Wow! This place is awesome. We were only visiting the beach for the weekend and ended up coming here for breakfast two days in a row. The owner is super friendly and helpful. The bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was AMAZING. The iced coffee/cold brew is also one for the books! read more

So thankful for this little coffee shop so we don't have to battle the beach traffic downtown. We can easily bike/walk here from our house, grab our coffee and food and still feel like we're local without all the tourists. They have breakfast sandwiches, burgers and pastries as well as an extensive coffee and specialty latte selection. The burger was honestly amazing. We got it to go and I was impressed the bun stayed fluffy and was not saturated in the slightest from the condiments or burger juices. This will be our go to from now on! read more

This place was amazing! I wish we found it earlier during our stay than on our way home. We ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit. The sandwich was delicious and having it on the homemade biscuit was heavenly. I finished mine before my husband and was tempted to steal and eat his too because the biscuit melted in your mouth. Also ordered coffees and they were the best and most flavorful out of all of the coffee spots we tried in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will be visiting again next time we are in the area. Added bonus .. the owner was really cool and fun to chat with! read more

North End Java Stop - Bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

Nice to have a coffee shop so close and within walking distance. Coffee drinks are ok. Breakfast sandwich items fair but hot. Frozen biscuits don't cut it. read more

Stopped here this morning for breakfast and so glad we did. It was so close to my best friend's airbnb that we could have walked! We both got the everything bagel with egg, bacon and cheese. Her little girl got French toast with a side of potatoes and bacon. The potatoes were delicious with little bits of pepper and onion in them. The iced lattes were so tasty. Hope this place lasts as this would be a regular stop for me for breakfast! May even try it a second time on way out tomorrow! read more

Waited forever for a non toasted trash breakfast sandwich. They need better organization.

Lovely service, food was in a ready to go bar and was HUGE. Coffee was really good as well.

I stopped in a few times while on vacation because it was within walking distance. The coffee is decent and the guy that runs the shop is very nice. If it wasn't super close I probably would not have stopped, but it's a great asset to Carolina Beach. read more

Discovered this quiet neighborhood gem on our last day. Took a rainy walk for coffee and left with an amazing breakfast burrito & homemade banana pudding. Would've visited every day had we known! read more

Stopped by this morning on my way back to RDU (Labor Day weekend). The caramel cold brew was tasty and the scratch made bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was on point! Staff was friendly and wore face shield and or masks. Whether we think makes work or not doesn't matter. It's about respecting and loving your neighbors. We all know someone elderly and or high risk. Do it for them! Would definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

Love this place visit daily. Quick service there was a line thought I would be there for ever waiting on our order which was a big one family of 6, We got coffee and food. And only waited for about 17 minutes which is amazing considering the line. read more

Best Iced Mocha I have had to date! So wish I had discovered this place on Vacation day one!! Fab food & prices!! read more

My vanilla latte was delicious and very fresh! They were out of the mocha flavoring but due to Covid and backorders I completely understood. Freshly ground beans! read more

Came for the coffee, stayed for the biscuit! Delicious drink and food, nice customer service. Highly recommend! read more

North End Java Stop - Sausage, egg, and cheddar cheese on a biscuit. 16oz coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

I'm biased because I love breakfast sandwiches but there is a reason this place will have a line out of the door. It's just good. I had a sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on their homemade biscuit. Delicious and filling! Can't wait to grab a coffee and try those next! read more

Fantastic coffee. Even the black espresso shines and builds fantastic lattes. Locally owned and operated. Partnered with a delicious local bakery. Friendly and inviting. read more

I think there are new owners compared to previous reviews - burgers are still in, biscuits are out. Coffee was fine and prices are good. They will fill growlers there - nice to have somewhere close by for craft beer. No ice cream at the moment which was a downer for the kids. read more

Would not recommend. Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had while being a customer. Cashier/person who took our order was nice, but everything else was horrible. Was told the wait would be 20 minutes but it was an hour long wait for 4 sandwiches and 4 coffees. The shining moment was the cook flipped off my fiancée for asking to remake a drink since they didn't mark the one decaf drink (for a pregnant lady). Upon being told this info, the cashier directly says "I don't think he flipped you off." Will never be back and sincerely hope that cook gains some kind of common decency and the cashier learns to not minimize and write off bad employee behavior. No wonder there's only three people working on such a busy weekend. read more

This place is a must try!! They open at 6:30 for you early birds that need your coffee to get ya going. The Jamaica me crazy iced coffee and cinnamon toast ice coffee are delicious and must trys!!! We also got 2 bacon egg and cheese biscuits and man these things were stacked and so good!!! The staff is also super friendly and gives off a great vibe read more

Excellent coffee & breakfast sandwiches! Be prepared to wait - it's a one man operation. It'll be worth it. Americano is fantastic, great quality coffee & 3 (16 oz) or 4 (20 oz) shots of espresso. Get the sausage, egg & cheese on brioche. The brioche is homemade. Yum!! read more

Great little hole-in-the-wall place that was in walking distance from our condo. Perfect for a quick grab of coffee, breakfast sandwich, hot lunch sandwich, pre-made salad or desert. Loved seeing the option of grabbing a protein shake as well! Family working together was really cool as well :) Highly recommended this small, local business! read more

