We had a very pleasant experience at this local coffeehouse. The exterior of this coffee house is…read morereminiscent of a beach bungalow house or a local beach restaurant in St Augustine Florida. Yet, the ambience inside has a cozy and inviting home presence with a comfortable leather couch, festive home decor & furniture, and friendly staff. Jesalyn, our server, was very amicable, calm, professional, and recommended the Winter Wonderland seasonal coffee with chocolate & hazelnut flavors. We both ordered it and spent about two hours there. Service was efficient yet peaceful even when there was a flow of traffic after we were served. Time flew fast there and yet the environment always maintained a sense of serenity despite the flow of people coming in the coffeehouse. There are different vendors with many items to select for purchase from art to accessories. The colorful bags with the smiley faces promoting mental health awareness caught my eye at one of the vendor areas there. I love that the coffeehouse is veteran owned, decorated for Christmas, and has an eclectic mix of handmade items and local art pieces. This is definitely a local business & coffeehouse to visit again in the future.

What a pleasant surprise! Love this place!…read more As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by friends and family with smiles. This coffee shop is definitely a home away from home kind of feel. From leather sofas, cute table sets, meeting rooms, and Christmas decor, you get a real sense of peace and comfort. The seasonal coffee with chocolate undertones was a delight and was what I needed from such a long drive. We spent over two hours here taking photos and seeing family. The staff here are welcoming and so generous. The business supports Veterans and offers military discounts! Can't wait to meet Eric, the owner someday to thank him for his service and as a fire fighter. True American hero. Jesalyn, served us our coffee and assisted with all sorts of keto friendly options such as sugar free flavored syrups. Delicious! I suggested to have old Christmas favorites playing on the television such as Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life, the. I would have asked for a job and never left. The business supports local venders and community by selling a variety of favorites such as cute smiley face hand bags, jam, mugs, art work, photos, cards, and other gifts. Suggest stopping in for a coffee or setting up your workspace and sitting for a while.

He turned me onto a berry tea with lemon that was HEAVENLY!! It took a few minutes to steep, but well worth the wait!!

Very good spot to grab a specialty drink and quick bite! I will definitely be back!!

We finally had an opportunity to stop in and try this place out…read more They have outside seating and some comfortable couches inside. We started with the Bori bori coffee, a mixed fruit smoothie, guava pastry, cheese and guava pastry and a cookie. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. We asked for our pastries to be warmed up because we like them like that. They were good and very fresh. I was hopping for more guava and that's the only reason I rated the place a 4. We are used to having our guava pastries full of guava, that when you take a bite it spills over on the sides! It is nice place to come in and have a coffee and pastry, they also have the lunch truck outside which is great because we have had their food and it's full of flavor. They had other Spanish pastries, so maybe on my next visit we will try them out!

Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I remembered that Burney's made breakfast sandwiches! Anything to support a local business instead of a McDonald's or Hardee's which were my other 2 options.

Today I asked for a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant! It took a few minutes, as they make to order, and like I said, I was early for a meeting. The service was excellent and the things to look at while I waited were plentiful! Stop in and smell and taste the delight of Burney's!

Our friends had made a reservation two weeks prior to Easter (4/5/26) with a confirmation of the…read morereservation for 9 diners. The party arrived at 11:00am and the lobby was beginning to get busy but there were still many empty tables. The receptionist could not verify the reservation due to a spelling error on her part, nor would she attempt to confirm by a telephone contact. How really disappointing and unnecessary.

Avoid Nineteen Restaurant in Hampstead at all costs…read more I called Nineteen on 2/28/2026 and made reservations for 10 On Easter 4/5/2026. When we got there we were told there was no reservation. by the manager in a very rude manner. I said I called about a month ago and the gentleman that answered took my reservation. The manager said not possible, because we only started taking reservations for Easter about a week and a half ago. I dig a little bit and find the manger lied, they started taking Easter reservations in early March, ironically close to 2/28/2026. (See below) Nineteen Restaurant at Olde Point Country Club in Hampstead, NC, began promoting reservations for their Easter Sunday Brunch (April 5, 2026) in early March 2026, with public posts highlighting the event starting around March 8, 2026. The brunch features a special menu served from 9 AM to 2 PM on April 5, 2026. Below is the response I received from them from my google review; You keep giving us a bad review for the same problem we addressed you didn't have a reservation. it's easter and it's a very busy day. We have three big rooms that are full so if one or two are not it's because the kitchen can not cook any faster the law of physics allows. Good luck They are totally nasty and unprofessional. Stay away stay very far away from Nineteen Restaurant in Hampstead!!

That original brand has since moved just half a mile down the road into a stunning new state-of-the-art space, leaving this spot to be completely reimagined into something fresh and inviting. The interior of Palomino Cafe & Cocina is bright, clean, and open, with a welcoming mix of tables and booth seating. Wood paneling adds warmth and charm, while light-colored decor gives the space an airy, modern feel--perfect for breakfast or lunch. There's a parking lot out front with plenty of parking. The menu offers a fantastic lineup of traditional and elevated Mexican dishes, with standout breakfast and lunch options. Guests can customize guisos caseros with eight different protein choices, served as plated meals or as tacos, burritos, or sopas. I ordered a cold brew coffee, which had excellent flavor. For breakfast, I chose the sandwich on sourdough bread, which comes with your choice of protein and cheese, plus an egg. I paired it with a stack of pancakes, and both were exceptional. The sandwich was delicious, and the pancakes had that perfect spongy texture--substantial but never soggy. I also highly recommend the tres leches pancake option--it's truly divine. On a previous visit, I came for lunch and had the quesabirrias, which remain one of my all-time favorite dishes. They're flavorful, perfectly crisped, and worth the trip alone. Nearly everything is made in-house, including their freshly squeezed juices, and it shows. Every item feels vibrant and thoughtfully prepared. The staff are friendly, welcoming, inviting, and very helpful. They clearly take pride in the restaurant and the experience they offer. Palomino Cafe & Cocina is a standout reinvention of a familiar space, offering fresh, flavorful Mexican cuisine and warm hospitality in a beautiful new setting.
