With different types of coffee with Kona and other types of Hawaiian volcanic soils that grow these amazing beans. The ambiance reminded me of playa bowls specifically they have stickers that are free and change often. The service was fast and super nice people. I am coming back here again on my drive back. It's a must if you are driving by or in the area. Plus the double chocolate muffin was fire as well.

We immediately knew where we'd be stopping for our coffee today. This is such a cute little shop. They have a great menu with not only coffee, but also smoothies and lemonades. They have the perfect fruity options for a day spent by the beach. We ordered shaken espressos with vanilla and vanilla foam (or cold lava as they call it.) They were so good!! It was so nice to find something close by that we enjoyed that isn't Starbucks! Huge bonus for the fact that they use coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes. It makes such a difference when you're a slower coffee enjoyer like I am! We will definitely be popping in for our daily dose of java a few more times this trip!

I was…read moresurprised to learn that there aren't many spots that serve fresh and fruity breakfast/brunch options in the Orange Beach area ... and most of those spots are not open on Sundays. Thankfully, Planet Smoothie is, and it was just what we were looking for! My husband and I met up with a friend at this location around 10 AM, and we pretty much had the place to ourselves! There's some seating inside, and a bench outside too. This is mainly a smoothie shop, but they do have a few bowl options. My friend and I ordered the Dark & Dreamy with an açai base, and it was tasty. The toppings tasted fresh, and the base wasn't overly sweet. My husband ordered the Lean Green Extreme smoothie, and he enjoyed it.

While it may be billed as a juice and smoothie bar Anna has a lot more going on there. There's frozen lemonade, iced coffee, frozen coffee, milkshakes, ice cream, some delicious chocolate covered strawberries on a stick, frozen bananas dipped in chocolate and frozen cheesecake plus drinks and more. We have been here a couple times and the young lady inside is friendly and know her stuff. The bananas and strawberries are our favorites but the milkshakes are mighty fine too ! I'm very pleased that Gulf Shores finally opened up our little coastal paradise to food trucks and I'm happy to support a locally owned and operated business. Especially when it's done well and it keeps me cool and refreshed, nicely done! Bottom line: Like I said, if you want something to cool you off, this indeed is a cool stop!

This spot has a laid-back, fun atmosphere with outdoor games and plenty of picnic tables, making it perfect for hanging out. The setup is super easy: order at the counter, grab a table, and relax. There's also a small corner with merchandise for sale, which adds a nice touch. We ended up sitting at the bar and ordered the Parmesan bacon truffle fries... and wow. They were so good I immediately regretted not being hungrier. I was seriously tempted to order more just to try other items on the menu. We also shared the rainbow flight and had the picnic margarita--everything we tried was fantastic. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Parking is a bit limited, with a small lot in the back and some street parking if you're lucky--but it's definitely worth the effort. Next time, I'm coming hungry and staying for a full meal.

The entire shop is beautiful and filled with the cutest coastal décor, artwork, jewelry, purses, gifts and unique little finds. There are so many beautiful pieces made with or inspired by shells, oysters and coastal life that you could spend quite a while just looking around. The shop actually reminds me of my late mother because this is exactly the kind of place and the kind of beautiful, unique things she would have absolutely loved. That makes visiting it a little extra special for me. They also have a great selection of coffees and specialty drinks, a full gelato area, and some seriously tempting desserts. I had a hot caramel macchiato, and it was delicious. I also had the chocolate fudge cheesecake brownie, or something very close to that name, and it was DIVINE! It's incredibly rich, so I couldn't finish it all at once--I brought the rest home and happily finished it later. The two young ladies working when we visited were wonderful. Both were so sweet, outgoing, informative and genuinely helpful, which made an already great experience even better. There's outdoor and indoor seating as well, which is perfect for The Wharf. Between the coffee, desserts, beautiful shop and wonderful service, I don't have a single negative thing to say. Definitely five stars and absolutely worth stopping in!

They also obviously have coffee which VERY sadly they don't offer whole cream as an option and only have the weak and pathetic half and half so you have to bring your own whole cream if you want a real coffee experience.
