“The food is amazing! I can’t believe this place is a mini mart. I am so glad we stopped in to grab a few drinks. What is nice about this place is that you can eat outside and watch the action at the marina. On top of great food and a relaxing atmosphere are some of the nicest people you will ever meet who know what great customer service is. What a great place to unwind. Thank you. Those are the kind of positive beach vibes the world needs.”

They were eager to help me find what I was looking for and even gave me recommendations on a few products. Wish I remembered the names of the two ladies that helped me, but thank you to you both!!!”

“We visited Carolina Beach and ran out of pods so my beau went to Scotchman to get us some coffee. Can you believe you can get two large coffees for $3.00 & change! They use beans freshly ground and you’ve got a decaf, light, dark & medium roast to choose from. Plus you’ve got a variety of creamers & sugar to make the way you want. I added my own creamer once we got back to the condo.”

“Not sure the guys name working late night tonight 7/3. But I really appreciate how hard working he is. Line around the corner and the guy never loses his cool. The management should be proud ? also shout out to the manager bc I've seen him working just as hard during the day and really think it's cool that they run such a tight ship and no nonsense there. It's hard to find solid staff and no one ever acknowledges when you're doing a good job so credit is due to you guys. Keep up the hard work. The locals are noticing”
