“ Excellent coffee! We are visiting our daughter that lives in CB and she recommended their coffee to us. She was spot on! We have been back 4 or 5 times! I love the hot Grinder latte and would highly recommend it!! I’ve had it iced and it’s great that way also. We have had the yummy baked treats that are made at The Veggie Wagon that were delicious too! ”
“ Coffee and booze. Nice air conditioned spot with a bathroom. Has some small activities for young kids and local artist work for sale. Friendly staff and quick service. ”
“ We tried this nice cute coffee shop near our hotel this morning. The staff was very friendly and the esthetic was cute. My wife and I both tried the Tres Leches Latte. I did iced and she did hot with no whip cream. I’d recommend this place again. Just get there early the line/wait can get lengthy. But regardless the product is worth it. We’ll see you all the next time we hit Carolina Beach! One last note: the participation wall was really cute and thoughtful. So they have a wall were you can pre-pay for someone who doesn’t have money to pay for what they need/want. Very impactful and innovative. Sorry I couldn’t grab a quick photo of it. ”
“ Awesome coffee shop! We went twice during our vacation and our first time was really busy (line was outside of the door). Definitely worth the wait because the coffee was delicious, we came back the next morning and there was no line. Very friendly service and coffee came out quick! ”
“ Cute cafe on the corner of a busy area is totally worth the visit! As a first timer, the barista was helpful in clarifying the menu so I can order what I wanted. I got the cappuccino and my husband got hot tea. oh! And bring your own cup for a discount during Earth Day, any day! ”
