Island Jo Coffee & Cafe

We've been stopping here for breakfast everytime we come to Oak Island. The sandwiches are really good and they use real eggs. The service is fast and cant be in and out in less than 10 minutes. We will continue to come here in the future

We only come to Oak Island every so often but we've stopped here for breakfast before and I knew I had to come back. The breakfast sandwiches are absolutely delicious and worth remembering. Highly recommend stopping in before heading to the beach!

I haven't been in a while and was craving a chai tea latte, I ended up ordering a bunch of food and a bunch of coffee for others. It's on the pricey side but everything we got was absolutely amazing. You just don't get service like that everywhere. Worth the stop.

When anyone visits me on Oak Island, I make sure to introduce them to Island Jo. Avocado Toast is my favorite. Arrive early.

Food is good but $10+ for a breakfast sandwich is outrageous. Plus, they microwave their eggs and use cheap cheese.Bothers me that they charge that much for a basic breakfast sandwich.

Amazing coffee!!! Awesome service!!! Breakfast sandwiches were great too!

They have the best Sausage Egg and Cheese bagel in existence. The Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Croissant is also amazing. One of Oak Islands finest.

July 2025 update - question, are the bagels different these days? Also, not a fan of your new sausage patties. Your old ones were elite

Tried three times this weekend to place an order.
Always says not accepting orders
Cannot order over the phone.

Last owners were much better at customer service

My family and I visit Oak Island annually for our family vacation and we make sure we book our property rental close enough to frequent Island Jo’s during our stay. Our group is about 20-30 people and we all love it here. The food is delicious and their coffee is better than any Starbucks I’ve been to. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Our trip is coming up and I can’t wait for my first breakfast stop at Island Jo’s!

Really enjoyed our time at Island Jo.

Once you order, if it’s busy it’s a bit of a wait but be patient…it’s well worth it.

The coffee is incredible, bagels are fresh, and my wife’s sourdough breakfast sandwich was awesome.

It’s worth everything!

A cozy must‑visit for coffee lovers and early riders—great coffee, bagels, and friendly vibes. Perfect for a pre‑ ride pick‑me‑up! I run e‑bike tours (Cycle‑logical Tours) and would love to send riders your way and explore a partnership.
