Starbucks — Surf City Hwy 210 & Hwy 50
This standalone Starbucks sits at the NC 210 and NC 50 intersection on the Surf City mainland, with a drive-through and evening coffee hours. It’s the dependable choice for an early start or an evening drink before the drive back over the bridge.
What stands out
Locals value it as a coffee stop with a drive-through that stays open into the evening. It’s a newer, attractive store, and its staff are generally praised. Two recent reviews describe a slow counter and a remade order, so consider ordering ahead at busy times.
