I enjoyed their drinks so much I actually went back twice in the week I was on Oak Island. The line was at the door one of those times, but moved at a good pace. They have breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and bowls to go along with your coffee. I did enjoy the turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel the most. Both of my drinks were so good...the perfect balance of sweet alongside strong coffee taste. Grab breakfast to go and then enjoy it while sitting on the pier.

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!

There was a long line of people inside waiting on their drinks, but we were able to walk right up to order. Much larger menu than I expected! Most coffee shops I've been to have a fraction of their choices...combinations the shop came up with themselves. I went with the Jamaican Me Crazy which had caramel, vanilla, and Kahlua with whipped cream. It was good! You could definitely taste the espresso which I appreciated, as a lot of places drown that out with milk and other flavors. Would definitely come back.

Given the quantity of local ice cream stores, I wanted to enjoy a quick and locally owned treat. I…read morewalked into the shop and all three of the staff were goofing off and did not greet me (I had to get their attention). I got a two scoop ice cream in a cup with 1 topping, and was charged 8$. A price that, given the location and the extra topping, altogether isn't too egregious and something maybe as a footnote to a usually curt review. Unfortunately, the "two scoop" ice cream portion was insultingly small. I even asked if it was two scoops to be sure, and all three of the staff burst out in laughter at either something one had said or the pathetic amount of ice cream I had been given (who knows). The two scoops didn't even breech the top of the lid of the cup. I could have gotten more ice cream, that tasted the same, for less at somewhere like Dairy Queen. The only reason it has 2 stars instead of 1 is because the small amount of ice cream I did receive was decent.

It has one of the best selection of shoes I've seen at a locally owned stores, including Frye, Birkenstock and UGG. They have large men's, women's, children and just fun things section. I think the prices are equal to other similar places, but if you hit them at the right time of year, they have half-off sales on big brand names and you can get a great deal.
