Too often we miss the boat before they close, but this time we made a point to stop by twice. My spouse got her favorite coffee, mermaid magic and she ordered a half gallon to bring home too. You need to order it a day in advance. I got a concoction of blueberry and marshmallows that was sweet and delicious!! The bldg is tiny inside, so no place to sit, but the staff is always super nice so that makes up for it. read more

Such a cute beach-themed coffee shop! The vibe is fun and welcoming, and the customer service was friendly. I tried their "Riptide," which seemed to be a popular pick. It's a blend of cold brew and nitro cold brew -- smooth, a little chocolaty, and pretty good overall (though I wouldn't have minded if it were a bit stronger). When we came in, they were out of drip coffee so they couldn't make a "shot in the dark," so my fiancé went with an Americano instead and it was solid. There aren't many coffee shops around here unless you drive to Carolina Beach, so I'm really glad this one turned out to be good! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Basically got yelled at 3 times upon entry. First was only 6 people allowed which you can't tell from outside. Came back in after 2-3 people left and got yelled at again, but there were less than 3 people inside. And a third time because I left the door open too long for my son and wife to come in. Needless to say I left at that point. Poor service and poor attitude with people. Will not be going back again to that poorly run establishment. Everyone has bad days but that was awful. read more

The restaurant I went to for breakfast failed me when they didn't have coffee and I was relieved this was so close. I was pleasantly greeted by a young woman and who enthusiastically replied yes when asked if they had chai! It was such a cute, eclectic location and I browsed while my beverage was being made. At one point she stated that they had the best chai, and I will have to agree with her! I would totally return and actually did a second time in the same day....thank you for a great atmosphere, product, and customer service! read more

The outside art of the cafe caught our eyes as we walked past it, therefore, we wanted to try it out! Their menu has many options, ranging from cold brews, signature lattes, classic coffees, and blended drinks. The ladies who works here are very kind, friendly, and helpful. I ordered the beach bum, which is a mix of lavender and white mocha, with lavender flavored cold foam. It is such a great mix, especially for those with a sweet tooth! My friend ordered the beach comber, which is coffee with sweet condensed milk, with chocolate cold foam. It tastes like a hot chocolate. We definitely enjoy it here and will come back when we visit :) read more

I stopped in here to warm up while visiting the beach, and it's a tiny place that you would miss if you weren't looking for coffee. It really doesn't look like much but the coffee was delicious. I tried the beach bomb which was white chocolate and lavender latte. They also sold other items like CBD, gummy's, jewelry, decals, and more. I will probably stop by again next time I am downtown Kure beach. read more

This is a cute small coffee shop-the only coffee shop in Kure Beach. There is not much seating inside and no outdoor seating. Staff are friendly. No WIFI though. You can bring your dogs in as you can tell with their numerous posted dog pictures. They have a variety of drinks as well as hot cocoa mix, bagged coffee mix blends, veggie wagon cookies, muffins, bagels, to-go oatmeal cups, nature valley granola bars, tea sticks and various apparel, jewelry, coffee mugs, caps, etc. They have a toaster for anyone who wants to toast their bagel. Tried Cafe au lait and cappucino, which were both good. Smallest size is 16oz. Also tried the dessert expresso con panna in tiramisu flavor. It also comes in chocolate mousse flavor and for the fall, pumpkin. The expresso con panna is decadent, essentially whipped cream with expresso on the bottom. It comes with a tea stick, which is soft and crumbly when bitten with a sweet cinnamon flavor. Tip for locals: ask for the passcode for a discount. read more

This place was super cute and had good vibes. The baristas were very patient with us as we were trying to order something out of our comfort zone and ended up having to reorder one of our drinks. The menu has tons of classic and fun options and is allergen friendly. We ended up getting the Beach Bum (white chocolate, lavender) and a pistachio latte. They were both iced and with oat milk. The pistachio latte was an average latte. It could have used more milk and ice but overall it was good. The Beach Bum was delicious. It was a perfect balance between floral and sweet. The oat milk was creamy and added to the flavor, but this drink also could have used more ice. This is honestly just personal preference, but if I order an iced drink I don't want the ice melting away in the first 15 minutes. read more

