We have been here several times and everything we have purchased has been great…read more I am a big fan of the small filled croissants and try to get a different flavor every time. This trip I got a blueberry, a creme cheese and a Boston cream one. My favorite was the Boston cream, my least favorite was the cream cheese. We also got a glazed donut and a twist, both of these for the first time. The donut was better than you can get at the famous places. The twist was a cross between a donut and a cinnamon roll. Very good. There was a line when we arrived but it moved fairly quickly. There was only one person at the register, he was filling orders, answering the phone and taking payments, so not real friendly, but not rude. I noticed while we were walking that they have a good selection of other dishes other than sweet stuff. Tempted to try something different next time. We sat in the adjoining seating area that is shared with a sandwich shop. The seating area was clean and huge. No trouble finding a seat here. I am sure we will continue to stop here on every trip.

We bookmarked and went to this place for breakfast. The…read morecroissants are like donut-croissants, very sweet and very yummy and the coffee is surprisingly very good as we normally don't have good coffee in some other places for breakfast The store is small, lovely with great services, but the sitting area is huge.

I loved the store from the moment I walked in, with the quirky ceiling and stacks of old books. There are two floors of books with scattered vintage items here and there. Downstairs, I found the coffee and pastries. I picked up a Raspberry Crisp to take home. All the cookies looked yummy. Upstairs, there are children's books in a section and then other adult books. I could have spent hours browsing. The staff as welcoming and friendly. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall. This is a fun, independently-owned, place for a book lover to come on a rainy (or sunny) day.

Brown Dog Coffee Spot has been one of my absolute favorite spots for years, and there's a clear…read morereason they've become such a beloved staple in Burgaw. It's a fantastic woman-owned and operated business that genuinely loves its community, and that friendly, welcoming energy hits you the moment you walk through the door. I live in Leland and gladly drive 40 minutes each way just to get my usual coffee fix here. It is consistently some of the smoothest, best-tasting coffee you will ever have, and after countless visits, I have never had a single issue. On my latest trip, I spent some time relaxing outside in their awesome new shaded seating area, and when it got a bit too hot, I moved upstairs to their incredible event space to comfortably work from my laptop. While I was working, I noticed a bizarre, highly inconsistent negative review by a guy named Jason C. It felt so staged that I actually showed it to the staff and the owner (who happened to be there!) just to let them know I wanted to leave a thoroughly honest counter-review. Frankly, Jason's review makes zero sense. He claims he went to two competing coffee shops back-to-back, starting at Gilded Coffee Company, and claims Gilded's owner randomly recommended he try Brown Dog. Why would a direct competitor advertise for the shop down the street? It sounds completely fabricated. He then complained that his caramel macchiato tasted like "sugar water" and threw it away. I'm not sure he even knows what he ordered--a traditional macchiato is intentionally layered, meaning the flavors are separated by design. If you don't know how the drink works, don't blame the barista! To prove a point, I ordered that exact same drink today and surprise, surprise--it was absolutely flawless, perfectly crafted, and delicious. Don't listen to the weirdly staged negativity from the competition's fans. Between the unmatched vibes, excellent seating, and incredible coffee, Brown Dog is an absolute local treasure. It is worth every bit of the drive!

My wife and I drove 40 minutes to try Gilded Coffee Co. this morning. After talking with the owner…read moreand trying their coffee, she asked if we tried Brown Dog Coffee down the road. We said "no". After we finished there, we went over and tried Brown Dog. My wife had a caramel macchiato and I had an apple pie latte. We also got two sausage, egg and cheese croissants. Neither one of us could taste coffee in our drinks. They were too sweet. It was like drinking sugar water. Neither one of us finished our drinks and threw them away. The croissants were way too small. The only thing that this place had going for it was that it was on the main street and was bigger. It was freezing cold inside as well. I don't think we will be back.

Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I remembered that Burney's made breakfast sandwiches! Anything to support a local business instead of a McDonald's or Hardee's which were my other 2 options. Upon entering, the sweet smells hit you right in the face- in a good way! I have had their wonderful glazed and filled croissants! Apple filled is my favorite! Today I asked for a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant! It took a few minutes, as they make to order, and like I said, I was early for a meeting. The service was excellent and the things to look at while I waited were plentiful! Stop in and smell and taste the delight of Burney's!
