Caffè & Market

House-made gelato in up to ten flavours is the standout at Pelican Hill's oceanfront café-market, with Italian espresso and artisan sandwiches either side of it.

Italian coffee, market food and gelato under one roof

Caffè & Market combines a resort café with a compact market selection, built around a gourmet-meets-on-the-go idea rather than a formal dining room or a destination tasting counter. Barista-made authentic Italian coffee drinks anchor the beverage side, giving the venue an espresso-centred identity for morning and daytime visits.

The food side is built from freshly prepared artisan sandwiches, fresh-baked pastries, cheeses, and house-made gelato rather than a long full-service menu. Gelato is the clearest signature, offered in up to ten flavours. The market element matters too: cheeses, pastries, and sandwiches make the counter useful for assembling a casual meal, a snack, or provisions to carry elsewhere on the property.

A casual resort café and market

Caffè & Market is part café, part market, and part Pelican Hill amenity, designed for guests who want quality food without a longer seated restaurant experience. Mobility is designed in: items can be taken back to a Bungalow or Villa, packed for a beach picnic, brought on a harbour cruise, or eaten at the indoor and outdoor café tables.

That structure shapes the visit. The counter supports a quick coffee stop, a casual lunch around an artisan sandwich, a pastry break, or a gelato run. Wine, Champagne, and beer extend the offer beyond a standard coffee counter, suiting a relaxed resort afternoon as well as a morning espresso. Its oceanfront setting inside Pelican Hill's guest circulation makes it a convenient, quality-focused provisioning point for resort life rather than a neighbourhood café.

Order the gelato if the case is calling

Start with the house-made gelato if you want the most distinctive item. With up to ten flavours in the case, it is the category the venue leans on hardest. For coffee, order the barista-made Italian drinks, especially with a fresh-baked pastry. That pairing captures the café side without requiring a larger meal.

For something more substantial, choose the freshly prepared artisan sandwiches. Add cheese to lean into the market side, or pair lunch with wine, Champagne, or beer when the visit is more leisurely. The practical read: Italian coffee and a pastry for a café stop, sandwiches and cheeses for a portable meal, and house-made gelato when the sweet finish is the point.
