This is a cute coffee shop with a decent selection of bagels and muffins. We ordered lattes, mochas and muffins. I ordered a latte the first day and a mocha and muffin the second day. The muffin was good, the latte and mocha were great.

Really delicous baked goods, large selection of coffee and other beverages. Everything I've had there I've enjoyed. Great music and atmosphere - lots of seating - cozy couches, small tables and outside seating.

I needed a cup of coffee, and the Dancing Turtle came to the rescue. Their breve was great, as was their fresh pastries. Also, those trees out front are so lovely.

Best coffee shop I’ve been to. Very friendly and accommodating. Didn’t see what I wanted on the menu, they made it anyway and made it very good! I wanted a pumpkin chai and they knocked it out of the park! Then their baked goods, yummmmm! Definitely make the stop.

Great coffee shop with delicious pastry. Ordered a cappuccino and a vanilla latte and both were perfectly prepared. Had an apple fritter and bacon egg and cheese croissant and they were both delicious.

The Dancing Turtle is always one of my top must-do’s whenever I’m in Hatteras. The atmosphere is so cozy and welcoming—it’s the perfect spot to relax and soak in the local vibe. Their coffee is consistently excellent, and the staff is always friendly and inviting. Whether you’re starting your day or just taking a break, this place is a gem. Can’t wait to visit again on my next trip down!

Open on Sunday morning after I disembarked from the Ocracoke ferry and the place was hopping. A pretty constant flow of customers coming and going for their caffeine, which is exactly what I was doing as well.

Lots of great flavors and combinations of syrups and a lovely display of baked goods. My latte with sugar free hazelnut was perfection. Great smooth coffee, just the right amount of syrup and before I knew it, it was gone. And so was I, on to the next.

A definite great stop. They have a few tables and counter space if you're looking to sit with a laptop.
