I was allowed to fill my yeti from their coffee dispenser. We also ordered bagel sandwiches to split. Both were good as well. There was a line but it moved quickly and the counter person was very friendly. It's little touches, like writing my name on the bag and adding a smile that will make me come back every time we drive past. Make sure you get a cookie for the ride! There was a public bathroom that you had to ask for the key in order to use. Would highly recommend!

You can literally smell the pastries in the air, which is maybe even better than seeing them waiting for you in the bakery case. On a recent weekend morning we opted for the blueberry cheese Danish, which was perfectly executed, with plenty of juice berries and lush cream cheese filling on top of a flaky, crisp and yes buttery Danish dough. Perfection. I'd love to come back and try a croissant, which look amazing on top of being HUGE. For drinks we opted for the Vietnamese milk coffee, which was just the right balance of sweet, bitter and creamy. It's a distinct experience on Chincoteague but holds its own against plenty of bakeries on the mainland!

This place became a staple for us for just the few days we were in Chincoteague and there are no regrets. Coffee: Both myself and my partner ordered the Vietnamese iced milk coffee and it was out of this world delicious. This drink was a bit strong but that didn't deter me at all from ordering it every day we visited the coffee shop because it was that good. Pastries: my family ordered the butter and chocolate croissants and they were fantastic! Huge, buttery and chewy inside and flaky on the outside, the perfect combo! We also ordered their chocolate chip cookies on a whim and were pleasantly surprised at how tasty they were. Normally coffee shops aren't know for their cookies but these were the perfect chocolate chip cookies - thick, the right amount of chocolate and not too sweet. We also ordered their peach and pineapple slushie and it was super tasty. I'm not a fan of slushies as they taste pretty watered down but this drink was fresh and had the perfect balance of tart and sweetness! This place is a MUST if you're visiting Chincoteague!

What an awesome little diner. This place is 67 years old and very well maintained. The ladies working inside were all very friendly. The food was fresh and very good. I can see why the locals love this place. My three kids thought is was so cool inside an original diner from the 50s. I highly recommend the turkey club and a chocolate milkshake. This diner is worth a visit at some point if your driving by. read more
