I wish I could've picked an ice cream flavor though. Tummy Trembler (4/5): Fun to do once.

Topped with sprinkles, Oreo, hot fudge, marshmallow, and caramel. *I just need to get their regular ice cream next time.

There was only one girl working in the entire place! Where is good help?! She was calm, took care of everyone nicely, and never got flustered. Both got soft serve but one stated theirs was gritty and the other said theirs was bad and runny. The shop was cute and had VERY good prices on everything and it's a shame I couldn't give a better review. The young girl behind the counter deserves 10 stars, but the experience is a zero. Sorry.

Sugar Island is a cozy used book store, that sells pastries, coffee and a few vintage items and…read moreantiques. 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.

Staff were friendly and helped with my flavor combo and drinks were perfection. Will be a frequent stop this summer for drinks before hitting the beach!

The vibe was welcoming and exactly what you'd hope for from a local beach coffee shop. The staff were friendly and made us feel right at home. We ordered a couple of cold brews, bagels, a bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, and a cinnamon roll. Everything was fresh and hit the spot. The cinnamon roll was good, though compared to some of the best I've had I'd give it about a 7.6/10. Overall, Daily Grind is definitely worth a visit if you're in Surf City. Great coffee, friendly service, and a laid-back beach-town atmosphere make it an easy recommendation.

I had looked up the business and reviews before we came and was lured in by the flavor list and great feedback. I'd give this place 5 stars if they actually let customers sample the ice cream before you purchase the scoops/cups/cones. This is the first place I've encountered that doesn't allow you to try samples, and it might be that they used to allow it but because people abused the system they quit doing it. Either way, it's a frustrating result. My ice cream was great and the employee was nice, but if samples were allowed and if there was any indoor seating so you could enjoy the AC I'd have given 5 stars without a second thought.
