    Chicken Salad Croissant & 24oz Iced Chai Tea Latte
    Savanna T.

    We stopped in for brunch and had a great experience overall! You do seat yourself, which is nice for flexibility, but just know that finding a table can be tricky if it's during a busy time. The ordering process is simple--you place your order at the counter, get a number, and then your food and drinks are brought right to your table. The menu is on the smaller side, but every item we tried was fresh and absolutely delicious. Service was relatively quick, and I loved the unique dining options inside--it gives the place a fun character. Definitely a spot worth trying if you're in the mood for a cozy brunch!

    Breakfast burrito
    Amber F.

    Service was friendly and quick. Smoothie bowl was a 9 out of 10. Breakfast burrito 7 out of 10. Honey biscuit 5 out of 10, the honey made for an odd consistency. Honey vanilla latte was good, the chai is a true chai and flavorful. The cafe is very unique. From the outside it looks like a normal beach house, just pink. Inside you are met with a very architecturally unique design. Very calming and well put together. We would visit again.

    Avocado toast
    Clare C.

    Came here around 11 am on a Saturday. Traffic was very busy to get here but easy to park once we were there. There is a bunch of drinks, smooth bowl, and sandwich options. The inside is very cute with seating upstairs on the inlet and three outside patio seats. It is a nice vibe there. I ordered the avocodo toast. I really liked the lemon and goat cheese. I wish it was a little bigger but it was still good! Price was okay for ~$11. A nice meal though!

    Their menu
    Jenny D.

    It was my first time here and both of the items that I wanted on the menu were not available because they were out of biscuits and out of croissants before it was even 10:30/11. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like spending $12 on açaí bowl when on the island it's only about 10. The service was nice and the view was really nice but with the limited menu, and even more limited supply of inventory I wouldn't go back. My friend's previous experience also proved that they were also out of croissants when she came the last time, a month previously. kind of disappointing.

    Such a cute concept. It's a big, old house. So many little areas for seating, from two at a small table to a group huddled up together on a couch. The honey on biscuit was to die for. I ordered my eggs incorrectly and they were gracious enough to scramble one up right quick. Staff were amazing and helpful, kind, gracious. Thank you from a mom of 5 and 7 yo girls. My daughter at one point started just eating the pieces on her plate because it was so good. Then finished her little sisters.

    Caramel Macchiato (Iced)
    Sabrina S.

    The service was great and quick. The coffee was yummy, and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed the view you had outside on the back deck and the inside was modern and cozy

    Cold brew with cream.
    Jeremy H.

    The chorizo burritos were amazing and filled with flavor. The summer salt smoothie was filling and fresh. The service was good and helpful. The scenery was a vibe and so beautiful. 5/5 recommend!

    This place was so cute! I went here for my birthday and it was an amazing pick. The view of the water was very pretty to see, and my açaí bowl and coffee was great. The service was very good and everyone was super nice. I highly recommend this place and the pitaya açaí bowl!

    Acai bowl
    Lauren H.

    Delicious cozy place for a light lunch or breakfast. Juices were really awesome. Bowl was great.

    Cute cafe on the water with a view of the Surf City Bridge from almost every spot inside, and certainly from the deck. The interior is clean and inviting with lots of windows for great views of the waterway. Very friendly service with staff who really seem to enjoy being there and working with customers. My usuals are the beet smoothie and acai bowl. The beet smoothie tastes like a strawberry shake with a bit of a bite. The acai bowl is really indescribable. It begins with the taste of lemon zest for a flavorful brightness. The fruit is always fresh, and it is always crafted with artistic flair. If I could eat here every day, I would.

    Avocado toast and egg and cheese croissants
    Morgan S.

    Had the egg and cheese croissant and avocado toast with bacon! I can honestly say this was the best avocado toast I have ever had! It was very filling and definitely made my mouth water! The aesthetic of this place is literally cute and very relaxing! Highly recommend checking this place out while on vacation!! Also the drinks were good as well! We had a dirty chai and Carmel macchiato both delicious. I love a good local coffee shop!

    Cannonball smoothie

    Cannonball Smoothie ! So delish ! With a unique taste you have to try it. 10/10 with a beautiful ambience. Fresh food !

    Half Twist Smoothie & Juice No. 1
    Audrey H.

    I've been coming to Surf City with my family for the past few years and I'm not sure how we've missed this gem in the past! I got a smoothie and an iced coffee & my husband got a juice! We also got to try some of their daily drip coffee. The baristas were very friendly. We both really enjoyed all the drinks we tried. My niece & nephew now love decaf caramel macchiatos, too! We decided to make it our last stop on our way out of town again because it was so good. I got the same smoothie & coffee. Definitely make this a place you go when you visit surf city! It did seem like seating was limited for a busy morning BUT very lovely choices if you can snag one.

    See all

    The breakfast burrito is really tasty and they have good coffee and smoothies. Every trip to Topsail includes a stop here.
