Benicia residents, Monica, and her partner, Ryan, completely renovated the former Java Point/Adarna space, with expert carpentry help from within the family. The beautifully designed wood tables from our local Teak Man draw you in, with lovely art and lots of green indoor foliage—there’s even a children’s corner. Monica’s Italian heritage and former restaurant ownership shine through. Ryan’s stellar design skills succeed—it feels peaceful and happy. It all started with that Mangia Squared food (pizza) truck!
Don’t miss the latest addition to Benicia’s dining scene. Indoor/outdoor seating. Open 7 am to 4 pm daily; later on Thursdays for Farmers Market.

Brown’s narration of hip surfer-speak, is kooky and entertaining. The groovy ‘60s music by The Sandals sets the tone. As Roger Ebert says (Ebert, the actual movie critic who was alive then), “there is a peculiar charm to this uncomplicated film, designed only to please.” And to share some surfing love. Watching these surfers grab their swim trunks and board wax and head out—simply in search of a good “ride”—gives us room for relaxation. Soon, you might find yourself drawn to that rhythmic ocean magic—you might even be inspired to “catch a wave.”
Trivia Tip: Bruce Brown, who passed away in 2017, was hailed as “the Bergman of the boards” and the “Fellini of the foam.” A bronze memorial statue of him with his camera is located on the Pacific Coast Highway in Dana Point, California.
