59 Causeway Drive Bagels and Coffee

If I lived in OIB, 59 Causeway is where I would hang out. I wouldn't leave until the place closed. They would be so sick of me. In the morning, they serve delicious bagels and the best coffee in town. My wife doesn't even like bagels, and she ate 59 Causeway's bagels two mornings in a row. At some point during the day, the bar opens and there's booze! Is this heaven? Maybe. I don't know how the afterlife works. The atmosphere is laid back and the staff is friendly without being creepy please-leave-a-good-tip friendly. There are great views of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and a nice patio deck. 59 Causeway is one of my favorite places in OIB. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

First timers here. Walked in, stood at the door uncertain if you get seated or how they operate. After standing a while a customer at one of the tables said to go around the corner and order at the counter. No signs/directions on how this establishment works; confusing. Their menu offers cinnamon rolls and at 10am they didnt have any. I ordered a latte, came out a cappuccino and very heavy espresso. Only a very small choice of bagels. Bagels very dry, scrambled eggs wet and mediocre. Not a fan.

5 stars all the way around. Staff was super sweet and accommodating. The Flower Bouquet Latte was the best latte I've ever had 😍 Bagel sandwiches are super yummy as well. I will definitely be back.

Stopped in and grabbed brunch on our way out of Ocean Isle. Had a mexican breakfast bowl with eggs, hash browns, sausage, cheese, jalepenos, salsa, etc. It was so good! Just wish the inside seating area was a little bigger with more tables but still has amazing food and drinks!

Update June 2025. I'm now hooked on their jalapeno bagels with bacon and scallion schmear. The jalapenos have a little heat (not much, but enough to taste and enjoy). Their drip coffee is pretty good, but their espresso is pretty bitter. I enjoy espresso that is strong and flavorful, but smooth. Theirs is not. Good coffee, tasty bagels. I enjoyed the drip coffee and my everything bagel with jalapeno schmear. Everyone's taste palate is different, and I'm sure it's hard to please everyone - I was hoping for a lot more kick - I could see the pieces of jalapeno in the spread, but I didn't detect any heat. I enjoy hot and spicy and was hoping for at least a little warmth. Nonetheless, the everything bagel was still very good!
