BEADS & BEANS OBX

Visiting the OBX for the first time and saw this place on my first day. It wasn't open for the first few days but it was posted when they open back up. I read good reviews and bad reviews with all the bad reviews saying they had issues with rudeness and staff service. Me and my husband went around 10:30 and it was already very crowde. I had a pleasant experience, the shop was pretty busy and we were met with kindness and I didn't feel rushed at all. We each got a spinach feta croissant and I got a mocha, both things were delicious. Wish I could've seen the bead portion but that didn't ruin my experience.

Great food, great people!

I recently spent a week in Rodanthe, and a lot could be said about how the town in general is such a serene setting for a relaxing and needed beach retreat. However, one stand out is this quaint little coffee shop, from their delicious morning pick me ups to the fabulous pastries they offer to pair with them, and hey if coffee isn't your thing they have many and more options for you. They also have a ton of interesting and unique souvenirs you can pick up for your friends or loved ones back home, or if you are like me grab a sticker to remember the little things from vacation that made it all the more special. In a world where we have Starbucks on every corner, except in Rodanthe, this place was not only refreshing but on par. With all that said the best aspect needs to be mentioned...the service. Not only were they friendly and polite they quickly remembered weekly once a season regulars, which added so much to the overall feel of the place. I plan to visit the Outer Banks again and one thing I will look forward to other than the sound of waves or the feel of sand is Beads & Beans.

I have been coming here every day of the week of my vacation and the Matcha is spectacular! I got an apple fritter today and it was so warm and delicious. The lady behind the counter is so kind and make you feel welcome! Great place and will be back next year

Delicious! Breakfast pizza was a family favorite, but the cinnamon rolls were the best! The best americano I had our entire vacation!

This shop has really cute things but is jam packed. It was really hard to move around to even get in line (and there was a LINE!) We didn't get any coffee, so can't comment on that but did get two pastries. There are no prices or menu for the pastries and we did end up paying more than we normally would have when getting goodies. We got a cinnamon roll and a chocolate crossiant, our total was just over $15. The crossiant was huge, so it doesn't sting as bad. We enjoyed another bakery a little more so we wouldn't return to this one.