Our VRBO was across the street from this busy coffee shop. Sitting in the middle of many condo units this place gets you going if you don't have your own groceries. The owner is a long time local who can tell you stories about Carolina Beach. The French toast was popular with the kids, as was coffee with adults. They close at 2pm but opened back up when we banged on the door. Egg sandwiches are good. Just tell them what you're hungry for! Next time I'll try more items. Good luck with hurricane Dorian! read more

The nicest staff ever! Crazy hard workers and the lattes were amazing. Will definitely be making this a daily stop next time we vacation here! read more

This is a really cute beach cafe! We stopped in in the late morning and the gentleman working was very nice and accommodating of our party (ex. adding an egg to my husband's burger and helping us fill my daughter's bottle). The food was good! The black bean burger was delicious and we liked the biscuits. The iced caramel latte was wonderful! Definitely a nice casual cafe. We will stop again if we come back to Carolina Beach. read more

Went here a few months back and absolutely loved the coffee that I got! I was visiting the state and needed a quick caffeine boost and this place did not disappoint! read more

Little hole in the wall coffee shop that also has a limited menu of breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beer. The owner was very nice and helpful. Works really hard, because he was only one making drinks and I didn't have to wait long, even when he was busy. Also, looks like this shop is moving into a larger building next door. Dogs are allowed. Can't serve ice cream for now b/c machine damaged in 2018 hurricane but will serve in new place. No biscuits. I had French toast, was great. read more

Had an awesome BLT. Great coffee place for the wife. Also have little store there, to pick up few necessities.

I've had a hard time finding good coffee in the south, the coffee is either too weak or just too bland. This isn't the case at the North end Java shop. This place has great coffee. As a person who comes from the south west where we like our coffee bold and flavorful, The north in Java stop did the job for me. Great place to enjoy either a hot coffee or an iced coffee. read more

Wonderful drip coffee & lattes! Cute little place. We went to all the coffee shops at our trip in Carolina beach and this one is definitely the best!!! read more

A great little spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and grab a breakfast sandwich or muffin. Eric is super friendly, and the coffee is all locally roasted. read more

Hours are early close for us, we are coffee all day drinkers. Staff very friendly and small town feel to shop.

Just a wonderful place, ate here 3 times during our trip, very welcoming and friendly even though they are generally swamped all morning , call in your order if you can. Great selection of coffees and lattes read more

So very disappointed in our experience as a whole! They were busy, and their espresso machine only pulls 2 shots at a time so it is made to make a lot of drinks fast, but that's fine-is rather support a small business vs a chain any day. The problem was we waited over 30 minutes for 4 drinks. The employee behind the counter continued to take orders which consisted of sandwiches and drinks instead of make drinks that people had already ordered! Before he began making our drinks, he had over 8 drinks that he needed to make! Our order was 3 iced Americanos with white chocolate and cream and 1 iced Americano with Almond Joy (chocolate and coconut). The people behind us food came up and he began to look for them after he called their name instead of just leaving it on the bar. They then came in and the lady asked for their iced coffee and he immediately fixed them. My sister chimes in and says "you can just make the other 3 of ours iced coffee if it's easier on you!" To which he rude snaps back and says "I'll get to your drinks in a minute ma'am!" Mumbles something and then says "just give me a minute and be patient!" We had already waited 20 minutes. He then tells us that the drink he gave me which was supposed to be the Almond Joy was only an americano with chocolate and he would make mine correctly with the chocolate and coconut. We didn't order dark chocolate americanos, and we had to specify twice when ordering that we wanted white chocolate, but because it had been right at 30 minutes since we ordered he had forgotten and also wrote them wrong on the cups! Our drinks were not only fixed incorrectly, but we waited forever and when we tried to just settle for something faster and cheaper we were given a major attitude! $20 for 4 drinks that were all fixed wrong. We didn't correct him because of the amount of time we had already stood around. We won't be back! read more

This is a great little coffee shop! Owner is super nice and makes a great cup of coffee. We will definitely be back on our next trip.

Really like this place I just discovered, and their coffee (which I believe is Island) is very good, and they are reasonably priced. It's a good value, truly. And Rhonda and Eric, the owner, is super nice and informative on the products there. Plus, I love some good local ice cream, so they have other stuff, too. Check it out if you're on the North end.

I was searching for a good coffee shop close to my hotel and found this place. Not only was the coffee amazing, so was the employee! Definitely a good start to my morning. I highly recommend if you are looking for a good coffee and friendly service!! read more

Just had the most amazing scratch made biscuits from the Java Shop! Cold brew and espresso are also top notch. If you're staying on the north end of the beach, make this your first stop in the morning. read more

Went to get breakfast yesterday the service was amazing! The young man was short staffed but worked hard to fulfill our order! He smiled the whole time you would never know that he was the only one working!The coffee was delicious, French toast was perfection, and the breakfast sandwich was awesome! Wish we would've known about this place sooner on our vacation. We would've went everyday! read more

Great little place, with great options and reasonable prices! Loved the milky way iced latte!

Wish we had found it at the beginning of our vacation! Would have gone everyday!!! Best coffee, we LOVED our iced lattes. French toast and Bagel-egg & sausage sandwich was amazing!! Loved our HUGE Chocolate chip cookies! Eric was working alone, juggling coffee and preparing food orders. He was so calm and always smiling:) You would have never known they were short staffed. He is AWESOME!! We will go back everyday next time we are in town!! LOVED IT!! read more
