Acai bowl and breakfast burrito - if nothing else, these are a MUST!! I dream about them from Ohio...lol!!!

Amazing service. Food and coffee were shockingly great. Both indoor and outdoor seating with great views. Highly recommend!

Really loved this spot in Surf City! I was captivated by the views and creative açaí bowls posted by other Yelpers. I'm a sucker for a good aesthetic and Diver delivers. But it's not just for looks... the food is seriously tasty! I simply couldn't decide, so I ordered two things. The natural choice! I wanted to try the avocado toast, so I ordered the bacon version. It also had goat cheese, microgreens and lemon zest! Such a well balanced toast! The bacon and avocados were savory, the goat cheese was rich and tangy, the lemon zest brightened it up, and the microgreens added texture and freshness! The bread was gluten free as well. Excellent presentation! But even better presentation was the pitaya bowl. WOW! The smoothie base had a beautiful bright pink hue, a delicious blend of dragonfruit, strawberry, banana & coconut. It was topped with an abundance of deliciousness! Natural peanut butter, chia seeds, gluten free granola, plus sliced bananas, mangos and kiwis. Top it all off with a beautiful edible orchid bloom. I will say, the bloom did not taste good. Lol. But the smoothie bowl was fantastic! So fresh and filling. I grabbed my coffee from the counter and headed upstairs for my food to be delivered! I initially headed out to the deck, but it was a pretty toasty morning... so I shamelessly snapped some pictures with the beautiful view of the marina in the background and headed inside. They have a nice little area right inside where you can still take in the view in the AC ;) read more

Awesome views from the porch to go with freshly made smoothies, juices, açaí bowls, as well as some savory breakfast items (love their burrito). Always friendly staff. And of course the coffee is very good, and they'll make items not in their menu on request (including decaf drinks for kids). A real local gem. read more

I thought the table settings were very novel. I thought the whole way the restaurant worked was very different. The food that I had was excellent coffee was fair, great location, and very friendly and helpful staff.Breakfast Sandwich read more

Smooth coffee, hip aesthetics, and a vibe unmatched, what more could you ask for? I've tried about 4 different coffee houses here in Surf City and NONE compare to how good Diver Surfside Cafe is!!! I ordered their caramel macchiato with oat milk which was so delicious (I honestly wanted to order more of it). The vanilla flavoring used wasn't too strong, but strong enough where it held its ground with the oat milk. The sandwich is ok, could use a wow factor to kick it up a notch. All in all the coffee and sweet service is what makes this place 5 stars!!! read more

This is my favorite place to go when I need a space to work that's outside my home. They have delicious coffee and food! I especially recommend the breakfast burrito, avocado toast, and açaí bowl! read more

Not a fan. The layout is weird and there's a room in the dining area where a toilet is just way too close to a table for my comfort. There's not that much on the menu. And the items we DID order were nothing to write home about. The drip coffee tasted like it was reheated from last week. This place definitely feels like a house that was converted into a restaurant without any thought about accessibility. The dining spaces are literally broken up into the "bedrooms" of what used to be someone's house. Maybe there's something on the menu that's good but my party and I did not find it the day we went. Just an over priced coffee shop with a view IMO. read more

Cute modern cafe near Topsail beaches. We went Memorial Day weekend and the inside was packed. I shared an açaí bowl and a breakfast burrito with my better half. The açaí bowl is one of the better versions I've had since relocating to NC from CA. The toppings were plentiful and the fruit on top was fresh too. I think I'd we were in the area again and hungry for açaí or breakfast we'd stop in again. read more

Wanted to come here for a cute romantic date and it's definitely a great place to treat yourself too. Plenty of great seats, all with a scenic view no matter where you sit. They got games and activities for the kids too. Private spaces too if you're bringing family or friends too in the upstairs area. Parking can be a bit of a hassle but worth a visit. read more

Super cute place! Super friendly staff and the food/coffee was great! We sat on the patio and enjoyed the view read more

Menu was small, prefer to have waitstaff, food was ok. The atmosphere was simple and cute, with outdoor seating as an option.

One of my favorite places for breakfast and coffee when I'm visiting Surf City. This is the second year in a row we've come for breakfast. The Avocado toast is a must!!! Its so incredibly good and fresh. The lemon zest is such a great touch. I also added bacon and it's seriously one of the best Avocado toasts I've ever had. The coffee never disappoints either. Lots of options to choose from. If you sit upstairs in the back there are lovely water views to enjoy your breakfast and coffee. Great spot. Definitely check it out if your in the area. read more

I love smoothie bowls. The creaminess and bright flavors are always a treat, especially on a warm day. As soon as I saw Divers' menu, I knew I had to find time to go. I was not disappointed! Their menu is not huge, but the very friendly staff can create or adapt anything to fit your cravings or dietary needs. I am allergic to bananas, so when they learned that, they were quick to ask questions & make sure nothing was contaminated. As I was perusing the menu, they told me about a new blue smoothie bowl they'd just created but hadn't yet named. It has a pineapple-coconut base, to which they added plenty of blueberries, kiwi, granola, and coconut. It was fantastic. I can't wait to go back and work my way through the rest of the menu! read more

Diver Surfside Cafe - How cute are these fresh farm eggs - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

The place is really cute, the food is great, but I am giving a 3 star because every piece of dish is plastic. You guys are by the beach, very close to places that saves sea turtles, that many times are harmed by straws and plastic. Maybe be more considering to nature, maybe a little less profit and pay someone to wash the dishes? For me, a vegan, and a human being deeply worried about our beautiful planet, it hurts my soul when I see an amazing business using so much plastic. read more

a hidden gem! this cafe was so aesthetic inside & out, the food was quick & tasty! there were so many different seating arrangements, ice water stations & gender neutral bathrooms! definitely the place to be for a brunch date with friends! they also had pastries on display as well as the cutest stickers with their logo! read more

We love this place! Our favorite morning stop before hitting the beach. Food is EXCELLENT. Great options, fun ingredients and always well executed/plated. Skip Starbucks, the coffee here is also great. The atmosphere is bright and inviting, and I love that they keep some toys and books out for the kids to play with while we wait - it makes it feel less pretentious, because it's certainly a "trendier" restaurant for the area. Staff is awesome and welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Diver Surfside Cafe - The gang getting their coffee fix - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Did not like their arraignment as far as ordering and trying to find a place to sit. All their sitting seems to be upstairs. Food is then delivered to you. No condiments on tables. Asked server for salt and pepper, got pepper no salt, no sugar for coffee. Reminder they have to go up and down the stairs for service. Server was young not into what she was doing. The avocado toast was good, presentation on plate no so much. Finished my food went downstairs to exit and get some sugar for coffee at the station, wanted regular sugar none there. Asked server and brought me a small plastic container with sugar to go!! Well not going back did not like service!! More for genZ! Not boomers! read more

I just love everything about this place. Great coffee, awesome food (so many gluten-free options) and exceptional service with a smile. Bravo! This one goes on my top coffee spots in the USA. read more

One of the things we like to do on a getaway is seek out a local place for breakfast. Well, if you're in the Topsail/Surf City area and like to do the same, this cafe is for you. My breakfast burrito was full of great flavors and portioned just right. My wife's bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich (regretfully they were out of avocado) was perfect. Nice "healthy" options on menu as well but, like I said, we were on vacation. The cafe itself was just as I pictured online. Bright, clean, architecturally simple yet stunning. Great views of the intracoastal waterway and marshes. Friendly owners and staff that were a pleasure to chat with. We wish them continued success! John & Heidi VA read more
