Roxy Restaurant and Ice Cream has been a local cultural icon in historic downtown Encinitas since the 1960s. And although remodeling has transformed what once was a funky hole-in-the-wall into a pleasant dining room, the emphasis on natural foods with a Middle Eastern flavor remains.

Roxys has indoor dining area and outdoor sidewalk tables.

The cafe is famous for its homemade baklava, carrot cake and chocolate chip cookies made without dairy products or eggs. You can also get a scoop of Niederfrank's 100 percent natural ice cream.

Roxys serves wine, beer, and spirits in addition to an array of specialty coffees. Some patrons come in just for appetizers, drinks and entertainment.

Acoustic entertainment by groups such as the Peter Pupping Quartet, the Fred Benedetti and George Svoboda guitar duo, flutist Lauren Golden and guitarist John McLaren, and the Todd Pyke classical guitar duo makes a special occasion of dining Thursday through Saturday. The music begins at 7:30 p.m.
