First time trying, and honestly won't be back…read more I'll start with the good. Place was clean, the service was excellent and very friendly, albeit slow as it wasn't very busy on this off season week. The friendly service is what upped the stars. Ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and a toasted everything with butter, and an iced coffee. Husband said coffee was good. We waited 25 min for something that should've taken less than 5. When it came out the everything wasn't toasted but we also didn't want to wait any longer. The bagels were definitely not boiled, and tasted like a piece of bread, not at all like a bagel. The size was ok, but for what we paid, just not worth it. I will stick to my rule of only eating bagels in NJ or north.

This is a local owned business that is well worth the wait in line. We arrived around 9 on a…read moreThursday with a bit of a wait. You stand in line to order and they bring the food to you when it's done. There's a dining room and a bar as well as patio seating. We ordered four bagels: one plain with grape jelly, one blueberry with strawberry jelly, one bacon egg and pepper jack on Asiago and one bacon, egg, American and bacon scallion cream cheese on jalapeño. We also order two coffees - one iced one hot, orange juice, a sunrise smoothie and a mimosa from the bar. Our sweets order was: donut holes, an Oreo donut and a cinnamon roll. The bagels were all very fresh and made perfectly. The coffees were custom orders and delicious - I had a hot cinnamon hazelnut coffee and it was an amazing combination! The donut holes were our favorite sweet! You could tell they were made fresh! The service was outstanding and the ambience was ideal. The kids loved watching the surfers on the big waves playing on the television! Definitely a must visit spot at OIB!

They have indoor and outdoor seating - not too much but enough if you've got a small party. We ordered two bagels and an iced coffee. The bagels were outstanding, as usual. The iced coffee was good - you're not gonna find too many other coffee shops in the area, so it's definitely worth it. We did not have to wait too long for our food.

4 stars for the organization inside and the friendly staff! I was on the look out for matcha and…read morethey didn't have but they had some other good menu items. I opted for the summer spritzer which is a take on the Starbucks refresher. The staff accommodated my questions and let me look at all the ingredients when I was curious if there were dyes in the syrups. I got the lavender syrup- although it wasn't a strong lavender flavor ; it was still refreshing.

Me and my friends came in on a Bach trip excited to try some lattes. We knew it wouldn't be gourmet…read morebut it's pretty hard to mess up a latte and they did. A latte is only milk and espresso and flavor if you want some. I watched as they prepared our drink and they used water to fill the cup then added espresso and a splash of milk. That is an americano and has a very different taste and is much cheaper to make. So we all payed 7 dollars for water and espresso. If you're a coffee shop barista you should know the difference. Not to mention they weren't super friendly

Each time we went, there was a line out the door because it was very popular spot! I tried several of the different ice cream flavors and every time I enjoyed each and every single one of them. I would highly recommend that you visit the ocean Isle creamery each time you come to Ocean Isle. I really enjoy that there were tables that you could sit at outside and enjoy your ice cream with the family.
