Everyone is super sweet, pretty quick service and very clean ambience. The drinks are great! I like how they have a kid size. The food looks good, haven't tried it, looks clean and well maintained. read more

Sundial Coffee and Tea - Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Stopped in to grab a tea for me and a coffee with my son. Such a quaint (not small) vibe! All the delicious looking sweets and treats looked yummy! 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! My son lived his "dessert" coffee and my earl grey hot tea was very tasty! To make our experience even better, with tip it was around $10 which makes it easier to go back! read more

The iced caramel macchiato was the best I've ever had. Not too sweet and not too milky, it was perfect. The service was great everyone was very nice and quick despite it being a pretty full house.

I've been a local in this area since before Sundial Coffee opened at its original location, and I've visited both spots many times over the years. The coffee has always been great--but today, it was exceptional. I'm not sure what they're doing differently, but whatever it is, keep it up! Sundial is a fantastic place for a quality cup of coffee and a delicious breakfast bite. The location is perfect, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this is a must-stop spot. And if you're grabbing coffee to go, get two--you'll finish the first one before you reach your destination. read more

The strawberry smoothie I ordered was delicious, as far as the coffee goes, my friends said it was, I quote "goated", so take that with a grain of salt. They have many snacks and treats. The service was alright, and the store was very dazzling and organized. All and all, a good, cozy, coffee shop. 8/10, would recommend! read more

Chai latte was a little too milky but their cookies were delicious! Coffee was also decent!

What a cute little coffee shop. We came right during the peak hour but they were very efficient with getting everyone's order taken and served. They call your order by alphabet letters instead of your name or order. A lot of the patrons brought their dogs in with them and what's not to love about a dog in a coffee shop We've been in town for 5 days and this was the best coffee that I've had by far in the island! read more

Came here on the first day of my family's trip to Surf City. My sister looked up coffee shops and stumbled upon Sundial. Women and locally owned? Yes please! The lady behind the counter was super sweet, helped us with what drinks we were wanting, and made us feel welcomed. We waited for our drinks and it took less than five minutes. Super quick service as well. The coffee shop was super nice, a lot of room for those to study, or just because. Very cozy feeling for sure. My drink of choice is an iced dirty chai with caramel topped with their cold foam. It was absolutely delicious!! My dad's choice was a butterbeer frap with 1/2 cold brew and 1/2 almond milk base. We loved our orders so much we went back a second time during our trip. If you're ever near them, GO. There isn't better coffee in Surf City! read more

We went to this place probably 4-5 times in our 6 day stay. It's great! We have tried different coffees from Carmel macchiato, to lattes, to s'mores coffee! The mango smoothie was good as well!! Tasted fresh :) the workers were kind and had a smile. We got a coconut loaf the one day (mom loved it). Clean in here and has people in it every time we go. For 4 large drinks we only had to wait under 10 min! Check this place out one of the better coffee places we have tried near surf city! read more

Sundial Coffee and Tea - Carmel macchiato with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

WOW! Parking lot. Ample parking! It's off a busy road heading to surf city beaches so if you call ahead give it ample time to get there. Inside: I would've taken photos if it weren't so busy but I will tell you, you'll not be disappointed! A wonderful place to get a group together for a coffee meet up. A private (with doors and large screen tv!) meeting conference room type room! Another private section with beautiful royal blue couches and art. Desks to work. And a standard section with tables chairs and bar type seating area. Roomy for strollers. Looked and felt super classy and CLEAN. They had restrooms and family friendly. Merch: sell tshirts, glassware, mugs, and candles. Drinks: great selection in their standard menu and they have seasonal special menu. Loved the options and nothing very commercial about the drinks. I threw away the Starbucks drink going in and glad I did. They also offer teas, smoothies as well as bottled selections etc. everyone will be satisfied in your group with an option. Coffee: very well made. I decided to get the summer drink, strawberry cream later, on ice. Did not need any additional sweetener. If you like strawberry cream you'll love the coffee. Smooth espresso. Loved it. Food: assortment of cookies, treats, sugar cookies fun for children, all individually wrapped. Did not see bagels or hot food but it's enough to get a snack and drink. Definitely will be back. read more

Been here a few times now & have loved it every time!!! The drinks are yummy, & the staff is always so sweet & helpful. I tried something new this visit & wasn't the biggest fan of my drink, so as bad as I hated to, I asked to try something else instead. The dark haired girl at the counter was sooo sweet & didn't make me feel like a bother at all read more

I wish I could more accurately describe how much I love this coffee shop! Consistency is the name of the game here, and my drinks are made perfectly each and every time. The staff is friendly and the environment is always positive. They have the best baked goods and the rotating menu adds some razzle dazzle. I love that they support Safe Haven and I happily will continue to hand over all my money for an iced butter beer latte. The only thing I would change is more merch and shirt options because I want to buy more!! Love this place! read more

Sundial Coffee and Tea - Iced butter beer latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

