Celtic creamery hands down the best ice cream place in Surf City! The staff are all super friendly,…read morewhen you walk in you're immediately greeted and you can sample any flavor you want. Nice space for families to sit inside and there is a bench outside. They do have a refrigerator stocked with their flavors. Family of four ordered one scoop of chocolate (dish), cookies and cream in a waffle cone, From the Sea and Bee, and Birthday Cake with caramel. Everyone loved their scoop! Ice cream was delicious, not overly sweet, and the perfect scoop size for everyone. My oldest kept asking if we can go back to Celtic for ice cream - so when he asks multiple times, we know it's good! We ended up going a second time and this time I got From the Sea and Bee - blown away! My favorite scope at Celtic! We will most likely visit again before we leave. Highly recommend this place to satisfy your ice cream sweet tooth!

They honestly can't compare at all to any chain place. It's family run by the nicest people. They are warm and welcoming. The store sits in a non descriptive strip mall but inside it screams traditional doughnut shop. It has a couple of tables if you want to hang out a bit. The Whole place is spotlessly clean and just has a cool old fashion doughnut shop vibe. If you're anywhere near havelock stop by.

But the time shouldn't have also impacted the taste. The bacon on the maple bacon donuts was incredibly stale. The chocolate lacked flavor. The strawberry tasted cheap and artificial. The only three that were remotely fine were the sugar, glazed, and cinnamon crunch. And even those weren't anything worth bragging about. Unfortunately wouldn't recommend and wouldn't return.

Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I remembered that Burney's made breakfast sandwiches! Anything to support a local business instead of a McDonald's or Hardee's which were my other 2 options. Upon entering, the sweet smells hit you right in the face- in a good way! I have had their wonderful glazed and filled croissants! Apple filled is my favorite! Today I asked for a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant! It took a few minutes, as they make to order, and like I said, I was early for a meeting. The service was excellent and the things to look at while I waited were plentiful! Stop in and smell and taste the delight of Burney's!

This was the first time we've tried Burney's Southport location, but we have enjoyed the croissants…read morebefore from their other locations. While visiting Oak Island, we hopped over to Southport and stopped at Burney's for a gingerbread croissant and an apple fritter. The croissant was very good, easily 4 stars, but seemed a little smaller than what we've had in the past. I got to try a bite and liked that it wasn't over-the-top sweet. The apple fritter wasn't as good. It was huge, but didn't seem totally done in the middle and the edges weren't as crisp as they could be. I threw half of it away. The apple fritter rated 2 stars. For this trip to Burney's, it's a 3-star experience. In fairness, we always think of croissants when we think of Burney's so perhaps trying an apple fritter wasn't totally fair?

They were all really good. A half dozen was only $18, which is reasonable for the size and quality. They also have a little self serve cappuccino machine and a few bagels. The only downsides are that they don't open until 8 and the line when it opens is very long. But if you don't mind waiting an hour or two, it's easy to get right in. They also got our order wrong - both the number of donuts and the flavors.
