My favorite was the French Toast and my least favorite was the Banana Pudding. You can get a special offer if you first dine at Maria's. These donuts are one of a kind and definitely deserve a drop in.

The coffee drinks were delicious and paired perfectly with breakfast. Our kids absolutely loved the Shark Bite drink, which made the visit even more fun. Ordering was simple--just place your order at the counter, pick it up when it's ready, and grab any open seat. The whole experience was quick, easy, and family-friendly.

The bagel was just ok. I spoke to a friend, since perhaps it was a one off paltry amount, but they had the same experience- where the egg was hardly visible in the sandwich. For the price, it definitely was disappointing (even cheaper places put more egg).

We got cinnamon sugar, chocolate glazed and chocolate with sprinkles. The kids loved them and we were pleased with them as well. We love their donut concept - they are open in the morning and in the evening. In the morning they serve full sized donuts and in the evening they serve mini donuts. They're made and topped while you're in the store! Definitely worth giving them a try!

Such a cute little shop! Friendly service, tons of goodies, and most importantly... coffee. The…read morecoffee was mediocre. I do prefer my coffee a bit dark, but it wasn't terrible. I had tried another highly rated coffee shop in Oak Island the day before and was honestly confused by the reviews. The coffee tasted watered down and the matcha was a hard no for me. Seaside Mermaid completely redeemed the Oak Island coffee situation. They also have a great selection of sugar-free syrups, which I really appreciated, and the donuts were delicious! (Mermaid donuts! How fun) Plus, there's taffy, fudge, ice cream, desserts, and an adorable boutique attached. Basically, you go in for coffee and suddenly you're browsing gifts with a donut in your hand. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in Oak Island! I gave a 5 for friendly service, cleanliness, and good selection. Ciao for now

I also ordered a coffee, preferring the dark roast and found it light and very average and opted not to finish it. Parking is available on site and I got a spot easily.

We stopped in during off season to satisfy our sweet teeth. Selection was somewhat limited but we…read morewere just happy they were open. We picked up a few chocolate chip cookies, a few vanilla cupcakes, and a pumpkin cupcake. The cupcakes are HUGE. Moist cake. Somehow the icing is both rich and light. I'm not sure how that was accomplished but it's delightful. Husband says the cookies are good. Lol We'll definitely be back during the season. Edit: I had to edit this review after I ate the vanilla cupcake with the chocolate frosting. That is the best chocolate frosting I've ever had. Ever. I'll be visiting Oak Island in August. I'll be placing an order and driving to Ocean Isle for cupcakes and cookies. That frosting. Wow. (Husband ate his 3rd cookie and told me to make sure I left a good Yelp review, so that's really high praise from him!)

I tried the croissant, old-fashioned, glazed, and Cinnabon donut. Every one was excellent, and the Americano was just as good. The shop was very clean, too. Highly recommend! My only suggestion is having extra help during busy times. There was just one person working when I visited, and it took about 10-15 minutes before I could place my order. Still worth the wait and five stars. One idea for the owners: two old-fashioneds and a small coffee combo called "The Cop Stop." I'd gladly volunteer for further quality-control investigations! lol PS One suggestion: Free pour creamer instead of the little creamer cups

We even picked up a drink koozie for a souvenir! When you get the 100% approval of three teenagers, you know you're doing something right. Thank you, Wake n Bake Donuts, we will definitely be back!
