The shop itself was very nice and had other items for sale that didn't appear to be touristy but more craft-related, and I liked the comic book items and prints on the wall since I'm a bit of a nerd. I got an espresso ice cream with some chocolate in it and in a waffle cone. It had a good flavor, and I enjoyed it greatly. The staff was young, but unlike the ice cream shop we went to in Beaufort on the trip, these young ladies seemed very friendly. I really enjoyed it and you should check it out.

Stopped into Daily Grind for breakfast after a sunrise walk on the beach, and it was the perfect…read moreway to start the day. The vibe was welcoming and exactly what you'd hope for from a local beach coffee shop. The staff were friendly and made us feel right at home. We ordered a couple of cold brews, bagels, a bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, and a cinnamon roll. Everything was fresh and hit the spot. The cinnamon roll was good, though compared to some of the best I've had I'd give it about a 7.6/10. Overall, Daily Grind is definitely worth a visit if you're in Surf City. Great coffee, friendly service, and a laid-back beach-town atmosphere make it an easy recommendation.

The coffees are wonderful- multiple days we got an iced chai with 2 shots of espresso and Nutella flavoring. It's delicious. I tried the s'mores lattes- it was pretty good, not my favorite combo they have but overall it was tasty. The food is the only thing I had wished was a little better. The eggs were not seasoned so the sandwich overall was just okay. All of the bacon was on one end of the sandwich. On a croissant it was kinda bland. The workers are all very nice and the inside is clean and fun. We definitely recommend stopping in for their drinks!!

It was the flinstones push pop of my childhood! It brought back waves of nostalgia. There were tables to sit inside and a cute selfie wall. Fudge, candy, t shirts, etc for purchase.

Cheesy fries were very limp. The nacho cheese basically is just something out of a jar, and the hot dog was a boiled and we weren't sure was completely cooked or not. We didn't get sick so I guess it was cooked. Would have been nice if they toasted the bun or at least grilled the hot dogs. I guess you get what you pay for, just simple quick food while you're at the beach.

For only $1, I was able to walk the pier and watch several fish being pulled from the ocean. The complex consists of a bait/fishing shop, gift shop and small grill serving breakfast sandwiches and hot dogs and the pier. The staff in the shop are friendly and prices to rent a fishing pole are reasonable, but you need to bring your own gear. It costs only $12 to rent a pole and fish for 24 hours and the pier is open 24/7. I walked out on the pier and was mesmerized watching the people with their poles. I saw a ray and blue pulled in and released. The people were friendly in a Southern charm way. The views from the pier are lovely. I would like to return for sunset photos. The pier has fish cleaning stations and benches to sit. A lot of birds hang out hoping for some fish. Worth a visit if you love the ocean and fishing.
