Happy Hippies Java Hut - Kure Beach

I dropped by this morning for a coffee and was greeted by the very friendly staff in a relaxed, eclectic atmosphere. I highly recommend trying the iced flip flop—it’s a latte with peanut butter and chocolate. Just a heads-up: they only serve breakfast items like bagels on Fridays and Sundays.

The mermaid magic coffee is truly magical and tastes incredible. I ordered it iced in the largest size, and I understand why it's a trademarked flavor! I highly recommend it. It's definitely the best coffee I've ever had, and I'm sure all the other flavors and options are fantastic as well!

I would say best coffee on the island but honestly it’s the best coffee both me and my husband have ever had. We are locals and come here often. Our favorite drinks are an iced beach comber with a shot of caramel, iced beach bum (has lavender! , and their smoothies are top notch. My daughter loves the peach smoothie, ask for sprinkles and whip!

My granddaughter discovered this restaurant, intrigued by its distinctive architecture. She was so impressed that we decided to give it a try, and I ended up loving it as well! I ordered the Mermaid Magic, and it was absolutely fantastic! Now we have a new favorite place to stop by whenever we're at the pier. What a great spot! Thank you, Happy Hippies Java Hut!

I ordered a caramel macchiato one day and returned the next for the Mermaid Magic. You absolutely have to try the Mermaid Magic! I was initially a bit skeptical about how they make it or what’s in it, but trust me—it's incredible. I only wish I could take a gallon of it home with me!
