""One of my favorite things is to walk in when it's really busy and you see how happy people are. Tables start having conversations with each other and it's really fun to see. There's something unique about it.""
"Ross grew up in Gualala and went to high school in Point Arena. His late mother, Kathleen, opened the community's beloved bakery and cafe, Trinks Cafe, in 2003 after a career as a preschool teacher."
"In 2008, after graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco, Ross returned home to help in the kitchen, expanding the cafe into what it is now - a breakfast joint as known for its egg sandwiches as it is for scratch-made banana bread."
"Mayra moved to Gualala in 2008, too, and started as a Trinks dishwasher before learning the ropes and expanding her responsibilities to working the line and running the front."
Gualala Seafood Shack, located behind a hardware store on Highway 1, is a small counter-service restaurant known for its fish and chips and oysters. Open since 2019, it serves the small community of Gualala, which attracts visitors for sport fishing and camping. Owners Ross and Mayra Woodward plan to increase staffing to meet the anticipated demand during the busy season. Ross, a local, enjoys the vibrant atmosphere created by happy customers engaging with one another.