Stop searching for coffee places and make this your daily while here! Staff is friendly and atmosphere is great. Coffee is the best that I tried while here and wish I would have found it on my first day-would have saved some money on not so great coffee. This is as close to my favorite coffee shop at home as I could get while vacationing . Their coffee drinks are not too sweet (this is coffee, not dessert), so if you like a little sweeter, add an extra pump of your choice of syrup. We tried The rice crispy treat, but it was a little salty for all 3 of our tastes, so we didn't end up eating it. I tried several of their specials, but my favorite and one that would be my go-to is the following (just order it!): Medium iced sweet coconut w/ whole milk (one of their signature drinks)...add pump of pistachio and caramel cold foam . Maybe they the can name this one after the Beaver family...im thinking the beachy beaver, nutty beaver, or salty beaver...something along those lines read more

This little coffee shop was such a pleasant surprise! Nestled in the plaza behind the Salty Turtle it has a decent amount of seating including a private room with a door and a small area with games, a couch and table! We stopped in a few different days and service was always on par and friendly. They were patient when we ordered and happy to explain the latte flavors and make recommendations! I tried the Butter Beer, also pistachio and the salty white whale- all were yummy! They also had local baked goods for sale and even logo merchandise which was super cute! Loved this spot and will be back when in the area again :) read more

Best coffee in the area. Super cute inside. Decent prices. Definitely order online for a quick pickup as it gets pretty busy!

Great coffee, efficient, and friendly service. The coffee shop is well appointed and definitely has the relaxed coastal vibe. Great value compared to the Daily Grind's outrageous prices (although I love them as well). Super friendly. Love dropping by and walking around the new shops and businesses. read more

WOW! I had visited Sundial Coffee at their last location but this was my first time in their new spot and it is so cute. I got there right at closing, this was my fault because I did not know they closed at 4pm, but they were so kind to not only serve me but also give me a little tour of their shop. They have all sorts of drinks ranging from coffees, teas, and even red bull refreshers. They also carry many different baked goods, some that come from the bakery that is connected to their coffee shop, and others from places in Wilmington. When the owner gave me a tour, she showed me the little private sitting areas that would be perfect to bring a book to and enjoy your coffee but also a little nook in the back that they call the family area. It had a TV, games, nice table for kids to color, do homework on, and honestly was a perfect addition to this location. Before I left, I did get an iced oatmilk latte that was perfectly blended and not too sweet and a chickpea blondie brownie that was delicious. I honestly cannot wait to return and to try some of their other goodies. read more

This place was very good. Coffee was good. Service amazing. Everyone was so nice. The only complaint was the noise. Acoustics were terrible. Need noise defining devices somehow. Hard to hear yourself think. Much less carry on a conversation. No other complaints but please do something about the acoustics here. read more

While traveling to and from Wilmington on HWY 17, I always stop to get a little coffee treat. They keep a simple menu and they serve up delicious coffee. My favorite thing about going inside their building is the local collaborations. Artwork, local flowers, local honey, etc.. it's always nice to see local businesses supporting local businesses. Oh did I mention?? They will bring your drink to the car if you want to social distance. read more

I'm new to the area and work from home so I was looking for a local coffee shop to get a change of scenery for a few hours and this place was perfect! They have plenty of seating (near outlets), free and reliable WiFi, and amazing coffee! I loved all their flavor options for lattes (I tried the Almond Joy and it was great)! They also have a cute order/pick up window to easily grab coffee if you're on the go! I will definitely be back. read more

This was a great discovery this year. Thanks to a recommendation from a local, I found the best espresso drinks, coffee and teas in the area. Their beautiful cafe is always hopping but super efficient, and the owners and staff are friendly and welcoming.

Ordered pickup through the 'Joe' app and used a promo for 50% off one drink! Their Facebook offered the promo code, which came in handy for my regularly $8 smoothie. I got a small smoothie with plant protein and it was SO GOOD, but I would've been bitter if I'd payed $8. The cold brew I got was very good and not bitter at all, and my moms regular roast pleased her. Great little shop, but it's on the pricey side. Very cute inside and lots to chose from. Wish they had more breakfast options though. read more

So I had been in here beforehand when it was owned by someone different. I love the renovations that were made to this place by the new owners. The name greatly fits in well with the beach being very close by. I love the barn doors and they add a nice touch to the place. The owner was very nice and personable. I ordered an iced caramel macchiato, which tasted amazing. I love espresso drinks and this one was perfect. I will be back! read more

Absolutely my go-to coffee place on the island and off. Staff is so pleasant. Every drink I've ordered is amazing!

Excellent Surf City coffee shop. We visited during the holiday season and their seasonal offerings are wonderful. My wife shared a seasonal cookie with several of us- above average. Surprisingly spacious for a small store front- easily accommodated over 10 customers inside. Well decorated for the season with evidence of cute decor throughout the year. Upbeat ambience with friendly prompt service. read more
