17 Best Coffee Shops near Bald Head Island

“What a delightful experience. Espresso was good and punchy. I love the kid-friendly service. Thank you!

Kid-friendliness: They offered the hot chocolate at kid temperature. Nice subtle touch for a gentle start to the morning!“

“We visited BHI this week and Mike's Bites was easily the MVP. Collectively our group of 4 consumed 56 hot dogs over four days and enjoyed the 56th as much as the first. Highly recommend the Tram and the Wipeout, but you can't go wrong anywhere on the menu. We had such an awesome experience, we got Mike to autograph our Mike's Bites shirts! Already can't wait to be back next year.“

“Sand Piper Coffee is the perfect summer stop on Bald Head Island! We tried the peach, strawberry, and wild berry smoothies—and every single one was delicious and refreshing. They also offer iced coffees and ice cream, making it a great little spot for everyone. It’s the ideal place to cool off and relax while waiting for the ferry. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Wonderful service, amazing Monte Cristo and Chicken and waffles💕💕“

“The best coffee! Their banana bread drink is the BEST! ❤️☕️“

“Jumpin Java is one of our many things we MUST have when we come to visit the beach no matter the time of year!! We love the service!!! Everything we have ever gotten here is always fantastic!! I would rather have this any day over Starbucks. Also extremely convenient for us because you’re in the neighborhood also. ❤️“

“Very nice coffee house. Excellent coffee and muffins. Breakfast sandwiches are only fair, and cannot compete with Starbacks. However, PCJ has superior coffee.“

“Have been going to the Bolivia location the last 2 days since their opening (my kids LOVE the frozen hot chocolate before school)- the staff is SO exceptional and nice. This morning I was in a hurry and didn’t realize that I didn’t get the second muffin I ordered, I didn’t worry to call and let them know but within 10 minutes I had a notification that they had refunded me the blueberry muffin I didn’t receive. Most places would not have bothered. Because of this they will continue to have my business! ❤️“

“They have the best coffee and tea around. The owner is the sweetest and is so helpful! I look forward to coming here every year!“

“Just GO!!! 😎🙃. Banana Pudding Ice Cream.“

“We had to stop in a few times during our visit. I first tried the Snickers latte which was good and inspired me to try a hand at making a butterfinger version. The ladies there where really nice and helped explore the idea.

We mixed dark chocolate, peanut, and toffee flavors. This worked out pretty well. Next time I might try 1 part dark chocolate, 2 parts peanut, and 2 parts tofee to get more of the center of a butterfinger taste. Look forward to trying next year!“

“I had an amazing iced pecan crunch oat latte made with care by Khristina Lewis, I believe
it also had protein and blonde espresso in it.
I absolutely loved it and khristian was amazing as I expressed I was exhausted had an early morning meeting and this drink hit the spot perfectly for my day. Definitely will be getting this again! Thank you so much to the early morning staff on Tuesday 10-07-2025! Y’all Rock“

“⚠️ ‼️Staff needs to be trained on service animal laws and etiquette, most specifically the middle aged brunette woman working the register 🍩The donuts were AMAZING, we didn’t eat any bagels but they looked freshly made and delicious, same for the avacado toast Coffee honestly taste the same no matter what style you get or how many pumps of syrup you request. ☕️“

“Christina was so very helpful in making my friend’s birthday cake just perfect and EVERYONE loved how it tasted! I highly recommend this bakery!!“

“Owner is always nice and the service is great!! Lots of options to choose from!“

“The British lady makes my nuggies and fries sound so fancy. McDonald's has stepped their hospitality game back up. All drive tru workers have been nice. There is a real difference going on in Southport. Good job y'all.

The prison paint job in millennial gray will never be the vibes for me.

Pro tip: British lady works most Monday Tuesdays.“
