    Sol bowl, hang ten, driftwood coffee, offshore bowl

    A must stop for your beach vacation. Friendly staff and a wide range of options. Bowls offered gluten free granola. The ambiance is open and bright with games and couches to hangout and enjoy your treats.

    It doesn't get any better than this. If you're looking for an amazing snack or breakfast, this is the spot for you. ***LOCATION*** This beachcore health food shop is located in a tiny strip mall in Emerald Isle. 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.

    The good life açaí bowl

    This little shop is super cute! Staff was very friendly and helpful, it took a little while to get our food just because it was Labor Day weekend and it was packed out the door. The açaí bowls were very good and the amount of fresh fruit in there was nice. I also ordered the iced caramel macchiato, good coffee flavor, not too sweet!

    Pier Bowl

    ABSOLUTELY GO HERE!!! Everything about this place was great. I got a Pumpkin flavored Latte (decaf no less!) and it was PERFECT. Not overly sweet like so many places do. More is NOT always better! For my breakfast, I picked the Pier Bowl and it was both extremely tasty and also very filling (smaller size). I'll agree that they're a bit pricey, but they're using quality ingredients here. You get what you pay for... The service was quick, on point, AND friendly. The decor and atmosphere of the place just really fits the bowls/smoothies vibe. Lots of plants and decorated really cute. They've even got some local vendors' stuff for sale. Love it!

    EI smoothie in the outdoor seating area

    So good! Delicious açaí bowls with fresh fruit toppings and granola. They also have smoothies. There's something for everyone here - our toddler finished an entire smoothie on his own. The staff are so nice and helpful. Open and airy inside with some cute clothes and jewelry to purchase from local vendors. There's also some picnic benches out front if you want to eat outdoors. We stopped by for breakfast, but this would also be perfect after a day at the beach or an great alternative to grabbing some ice cream! So excited for this addition to the Island!

    Sol Bowl and The Good Life

    Stopped in for lunch before heading to the beach. Inside is very clean and nice. We had the Sol Bowl and the Good Life. Both were excellent and we loved the combinations. Definitely worth stopping in for a bite.

    Satisfy Your Soul smoothie and Ground Swell smoothie.
    Cindy A.

    Breakfast of champions this morning: highly recommend Satisfy Your Soul (on left) or Ground Swell smoothies. Make sure and add Sol Bowls to your EI agenda.

    Sol Bowl
    Samantha C.

    I've never had an Açaí bowl before but have wanted to try one for a while. Soooo glad I gave this place a try. The owner is so friendly and eager to help in any way. She recommended the bowl that the whole place is named after and it was so good. My brother got an iced latte and it was delicious too. She has a little tikes car and a little bike for kids to ride around inside and the decor is so cute. Definitely a place to return to!

    Açaí bowls

    Before we walked the beach we came to this hole in the wall açaí bowl place for a quick and easy snack. We picked up two acai bowls (Sol,Pier) to go. There is a multiple little benches to wait for your bowl, definitely beach themed. The base of the bowl leaned more dense smoothie like rather than a creamy ice cream like consistency. We found the toppings to be the perfect amount. The strawberries were sweet and added nut butter tasted phenomenal. The serving size was SPOT ON, definitely filling enough for a light bite but not enough to be be shy taking your shirt off on the beach. My wife and I will definitely be back very soon!

    This is the cutest little coffee shop!!…read more The service was really quick and the staff was really friendly! The patties we tried were really fresh and flakey and realllly good!! Oh and BIG!!! The caramel iced latte was perfect. And I know maybe you're thinking nahh she's just being kind. No! It was creamy and perfectly sweetened! I will definitely be back!!

    I really do love this place, so I want to preface this by saying this comes from someone who…read moregenuinely wants to see you all thrive. I'm a local music teacher, and I often meet potential clients here instead of Starbucks because I'd much rather support a local business. This morning (7/31/26 around 9:00 AM), I had my two girls with me, ages 3 and 1. I completely understand this coffee shop is geared more toward adults, and I don't expect anyone else to parent my children. With a little supervision, though, they're usually happy to sit in the front area with a pastry and hot chocolate while I meet my client, who today was a no show lol. Today, my hands were obviously full with a baby on my hip, so I was microwaving cinnamon rolls one at a time while making sure my 3-year-old wasn't getting into anything. That's just part of being a mom, and I didn't mind doing it. What stood out was that when I asked if there were any napkins, I was told, "Nope, I think we're out." I assumed someone might grab a paper towel or another option from the back, but after waiting a few minutes while my daughter kept saying, "Mommy, sticky," I realized that wasn't happening. I finally just told her to wipe her hands on my pants because we didn't have anything else. Then I went looking for utensils to make things a little less messy and found only one fork, so my daughter and I shared it. I know these seem like small things, but my family owned a restaurant growing up, so I also know how much the little moments shape whether someone feels cared for. We live in an area with a lot of young families, and even small gestures like having napkins stocked, keeping utensils available, or offering a paper towel when someone is clearly juggling little kids can make people feel genuinely welcomed. I'll absolutely continue coming back because I really enjoy supporting your business and bringing my students there for meetings. I just wanted to share this experience because I thought it was something the owner would want to know. I hope it's received in the spirit it's intended: not as a complaint, but as feedback from someone who truly wants to see this place continue to succeed.
