About Marlin
In loving memory of our beloved friend.
Marlin had a way with people. With Marlin the only option was love.
He didn’t understand anything else. He loved hiking, biking and walking. He loved to comfort and made everyone feel better. Marlin did not like surprises and he did not like loud noises but he loved people.
Placed in my hand when he was little more than a silky, black baseball-sized fur ball with a wet nose, I was told his name was Marlin. The irony was that I loved fishing and the irony is that you are here reading this – learning only now as you see his beautiful picture, that this little cafe has Little Ta Do about fishing and is a Big Ta Do for us here to remember the greatest little dog I ever did meet.

A harbor dog by necessity he fished with me often, reluctantly. The choice of staying alone or loving on some people on the big scary ocean was hard for him but he always chose to love.
He kinda became the biggest little thing around Port Allen. Friends would be expecting him every day as he cruised under many a watchful eye and was returned home on his many unapproved wonderings. He became pretty popular online as that ‘little runaway’. Everyone knew that “little black dog”, and now, you do too. Come into Marlin’s Cafe and have a bite and enjoy some of his memories as much as we do. Enjoy some fresh snacks, refreshing shave ice or some local fresh fish caught just outside the harbor Marlin so often roamed to see his many friends.
Enjoy each other as sometimes we are not here for as long as we think we should be. We look forward to welcoming you to Marlin’s Quick Bite Cafe in Port Allen!
Hawaiian Shave Ice
Experience the Flavors of Aloha
Indulge in the ultimate tropical treat with our refreshing Shave Ice, the perfect way to cool down after a sun-soaked day on the water. Crafted by delicately shaving a block of ice into airy, fluffy flakes, each serving is then generously drizzled with vibrant, sweet syrups that capture the essence of Hawaii’s flavors. It’s a delightful experience you won’t want to miss!
