“Cafe Ahora really takes care of their customers. Their location on Hwy 17 was closed this evening but they’d neglected to lock the door and I walked right in, desperate for a shaken espresso. I had spent almost 3 days in the hospital without coffee and really wanted a shaken espresso before I went home. But I hate being “that person”, so I apologized, and tried to leave. But the lovely couple insisted I was not imposing and proceeded to make the best shaken espresso (breve, because that’s my jam!) I’ve ever had. Thanks, guys. For making my entire day. I already love your Midway location, and now, I’ll be sure to frequent your Hwy 17 location, too!“

“My husband and I have been buying donuts here for about two years. By far the best in the area. I had to write today to tell you the crew this morning was by far the absolute best in our two years. The young lady running the crew was amazing. She was in constant contact with the two young men working with her and acknowledged just about every customer as they came in the door. To be honest it was the busiest we have seen it and we were in and out in the same amount of time we have been in the past with only one or two people in front of us, Today there were about twelve in front of us. She was friendly and it ran like a well oiled machine.“

“A very welcome addition to the island! I hated driving off island to find a good cup of coffee! (Years ago) Every year I hope Drift is still here. It is and the business is stronger than ever! *if you go around 10am-get the app and pre-order. The line is really long around 10am!“

“Yesterday was our first time at Vincent Van go Pottery, and we LOVED it. Nancy the owner is wonderful. The whole experience was terrific. Highly recommend going while visiting Holden Beach ❤️“

“Shallotte NC Starbucks ... another unhappy experience. After my wife and I paid top dollar for her caramel macchiato, my dark roast with two shots, and a bacon egg gouda to "eat in" our morning turned into "help" ... We received our bacon egg gouda in about four minutes. I received my luke warm dark roast with two shots in about eight minutes. I returned it ... only to receive another luke warm dark roast with two shots. I surrendered and drank it. Meanwhile, twenty minutes later my wife was still waiting for her caramel macchiato. We reminded the barrista ... and five minutes later my wife got her caramel macchiato. It was less than average on the taste report card. The point is we pay $$$$$ to eat our food order with our ordered coffee. They weren't even busy ... To top it off when I calmly pointed out to the barrista their failings that morning, she pushed back with excuse after excuse after excuse. She was terse. This is not the first time this has happened at the Shallotte NC StarBucks (we lost count) but it will be our last. The owner, the manager, and the crew, need customer service training and accountability. BTW I didn't mention the "pushback artist's name" because I don't want anyone fired or reprimanded ... I just wish these people would care. Dissapointed Again ":^(“
