Crema's Take
“Nestled near Topsail Island, this charming hybrid of bookstore and coffee shop creates an irresistibly cozy retreat where vintage cookbooks and Harry Potter collections line the shelves alongside expertly crafted specialty drinks and homemade pastries. The genuinely warm staff—particularly known for their personalized service—treat every visitor like an old friend, making it the kind of place where locals and travelers alike find themselves returning again and again for both the exceptional coffee and the unhurried, book-filled atmosphere that begs you to stay a while.”

I love this place - I always come here when I visit Topsail Island! The employees are always super kind and helpful, and I've found some great books for my children. Even more, I think their coffee is one of the best in the area, and I've pretty much tried them all!
From Harry Potter collections to vintage cookbooks, this place is awesome! What made the experience exceptional was help from Jim. What a kind gentleman who took the time to show us around, make recommendations, and help us search for books. I can’t say enough good things about him. He is a retired English teacher and he made finding the perfect gift easy. There is an upstairs and it just feels like home up there. Highly recommend!
Wonderful bookstore with delicious coffee, homemade sweets, jams, etc. Very cozy
I LOVE this place! My family and I stopped by multiple times during our vacation this weekend. The owner and employees were very personable and customized our drinks to our preference- they were all delicious! We loved going upstairs and sitting amongst the books to relax. Great variety of adult and kid books. We will definitely be back!
Head over heels in love with this place, I wish I didn’t live so far from the beach, because I would come here everyday for a coffee and a good book. Their prices are amazing, I got so many books for such a great bargain. Their cookies and coffee is delicious. The overall atmosphere is sooooo cute and homey. The staff is so friendly and welcoming! I love, love this place!
