Such a quaint place. The architecture is adorable and the patio is calming, especially with the beautiful big tree that provides shade. Coming from someone who's picky about coffee, theirs has a nice taste. I ordered a plain iced latte.

Awesome little coffeehouse! Nice view and delicious Sunny Beaches smoothies and Pretty Drink tea! Not inside Neuse Sport Shop like Google maps says.

The walk-ins window was not attended when I got there only the drive thru so I had to wait a few minutes before someone acknowledge me. So you better be patient if you are walking here. They have a nice patio chairs and tables where you can enjoy your drink. I got the Pretty drink, although I was skeptical at the begining of all these different flavors in one drink, I was pleasantly surprise how good it was. The drink is very pretty as the name states it, but the flavors can be deleted one at the time. It was very good and I highly recommend this drink to anyone who wants something refreshing and Sweet! Prices are very affordable. I don't leave around here but I stopped next door and saw all the cars driving by, so I figured it can't be bad and yes, I was right. If I'm ever in this area again, I will definitely stop by again.

Best coffee in town! The cold brew is super smooth and if you go enough, they know your order when you pull up.
