The very friendly barista who took our order brought our drinks to us instead of shouting our name. Thank you for that- that adds more customer service in my opinion!

The whole little surf town coffee shop hums like a porch party after Sunday service and the locals lined shoulder to shoulder chatting with one another while waiting for their morning caffeine injection. The walls were painted in those happy, sun-washed colors only a beach town could get away with -- coral orange, seafoam greens, faded turquoise -- like somebody scooped the whole coastline up and brushed it across the room. Art for sale covered nearly every inch, layered together like treasures collected over a lifetime near the tide. Nothing matched perfectly, and that's what made it beautiful. The staff moved through that little café like sunshine with shoes on -- all easy smiles, loud laughs, and hearts so big you could feel 'em the second you walked through the door. Every single one of them treated strangers like cousins comin' in from outta town. Honey, baby, darlin' floated through the air sweeter than the vanilla syrup steaming behind the counter. Their coffee was smooth enough to make you close your eyes after the first sip and forget every worry you walked in carrying. Rich, dark, and velvety without a single bitter note, it tasted like slow mornings on a wraparound porch with the ocean humming somewhere nearby. It felt less like being served and more like being welcomed home! Cheers!!

I loved the store from the moment I walked in, with the quirky ceiling and stacks of old books. There are two floors of books with scattered vintage items here and there. Downstairs, I found the coffee and pastries. I picked up a Raspberry Crisp to take home. All the cookies looked yummy. Upstairs, there are children's books in a section and then other adult books. I could have spent hours browsing. The staff as welcoming and friendly. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall. This is a fun, independently-owned, place for a book lover to come on a rainy (or sunny) day.

We wanted to start our new year off with a bang so, January 1 found us here on our 1st stop to pick up a cache. I was quite surprised to find the Cafe open and even more surprised to meet the new owners! We talked at length about their new café and about geocaching and how we were glad to find a cache at a local business. It was a very cold and blustery morning so when we found our way in from the cold I had the most delicious hot cocoa I have ever had in my life. It was made with whole milk, whipped cream and even had a smattering of chopped peppermint as a topper. Bestie had herself a coffee that she also said was delicious. Because it was cold we didn't have any of the ice cream offerings but I am a gelato aficionado and told them we will most definitely be back in the spring/summer months. If you find your way down to Surf City, you'll be doing your taste buds a favor by stopping in for your preferred beverage or pastry. They even have protein items to dine on! I didn't get any pics of the interior or my cocoa but bestie did and hopefully she'll post a review soon too. Thank you for the wonderful conversation and even more so for the best hot cocoa in my 60 years! It warmed both my body and soul.

So after a lesson in geocaching we of course had to check out this little cafe and we were pleasantly surprised! First off the new owners were super friendly and welcoming, and an absolute joy to chit chat with on a cold winters day. The shop was adorable, with comfy seating and even a fireplace! The hot mocha coconut latte was the perfect drink for a cold day and bestie said her hot cocoa was divine, probably the best she'd ever had. I even had an adorable heart on my latte! Next time I need to snag some of the protein bites in the case to go with my latte. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the neighborhood!

Stopped in here on our way home from soccer. When we walked in we liked the space initially as…read morethere is plenty of places to sit. We also noticed there were no other customers. We ordered a half dozen donuts, a smoothie, two coffees, and a croissant. The donuts and my black coffee were provided promptly. Coffee was too hot, but that's ok. We received the iced coffee for my wife shortly after the other part of our order. We sat in a nice area with some lounge chairs and a coffee table, which was perfect. We waited a little while for my son to get his smoothie. We started to enjoy our donuts and drinks when we were informed they were out of croissants. My wife asked for a plain bagel with cream cheese as an alternative. The bagel arrived after having it sliced and heated. My wife stated a strong jaw is necessary to eat the bagel. It was a good bagel, but very tough to bite and chew. Very strange. Overall it's another Dunkin Donut establishment. We would consider returning someday if there was no other place to go. We would not go out of our way to visit here.

I was in Wilmington when I tried out my first and wanted to find a closer location which brought me to Tiki Turtle's Ice Creams and Mocktails. Right away I was greeted by the staff and they walked me through ALL the different types to choose from. You could do coffee, milk based, and even lemonade (and this may not be news to anyone but it was to me!) I told her I had tried a fruity one and wanted to branch out a little and she suggested if I like coffee to try one of those bad boys. I got a vanilla coffee with honey bursting balls and it was VERY good. Once I ordered and was waiting, I looked around the place and before I knew it, she was handing me my drink! The location is hidden back in a shopping complex, but is not too hard to find and overall this was a great experience.
