About

Like a Swiss Army knife, the Woodstone Marketplace has multiple features jam-packed into one facility. 

This eclectic marketplace has a country market, a deli, a coffee and espresso bar, and a wine store. It also serves breakfast, lunch, and a chef-crafted nightly dinner.

With its charming craftsman-style architecture and coastal vibes, Woodstone is the ideal backdrop for strolls or bike rides since it is next to the Bob Jones City to Sea Bike Trail.

Vibe

As you approach Woodstone Marketplace, you are greeted by its caliente red color, which stands in sharp contrast to California's green landscape. While designed to look like an old-time store, this contemporary structure exudes charm and warmth and has tons of curb appeal.

Step inside, and the craftsman-style interior will remind you of the famous Avila Village Inn. A stone fireplace attracts those with hot coffee or wine who want to warm up after a chilly day at Pismo Beach Surf Academy. Glossy cherry-colored tables are in a separate area and welcome breakfast, lunch, and dinner guests. The honey-colored plank ceilings with suspended canoes and paddles add to the store's outdoorsy quality. Local artwork peppered here and there adds to one's shopping adventure.

Whether you want to indulge in fabulous food, shop local, or relax in a stunning environment, Woodstone Marketplace promises a memorable experience.

Woodstone Marketplace: Menu & Drinks

Whether you visit for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the diverse menus have something for every palate.

Early risers will find plenty to choose from to start their day, with the Breakfast Sandwich being a popular pick. The breakfast features a toasted bagel or croissant with herbed cream cheese, eggs, and Black Forest ham or smoked bacon.

Come lunchtime, healthy options abound, like salads, soups, wraps, and specialty sandwiches. Another favorite is the artisan wood-fired pizzas! These are baked in a traditional wood-fired oven for a crispy crust and an assortment of toppings for meat lovers and vegans. Seasonal ingredients offer unique combinations, like the Margherita pizza topped with local heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil, which evokes the tastes of Italy while celebrating local harvests.

Dinnertime showcases chef-created meals that change daily and feature locally sourced ingredients. Examples are the 12 oz Certified Angus prime rib with baked potato, sauteed veggies, and a salad. The menu also boasts lasagna, kabobs, and fresh seafood.

When you're ready to toast your visit to the Point San Luis Lighthouse, you'll have plenty to choose from on the beer and wine list. They also serve fresh teas, while the coffee and espresso bar serves piping hot joe.

The Woodstone Marketplace is your one-stop shopping and dining destination when vacationing at Avila Beach.
