I have the pleasure of working right next door to one of the best cafes on the East Coast—Ziggy’s Cafe in Havelock. Being from the Midwest, I know my diners, and this place is as close to home as it gets. The food is always excellent, but if you’re looking for next-level sandwiches, Ziggy’s takes it to perfection. Golden, crispy crust, cooked just right—you can’t go wrong. I highly recommend dining in to get the full experience because, depending on your drive home, taking a sandwich to go might soften that perfect crunch. Their Reuben? One of the best I’ve ever had. The Pilgrim sandwich? Incredible. Their chicken salad? Next level. And don’t even get me started on their award-winning chili—some of the best I’ve tasted. Breakfast here is simply phenomenal, so whether you’re craving a hearty morning meal or a satisfying lunch, Ziggy’s has it all. But what truly sets this place apart is the people. Huge shoutout to Rebecca, Natasha, and Ashley—some of the best waitresses I’ve ever met. Once they get to know you, they remember your name, your drink, and your go-to order. That kind of service is rare, and it’s what makes this place feel like home. If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. And if you’re in need of a great haircut, I’m right next door!

Summer of the best pancakes I've had in NC, and I'd consider myself a connoisseur. All the breakfast food was delicious, but the pancakes were gigantic and amazing - we were on vacation and I will definitely return. Everyone enjoyed their food, even our picky eater kids. And service was 5 start even though they were completely packed.
