If you really like sweet things, you'll probably love it. My Espresso High donut was absolutely perfect (10/10) and will be my go-to whenever I return to Wake and Bake. My husband had the Carolina Sand donut and loved it. The online ordering was very convenient, and they had our order ready for us at pickup time.

Everything looked delicious, but I settled on the glazed croissant and the couch potato donut. The glazed croissant is a must order! It's the best of both breakfast worlds - a croissant with glazed donut frosting. The couch potato donut was a great mixture of sweet from the frosting and salty with the chips. Service was wonderful too! There was only one employee working the cash register, but when the line was getting longer, an employee that was folding boxes stopped what he was doing to jump in and help. I'd come back here - especially because I need to try all of their donut flavors!

They had lots of seasonal coffee offerings listed, but we were here for the wine... and a cookie... AND a cinnamon roll! Both of which they warmed up for us. Alicia was the one who helped us decide on wines. Her recommendations were excellent! We also bought a bottle of a white Pinot Noir at her recommendation, so unique! Definitely not something you see every day. They had tons of local beers on tap, so if you're not into wine and coffee that might call to you more. I tried a taste of the Taco Lime which was like a Mexican lager. It was pretty good! I can't wait to come back and check them out again.

Let me start by saying that although this is a donut shop, do NOT disregard the ice cream. Because…read moreto me, the ice cream is the star. Not only do they not price the ice cream by scoop (so you get LOTS of ice cream), but they make their waffle cones fresh! You do get to try any flavors you're interested in. They even have some flavors that are vegan (made with oat milk)! We also got a tootie fruity donut that was good, and tasted like cake. But I still believe that the ice cream should be given their due! 8/10 - if you love sweets, you will love this place!

Donut station was separate from rest of the store but I liked the clear window to see in. You can watch the process. She was meticulous at how she made them. Gloves on etc. Location: very convenient! Off the main road coming on to the island and it will be to your right. It's great to have a second option for coffee! They offer drip, cold brew AND espresso. There is a private lot with ample parking. Little tables outside with seating of you want to hang and have your food and drink. I ordered iced latte. The espresso is strong so ask for extra milk if you like a light latte but it's a good earthy espresso. I will be back here for morning coffee. Donuts were amazing. I got plain ones but I know my kids will love this place especially with the design your own version. Some enhancements maybe later would be good: tablet ordering vs paper. Maybe even to print at the donuts station and prepay vs pay at one register. A treat bin outside if allowed. Otherwise it's not deal breaker for me! I'll be back. Welcome to CB!!

You can bike there and enter from the bike path (there is a bike rack) or you can drive and park your car in the lot in the back. ***EXPERIENCE*** We came here because my friend's Mom adores this spot. It's a local spot that uses the best and most delicious ingredients. You can guarantee quality here. There is a lot of seating available inside and some spots outside. This place gets packed, but it's totally worth the wait. You order and pay up front then wait for them to call your name. I'm very picky with my acai bowls, I find that some places make them more smoothie and watery. I love it when they're rich and thick. Sol Bowls makes sorbet style bases which is why I'm so in love with what they make. I highly recommend ordering the Sol Bowl (I added cocoa nibs and coconut) or the Shore Break (if you prefer coconut sorbet with pineapple and spirulina instead of acai). Don't be deceived by how small the small size looks. It definitely looks like a lid, but it is still extremely filling. My only note is it would be nice to have a bigger small bowl (with the same current portion size) just to make scooping easier. If you want to add anything, I highly recommend adding almond butter to your bowls, it's a nice savory addition to all the sweet things inside. My friends loved the drip coffee and latte they ordered. I wasn't too crazy about the matcha, but once I mixed it more it was pretty good. ***PRICE*** The small bowls start at $9 with an added $1 for any additional topping you want to add. ***CONCLUSION*** If you're looking to feel tropical and beachy, I highly recommend eating the rainbow at Sol Bowls. Their bowls are so refreshing and beyond perfect for beach life.
