Mavericks Java

Great place to get coffee. My wife and I stopped here on our way back to our beach house and the lady was very kind to help us choose the coffee. Plus their coffee is fantastic. The lady behind the counter was super knowledgeable and was able to explain to us. We traditionally find a coffee spot at the beach to get coffee in the mornings and we just found our new place.

When we first moved here this was a great place to go for coffee and bagels but has since dropped in quality and service. The coffee the last two visits was undrinkable with a lot of grounds in the bottom of the cups. The last visit there was no splenda and when asked by several customers, the owner simply stated that they had run out. How do you run out? There is a grocery store within 2 miles of here. While very friendly, I feel like the owner doesn't care much and just wants to get by. A real shame.

Consider this a warning. Do not step foot in this place. Food: mediocre at best. They offered whole grain pancakes instead of regular pancakes. Normal people eat pancakes BECAUSE they’re sweet...no one wants whole grain to be the only option. Each of our three plates came out completely separate times. And by that I mean 15 min apart for each of them. Who does that? Coffee was okay. No speciality or quality coffee. Must pay $1 for a refill. Which is not worth it for mediocre coffee. Service: incompetent. They completely forgot about my latte and I had to go up and ask them again. They didn’t even remember what I ordered. Lastly: absolutely no decor appeal. This place has no idea what it is. Nothing matches and who in the world has a Zoltar machine in the restaurant. Oh, and was out of order. If you want a good breakfast place, I suggest hitting up Blueberry Grill in North Myrtle Beach. Phenomenal.

Simply do not understand the rave 5 star reviews. Being wowed by this place simply is impossible. I mean, not bad, like some say, could make coffee at home that tastes the same. Employees pleasant enough, price fair for what it is. Don’t get the excitement over the food either. Their selection is nonexistent. Just be real, don’t overinflate it just to be nice. “OK” comes to mind when describing this place, employees, and product. Not memorable. You’ll forget about it once you leave and write your review. But it is in a convenient spot.
