Surf City Market

Surf City Market opened recently on North Topsail Drive and is more than the convenience store it resembles from the road. It’s a small gourmet market and bottle shop with a wine bar, on the island in Surf City.

What stands out

Its early reviews are few but consistent. Shoppers expected a quick mart and found artisan cheeses, charcuterie supplies, wine, harder-to-find beers and hot sauces. Beach toys, games, coolers and gifts fill out the shelves. It’s new, so expect the range to keep changing.

What to pick up

• Cheese, charcuterie and a bottle of wineThe combination visitors mention most.

• Frozen seafood and steaksWild-caught frozen seafood and premium frozen steaks for the grill.
