It has many if not all of the things you're looking for. During the summer, they even have DIY ice cream sandwiches! Who doesn't want to make and customize their own ice cream sandwich? No one, that's who. There were so many things I wanted to buy when I visited, but I just ended up with a to-go cup of bulletproof coffee, which is basically coffee with butter in it. I don't follow keto eating practices at all, but I do like a good cup of bulletproof coffee, because when it's made right, it's smooth and butterscotchy and delightful. The bulletproof coffee at The Veggie Wagon was all of those adjectives! There's a little produce stand outside of the store, which is quite cute and quaint. When you go inside, you'll see even more locally grown produce items. We were around for tomato and berry season, so that's what was available. There's lots of parking here on the side of the building, and picnic tables out front in case you want to stay a while and enjoy your goodies on site.

I don't tie my family members outside. So we just left. I decided to go to the "old sea merchant", which is an amazing! They prepare far more food, desserts, coffee, smoothies, welcomed to my dog with open arms, and even gave the poor guy a treat! They also have working air conditioning, unlike where we were just asked to leave. My family and I will now be fully taking our business to... The Carolina Beach deli market!