In Kure or Carolina Beach and looking for your "go to" coffee spot in the morning? Look no further than Happy Hippies Java Hut! We visited each morning while vacationing because it was just so good! Our favorite is absolutely the iced Mermaid Magic.... an absolute MUST. Staff are super friendly and service is quick. Don't worry if there is a line when you arrive, it moves quickly! Ask about their rewards program. For every $5 you spend, you receive points towards a $5 off reward. During this COVID time period, they are accepting cash only so be prepared. You can also purchase muffins, chips, bananas, etc as well as Tshirts, jewelry, and mugs. We can't wait to visit again next time we are in town! read more

Amazing iced lattes! After we head back home from our beach vacation I will still be dreaming about the Beach Bum, the perfect combination of lavender and white chocolate. And my husband loved the Riptide. It's half Mermaid Magic and half nitro cold brew, so it's less sweet than the full Mermaid Magic. Plus, everyone who works at Happy Hippies is so friendly! Such a nice way to start the day. We will definitely be back next time we're in Kure Beach. read more

Yummm! Excellent coffee shop, went here today for the first time while visiting the coast. I got the iced riptide with coconut milk and it was so good I wanted another! The barista working was so sweet and cheerful it made the coffee even better on an early morning. The shop is small and complies with Covid guidelines only allowing 2 in at a time. Once inside there is all sorts of different little trinkets up for purchase as well as beans, tshirts, and cbd products! The shop is just a few steps to the pier and beach. I enjoy my coffee sitting on the beach with my dogs. Next time I return to the beach I'll go back and try their flavored Red Bull's! read more

My friends and I tried out this place while we were visiting Kure beach for NYE and it was such a cute coffee spot. There so many different flavors, and everyone who works where is so sweet. The storefront itself and the store interior is so aesthetically pleasing. I will say, I tried about three of their lattes while here and while I honestly have nothing to complain about I will say that the flavors advertised were lacking. I frankly couldn't taste anything added like in their descriptions such as vanilla, white chocolate, or peanut butter. I would say their coffee is not that strong as well. Regardless, it's still tasty and worth a visit. If you're coming to Kure beach, this place is a definite check-out. read more

Yesterday we had breakfast at another local place and driving home, we happened to pass by Lit Nutrition and thought, what the hey? When we got home I looked them up and, yes sir, they are part of the Herbalife family. So, this morning as soon as we finished watching the video service from Crosswinds Church, we drove over to check it out. It must be something about the folks who open such places (or perhaps they inject some magical substance into anyone who desires to open a Herbalife store which makes them so friendly?); though we were never there before, Manny treated us like family and was as helpful and friendly as Nick, Blair, Sherri, Leslie, and everyone else we've seen behind the counter at a Herbalife store. As expected, many similarities to Breakthrough, Midtown, and Rise & Shine Nutrition, but just as likely, some differences that make each place different, but all so special. While Breakthrough and Midtown Nutrition have the same mix of teas and smoothies (they are both owned by Nick and Blair), Rise and Shine as well as Lit Nutrition have a different name for them (although the shake we had today was reminiscent of one we had (under a different name) at Breakthrough Nutrition. Still, the quality of the teas and smoothies were up to the high standard of Herbalife and delicious. Did I mention that they are lo-calorie and YUMMY? I had the Hot Tamale tea (oh, Pancho!), while Kathy chose the Russian Twist (da, comrade!) and both were so great that I had finished mine and almost finished my smoothie before I remembered to take some photos. We both had the White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup smoothie and they also did not last long. Smooth flavors that demanded another sip, and another, and another...then the cup is empty and my heart was sad. Comfortable seating at the bar as well as some other places within the store; it is just a really party-like place that has lots to offer (especially for regular customers with specials and freebies...did I mention I like freebies?). Good tunes playing (Motown on Pandora) and friendly talk with Manny and others inside made for a really enjoyable time. We will be back (with apologies to the Terminator),

The owner Ryan is so friendly and attentive. We recently moved to the area not too long ago and he's given us recommendations of places to go and has been very insightful, making the experience all the more better. I AM personally obsessed with the vibe of the store too. This is definitely a local or a traveler must go. The seasonal drink pumpkin praline is insane. So YUMMY.

I loved everything so much that I signed up as a preferred member and started making the shakes and teas myself. When I wake up late, don't feel like making them, or even out and about I stop in to grab my fix. I haven't had a tea or shake from here I didn't like. Highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try. It won't disappoint!
