13 Best Coffee Shops near Ocean Isle Beach

“I’ve been coming here practically since it opened and we won’t go anywhere else for coffee in the area because of it. The owners are amazing, they always have something fun and new going on. And the staff is always super nice. Also their breakfast sandwiches are crazy cheap for what you get. Just don’t try and eat it all at once!“

“Great food Great service“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great service, Great employee and Great coffee!“

“Had a hard time finding the it - there was no sign for it on the outside like in the google picture. But go in the back of the market and there it is!!!
Glad we persevered! First morning in Sunset and didn’t have coffee at the house. I am a coffee snob (not proud of it, but I really love my coffee and savor every sip). Decided to “risk it” just to get a caffeine fix.
I had the cold brew - great brand and was fabulous.
We also had the bagel sandwiches. Couldn’t give it a 5 because comparing to New York bagels and sandwiches where the bagels are awesome and egg is cracked right there. BUT - to be able to walk to this, enjoy the ocean breeze outside and dogs at our feet - I would give the atmosphere a 10 if I could.
And the people were soooo nice. We got in late, no caffeine, it took me forever to get our order correct, and they were patient and nice.
This will become a go to place for us!!!!“

“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 ☕️“

“Whether your local or visiting on vacation I highly recommend Blondies Donuts! The staff are so friendly and the donuts are delicious! (The fruity pebble being my favorite) They even did my sister in law's breakfast for her wedding day! Definitely don't miss out on this place!“

“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 ":^(“

“The best service I've had at a McDonald's in a LONG TIME? Shout out to Emily in the drive through. Her banter brightened our day!“

“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!!“
