Avila Beach Market

Avila Market Restaurant & Mercantile, situated in the heart of Avila Beach on Front Street. It's a convenient one-stop shop offering a wide range of options including drinks, snacks, groceries, delicious meals, and even those forgotten last-minute beach essentials. Don't miss out on their superb acacia bowls located downstairs.

Great market! The location is perfect and they have a great selection of beverages and snacks. Their açaí bowls and sandos are out of this world, and it's so convenient to walk off the beach, grab a cold beverage, and hit the beach again in minutes. I highly recommend a visit.

Enjoyed a delicious "Avila Burger"
Extremely tasty and juicy!

The food was alright. American cheese was not as good as cheddar and the English muffin was not toasted, but the chilequiles bowls were good. They made a mistake and added an extra item to our order. They refunded it but they did not let us keep the extra item, even though the confusion disrupted our breakfast. Mistakes happen, but they should have made it right with is by letting us keep the extra item since it was their mistake.

Someone save this place.
At one time this was a destination location to eat and socialize, but I have to say it’s fallen.
From the frozen bowls which can’t compete with KRAVA BOWL in any fashion, to the frozen chicken patty being falsely marketed as “fried chicken “ in their Nashville chicken sandwich. It’s a slap in the face.
The menu needs a massive revamp! And they need to hire a business person to come in and assist with the direction, and FAST.

This was their “loaded fries”
Guys- no salt in the fries and no seasoning in your aoli! It’s just sour cream. I know bacon costs, but brush! For $14 you’re making a killing ripping people off here. I’m just gonna go to mission pizza from now on and people should follow.
I’ve been coming to Avila for over 15 plus years and can’t believe this has happened to this place.

This was our favorite place to stop, it had a little bit of everything. It’s so bare bones now. Two employees running the entire shop, one had to go on break, one employee to run everything by themselves, no sign of the kitchen staff even though online it says kitchen is open from 8 to 5 today. They said the kitchen would be open at 11:30 so we were waiting, then after 30 minutes still no sign of kitchen staff and I heard him tell another customer 30 more minutes so we left. The employees were friendly and nice; not their fault. Very disappointing to see what’s happened to our favorite place.

Store does not display price tags on grocery and food items, which violates California retail pricing laws. Actual prices at this store, of course, are a complete ripoff. Avoid if at all possible.

It took 40 minutes to pay for a couple of sodas. I waited... patiently... When I finally made it to the register I was told I "could" go to another line. I'll pay here, thank you. The card machine then asks if you'd like to leave a tip... No thanks!

We stopped in to buy water. A gallon of Crystal Geyser water had a 500% markup so a bottle you usually buy for $1.00 cost $5.00 plus tax. We figured there would be a markup and still made the purchase. As we were walking out of the store, a woman sitting at the back of the store, asked us if we had been helped because she didn’t see us pay for the water. My husband and I are 50 something’s visiting the area and we wouldn’t walk out without paying for something. I didn’t quite hear what she was saying as I was walking out of the business and had I heard what she was asking, I would’ve left the water and asked for my money back.
