Amazing place, way more than just a coffee shop. We visit every time we are nearby for the great food (vegetarian options) as well as coffee and draft; Very cool atmosphere as well.

I wanted to love this place so much. It's super cute with an amazing vibe and aesthetic. The staff were super friendly. Now we didn't order food so I can't comment on that. We ordered two coffees and they were the worst coffees we have had in a while which sucks. We ordered a hot caramel latte with cow milk And an iced latte with almond milk. They were made in about a minute which made me go uh oh and unfortunately tasted like pure milk. It's almost like there was no espresso and just a splash of normal coffee. Or made from a pre made machine. Not a review for people to avoid this place because like I said it really is super cute just maybe check the strength / taste of coffee before you leave.

We usually stop in and get food on our trips. We tell people to get coffee here in our rental guidebooks. We ordered food for our family (on our second visit this week) and asked for ice waters to go with them from the person ringing us up that was drinking iced water from a branded cup. We were told they "can't let us have any water. It's company policy. We can only have ice." We've never been to a coffee shop that doesn't have this available for free or a minimal charge to cover the cost of the cup. I get that they want to charge $2+ per water, but as a large family, that would be almost $20 with tax for waters. That's just silly. Ironically, they give out free water for dogs.. just not humans. We'll frequent Beach Girl coffee from here on out and take advantage of their rewards program, free waters, and free stickers for kids.

The place is not only super cute inside and severed friendly but the coffee made it even better. I got the salted Carmel and they didn't have a sugar free option so i got it Half sweet. It was Amazing!

The food was very good and nicely put together the service was pretty quick as well which I was very fond of. The atmosphere was very loud since the many people but it was very beautiful on the inside and clean as well. My biscuits and gravy was very nice!

Both Holiday flavors are worth skipping year through offering on occasions. Savor each experience, enjoy & grind on. Be Sure to Like on FB & Tell

No need to waste your time waiting 45 minutes in line at the local franchise Starbucks when you get better tasting coffee, cookies, treats and breakfast at this unique coffee restaurant. Plus you can buy grandma and the kids quality souvenirs. Staff are friendly and the place is clean. Great little coffee shop to escape the crowds.

First off my family likes this place and the awesome vacation vibe it provides. However the quality of drinks for the price can be inconsistent and the customer service was extremely poor. One example was them refusing to give my daughter a glass of tap water. Which most coffee places have already out and complimentary. I was shocked and decided to verify, yes they refused and told her if she wanted water she have to buy a bottle for $3. I don't inherently get upset about it and I didn't but thought I would write this review to inform others of my experience. Feel free to come and enjoy the offerings just don't be shocked by lack of customer service.

Our host recommended this place and we loved it! The atmosphere was casual and the food was great. We had the Asiago bagel sandwich and the caramel macchiato. The service was fast and good for a busy weekend. Will definitely go back.

Food was good but pricey. I was quite disgusted to see a transaction processing fee on my receipt. I guess it was for using a credit card but i didn't think they could legally pass on a credit card fee. I saw a sign saying they gave a discount for cash but never saw a sign saying I would be charged more if i used my credit card. I think non disclosure or hidden fees is a little shady.

Had an early lunch to escape the electrical work in my home. This is a laid back beachy coffee shop that serves breakfast, lunch, baked goods and ice cream in addition to coffee drinks, smoothies and tea. Today was super quiet with school back in session! Staff accommodated my request for a light toast on the panini since I just had a root canal. I love looking at all the beachy decor and gain inspiration each time I relax here. This Wharf location is super busy in summer but has outside porch seating with umbrellas when its cool and for those with doggos! Total bill for all pictured was $17.04 and I happily left a tip for the counter staff. fyi There's a second location on the beach road at Hotel Indigo.
