I had the BEST avocado toast from there today. Haley, one of the girls working is the sweetest human ever. Plus she made the best avocado toast. I will be back!!!!
This is not a nitro cold brew…. It was served with ice and had a straw (both not a “thing” with nitros) … and the ice melted within 2 min, so basically I just got served warm coffee with ice for $5.25…
Update after owner reply: To me it makes no sense that because other people request something the way it isn’t supposed to be served that that becomes universal without asking. Having been a server myself for 15 years up until COVID last year, the barista should have asked, “Usually this isn’t served with ice but we sometimes get requests for it… how would you like it served?”. I don’t assume that my customers all want things modified in the same way off of what the menu describes. Calling something “nitro cold brew” suggests something specific, which this wasn’t. I find the reply dismissive and discouraging so have no need to return to get another since I was grabbing it for a visiting friend (who drinks it regularly and was like, what the heck is this??!).
First off staff was great, prompt, and very nice. The coffee was disappointing. I got the Spicy Mocha and the flavor was swirled around the cup. The swirls looked very pretty and yummy but the honey and mocha were impossible to stir and sat on the bottom or stuck to the sides. I just tasted the espresso and milk and the espresso is not good. I don't know if it sat too long and died or if the pull isn't calibrated correctly but it was not smooth. I will try Coastal again because of their customer service and they have so much more on their menu.
Perfect place to get your caffeine fix so you won't fall asleep when your kids drag you onto the ferris wheel at fantasy island. If coffee isn't your kinda thing, definitely go with their lemonades. Don't be scared to try the charcoal one. It's delicious and I feel like I'm getting my teeth whitening done at the same time. 10/10 would recommend
Update: I added an additional star because of the response from owner and refund. Customer service goes a long way and I appreciate the owner responding and providing a refund! I hope to try this place again and be able to add more positive feedback in the future!
First impressions: very cutely decorated. Beachy/ coastal feel. Lots of unique menu options.
I ordered 3 Hawaiian shaved ices. The two people working were very kind and polite. When it came time to make the ices, the person used her bare hands with rings, bracelets, long finger nails and all to scoop up the ice and put it in the bowl. I politely asked her if she could use gloves and she said it was hard to hold onto the ice with the gloves and that she had just washed her hands but she obliged. Rather than making the ices over, she just used gloves to scoop up the last little bits of ice and handed them over. When I looked down, one had a hair in it so I asked if they could make it over. She made it over for me but I felt as though both people working were getting annoyed. The ices were for my children so I wanted to be sure they were handled properly and safely. We ended up not eating any of them which was unfortunate for $15+.
I was so looking forward to checking out this adorable coffee shop - great name and very nice aesthetics. Unfortunately the barista was super rude and there are plenty of other coffee shops on the island. I don’t plan on returning. This experience has me writing my first ever bad review
The girls here are super sweet and kind! They made my first experience to LBI a pleasant one and helped me feel welcome as a tourist. Their drinks are really refreshing on a hot summer day! Check them out

Service here can be hit or miss. But it’s always a stop when I’m in town. I love the avocado toast, coffees, fun coffee drinks, and smoothie bowls

Great for crafted hot/cold coffees, teas and other drinks. They also make healthy sandwiches and bowls.
Highly Recommended
