It's a beautiful summer day in L.A.

You're at the beach, you've got a prime spot, the water is warm and there's an abundance of babes in bikinis playing beach volleyball. Life is good.

Suddenly, disaster strikes- you're hungry and you've just realized you have completely forgotten to pack breakfast and lunch along with your brews. You're forced to make the decision of starving or having to give up your prime spot in order to go grab some grub. Lucky for you there's now a third option that blows the first two out of the water: Dudley Market.

Dudley Market is the newest café to open right next to the beach, making it perfect for all of your munching needs. Have a seat and watch the waves while enjoying lunch specialties like Croque Madame, Avocado French Toast or a Friend Chicken Sandwhich, or if you're anxious to get back to working on that tan, they've also got a 'grab-n-go' option. Or if you need a little break from the sun you can sit down and enjoy it all with a glass of wine or a milkshake too.

Crisis averted.

So go grab a sammie from Dudley's and get back to refereeing that volleyball game. Those girls need you.
