The reason for the low rating is that the prices and the serving sizes are ridiculous. The scoops are the slightly bigger than the size of the Little Tikes plastic scoops, and they cost $3-5 per scoop depending on the size you get. I think it is just about the most I've had to pay for ice cream and simultaneously the least amount I've gotten. It looks like the prices used to be much lower, but at the current prices I would never visit here again.

Topped with sprinkles, Oreo, hot fudge, marshmallow, and caramel. *I just need to get their regular ice cream next time.

Stopped into Daily Grind for breakfast after a sunrise walk on the beach, and it was the perfect…read moreway to start the day. The vibe was welcoming and exactly what you'd hope for from a local beach coffee shop. The staff were friendly and made us feel right at home. We ordered a couple of cold brews, bagels, a bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, and a cinnamon roll. Everything was fresh and hit the spot. The cinnamon roll was good, though compared to some of the best I've had I'd give it about a 7.6/10. Overall, Daily Grind is definitely worth a visit if you're in Surf City. Great coffee, friendly service, and a laid-back beach-town atmosphere make it an easy recommendation.

The coffees are wonderful- multiple days we got an iced chai with 2 shots of espresso and Nutella flavoring. It's delicious. I tried the s'mores lattes- it was pretty good, not my favorite combo they have but overall it was tasty. The food is the only thing I had wished was a little better. The eggs were not seasoned so the sandwich overall was just okay. All of the bacon was on one end of the sandwich. On a croissant it was kinda bland. The workers are all very nice and the inside is clean and fun. We definitely recommend stopping in for their drinks!!

It was the flinstones push pop of my childhood! It brought back waves of nostalgia. There were tables to sit inside and a cute selfie wall. Fudge, candy, t shirts, etc for purchase. The shirts were really cute and only $5 but very limited sizing. I would have gotten one if it was my size. I recommend this place for ice cream in this area.

I can save an hour of my life and get a better burger on the island. It's not just dbout the toppings, the burgers are juicy and a great size. The hotdogs are so good.

Unfortunately, someone got sick right in front of us at the picnic tables, and the area wasn't cleaned or rinsed down. I understand unexpected situations happen, and I'm not entirely sure what the proper response process is, but the smell and overall situation completely ruined my appetite. It did make me question how well the outdoor seating areas are maintained during busy times.

For only $1, I was able to walk the pier and watch several fish being pulled from the ocean. The complex consists of a bait/fishing shop, gift shop and small grill serving breakfast sandwiches and hot dogs and the pier. The staff in the shop are friendly and prices to rent a fishing pole are reasonable, but you need to bring your own gear. It costs only $12 to rent a pole and fish for 24 hours and the pier is open 24/7. I walked out on the pier and was mesmerized watching the people with their poles. I saw a ray and blue pulled in and released. The people were friendly in a Southern charm way. The views from the pier are lovely. I would like to return for sunset photos. The pier has fish cleaning stations and benches to sit. A lot of birds hang out hoping for some fish. Worth a visit if you love the ocean and fishing.

I spent over $25 in the store, yet I was treated as if I was doing something wrong the entire time. I picked up a piece of candy using the provided tongs because the sign specifically said not to use your hands. Despite following the rules, two employees began yelling at me as if I had done something wrong. The situation got even worse when I was looking at one of the squishies. One of them was already out of its packaging before I ever touched it. An employee immediately started yelling at me and accusing me of taking it out, even after I repeatedly explained that it was already like that when I found it. Instead of listening, they continued raising their voices and treating me like I was lying. To make matters worse, the employees were also speaking about me in a different language while I was standing there. Although I could not understand everything they were saying, it was clear from their tone, gestures, and the timing of their comments that they were talking about me. This made the situation feel even more disrespectful and uncomfortable. As a customer who has supported this store for years, I found this treatment disrespectful, embarrassing, and completely unacceptable. Being publicly yelled at over things I did not do was frustrating and upsetting. Customer service should involve listening to customers before making accusations. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will seriously reconsider whether I want to return. I am incredibly angry
