Went down to Kure Beach for a couple of hours to visit out of state friends. Decided to meet up at Happy Hippies and it definitely was the best! My husband had the Flip Flop Frappe and he was in heaven! I had the Bomb Diggity Iced and it was the most delicious coffee drink! The staff was super friendly and so was everyone who came in to the hut. They also had local art for sale. I will definitely be stopping in the next time I'm there! read more

Mediocre coffee. Definitely overpriced. Made me pay 2 1/2 dollars for some water because it is reverse osmosis. Cashier was a bit snippy when I tried to pay in cash and let me know that there were multiple signs that say no cash. read more

Coffee was good and the young baristas gave me great service. However, I bought a tshirt there that was labeled a large on the packaging. Got home and it was a 2XL. Tried to exchange it the next day and was told (not very nicely) that it wasn't possible. There was a small sign that I had overlooked that stated sales are final. I get no refunds but to deny just a simple exchange for another size is ridiculous. Especially after I spent $70 on 4 coffees and that shirt (plus tip) trying to support a local business instead of a chain. They also would have had my business again today but no way was I buying coffee there again after that. Will be sure to tell friends that visit that area often my experience so they can take their business elsewhere as well. read more

What's great after a sunrise walk on the beach? A delicious cup of coffee! They have this coffee called Mermaid Magic, and they gave me a sample. Seriously, this stuff is good and I understand why so many people rave about it. I opted for one of their signature lattes, the Beach Bum, which is lavender and white chocolate. It might be one of the best hot coffee/lattes I've ever had, and appropriate for the beach life. The space is very hippy, with tye dye and an assortment of gifts (t shirts, jewelry, cards). The service was very friendly and helpful! However, with only four seats, don't expect to camp out for a study session. Also, that beach premium price is real, as my latte cost 6$ but I'm not complaining it's worth the cost. Just giving YOU, the person reading this review, a heads up. read more

Happy Hippies Java Hut - Beach bum - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kure Beach, North Carolina

They give you 3 ice cubes, so your drink is barely cold and melted. Coffee flavor is meh... not great. Also, they give you paper straws which is ironic because they serve your drink in a 20oz iced plastic cup... This place is a CBD joint that happens to have a mediocre coffee shop inside. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I was NOT a happy hippie. Coffee was a terrible watery mess and OVER priced. Would not recommend

How cute is this place? See pics! I came in while I was waiting for some Freddy's food and they gave me lots of taste tests. I left with a blackberry ginger kombucha. Friendly, but they have packed the shop with trinkets and it's a bit claustrophobic. Great location and I wish them well. read more

Happy Hippies Java Hut - Cuteness! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kure Beach, North Carolina

See all

Definitely my go-to coffee shop on the island!! I'm so glad I stopped in, everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and our coffees were delicious! I got the Blackbeard Booty, which had the chocolate taste but not overly sweet My boyfriend got a regular iced coffee, and it was also great! Very rich in flavor, I definitely think they use quality beans! Also all the little handmade gifts were adorable! read more

This is the cutest little coffee shop. We stopped in our last morning before we left and I so wish we had of visited every morning. They have a wide variety of offerings so there is something for everyone. They also have alot of non-coffee items such as earrings, cards, etc. They do develop a wait quickly as they are very popular but that is expected. read more

Excellent cappuccino, cute little shop and great customer service. Will go again next time we're at Kure Beach.

Love, Love, Love this place! Wonderful, family-owned coffee shop that serves fantastic Mermaid Magic! Great people and they are a walk away from Kure Beach pier! read more

My fam really enjoyed their choosings. Ladies are sweet as pie and down to earth. Welcomed us with samples of 3 different drinks. the place is dog friendly, too. Can't wait to go back and try the peanut butter frappé tomorrow! read more

Happy Hippies Java Hut - This frappe has chocolate, coffee, coconut and caramel. It's soooooo good - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kure Beach, North Carolina

Iced latee with whip cream was solid. Sold other random stuff like mugs and what not. Confused bc Sign said max 2 people and must wear a mask. I had to wait while a maskless family of 4 got coffee. The service was friendly. read more

Just not consistent.. I've visited twice while in Kure. The first time was pretty good. But today the coffee was too hot. Maybe iced is the better way to go here. read more

A wonderful way to start the day at Kure Beach. Perfectly located near the Beachfront Pavilion. They have a mix of specialty drinks (try the Mermaid Magic on ice!) and brewed coffee. The owners/employees are super friendly and *want* you to try their fun creations. How cool! We got the medium brew and the Mermaid Magic and knew we had to come back the next few days of our trip. You can either sit inside with AC or walk 20 feet to the beach to finish your drink. Don't let the wrapped bagels dissuade you, THEY ARE BOMB. They are fresh, airy, and cooked perfectly. Add the house blended cream cheese to top it off. read more

What a quaint coffee shop! Love the atmosphere and the coffee is amazing. I will definitely be returning for some much needed treats and coffee read more

Happy Hippies Java Hut - Flip flop-peanut butter frappe with homemade whip cream and graham cracker crumbles on top. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kure Beach, North Carolina

Friendliest ladies serving delicious coffee in Kure. With Covid, you can't go inside, but just walk a few steps to sit in the swings & enjoy the ocean view. Paper straws & cups with easy sip lids are environmentally friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I love this little coffee shop. They have done a terrific job dealing with the safer recommended guidelines. They have a mesh door screen up with a table where you order just inside. When they handed me back my credit card, they even handed it back with a sanitizing wipe! I had a cold brew and my husband had a hot mint latte, both were fantastic. As an FYI, they aren't taking cash right now to cut down on the transmission of germs. read more

Hands down best coffee in town! Highly recommend the beach bum with salted caramel cold foam. So delicious had to have it twice and went back for a 3rd on the way out of town and was so sad to see they are closed on Tuesdays! Definitely a must try! The owners and staff were super sweet as well! read more

Great tasting coffee and super friendly staff. We camped on the North End and made the trip to Kure beach both mornings to grab a cup of coffee and walk out on the pier/beach. Definitely worth checking out and will go back. Cons- cost was a bit high. read more

Absolutely delicious coffee, kombucha tea, and lemonade! They have such cool, interesting flavors that you wouldn't expect to taste good but are so tasty and amazing (like blueberry lavender lemonade). It's owned by two sisters from Wisconsin and just opened last July. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and there's lots of locally made art, jewelry, and other goods for sale in the shop. Dogs are welcome and there's a little water bowl outside for them too. We love this place - definitely will be returning!!!! read more
