This place is super cute. Beer, ice cream, and a gift shop. I if you can’t find it, go up the steps, It’s on the second story. There is a nice covered porch overlooking the water to sit and relax while you eat/drink. There is also a porch on the front which is nice for watching the live music across the street during the summer. The is also a restroom and free water for customers.

Icecream, coffee and beer all in one stop. Amazing shop for gift ideas. Creative little trinkets and gifts. Funny socks and unique items I haven’t seen in my life of travel. Staff is awesome, Maya in particular really knows her stuff. The place is very kid friendly with games and things to do on their patio. Strong 5 stars.

I’ve always loved this place! My mom also really enjoys coming here every spring when she visits for a few days. This week we made it over twice! It was sunny and 80° out, so we had a really nice time sitting on the back deck while she ate her ice cream. The second day my mom went upfor ice cream and coffee to go, and we went over to the River Walk to sit and enjoy. Last spring when we went, we got to watch a guy play live music on the bottom level. The staff is very nice and they’re all more than efficient at their jobs (while maybe a bit slow, if you lack patience - we understand that spots like this are leisurely and so are the staff working them, and I think it’s part of what makes the place so relaxing). The views are next to none. You can’t get those views many other places in Swansboro.I noticed the back decks (top and bottom) have brand new tables and chairs, and they were nice!The only reason I’m holding back a star in the rating is that the steps to get upstairs for ice cream (both in the front and the back) are INCREDIBLY steep, and it’s got zero accessible entry points for the upper level (where you buy ice cream). I use a cane and sometimes a wheelchair and I can’t imagine being able to enjoy this spot on a wheelchair day, which makes me sad for those that can’t ever get up out of their chairs and also makes me acutely aware of the fact that eventually, I won’t be able to go here anymore either. Still, lack of ramp and all, I love it there!

Amazing nook in the beautiful town of swansboro. This is a sure stop any time I'm around it. Atmosphere is amazing, people are great, and the prices are super reasonable. Do yourself a favor and stop in at this place and take in the waterfront views with a few cold drinks.

Visited Bake, Bottle & Brew after lunch today. Enjoyed a smores Frappuccino on the back deck and it was delicious. The view is relaxing. The shop has a variety of cute & funny gifts. Also offered a variety of ice cream and beers. If you're looking for a souvenir or just a spot to sit and relax while enjoying a nice cold beverage this is the spot to be!

Purchased a few craft beers and the bartender seemed annoyed that we were there. I couldn't tell if she just had RBF or if she was just having a bad day. After reading other reviews, I think I had the same unfriendly bartender that other patrons mentioned.The atmosphere was fantastic! It was a Sunday block party with live music across the street. It was so fun!

We love Bake, Bottle & Brew and stop in every time we pass. They have a great assortment of ice cream for the kids, I always order a coffee, and my husband will enjoy a beer while we sit on the outdoor patio. The service is always wonderful!

Great place for coffee, ice cream, beer or wine. Dog friendly, waterfront. Family oriented, friendly. Beautiful view.

Loved this shop on the water. Great people and a fun store with unique gifts. Grab an ice cream or a coffee or a beer. If I lived closed by I’d be a regularKid-friendliness: Mom and dad get a beer kids get an ice cream and look at the water and boats

Great selection of ice creamJust back in town and I think their name may have changed. The ice cream is still great, and the deck band was great. Wonderful deck venue right off the water. Love it!

This is one of my favorite shops in downtown Swansboro. I love walking around the gift shop, I always find unique gifts for all occasions, and the bottled wine selection is fantastic. I have no idea how to home brew beer but looking at their selection of equipment always makes me want to try! After shopping, grab beer from their tap or a milkshake (they have a cappuccino ice cream that makes the best milkshake) and go sit on the deck with the most amazing view. It's a must visit.

Great place with a wonderful deck, overlooking the sound and sea. It is a real family deck, as you can enjoy ice-cream, milk shake, (iced) coffee or a beer. The gift store has fun presents (maybe not suited for the entire family) and home brew equipment. And of course the staff is super friendly. For us it is a must return location on our annual trip to Emerald Isle.

Lovely little spot. The house Cabernet was good and their outside seating area had a lovely view of the water. Charming.

I'm not sure how many people work in the upstairs portion of the store, since I've only been literally twice, but both times I've gone the same lady has been working and she has been amazing both times. Drinks brewed to perfection and has quite a bit of knowledge on everything in store, most of which is small business made product. Definitely recommend checking out.

My husband and I stumbled upon this little shop and had some ice cream after a delicious dinner at Saltwater Grill. I had the white chocolate raspberry ice cream and it was delicious. I wish I could find it back home! This is the perfect spot for a little treat after walking around town. We hope to be back in the area soon and will definitely come back here!

Not only is this the closest brewing supply store to me it is also the best. The owner is very knowledgeable and brews his own wine. He has everything you could need from yeasts to hops. He is also adding new stuff all the time.

I been to Bake bottle and brew many times and the critique I have is, the staff never welcome you when you walk in, smile. They honestly, every time seem miserable to be there, the friends I have been with have mentioned this to me also. I prefer going to Sweeter things cafe in swansboro because the service and staff are way more friendly and happy like a coffee shop should be.Some of their products they sell are pretty vulgar. I wouldn't let a small child look around

Bake bottle and brew and Willy Nilly are my 2 favorite places to go! They have live music there 4 nights a week, it's free to get in and you can bring in snacks or food to eat, what more could you ask for!!! The service is always great and the owners are usually present and mingling with the crowd. Sitting by the water watching the boats and kayaks go by while listening to music is always a treat!! If you haven't been there, you must go. Only bummer is, they recently raised their prices for drinks.

Different kind of store. You can have a glass of wine or ice cream, or tea that's fresh brewed and pretty good. They sell beer and wine kits as well as off beat merchandise, decanters whiskey stones, also socks. If you find yourself in town, it's worth climbing all of those stairs. Did I mention that they have a balcony overlooking the water?
