Is there real food on the island?
If you are at Moto Guild all day we do have snacks available for $1 each, but if you need something more substantial and forgot to pack a lunch there is great food available very close by.

• Island Cove Market has reasonably priced groceries and makes great sandwiches.  Their falafel is especially fantastic and not very expensive, either!  They also have an online menu so you can order ahead
• Aracely Cafe is a very pretty sit down restaurant that has great food and espresso drinks, and also has the option to order ahead
• Mersea has food and espresso that is just as great as Aracely.  They do not have the option to order ahead, but since they have such an incredible view of S.F. you really should sit and eat there, anyhow- just remember, even if you have a monthly pass make sure to adjust your reservation online and to take your bike off of the station beforehand so the station is available, even if you have a monthly pass!

Can I copy your website content?
NO!
