Wonderful experience!!!…read more The restaurant is so cute! Very spacious, clean, fun decorations and playing country music. The ladies who work there are so nice and personable!!! They have lots of sweets available: soooo many flavors of truffles, cheese cake, a whole display of taffy (you can fill up a bag of any flavors for $10). They also have a case of ice cream. We went for breakfast. They had soooo many coffee options and so many flavors to add. They also have a case of donuts and muffins. Lots of flavors. The glaze donut was soooo good. Not cakey at all and not too sweet. Very light and flakey! We also got a muffin that was delicious- very moist! Would go back!

When asked for allergen information, she rudely responded saying the information was unavailable. It seems unacceptable and unsafe that zero allergen information would be available for their products. With that being said, I would have been a lot more accepting of that if the employee had been friendly and had at least made an attempt to help. No greeting, no goodbye, just very unpleasant. A positive- my son did enjoy his truffle.

This was the first time we've tried Burney's Southport location, but we have enjoyed the croissants…read morebefore from their other locations. While visiting Oak Island, we hopped over to Southport and stopped at Burney's for a gingerbread croissant and an apple fritter. The croissant was very good, easily 4 stars, but seemed a little smaller than what we've had in the past. I got to try a bite and liked that it wasn't over-the-top sweet. The apple fritter wasn't as good. It was huge, but didn't seem totally done in the middle and the edges weren't as crisp as they could be. I threw half of it away. The apple fritter rated 2 stars. For this trip to Burney's, it's a 3-star experience. In fairness, we always think of croissants when we think of Burney's so perhaps trying an apple fritter wasn't totally fair?

There were so many options but since I had yet to try the cinnamon rolls I ordered one plain and one with pecans. They were delicious! Massive roll and she gives you extra icing. The pecan one didn't need extra because it was soaking in its own heavenly gooey deliciousness. We will be making this a regular stop each time we are here .

I now know that you can place an online order the day before and rest assured your cinnamon rolls will be waiting for pickup in the morning! I'm embarrassed that I didn't take any photos of the 6 cinnamon rolls: 3 plain ($5.99 each) that come with individual containers of icing, and 3 pecan praline ($6.99 each) The cinnamon rolls are HUGE. I got them for my family - everyone loved them! If you get the pecan praline cinnamon rolls to go, be sure the individual containers lay flat in the bag. The glaze oozed out and made a mess! You truly don't want to miss out on any of it!

I hope with this review and more on other social media that Christine's business gets better known.

They had about 6 flavors of cookies. These are vegan and gluten free cookies, so I was a little hesitant to try. We decided on the double chocolate peanut butter cookie. It was huge, so we were able to share it. I really liked this cookie. It was very chunky and tasty. No dairy in it so I didn't have to deal with anything melty on a hot day. It kept well in the bag on my drive home after. I liked they had samples out to try too. I think I tried a piece with walnuts in it. Very good. The fridge case had ice cream cookie sandwiches that looked amazing too. The ladies behind the counter were friendly and made suggestions on which cookie we should try. I did really like the chocolate peanut butter. Next time I will try the chocolate chip. These are $6 each, but the cookies are quite large.
