The coffee here is strong and fairly priced - they have the standard espresso, cappuccino, drip coffee options along with fun summer concoctions for iced coffee lovers. There's a small seating area in the front of the shop where you can enjoy your coffee and read the latest book. Service here is friendly, you may experience a bit of a wait for your coffee depending on how busy it is, but in my opinion it's worth the wait. They have a good mix of classic book titles along with new releases, so if you need something to read while you're sitting on the beach you'll find it here.

UNLESS YOU HAVE 20+ MINUTES TO KILL, GO ELSEWHERE - they are not the only game in town! (Head over to the Sbux in Harris Teeter across the highway - you will get served MUCH faster - and for chrissake, it's just a lousy stinkin' Sbux drink nbd.) I walked over from Marshall's for a "quick" or what I thought was quick anyway (!) hot latte. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Walked in and ordered at the counter - NO ONE ELSE IN LINE AND 2 PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME WAITING FOR THEIR DRINKS. TOOK THEM 25 MINUTES TO MAKE MY DRINK. NO LIE. Had I mobile ordered though, I would have gotten it MUCH sooner. Mobile order customers were in and out in no time. Baristas crankin' them mobile order drinks out like there was no tomorrow. I absolutely cannot stand Sbux shops that prioritize mobile orders over walk ins. MAKES NO SENSE AND IS INFURIATING. Do NOT come here if you don't mobile order or if you're in a hurry or during peak coffee times (early am, weekends any time, etc). Even after 20 minutes waiting for my drink, the barista had THE NERVE to announce "sorry folks - we're doing the best we can - thanks for your patience - we'll be right with you." The number of people waiting for their drinks to be made kept getting bigger and biggee - the waiting area filled up. And it stilllllll took another 5-10 mins for me to get my drink. ANDDDD I actually had to go up to the barista to ask when my drink would be ready - she asked for my name, I told her, she checked and my drink was sitting on the counter with another batch of already made drinks! No "oops" "sorry" "my bad". Nothing. LAST TIME I WILL BE GOING TO THIS LOCATION. RIDICULOUS. AND ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION.

Barrier Island Bagels offers a variety of bagel sandwich options, build your own bagels with different spreads, and there are cocktails available, too! Fancy!

One was sweet and the other savory. There were several customers picking up orders and the counter stayed busy with walk-ins, too. This is definitely a popular, fun, and cozy option for locals and tourists alike.
