    Coffee Bar and Shark Tooth museum
    Bret B.

    Very unique little cafe with good drip coffee ($3.50 large), friendly service & breakfast and lunch sandwiches. What makes this cafe so unique is the display of sharks teeth and some very large megalodon teeth. You can also buy sharks tooth necklaces. Surf videos and cool jazz are the vibe. Limited indoor and outdoor seating.

    Iced Dirty Chia  Red Tide Smoothie

    Great spot for a quick coffee/smoothie/tea before you head to the beach. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bagels/ breakfast sandwiches available. Cute atmosphere with very surf shop vibes & shark tooth displays. Always visit when we stay next door!

    Carmello

    Place is absolutely chaos!! I ordered the Carmella iced which is Vanilla and Caramel espresso, honestly not that good and definitely was not worth the chaos inside. The drink just did not have a good balance blend, it was very separate in personality and not a fav for me.

    Californian Smoothie

    My new favorite place at Wrightsville. The smoothie was amazing and the consistency was perfect. The almond butter ,honey banana toast was delicious Highly recommend the Turkey Argula pita. Everything I tried was so delicious!

    Hands down the best avocado toast I've ever had. Thanks now I'm going to crave this for the rest of my life. Looks like I'll just have to move there so I can get my fixin! Cute little busy place!

    Avocado toast and caramel latte

    Such a great little Wrightsville cafe. They have delicious coffee, smoothies, and sandwiches. They also have shark tooth souvenirs and jewelry if you're a collector. The avocado toast was great and so were the lattes.

    Stopped in on a cold January morning. We got there just in time before there was quite a line. It seemed like the staff member taking our order and making our drinks was very new and was getting a little assistance at she was finishing up our drinks. We honestly weren't sure if our drinks were made how they normally would do them. I had a vanilla latte but it was wasn't very flavorful and my husband had a peppermint mocha latte which also was pretty light on the flavor. Hopefully, they get that staff member trained up! I had the avocado toast and added an egg to it, it was soooo good! Like maybe the best avocado toast I've ever had! Will definitely try them out again next time we are in the area visiting. They also have some really cool shark teeth, shark teeth jewelry, and some apparel for sale.

    Menu and barista area

    I have mixed feelings with this place. The food was really good. I got the chicken bacon ranch with bbq sauce. They panini press their sandwiches so it was so tasty and pretty large. The coffee was average. And what bothers me is the menu isn't correct on pricing. My iced caramel macchiato should have been $5. However, as you can see by the receipt it was $6.75...and an additional .75 cents for ice. To be fair the ice is frozen coffee. But I wasn't informed of the upcharge. So my $5 coffee turned into an almost $8 really quickly. And without my knowledge. So be aware of the price differential before ordering. The barista was really nice. I would go back if I was over this way but due to price and average taste of the coffee I wouldn't go out of my way to go here.

    Mangodon Smoothie
    JJ C.

    A great spot to get a cold drink for the beach! The shop was super crowded when we went on a Sunday morning, which made the ordering and pick up situation a bit chaotic, but we still got our drink promptly. We got the Mangodon Smoothie, which was solid -- fruity and nice that it comes with protein! The drink was understandably pricey given the location of the shop, but we'd still recommend stopping by for a refreshing treat during the summer.

    First time, I work for the Deaf and Hard of hearing division and stats say 40% of the adult population has a hearing deficiency, they tell you they will call your name when ready but the music is so loud, you may not hear it, if you walk up they get testy. So plan on a long confusing wait, as they put drinks up and my wife's drink under Rick, never called my name, it just sat there and got cold. Terrible system, it's broken. Go to tower 7

    The espresso was excellent; however, the server was walking to another customer while preparing the drinks. They don't sell/serve brewed decaf which was okay, so we ordered 2 medium Americanos instead. The reason for the drop in this rating is because the server did not make the drinks as requested and she had to be corrected twice. The server also charged us for 2 large coffees despite the fact that we asked for 2 medium drinks!! We paid for the larger beverages although we asked for a medium because we didn't have time to wait. Otherwise, the place was cute and trendy and had a comfortable seating area outside. They should give each customer their full attention. I would try them again when in the area. Hopefully, my order will be heard and done correctly.

    Love this little coffee shop/smoothie/sandwich cafe in the heart of Wrightsville Beach. Terrific, friendly customer service awaits you. We had two of their panini style sandwiches which were great and enjoyed sitting outside. Most customers seemed to come for the coffee and smoothies. Definitely a place to check out.

    If I was a coffee drinker...this place is fast...energetic and down right hip and cool...with great music and funky jewelry of sharks teeth... But...ordering a tea was a bad idea...no less than 15 coffee drinkers received there orders whip I wait for the tea...which they forgot...steeping way over 5 minutes made it bitter and I also asked for sugar with it...which they forgot to add...as added it myself...they kindly offered a spoon only for me to dine out they were stirring coffee drinks with it...making the tea taste like coffee. My advice....just drop the tea off the menu as they are not equipped to handle it at multiple levels. The only bright spot was the apple fritter....excellent. And I'll leave you with this...They have a sign on the wall that reads..."friends don't let friends drink Starbucks "....I'd scratch under that...."unless it is Tea...then Starbucks is definitely better.

    Incredible coffee, smoothies, and food. It's a very small and busy place, so be prepared for that. Wish I could have this every morning!

    Moving here to NC just couldn't find a good fresh donut ! Then I found The Donut Inn and now…read moreeverytime I drive to Wilmington I have to get me a lemon filled donut and coffee !

    I've only been here once -- Sunday of Memorial Day weekend -- and unfortunately it wasn't the best…read moreexperience. First off, by the time we arrived around 10am, they only had a few donuts left. Honestly, I wouldn't necessarily count that against them because it may just be a sign that the donuts are really popular. They were completely sold out by 10:30, though, so definitely come early if donuts are your priority. We were lucky enough to grab a strawberry donut and a half dozen munchies, and the donuts themselves were GREAT! I ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich on an Asiago bagel. The flavors were good, but the bagel was a little too crunchy which made it difficult to eat. If I went again, I'd probably either get the Asiago bagel with cream cheese or stick to a plain bagel for the sandwich. My daughter ordered the bacon, lettuce, and pimento cheese biscuit, but they were out of biscuits so she switched to a bagel instead. Unfortunately, they forgot the bacon entirely, which was pretty disappointing since that's a major part of the sandwich. My other daughter ordered the Baja breakfast burrito with salsa on the side, but the salsa was put directly on the burrito. To their credit, they did offer to remake it, but we had already been waiting about 20 minutes so we decided to just keep it. Oddly, we still had to wait another 7 minutes after that for our food. Overall, the donuts were excellent, but between the long wait, several order issues, and limited availability, it just wasn't a place I'd personally go back to.
