A Local Staple! Burney's is EVERYTHING!! Sweet, savory, delicious! I was on my way into…read moreHampstead for a meeting and was going to be early. Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I remembered that Burney's made breakfast sandwiches! Anything to support a local business instead of a McDonald's or Hardee's which were my other 2 options. Upon entering, the sweet smells hit you right in the face- in a good way! I have had their wonderful glazed and filled croissants! Apple filled is my favorite! Today I asked for a bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant! It took a few minutes, as they make to order, and like I said, I was early for a meeting. The service was excellent and the things to look at while I waited were plentiful! Stop in and smell and taste the delight of Burney's!

I loved the store from the moment I walked in, with the quirky ceiling and stacks of old books. There are two floors of books with scattered vintage items here and there. Downstairs, I found the coffee and pastries. I picked up a Raspberry Crisp to take home. All the cookies looked yummy. Upstairs, there are children's books in a section and then other adult books. I could have spent hours browsing. The staff as welcoming and friendly. There is plenty of parking in the little strip mall. This is a fun, independently-owned, place for a book lover to come on a rainy (or sunny) day.

Our family always puts in their requests for us to bring back for them. Owner is so nice, upbeat and friendly...always a pleasure to speak with her.

We finally had an opportunity to stop in and try this place out…read more They have outside seating and some comfortable couches inside. We started with the Bori bori coffee, a mixed fruit smoothie, guava pastry, cheese and guava pastry and a cookie. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. We asked for our pastries to be warmed up because we like them like that. They were good and very fresh. I was hopping for more guava and that's the only reason I rated the place a 4. We are used to having our guava pastries full of guava, that when you take a bite it spills over on the sides! It is nice place to come in and have a coffee and pastry, they also have the lunch truck outside which is great because we have had their food and it's full of flavor. They had other Spanish pastries, so maybe on my next visit we will try them out!

This is a hidden gem.

I am starting to think that I have a problem. I had a boba tea for the first time a few days ago…read moreand now I am hooked. I was in Wilmington when I tried out my first and wanted to find a closer location which brought me to Tiki Turtle's Ice Creams and Mocktails. Right away I was greeted by the staff and they walked me through ALL the different types to choose from. You could do coffee, milk based, and even lemonade (and this may not be news to anyone but it was to me!) I told her I had tried a fruity one and wanted to branch out a little and she suggested if I like coffee to try one of those bad boys. I got a vanilla coffee with honey bursting balls and it was VERY good. Once I ordered and was waiting, I looked around the place and before I knew it, she was handing me my drink! The location is hidden back in a shopping complex, but is not too hard to find and overall this was a great experience. I 100% will be returning and trying more Boba (I am thinking a Lemonade next time).

Topped with sprinkles, Oreo, hot fudge, marshmallow, and caramel. *I just need to get their regular ice cream next time.

Celtic creamery hands down the best ice cream place in Surf City! The staff are all super friendly,…read morewhen you walk in you're immediately greeted and you can sample any flavor you want. Nice space for families to sit inside and there is a bench outside. They do have a refrigerator stocked with their flavors. Family of four ordered one scoop of chocolate (dish), cookies and cream in a waffle cone, From the Sea and Bee, and Birthday Cake with caramel. Everyone loved their scoop! Ice cream was delicious, not overly sweet, and the perfect scoop size for everyone. My oldest kept asking if we can go back to Celtic for ice cream - so when he asks multiple times, we know it's good! We ended up going a second time and this time I got From the Sea and Bee - blown away! My favorite scope at Celtic! We will most likely visit again before we leave. Highly recommend this place to satisfy your ice cream sweet tooth!

I asked a lot of questions and the lady spent a lot of time with me. I ended up choosing the Kalbi with Hawaiian Cole slaw and macaroni salad. The portion size was big enough for three meals. I loved nori of the salads and the meat was good, too. The decor makes you heel like you are connected with Hawaii. The two locations, Hampstead and Hawaii- really cool. I really liked it there.

Seating inside and outside…read more Ordered Big island ono smoothie (pineapple, mango, lilikoi (passonfruit), POG (passionfruit, orange, guava)), Malasada coated with Li Hung Mui sugar (plum powder) and filled with guava, Macapuno waffle, Loco Moco, and Ube hush puppies. I liked everything except the smoothie. I don't know if it was the lilikoi or POG or both, but it had a strong artificial sweetener flavor for my taste. The Malasada was essentially a yeast doughnut with sugar sprinkled on top. The Macapuno waffle was soft, very sweet, and had a starchy like texture from the Ube. It was a little hard to eat since it would get crumbly when I tried to eat it with my fork. Served with dried toasted coconut flakes and lots of coconut whipped cream. Loco Moco was delicious. Gravy was already on the rice and not on the meat. Would be better if they gave extra gravy so I'll have to ask for that next time! They asked how I wanted my eggs cooked. I asked for medium, but it was cooked a little bit more than medium. Eggs were seasoned with nori komi furikake (Shirakiku brand/dried seaweed, black-and-white sesame seeds)- love! Ube hush puppies were the bomb. Crispy and sweet. Definitely worth a visit!
