Great takeout, lots of options. My daughter loves the Turkey club on a gluten free bun.

It's not much to look at from the outside (or the inside for that matter) but they are very friendly and the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits are huge, served hot and are very reasonably priced. read more

Super duper sweet! Like really sweet! If I'd have asked for half sweet I'd have been way happier. Nonetheless, vibe was "immaculate" in the words of my husband lol. Definitely a local place. The breakfast bagel was oh my heavenly!!!! We got a bacon egg and cheese and forgot to take a pic... it was that good lol. This is right by a quieter beach entrance so a stroll after was perfect. read more

We stopped to get a coffee here while we were visiting - the outside is unassuming but the coffee and espresso drinks we got were tasty! Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Great little coffee shop, breakfast sandwich shop and mini mart. Stopped by upon recommendation and it didn't disappoint. I had a iced latte and a bacon, egg, cheese sandwich on a Kaiser (brioche) roll. Everything was great although the latte was a little sweet, my granddaughter loved it! Rustic feel inside. Owner was taking the orders, he was very nice. Nice little bar with charging stations while you wait. Lots of your beach needs and daily urgent needs can be met here in a pinch. They even have surfboard rentals. Great selection of adult beverages, too! Close to the beach. Not much parking space. read more

Staff was cool and helpful with my wife's choice of a diabetes friendly drink. Coffee was actually kind of mid I hate to say as everyone was super nice but it felt like this is more of a convenience store that added a coffee shop. Well come back based on convenience but there are several coffee coffee shops on that same drag. read more

Came in around 9:00AM on a Friday looking for any sort of coffee and breakfast. Left super satisfied with my chai latte and the breakfast bagel was AMAZING! I have been raving about how good their bagels were all weekend! The eggs are made to perfection, the bacon crispy but not crunchy and the cheese melted in your mouth as you take your bites. Amazed with this little "hole in the wall" is an absolute understatement. Loved it! read more

Great place that is so unassuming. Actually don't want to tell you because it's a quiet gem on Carolina beach! Haha! Great breakfast foods and amazing coffee drinks - yep when you see the place you will think "no way". Yes way!!! It's our 2nd time there last week and then over thanksgiving in 2024! Small market with a few necessities or beer/wine to grab and go! Always nice service and even with a decent group waiting for food it didn't take long at all! We will see you again!! read more

After so many years living on the island, I finally tried this place (to-go only). I'm glad to say I wasn't missing much. The French toast was the worst French toast I've ever had. It didn't look appetizing, was soggy, undercooked. They should have used thicker bread or modified their style of cooking. It was regular thin slices of bread. Also there was a tiny piece of onion, which indicates to me that they did not clean the grill well. Nothing like having a bite of sauteed onion with your sweet French toast in the morning. The French toast also already sweet enough for my taste. No syrup was served with it but then again maybe syrup was in the self-serve area. The French toast platter comes with either bacon or a sausage patty. The sausage was sweet, fatty. At least the biscuit sandwich was way better. We had an egg, bacon, cheddar cheese sandwich. The biscuit itself isn't as good as the southerly biscuit or the getaway cafe, but good enough. The biscuits are made in house. The coffee is nothing to rave about either. Tried a Cafe au lait. Coffee is made from the local Island Roast Coffee. Besides serving food togo, they are a mini-mart so if you can get last minute items like eggs, milk, yogurt, a beach blanket for sunbathing, sunscreen, cake mixes, alcohol, drinks, etc. They also have togo salads, chopped up fruit, banana pudding, other made in-house baked sweets. The cashier was nice and friendly. If I ever come back here again for breakfast, I'll stick with the breakfast sandwiches. read more

Stopped in here on our last day. The sausage, egg and cheese bagels were amazing! The egg was cooked perfectly and the bagels were so soft! Coffee was also very good! The place is very quaint and cute. The gentleman who helped us was very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend stopping in here! read more

Great chia seed pudding and some homemade protein bars, in addition to solid coffee. They were understaffed, so you need to go in and order through the convenience store that is attached. Despite that, the wait for the coffee was not long, and the prepared snacks were good. read more

Great burgers, generous pours for drinks, the ability to park yourself at a picnic table feel the ocean breeze and watch the surf hit the sand below you. It has become a favorite spot of ours during what we affectionately call, the local's summer, when it's still warm enough to enjoy our wonderful beach town and not have to fight visitors for parking spots or tables. read more

The atmosphere was lovely. The staff was super friendly & helpful. We got two iced oat milk lattes. One with Cinnamon Toast Crunch & vanilla and the other with almond joy. It's off the main strip by only a minute or two. Looking forward to going back. We didn't get food but it looks like they also have hot times available as well as a mini market with some essentials. read more

Walked in and no one was present behind the counter. Wondered around until I found the window to order food. There was extra product stacked around and in the way of merchandise and over all just looked messy. The menu to order is on the opposite side of the building from where you actually place the order. The burger was okay-nothing to write home about. The fries were just sad. A little crunchy inside, yet soggy. I wound up popping them in the toaster oven we had in our condo and they were much better. read more

So many things to like here. Got coffee here on several days during spring break. Loved the iced coffee, bold and strong, as was the drip self-serve coffee. Tried some breakfast biscuits and a burrito with sausage, egg, cheese & potato. The biscuit sandwiches were really great - nice size for the $$. Burrito was a little dry, sausage was ground and not flavorful and the potatoes were dry and lacking flavor. Great deal on the breakfast sandwiches during the week we were there with buy one, get on 50% off. Homemade banana pudding was the bomb. You must try it! They also had dog treats for your furry friends Market has all the little things you might have forgotten - from Tums to Tide. This place is well-stocked and fun! read more

One of the best biscuit sandwiches - the egg was over medium with a buttery, fluffy biscuit and chunk of sausage. A bit more pricey but so good. I also got a cinnamon latte which was made perfectly. read more

Great spot for easy breakfast by the beach. Made fresh or grab and go. Good coffee also and nice staff.

