The interior has been updated with a pop of color, new floors and will include cabinets and a coffee bar. According to the business’s Instagram page, customers can expect coffee, smoothies, sweet tea and “groovy handmade stuff.”

Burlap coffee bags from South America are decorated along the walls, along with bamboo siding. The 475 square foot shop is situated between Hi-Tech Arcade and Jack Mackerels Island Grill in the Kure Beach business district.

This will be the first coffee-specific shop for Kure Beach residents, who would otherwise need to travel into Carolina Beach for a caffeine fix.
