There was a long line, but the breakfast sando we had here was super tasty. Coffee wasn't bad (wasn't great) either. We'd come back...

We stopped here this morning for a quick breakfast on our first morning in OBX and oh my goodness, soooo good. I had the breakfast bowl with a peppermint bark iced latte. I want to have the bowl every morning forever and it was one of the best lattes I've EVER had!! The customer service was amazing!! We're from CT and can't get over the prices, so inexpensive. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone!!!!
