The lighting is great, there's plenty of comfortable workspace, and the reading nooks make it feel warm and inviting. The coffee was excellent. I ordered the Maple Tide exactly as it comes, and it was delicious. The latte was not overly sweet and had a really distinct vanilla and maple flavor that tasted balanced and well crafted. I'm already excited to go back and try more of their drinks, especially a straight espresso. The location is also perfect. It's just tucked away enough that you don't have to fight traffic or stress about parking, but still close enough to the main road that it's an easy stop without going out of your way. It's close enough to Emerald Isle to become a regular stop for island locals or anyone heading across the bridge. The owner was incredibly friendly and really adds to the welcoming local atmosphere. I absolutely love the bookstore coffee shop concept, and I'll definitely be back.

Upon walking in, we were greeted warmly and with a smiling face. While we waited for our orders, we noticed a quiet, casual environment that could bring peace to a stressful day; even if only for a few minutes. The coffee was quite tasty with notes of chocolate and oat milk. Not overpowering by any means and the coffee was the star of the show. Just what we wanted. Great job by the staff and great experience overall.

The moment we arrived, I felt like I had accidentally entered a time machine and landed somewhere in the 1990s. Numbers for wait management? Being called by your number? Classic diner-style seating and service? Even the checkout experience had strong "please rewind the VHS" energy. And honestly, I loved it. The food was fantastic. The shrimp and grits were amazing, especially with the buttery toast. The chicken sandwich was absolutely on point, and the waffles were perfectly crunchy and delicious. Now, the 3% credit card fee did try to bring me back to 2026 for a moment. But after that food, I think I can emotionally recover. If you're anywhere around Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, or Indian Beach, do yourself a favor and stop here. Come hungry, be prepared to wait a little, embrace the 90s experience, and enjoy some seriously good food. Would definitely come back. Just don't ask me to explain what a VHS tape is.

My wife had the Hawaiian Chicken Sandwich and steak fries which was delicious. My son had a hamburger cooked the way he liked it and fried and he enjoyed it. If that was all they had, it would've been great, but this is where I start talking about the fried mushrooms. Honestly, we were not ready for how awesome those fried mushrooms were. They were delicious and they were well cooked. They were perfectly crispy and the sauce was delicious. They should really talk more about those in their menu because that was the key note to this entire meal. I haven't seen fried mushrooms that big. They were absolutely delicious. We got this as a takeout and they were amazing, so I can only imagine what they were like. If we would've got them served to us hot and fresh from the kitchen. The restaurant was nice very well equipped, and everything was very clean. The servers and waitresses were very friendly and definitely made the visit. Very fun. I highly recommend this place and when we come again, we're going to realize that their meals are so generously portion. We probably could've ordered half of what we had and still ate like royalty.

There is a lot of seating available outside on picnic tables with umbrellas for shade (there are also tables inside). I got the vegetarian wrap, but in order to make the vegan I did ask for it without the pesto cream cheese, which meant it was rather bland. Unfortunately, the only other potentially vegan option was their beyond burger. However, they didn't carry any vegan cheese or vegan sauces (aside from ketchup), which was disappointing. In the future I think I would get the beyond burger anyway, as it would at the very least have some protein. Everyone else in my party seemed quite happy with their meals, so likely their non-vegan food is great. Their coffee was also pretty good (and they had oat milk & almond milk available as cows milk alternatives). I will say, the marinated cucumbers were fantastic, and again, the prices were great. Just wish that they had at least one menu item which was fully vegan without modifications. Maybe a hummus wrap?
