★★★★★ 5.0 Sophia Walsh · Dec 2025

This was my first time in and I absolutely loved it! It's a very cute shop with both indoor and outdoor seating and free wifi for guests. I was instantly greeted when I came in the door and had a nice little conversation with the staff while I ordered, everyone there was very kind and welcoming. The decor itself was very cute and cozy and they had a good selection of books and related merchandise perfect for tourists and residents alike! I got a seasonal coffee and bakery item both of which were served quick and were delicious. I definitely plan on frequenting!

White Crab Coffee & Books is an absolute gem! This family-owned spot delivers on everything-warm and thoughtful décor, shelves full of great reads and gifts, seriously good coffee, and delicious pastries that you have to try. I ordered the Fa La Latte and my sister had the chai, both were incredible. And don’t even get me started on the treats: the blueberry muffin, peanut butter cookie, and crabby sugar cookie were all to die for! If you’re anywhere near Topsail, you must stop by. Honestly, it’s worth planning a trip just for this shop. Go support an amazing local business, you won’t regret it! 🦀📚☕️

My family and I are visiting Topsail beach from the Midwest and this was our first stop! Did not disappoint! We got a blueberry muffin, the chocolate chip banana bread, a piece of crumb cake, the top tart (like a pop tart but more delicious and cute nod their town) and the s’mores cookie and they were all amazing! Chef’s kiss!!! We met the owner and three of her daughters. We found out that the owner bakes everything fresh behind the scenes every day and her girls run the front. When you do stop, make sure you have enough time to check out all of their adorable merchandise. The books that you can choose from are all worth a read and the cute kids section is to die for. Their holiday menu for their coffee drinks is so cute and delicious! I had the Fa La latte and my husband had the sugar c

The cutest little spot. Indoor & Outdoor spots to sit & sip. The coffees are delicious, the smoothies are too. We've had a few of the pastries and they are yummy. Cute book selection & unique gifts. Only down side is no bathroom.

Absolutely the best coffee and book store ever! I fell in love before I even walked in. Beautiful outside and inside. Books for sale. Places to read and drink your coffee. Service was spectacular. I have all good things to say. Dog water bowls at the door. Pet friendly is a plus. I can’t wait to come back, drink coffee and read a book! Blueberry muffin is a great add! Forgot to mention, coffee is great. Fancy or regular coffee, they are all amazing
