The Wilmington/Leland area is lacking something. It is really hard to find a place that has great…read morecoffee and great food. There are a few that have one or the other, rarely both. The ones that do have both, it's more of a sit down to eat food and not great for grab and go (which is essential for a coffee spot). That's when we found The Kozy Bean! The coffee was fantastic! The food was truly impressive and cooked to order! Service was very welcoming and inviting. The location itself feels like a converted home (don't know if it is) and offers several different rooms you can sit to enjoy your order or even spend some time remote working. There is also outdoor seating and we were told they sell beer and wine in the evenings with fire pits available. This place is a little tucked away in BSL, but man it is worth it!

Prices are quite reasonable for a beach shop, and the iced lattes are fabulous. Be sure to get yours with coffee ice cubes for an extra kick. I also quite enjoy their smoothies when in the mood for something sweet.

We also had her provide us with cookies for our family and out of town friends dinner. Interestingly, many of my guests who asked where our cake came from did not know this bakery. I myself had only recently stumbled upon the business while out going all over Southport to sell ads for the Historical Society House tours booklet. Prior to this I had never been there either. I hope with this review and more on other social media that Christine's business gets better known.

Wonderful experience!!!…read more The restaurant is so cute! Very spacious, clean, fun decorations and playing country music. The ladies who work there are so nice and personable!!! They have lots of sweets available: soooo many flavors of truffles, cheese cake, a whole display of taffy (you can fill up a bag of any flavors for $10). They also have a case of ice cream. We went for breakfast. They had soooo many coffee options and so many flavors to add. They also have a case of donuts and muffins. Lots of flavors. The glaze donut was soooo good. Not cakey at all and not too sweet. Very light and flakey! We also got a muffin that was delicious- very moist! Would go back!

When asked for allergen information, she rudely responded saying the information was unavailable.
