Island Threadz
For the price on authentic shirts and hats especially on the island! $28-$30 a pop! Fair good price, I expected about $50-$60! And along a souvenir bag with it! My woman got me the alcohol flask with the Catalina island logo on it! Freaking awesome!!! ~bearded
Scoops Homemade Ice Cream
Visited this place every day during our recent stay at Catalina Island. Scoops has the BEST home made ice cream on this island. I saw signs about their French Brioche and had to try that. If you do trust me you wont be disappointed. I ordered the French Brioche with a scoop of Triple Chocolate and frozen strawberries + Oreo crumbles + chocolate syrup and this was the best thing I ever had. It was delicious. I still crave for it and cant find it anywhere I live in WA. This place can have a long wait time so be prepared if you plan to grab one before boarding your ferry. The staff is friendly and there is a Starbucks in the same spot if you want to grab some coffee with your ice cream. All in all I loved their French brioche and would highly recommend this place for anyone who visits Catalina. ~Jane
Katie's Kitchen
Great little take out spot( there is tables out front). Good size portions. Meals are prepared when ordered. Katie s combo is tasty beef/chicken/shrimp. Yummy ~Todd
Catalina Divers Supply
Jeff, Mark, Jarred, and Bob made this an absolutely great experience. This is a top notch group of guys who go the distance to help you enjoy your adventure. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and truly WANT you to have fun. They educate you on how to use the equipment and make safety paramount. The views above and below the water line are second to none. Unfortunately we live in the mid west and now have the snorkeling bug. Great job guys, we cant recommend you enough. Hopefully we'll see you again next year. ~Pstl762
Pancake Cottage
Popular spot that can get busy really quick. Wait time for a table of 2 was about 20 minutes. No wait at the bar but is first come first serve. Employees are friendly. We sat at the bar. The seating was a little tight so it's a challenge to get around people but once you get seated your good. Food took about 10-15 minutes to get. Decent portions for the price. I would definitely frequent this spot. ~annette
Catalina Bath & Body
The shop was super cute and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I purchased the Avalon Angel body spray. It smells super fresh and it has a long lasting scent. It is a perfect scent for both men and woman. I wish they had an online store for me to purchase more products after my visit. But I guess Ill just have to book another trip to Catalina just to get this wonderful scent! ~Cyruss
Cafe Metropole
They have a wide array of options for carnivores and vegans. The prices are bit high but they do give you a fair portion size for the food given. I got the cold tuna salad sandwich and muenster cheese with sweet potato fries and the pb n a smoothie. Everything was fresh and authentic and all the flavors blended well on my palate the perfect summer combo that met my diet goals. Close to the beach waterfront. Definitely my favorite breakfast spot on the island. Total bill was $29 ~Shaniece