I was beyond pleasantly surprised this morning when I ventured out to get a cut of coffee and breakfast sandwich for breakfast. Here for a week and having just arrived last night, I'll be working remotely for most of the week while my bride enjoys some of the extra PTO she has earned beachside. I perused the menu and ordered a sausage, cheese, and egg on brioche breakfast sandwich (well two (2) because one was for my wife) and a latte. Within a few minutes from the back service window the freshly made to order meal appeared and I ventured back to our "casa" to enjoy. As soon as I sat back down at my laptop, I was greeted with a fantastic offering. The sausage was perfect, the cheese melted just right and two (2) fresh eggs atop a sweet brioche bun. Everyone in the store was welcoming and pleasant to be around. So much so, that I'll be back a few more times this week. read more

North End Java Stop - I had to get a bite in before I remembered to get a picture. It was that good. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

It looked there were some mixed reviews recently but I had a great experience here! I came on a holiday weekend and it was slightly busy. We waited maybe 10 minutes for food. Cinnamon toast latte was yummy. French toast and bacon were great too. The French toast is not gourmet as this is a quick breakfast joint; I found it to be just what I needed and the serving size was generous. Adding hashbrowns to the menu would be my only suggestion! Definitely will be back here. read more

The perfect place to start your morning. Nothing better than a coffee, breakfast sandwich and that coastal air. This is the kind of place you WANT to start your day, and I hope you do. read more

Waited 45 minutes for an order of pancakes and a sausage burrito. (Sold out of biscuits.) While waiting I had time to check out the shelves - every item I looked at was expired. :( I was apologized to for the wait (I was the only one there) which was nice. Food arrives - we cannot eat the pancakes at all. Their are dense, very thin and sour tasting. As a sourdough baker myself I though maybe that was the intent (?) but we can't get past how dense and thin they are. We spit them out. The sausage was dry and burned. The burrito - awful. Potatoes inside are over cooked and dry. Eggs are over cooked and discolored. No sausage to speak of inside of at all. We had heard so much hype over this place and we're initially excited but this a never return spot for us, unfortunately. read more

This was a decent place to grab a breakfast sandwich and be on your way. Go early, because all the good bagels are gone if you're late! Sandwich was okay- nothing super special and the bagel may have just been a bagged grocery bagel. We're not coffee drinkers so we couldn't review the Java. Service was nice, price was good. It was very convenient, as it was close to our condo read more

When you walk in you wouldn't except the food to pop off but IT DOES. The latte was so good & the chicken breakfast sando, no words....better than some fried chicken places. Biscuit was so fresh. Highly recommend, don't let the inside turn you away, hidden gem! read more

This place is a picture perfect local convenience store, coffee shop and eatery. The coffee is legit, delicious and strong as you like. The food is lighter fare and you'll have to take it out because there's only a few outdoor seats. They have the essentials you might run out of at home and need to grab quickly. Super-friendly folks to top it off. Support your local businesses!! read more

After reading reviews, we were excited to try this little spot. Unfortunately we were unimpressed. You enter through a dumpy convenience store. It was messy and felt dirty. The self serve coffee wasn't especially hot nor was it especially good. The ice cream was just ice cream bars in a freezer covered in freezer burn. 2 stars because the made to order latte was good. Maybe the other made to order food and drinks are better, but we definitely won't be returning. read more

Good coffee, nice guy running/owning the place and the small menu, featuring fresh homemade biscuits, was just about what you'd expect. Not many baked good (several kinds of cookies), but some basic sandwiches to balance the caffeine. Nice location beside a perfect little grocery and they were open at 7:00 on a Sunday. It's not Starbucks (worth a star in itself), and it's perfect for its location. read more

Awful. If you enjoy waiting 40+ minutes for a cold, partially burnt breakfast this is the place for you. If this place was managed properly I'm sure it would be good. But when people who ordered after me (and ordered the same things I did) are getting their food before you, it's obvious someone needs to get their head out of their ass. Wasted a good part of my morning here. read more

Wanted to love it, but it just wasn't good. I usually love dives like this. Learned about it from CB locals FB page. Good comments about the biscuits but someone did note the burrito wasn't good. When we got there the biscuits were sold out so we did try the burritos. The person was right, dry and not very good. Needs a re-vamp. Needed salt, maybe avocado instead of those peppers which were overly sauteed and yucky. Maybe add like a sour cream salsa dressing to add some moisture and flavor. My iced mocha seemed to be just chocolate and I didn't taste any coffee. I know it was 1:15pm but I needed coffee, lol. I would have rather spent $5-$10 more and gone to Kate's. Maybe I will try it again sometime, not sure. I really want to find good places down here since we own a house here. read more
