"With its tiled floor, mismatched china, and vintage lighting, Cardinal feels like a Brooklyn all-day café that decamped to the beach. The menu features a few mainstays like cacio e pepe scrambled eggs and a veggie-packed New Mexico bowl, along with specials like the recent “Kim-cheesesteak” that — you guessed it — builds Korean flavors into a cheesesteak. Don’t forget to order a xuixo, the cream-filled Spanish pastry that’s drawn a cult following." - Marion Brewer
