After what was easily the BEST restaurant Morro Bay has ever had, it was a bit of a let-down, with lackluster pies, no winelist to speak of, and a bare-bones dining room and ambiance. Pita puffy and soft, a brilliant toast on it, dolmas red inside and weedy with the grape leaves they sell over the counter for home-cooks and tabbouleh crisp and mild, thick with parsley.Īfter a decade-long hiatus from Shawn’s on Main, I visited Surfside Pizza. I rolled the beef shawarma loosely and bit deeply into the curry-infused meat and raw white onion goodness, slathered thick with grainy, pungent hummus, drizzled with olive oil and smeared with chili paste. Far better than many of the also-ran staples of Halal around the county, everything shows vibrantly with hand-made care and genuine enthusiasm.

Gooseberries, basil, fresh farm eggs, mangos and papayas, oranges, garlic, potatoes, and berries, lots and lots of berries. It’s a small shop, but stacked high inside and out with layers and layers of fresh offerings. You don’t often see brick & mortar shops dedicated to fruit and vegetables.
