She checked on us many times and made sure we were satisfied with every little thing. We found pretty, fun hats to try on for pictures. The table scape was lovely and the china beautiful. There was the cutest piece atop the water glass that looked like a bird. In it was a lemon slice that you squeezed and then poured the lemon juice into your water. What a wonderful touch. They have warmers in place to hold your tea pot to keep warm. I tried the hot cinnamon spice tea and it was lovely. Full of flavor and so fragrant. We tried the tomatoe bisque soup which was full of flavor and nice and warm. We enjoyed a nice salad with the secret homemade dressing. The 3 tier stand with all the goodies was wonderful. The presentation with ribbons and roses was elegant and inviting. We sampled lovely tea sandwiches, scones and Madeline cookies and chocolate covered strawberries. The scones were warm and delish filled with cranberries and white chocolate. I believe the best scone I've ever tried. My favorite little sandwich was the cranberry bread filled with a cream cheese spread with Kaluha, maple and walnuts. OMG! Absolutely loved our tea today and will return near Christmas time as they change up the menu several times per year. This was an enjoyable and delicious experience.

I understand it's all homemade using premium ingredients. It was very crowded and everyone was commenting on how good it was.

If you're looking for authentic New York style bagel sandwiches, Bagel Dock in Calabash is the…read moreplace to go! Every sandwich is fresh, flavorful, and tastes just like something you'd get in New York. The bagels are perfectly made, the portions are generous, and everything is consistently delicious. The customer service is outstanding, and Brian, the owner, truly goes above and beyond by personally checking on customers and making everyone feel welcome. That kind of hospitality makes the experience even better. And don't leave without trying their amazing iced coffee, it's the perfect addition to any breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and friendly service! You are paying for quality food!!!

Island Market is confusing. I tied my small dog, Josie, outside and came in last year. They told…read moreme to bring her in and were very nice to her. A year later, two days ago, I brought her in and the staff fussed over her. Today I came in with Josie and a guy behind the counter scowled at us. They had a dog sitting on the counter. The scowling guy said the dog did not like other animals. He also told me I couldn't bring her to the back, where they had been so nice to her the day before, and the coffee drinks and bagels were prepared. We went next door to buy my café mocha. So, Island Mart confuses me. They are either very dog friendly or not. Depends on the day of the week?

We were visiting for the weekend & decided to have brunch here because of the reviews…read more Unfortunately, it was just ok. I got the yogurt bowl & I love that they have this healthier option. It was okay - the granola was really good but the yogurt was very sour, and the berries were a little sour too because they weren't ripe. I also ordered a side of toast and sausage links. The toast was good (I mean how can you really mess up toast?) but I do wish they offer to add butter to it so the butter has time to melt when it's warm. I don't expect that but it is a nice touch when restaurants do it! The sausage was actually really good though and was probably my favorite part of breakfast. I really wasn't sure if I should give this place 3 or 4 stars but unfortunately the service was pretty bad so I settled on 3 stars. Our server didn't refill our drinks which is unfortunate, especially because drinks have gotten pretty expensive lately. Our check was also brought out before we were finished eating. I still had half of my meal left over so I thought it was weird. I had also wanted to get coffee to go but that didn't happen since our check was brought out. Overall, the food was just okay and the service didn't make our experience any better.
