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 now know that you can place an online order the day before and rest assured your cinnamon rolls will be waiting for pickup in the morning! I'm embarrassed that I didn't take any photos of the 6 cinnamon rolls: 3 plain ($5.99 each) that come with individual containers of icing, and 3 pecan praline ($6.99 each) The cinnamon rolls are HUGE. I got them for my family - everyone loved them! If you get the pecan praline cinnamon rolls to go, be sure the individual containers lay flat in the bag. The glaze oozed out and made a mess! You truly don't want to miss out on any of it!

There were so many options but since I had yet to try the cinnamon rolls I ordered one plain and one with pecans. They were delicious! Massive roll and she gives you extra icing.
