The store that it is…read morein is very cluttered and there are very few tables to eat...it's more of a get your ice cream and go back out into the heat kind of place. There is no free parking so getting here is going to cost you more than other spots. And the final thing...no public bathrooms. I love taking my kids to get ice cream but they almost always have to use the bathroom as soon as you get somewhere. Service was fine and they were able to get a big group through rather quickly. Even though the ice cream is good, it's not pay to park good. I would only come here again if I was parked and doing something else and just happened to be within walking distance.

Holy wow - this is the best gelato and sorbetto I've had in America! It's on par with the gelatos I…read morehad in Morocco, Spain, and Greece. There are lots of flavor options, and the portion sizes are reasonable. You can try a couple flavors without getting a quart of gelato like some ice cream shops serve as a double scoop (lol). The waffle cone was one of the best I've ever had. The vegan options are equally delicious as the dairy gelato. I had both, and honestly I would have been super satisfied with either option! I chose the vegan pineapple passion fruit and the strawberry and cream gelato. My husband had the peanut butter swirl gelato in a cup. I'm hoping to go back on my way out of town!

We even picked up a drink koozie for a souvenir! When you get the 100% approval of three teenagers, you know you're doing something right. Thank you, Wake n Bake Donuts, we will definitely be back!

The cake donuts are amazing and they have a different flavor every day; same with the fritters. The apple fritters are huge and so are the cinnamon rolls. They also offer vegan/gluten friendly donuts on certain days. The workers are so helpful and nice. I highly recommend the Carolina Sand Latte and the Butterfinger Bash Donut. They also have shirts and hats with very cool designs. Me and my family went here every day of our 4 day vacation to Carolina Beach and Kure Beach.

They have a terrific waiting area as they are busy! They have a front bar and a back bar, as well as tables. We grabbed two seats at the back bar. Holly was our main server and she was a delight. Super friendly and attentive. She for sure added to the down home vibe that this place has. We ordered a margarita and another drink that was similar to a Manhattan. Both were great. Also grabbed a sangria that was good as well. Started with the chicken satay and it was great. Highly recommend this. Comes with 4 and the slaw and sauce were amazing. Ordered the seafood paella which was delicious and the burger. The portions are generous! Let me tell you that burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. The bun - it was like a cloud. Maybe it was steamed? It wasn't heavy and it didn't take over the main star which were the two delicious patties with some fantastic cheese and then had caramelized onions with red peppers. This came with fries as well. Do not leave without getting this burger. It will ruin all other burgers you have ever had or will have. This is a no brainer! Get here.

Our service was quick and efficient! We snuck in right before the rush around 5:45 PM our server Kyra was wonderful! Her timing was excellent and her suggestions were spot on! She was friendly, efficient, and just added to the great experience that all four of us had! My husband and I shared the mahi special and something called Crete Beets ( spelled on the menu beats); both were absolutely delicious! The mahi was prepared perfectly and had a nice light creole sauce which they put on the side for dipping and the crab mac & cheese was delightful with asparagus that was cooked on point; not overdone and not underdone which I know in restaurants is sometimes difficult to do. The crete "beats" was more or less a charcuterie board of roasted purple and gold beats with the most delicious whipped dip and perfectly seasoned and baked pita some of the best I've ever had with olives and cucumbers, and pickled red onions! I can't really describe the dip and apparently it's top-secret because I asked for the recipe! Our friends ordered the beet salad with extra beets; shrimp Tapatio and a bowl of the soup of the day. All were delicous and there was not a crumb or a drop left on their plates while my husband and I were still eating ours! The soup of the day was a potato jalapeño cheddar and it did not disappoint! this seriously is one of the few consistent restaurants on the island! I'm still dreaming about my food this morning!

They had lots of seasonal coffee offerings listed, but we were here for the wine... and a cookie... AND a cinnamon roll! Both of which they warmed up for us. Alicia was the one who helped us decide on wines. Her recommendations were excellent! We also bought a bottle of a white Pinot Noir at her recommendation, so unique! Definitely not something you see every day. They had tons of local beers on tap, so if you're not into wine and coffee that might call to you more. I tried a taste of the Taco Lime which was like a Mexican lager. It was pretty good! I can't wait to come back and check them out again.

They have cup options with toppings, everything looked fresh & clean. I love the idea of adding just a touch of flavor to a plain vanilla-twist (soft serve) cone, great little treat! This is not a 'gourmet' ice cream shop, just a quaint little soft-serve place on the boardwalk.

And because I like produce I also got a side of steamed broccoli. Both were delicious! The nachos were huge- I only ate like half before getting full! The broccoli was also delicious and I'm so glad I incorporated it. My husband enjoyed his fish and fries too! The service was good, and I would definitely visit the new location once they're open!

Seems as if their closing time is a suggestion as they had live music and food was till being brought out. There are high top tables, a dining area, and a bar. It's an outdoor venue. Very beachy vibe. Super fun with the live music too. Service was great. Bartender was friendly and quick. The margarita was good, as was the beer. We didn't stay long after our one drink. The music stopped around 9:10pm. Apparently they have music frequently. Our Uber driver told us that this is their last season as a restaurant since they are tearing down the building and making a hotel of some sort.
