What Our Guest Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 49 reviews Kristina Komsic2025-08-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found this gem in the way home from OBX. The place was beautiful!!! Very bright and clean and although big, felt very cozy!!! We had the sunrise platter and it was FANTASTIC!!! The homemade biscuits were really so delicious and the lattes hit the spot - they even had sugar-free flavors for my mom. The people were so kind and welcoming. We had just left OBX because of mandatory evacuations so we were pretty bummed but this place added a little sunshine to our day!

Very convenient! Kimberly Berg2025-08-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stopped here on our way back from the Outer Banks and were blown away by the tasty breakfast biscuits, coffee, and hospitality. The ladies working were so lovely, and one even made me a special butterscotch cold foam for my iced latte! Try the blueberry biscuits, they are wonderful. P. S. They also stock Chapel Hill Toffee in their market if you’re looking for an extra sweet treat. Denise Chernoff2025-07-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a gem of a find. I travel across the south in search of the best biscuit and have reviewed many places, including some of the acclaimed best, this blows them out of the water. The biscuit is the right mix of butter and buttermilk, soft and fluffy yet a bit of buttery crisp on the outside. Perfect combination to make a top 5 biscuit in NC SC TN area!!! Coffee is delicious too, if you like drip coffee, you know a good cup when you have one!!! They offer breakfast and lunch in a spacious environment that if you don’t look hard enough you may miss. Grab a cup of coffee and take A walk on the riverbank boardwalk, or sit outside in the inviting patio and watch the water! Or choose a seat at one of the many I door tables!!! We almost missed this place because it does not have the large signage up yet that the owner assured Me her sons are going to take care of! Make sure you stop here in your way to or from OBX or just stay on Columbia and come here! A MUST put on your list! Just put into google maps and press go, you will not regret it!!!
