Really enjoyed our visit there. PLENTY of cool food options (savory, açaí bowls, yogurts, etc). We had a caprese toast, a Malama Smash toast, an açaí bowl and an Americano. Everything was delicious, but the Americano was a bit off (not sure if it was a product issue or user issue), but as you, this could very well have been a one off (including it being our taste bud preference). So definitely worth trying this local business out. We will definitely be back when visiting the area. Service was professional and pleasant, and cafe was clean with lots of windows and felt open and spacious!

The açaí bowl was good, a little liquified but tasted quality. The avocado toast on the other hand tasted like a premade spread similar to Wholly Guacamole. For $7.50 I expect fresh avocado! The vibe inside is chill and the workers are very friendly so points for that.

Hands down the best coffee on the island! Also their food is incredible too! They always have great specials and the soups are insanely tasty! To top it off the staff are out of this world kind and friendly! This is by far my go-to spot multiple times per week. Ive never had a bad experience here. I especially like the eco-friendly cups, plates etc. I cant say enough good things about Malama food, coffee and staff.

Mālama was such a good find! The atmosphere was so cute and fun, perfect mix of beachy and aesthetic. The shop was pretty busy when we got there but there was still lots of seating and we got our food/drinks out at a reasonable time. The food was absolutely AMAZING, highly recommend the Caprese avocado toast! The coffee was great and they have lots of milk alternatives. And their merch is super cute and affordable! Overall the vibes were very fun, great place to hang out with friends

I cannot say enough good things about this place! Super friendly and energetic staff who worked like a well oiled machine! The food was exceptional, I ordered the rise & shine croissant and the orange turmeric smoothie. I loved the smoothie soo much that I went back for another one before heading back home after my short two day stay at the beach. Super cool merch and the cafe had a chill vibe, the kind of place you just wanna sit back and hang at.

Fantastic coffee. I got a seasonal cold brew with marshmallow cold foam. Not super into sweet drinks but this sounded too good and it did not disappoint! Not too sweet at all, very subtle. Delicious! Also staff is super nice and happy to be there.

This is a nice little place just off the boardwalk on Carolina Beach. The staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Service was quick and accurate. My only complaint is that the powder they use in their smoothies doesn’t dissolve fully so the entire smoothie has that gritty powder taste. The atmosphere was very nice and not noisy even with all tables full. Give it a try!

Very convenient stop for coffee and a quick bite. Coffee is GREAT. Food wasn’t the most flavorful – but not bad. Friendly staff!

This is my favorite place at Carolina Beach and the surrounding area! No matter who is working, the coffee/drinks are consistent. Every staff member I’ve met has been so incredibly sweet and kind. It has a cozy, yet beachy atmosphere and I always look forward to coming here when I’m in town.
