With the forecast calling for rain, here are our picks for the best cozy spots to hide out and read a good book around town.
- . Grab a cup of coffee from Luis' coffee shop out front. Then grab your book or magazine and hideaway behind a bookshelf or sit along Orange Avenue and enjoy the rain under the awnings.
- . In the absence of the famous Alphabet Room, grab a hot chocolate or coffee and have a seat at this bar. It is always a warm and festive place to retreat and relax for a good read.
- . If the rain brings you cabin fever, 1134 will cure you. Reading at the bar is noisy, but fun. Head upstairs for solitude.
- . Grab your book and a booth in the back, then order a burger and shake. This longtime Coronado classic will brighten your rainy day.
- . This little bistro is tucked away from the main drag and serves great coffee and crepes.
