With a million titles to choose from as well as toys, antiques and coffee, this unique spot is a place to get lost in for a minute or an hour. The staff is very willing to help and kind.

Sugar Island is a cozy used book store, that sells pastries, coffee and a few vintage items and…read moreantiques. 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.

A Local Staple! Burney's is EVERYTHING!! Sweet, savory, delicious! I was on my way into…read moreHampstead for a meeting and was going to be early. 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. Upon entering, the sweet smells hit you right in the face- in a good way! I have had their wonderful glazed and filled croissants! Apple filled is my favorite! 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!

But the showcases were not full, so lots of traffic before me. I was only going to look but when I saw the bagels , the sesame one was calling out to me. I was tempted to purchase the salt one, but decided on the sesame. It was huge , and plenty of seeds on it. Next time a cinnamon roll will call out to me. The staff member was friendly and did not rush me in making my choice. Brought the bagel home, it was a little soft, I like more of a crunchy outside and the inside I found a little doughy. But it had great flavor, toasted perfectly. Next time it may be a toss up , cinnamon roll or salted bagel , or both. Loved the non rushed atmosphere in the store.

I'm not a big dessert guy, but it brought life to my weary bones. The cafe vibes were second to none. Bright and charming cafe with tons of seating. Bring your homies. Contemplate life. Though some of the kitchenware displays are a little overwhelming (and may disrupt the flow of traffic), they're loaded with perfect gifts for any foodie. The staff were astoundingly attentive, not to mention helpful when I got stuck between options (a habitual problem of mine I admit), yet never seemed bothered even when I stayed til close. 10/10.

You could easily read the menu and the staff was kind. I loved the colors and the space was clean which is always a plus. We ordered multiple bagels including a Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese and bagels with Bacon Scallion Cream Cheese. It was out of this world.

We enjoyed our stop at sunrise bagel during our visit to Topsail. We came in on a Monday morning,…read moreit was still packed at around 9:30am. The service was great and the workers nice. For the bagels, we got the bacon egg and cheese, and my partner got the Shoreline on the bacon blast bagel. The Shoreline was delicious, the cream cheese added great flavor to the sandwich. The bacon blast bagel was tasty as well. Unfortunately the bacon egg and cheese (the Highrise) could have been better. The filling to bacon ratio wasn't great, the egg was small and the bacon didn't stand out in flavor. I wish they added more as I had multiple bites of just bagel. Overall though, the shoreline was great. I'd come back to try their other options!
