The restraint itself is nothing special, sort of like a down graded French Market. The food is average, and so are the people. If not for the gay crowd mixed in with the blue hairs, I would probably skip this place all together. This is not however a gay establishment. They are gay friendly. The waitresses put on a "girlfriend" attitude for bigger tips if you look gay but is just a bit phony. I wish they would come out already.

the food her is very good,you may consider it an upscale coffee shop, agreat place to socialize with neighborhood folk,you can go ther for a sunrise breakfeast,or a sunset dinner,best part of this place it is a two minute walk to the ocean to se either the sunrise or sunset located across from bixby park ,locals call it cherry park,because of it's location. try not to leave without some of their fresh baked goodies!
