I've only been here once -- Sunday of Memorial Day weekend -- and unfortunately it wasn't the best…read moreexperience. First off, by the time we arrived around 10am, they only had a few donuts left. Honestly, I wouldn't necessarily count that against them because it may just be a sign that the donuts are really popular. They were completely sold out by 10:30, though, so definitely come early if donuts are your priority. We were lucky enough to grab a strawberry donut and a half dozen munchies, and the donuts themselves were GREAT! I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on an Asiago bagel. The flavors were good, but the bagel was a little too crunchy which made it difficult to eat. If I went again, I'd probably either get the Asiago bagel with cream cheese or stick to a plain bagel for the sandwich. My daughter ordered the bacon, lettuce, and pimento cheese biscuit, but they were out of biscuits so she switched to a bagel instead. Unfortunately, they forgot the bacon entirely, which was pretty disappointing since that's a major part of the sandwich. My other daughter ordered the Baja breakfast burrito with salsa on the side, but the salsa was put directly on the burrito. To their credit, they did offer to remake it, but we had already been waiting about 20 minutes so we decided to just keep it. Oddly, we still had to wait another 7 minutes after that for our food. Overall, the donuts were excellent, but between the long wait, several order issues, and limited availability, it just wasn't a place I'd personally go back to.

But the showcases were not full, so lots of traffic before me. I was only going to look but when I saw the bagels , the sesame one was calling out to me. I was tempted to purchase the salt one, but decided on the sesame. It was huge , and plenty of seeds on it. Next time a cinnamon roll will call out to me. The staff member was friendly and did not rush me in making my choice. Brought the bagel home, it was a little soft, I like more of a crunchy outside and the inside I found a little doughy. But it had great flavor, toasted perfectly. Next time it may be a toss up , cinnamon roll or salted bagel , or both. Loved the non rushed atmosphere in the store.

The three flavors I tried were the homer (strawberry), triple chocolate, and blueberry pancake. Hard to say which flavor was my favorite because they were all delicious. If I had to choose one, I would say Homer. Besides donuts, they have milkshakes using ice cream made from local oak island Sweet treats that uses grass fed cows, local chocolate sourdough made from SMPL, coffee from Southport Coffee, frozen hot chocolate.

You can go for coffee and for a fee (one time, monthly, 6 month, yearly rates) let your child play in an enclosed space with a plethora of toys and activity areas to explore. Meanwhile, you can interact with your child in the area or sit at the tables surrounding. There are some high stools directly next to the play area with a good view. I brought my two year old for the first time and he was thoroughly entertained. It was great that he was also able to play with other children. It was a clean environment and they have extra baskets positioned around for toys that may have found themselves in the mouths of the kids for cleaning afterwards. The bathroom offers a changing table and the coffee stand offers a great amount of beverages to choose from. Suggestions: with all the little hands, I would suggest hand sanitizer at the entrances to the play area. Tissues would be a good idea too. I think a lot of parents will carry those things around but having them readily available for use would overall help with cleanliness and hygiene for the kiddos. Also, a step stool in the bathroom for kids to be able to reach to wash their hands. I've been excited for Three Friends to open in the area and it did not disappoint. This is an excellent concept. I'm hoping that with more popularity maybe they will be able to stay open a little bit later for some evening play. 100% will be visiting often with my boy.

I was welcomed in promptly by some kiddos who were working on their schoolwork, not sure if they were homeschooled or what. I ordered the grits, eggs, cheese, and bacon which was edible but not what I was hoping for, maybe because it was no longer breakfast hours? The display case was empty so I asked the gentleman working what kind of croissants they had and he said any donut flavor you can think of, so I ordered the maple bacon which were DELICIOUS!! I think the biggest miss for me was the business seemed like it had lost its identity and was just a place to throw equipment and furniture. When I walked in I almost turned around and walked out because the lights were off, the displays were empty, and the decor was chaotic, almost like they had given up. I think the restaurant has the possibility for greatness and I really hope the owners don't completely give up, which was the vibe I got.
