Christine at Side Street Bakery was amazing to work with for my recent wedding. She did the…read morecutest cupcakes and a wonderful small cake to go on top. We also had her provide us with cookies for our family and out of town friends dinner. Interestingly, many of my guests who asked where our cake came from did not know this bakery. I myself had only recently stumbled upon the business while out going all over Southport to sell ads for the Historical Society House tours booklet. Prior to this I had never been there either. I hope with this review and more on other social media that Christine's business gets better known.

Ruby's Coffee House was one of our favorite stops on Oak Island! We ordered the house drip coffee,…read morea chai tea, and a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant, and everything was fantastic. The coffee was fresh, the chai was flavorful, and the croissant was delicious and hit the spot for breakfast. However, we finished our drinks before we got our breakfast so that was disappointing. We arrived around 8:30 a.m., and while there was already a line, it grew quickly after we got there. The wait was definitely noticeable, but completely worth it. Parking can be a challenge, but that's pretty common everywhere on Oak Island, so we didn't hold that against them. What we especially appreciated was how family-friendly it felt. We had a baby with us, and the atmosphere was welcoming and accommodating for families with little ones. It made for an easy and enjoyable breakfast stop. Great food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere. Just plan for a little extra time if you're visiting during the morning rush. We'd absolutely come back!

Wonderful experience!!!…read more The restaurant is so cute! Very spacious, clean, fun decorations and playing country music. The ladies who work there are so nice and personable!!! They have lots of sweets available: soooo many flavors of truffles, cheese cake, a whole display of taffy (you can fill up a bag of any flavors for $10). They also have a case of ice cream. We went for breakfast. They had soooo many coffee options and so many flavors to add. They also have a case of donuts and muffins. Lots of flavors. The glaze donut was soooo good. Not cakey at all and not too sweet. Very light and flakey! We also got a muffin that was delicious- very moist! Would go back!

Before I ordered a couple ordered two drinks and one of them hot but they made the other drink hot. First they argued with the customers then they slammed the wrong drink into the trashcan. Then I ordered by drink with two flavors and cold foam. When they gave me my drink it didn't have cold foam and I said "I'm so sorry I requested cold foam" and the baristas snapped at me "no you didn't" then I looked confused and they said "well you didn't pay for it." The cold foam is a 75 cent up charge which I would have happily paid but they rang me up wrong then embarrassed me in front of the rest of the customers. I will NOT be back.
