A Taste of Sunrise Coffee House

What a local gem! This amazing coffee shop in Hampstead can be easy to miss due to its location off 17. It’s in the back of the little strip plaza across from CVS, past the gym. Eric is amazing, their seasonal coffee menu was diverse and so tasty. These aren’t Starbucks grade beans, these are the real deal. They also have a nice array of gifts to shop from and a very private conference room for meetings, when you need more privacy. Let’s patronize our locally owned, small businesses instead of the commercial giants whenever possible. My business will remain here, hope others enjoy as much as we do.

What a pleasant surprise! Love this place! As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by friends and family with smiles. This coffee shop is definitely a home away from home kind of feel. From leather sofas, cute table sets, meeting rooms, and Christmas decor, you get a real sense of peace and comfort. The seasonal coffee with chocolate undertones was a delight and was what I needed from such a long drive. We spent over two hours here taking photos and seeing family. The staff here are welcoming and so generous. The business supports Veterans and offers military discounts! Can’t wait to meet Eric, the owner someday to thank him for his service and as a fire fighter. True American hero. Jesalyn, served us our coffee and assisted with all sorts of keto friendly options such as sugar free flavored syrups. Delicious! I suggested to have old Christmas favorites playing on the television such as Miracle on 34th Street or It’s a Wonderful Life, the. I would have asked for a job and never left. The business supports local venders and community by selling a variety of favorites such as cute smiley face hand bags, jam, mugs, art work, photos, cards, and other gifts. Suggest stopping in for a coffee or setting up your workspace and sitting for a while.

We had a very pleasant experience at this local coffeehouse. The exterior of this coffee house is reminiscent of a beach bungalow house or a local beach restaurant in St Augustine Florida. Yet, the ambience inside has a cozy and inviting home presence with a comfortable leather couch, festive home decor & furniture, and friendly staff. Jesalyn, our server, was very amicable, calm, professional, and recommended the Winter Wonderland seasonal coffee with chocolate & hazelnut flavors. We both ordered it and spent about two hours there. Service was efficient yet peaceful even when there was a flow of traffic after we were served. Time flew fast there and yet the environment always maintained a sense of serenity despite the flow of people coming in the coffeehouse. There are different vendors with many items to select for purchase from art to accessories. The colorful bags with the smiley faces promoting mental health awareness caught my eye at one of the vendor areas there. I love that the coffeehouse is veteran owned, decorated for Christmas, and has an eclectic mix of handmade items and local art pieces. This is definitely a local business & coffeehouse to visit again in the future.

A Taste of Sunrise Coffee House is such a lovely hangout space that makes it true to name, a coffee house. I lead an older kids/teens homeschool group all of southeastern NC so we now have met twice for games and hang out. I highly recommend you request the back room for your group. My son and I enjoyed smoothies on both visits. The service is inviting and warm from everyone working to serve you. The space is spacious and cozy.

The atmosphere is cozy and clean! Very accommodating and lots of seating. It’s quiet and comfortable. It’s a great place to have coffee, read a book, study etc. I spent the last 5 hours there studying with a friend and it was the perfect environment for it. The food was good and they have great gluten free options! Coffee was delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. I can’t say enough good things.
