Cafe Koa & Market 302 North Howe Street, Southport, NC 28461

"Such an eclectic, imaginative and delicious menu! Hey Jude with the sweet potato waffle fries loaded with two eggs, pico, cilantro, avocado, Thai chili sauce, and we subbed bacon for the spam and it was nice crispy bacon was such a fantastic treat! Shrimp tacos were good. Pancakes were delish! Probably their best seller is the trash can nachos with so many options! Check out the menu and this place along with her other restaurants—is definitely worth the trip. Caleb was a great server both times we ate here. The chai cake was ok, but seems a bit pricey at $9/slice."

"First time here and food was delicious. Savannah was an awesome waitress. We had the chicken rock n bowl and sledgehammer burger. Will dine again to try the tacos."

"Our server Holly was fantastic. Told us the specials, filled our coffee without fail, and took away the dirty plates so we weren't crammed at a small table with a bunch of dirty plates. Groovy atmosphere very artistic, and very friendly people working there from the hostess to the waitress everybody was smiling and friendly. The pancakes were light and fluffy the Jackie Blue was a delicious dish with everything plus the kitchen sink:-) the only thing I would change is the butter tasting spread, the syrup came in a little glass jar which was nice because you're not wasting the environment on single-use plastic Solo cups, but the little plastic cup of spread could have just been a little glass jar of half filled with real butter for the pancakes. We definitely did not leave there hungry. Come early because there is a wait every weekend for this delicious food and friendly atmosphere."

"Great spot! The dishes are creative, staff are friendly and space is nice. We were a group of 6 and they let us spread out comfortably since they were not busy. We got one special, garlic & herb cheese curds - delicious! Ramen was excellent along with the mahi tacos and various nachos we got. It was a struggle not to dive into a piece of the pumpkin cake on the counter but we were all stuffed! Trash can nachos were fun as well. The ONLY critique I had was that the Ahi Tuna plate was cooked medium. Every other Ahi dish I've ever had has been seared and rare in the middle but this was cooked full through and just a little bit of pink in the center. It didn't taste bad but it was a bit dry and not what I was expecting. Otherwise, excellent experience!"
