Price: $6.60
I have a soft spot for hole-in-the-wall restaurants, especially ones tucked away deep in Camberville’s mazelike streets. My excellent experience with samosas at Surya last week inspired me to try another tiny spot: The Coast Cafe. It’s a family business that’s been serving soul food for more than 20 years, and considering I could smell the fried chicken from down the street, I knew I was in for a treat. That chicken was very good, but the mac and cheese was the standout. The noodles were perfectly cooked, in a sauce that was cheesy but not overly goopy. It was salty and well-seasoned, with a slight kick that added a nice depth of flavor. (No bland mac here.) It’s also a great deal. I ordered the small, which was $6.60 for an 8-ounce container and a sizable snack, but even the 16-ounce large size comes in under $10.
