11 Best Coffee Shops near Ocean Isle Beach

“Honestly, a wonderful hub of activity for the local community. I often see many gather and hang out in the morning. And as I wait for my food I see that they often recognize their regulars and their typical orders. They are welcoming to all, and they have great coffee, pastries and not to mention their delicious breakfast sandwiches. They also carry local brands, such as Raw Salsa. It really feels like shopping Small and supporting our community. Looking forward to a pizza night sometime.“

“Best food and service around 💜“

“Best smashed burger I’ve ever had!! I asked them to add an egg and they said absolutely! It was soooo delicious! Then I had to get chocolate croissants and apple fritters to go because they looked amazing! The service was fast and everyone was so nice. I will come back here every time I visit!“

“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!“

“I frequent often, and love my "Casper". Mrs. Sue and all the staff are so friendly, courteous, and super efficient. I love Jumpin' Java! I highly recommend if you love a great cup of coffee ☕“

“You have got to pet the little girl on the counter!!! She's adorable! Just a little gray 7 year old puppy! I can't think of her name right now, and I didn't get a picture of her....but you won't be able to miss her! The owners were super cool! They have been to football games here where I live. Lol I'm all the way on the other side of the state. Small world! Enjoyable visit to this spot.“

“Got a macchiato and a cappuccino. 2 small coffees cost as much as coffee from Starbucks (and yeah those are a con). It pains me to say that I would probably rather the Starbucks coffee as these were a tad too sour to ignore ESPECIALLY at that price. Regardless, it’s a local joint and I wish them the best. Cheers ☕️“

“I really enjoy visiting Sea Trail. I visit at least 4 times a year. The course renovations are a good start, wish you could finish though. You cut down so many trees, but left all the roots! And you buried cart paths, tar and all. How much more cost would it have been to remove tree roots and cart paths? And where is the driving range??? With 3 courses, you need a range!!!!!“

“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 ":^(“

“Best ice cream of any McDonald's we have ever been to. Some taste very strong of the chemicals but this experience beats any childhood memory. They have the best Dr Pepper as well. Whomever has trained this facility to operate and function deserves nothing less than 5 stars. We would drive hours to experience the love put into their product. It is worth the wait, if you have one!!“
