After the temp, for the fifth day in a row, exceeded 95 before 10AM, a frozen hot chocolate was the only thing that could satiate me alongside my pork roll, egg, and cheese bagel! The chocolaty goodness, the cold ice crystals, the sweetness of the drink and the whipped cream. Yes, that made life bearable for a bit. While there a staff member realized the lights were off and turned them, and then realized it was making it warmed and quickly turned them off. Smart move! Cute little building with some seats at a counter around the sides (and a few outside, though nobody was biting on those that day). Staff were awesome despite the heat and the amount of customers pouring in.

Delicious! We also grabbed a slice of their homemade coffee cake. Again, delicious! And of course, some beans for our rental to make early morning coffees before the sunrise. My parents went back on their own trip and ordered a pork roll & cheese on a Kaiser roll sandwich (see pic for the ample serving size) and mentioned they had a morning/mid-day live musician serenading them while they ate outside. So fun! They offer outdoor seating and also lunch (I believe they close around 2p). Parking for most of these spots on the shore can be found on the street, although walkable pending where you're staying down the shore. Highly recommend!

I had a lovely cup of coffee in a substantial mug. If you drink coffee you know this is not to be underestimated. Coffee in a hefty mug is a whole other level of comforting.

With an adorable mini "Coffee Zone" wooden barista stand, a toy espresso machine, and kid-sized tables, little ones stay completely entertained while you actually get to sit and relax. They even have a dedicated "Kids Corner" menu with fun, reasonably priced items like the Lil' Eggwich, French Toast Sticks, and Confetti Cocoa. The coffee is just as impressive, especially since they use house-made syrups! I ordered the iced Cookie Butter Biscoffee with oat milk, and it was incredible.

There was a person in line that even said she drove over an hour away to experience this coffee shop. From the moment we arrived we were disappointed. The location is very small. We opened the door to come in but found that you could not fit more than 4 people comfortably in the shop at one time. We had to wait outside for about 10 minutes before we could even step foot in the door. My fiance ordered the Harvest Latte and I ordered the Gingerbread latte. Mine came with a little gingerbread cookie which was nice. The total was $15 for TWO lattes. That price is literally ludicrous for 2 cups of coffee. Price aside it came time to try our lattes and we realized what a bad decision it was to have tried Due-Back. My fiancés Harvest Latte tasted of the most bitter artificially sweetened berry you could ever have. It completely masked the coffee in the drink. My gingerbread cookie was good, but my latte? Not at all enjoyable. For some reason I could also taste berry in my drink. Possibly because the berry was in the coffee grinds from the previous drink and they did not do an adequate job of cleaning the grind basket in the coffee machine before making the next drink. Apologies but not worth the $15 at all. We will not be Due-Back any time soon.

They have brought the full London vibe to the beach, from the iconic red telephone booth to Big Ben artwork, street signs, and a buzzing city‑meets‑shore atmosphere. The name "UnderGrind" is a clever twist on London's Underground transit system, and we love it! It is dog friendly too! Leashed and friendly pups are welcome inside and on the patio. Brie lived her best life with a whipped‑cream pup cup, Milk‑Bone treats, and a big bowl of water. The menu is massive. Coffee, lattes, teas, shakes, refreshers, smoothies, plus a full lineup of sandwiches, salads, soups, and take‑out. The vegan Beyond Burger was cooked perfectly, and the Dragon Fruit refresher was a 10/10. This place is not just a cafe, but a whole experience.

However, I was really disappointed to hear the way the owner (or manager) was speaking to the girls working. Coming from someone who's worked in the service industry, there's nothing wrong with constructive criticism, but he was just plain rude to them. I really liked my coffee, but now I'm hesitant to come back after hearing the way the owner treats his staff.

Their fun and funky flavored "pressed waffles". From the Plain Jane (what we ordered) which is just a Leige Waffle dusted with powdered sugar, to the Lava Flow, topped with banana, walnuts, peanut butter, and maple syrup, there's a little something for everyone. I noticed they also have paninis made from the waffles like The Hangover which is pork roll and cheese, or The Joey which crispy bacon and cheddar cheese. Yum! We tried their sweet cream cold brew and nitro cold brew, both solid choices. We also tried something fun ~ a frozen, vanilla affogato to-go in a popsicle sleeve. Honestly so innovative for beach-goers and those that want a pick-me-up on the move. Also perfect to throw in your cooler for the shore. Service was great and turn-key, and loved the ambiance of this spot (see pics). Street parking available. Would def come back next year!
