“Stopped on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Very cute inside. Very friendly and accommodating. Ordered an iced Americana & it was perfectly strong and bold! Daughter ordered a vanilla latte and was highly satisfied!“

“We decided to stop here over Starbucks while on vacation this past week. Best decision! The iced coffee was delicious. There are so many flavor options and non-dairy options to choose from. Friendly staff and great location. The prices are also unbeatable. I highly recommend stopping in!“

“From the first time I walked in it felt like I have been coming here for years. Quaint little spot to hang out. Friendly staff and customers. Outside seating is also available.“

“We have been getting Duck donuts here at the original store since 2011. Yesterday I went in to get our first order of the vacation week. We always vacation last week of August and it usually includes my son’s bday. He’ll be 17 on Saturday and heads off to college in a year. We told him we will pause OBX next summer since we don’t know exactly where he’ll go to college. I literally cried ordering my donuts yesterday to the owner and how much Duck OBX has met to our family memories for 13 years! Duck is all about traditions to us. Sunrise, sunsets, crabbing, and of course Duck Donuts! We have loved watching this business turn in to a national franchise. What a beautiful success story. 🍩 🍩🍩🍩“

“I live around the corner, so this is my go to for coffee if I’m out of milk at home. I don’t know the manager’s name, but he is awesome! He always has a big smile on his face. He remembers me every time. And I notice they have a 100% for their sanitary rating! When was the last time you saw that?! I went this morning and I have to say that was the best coffee I’ve ever gotten from them. I didn’t even have to put sugar in it.“

“Best looking Starbucks I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot of them. Good service, accurate orders, pleasant staff. Clean restrooms and well marked parking. Easy on and off access. Drive through was doing a good throughput as we sat inside with our coffee and snack. Loved it.“

“Did not disappoint!! We ordered twice during our stay. My kids loved everything we ordered, from the donut holes, churros, to the donuts and pretzel bacon egg and cheese. The young man that delivered our order was on time, friendly, professional and courteous. Highly recommend.“

“Ordered breakfast sandwiches, smoothie and donuts from Kill Devil Hills location today. Asked for ketchup for the sandwiches and they said they had none and do not plan on providing ketchup in the future. I am a local. May not come back if they do not provide ketchup. Large double storefront just opened here in KDH and plenty of room for inside tables but no tables. Hopefully these issues will be corrected so I can take my granddaughter to this store again.“

“Our party of 3 (2 vegetarians and 1 vegan) absolutely loved our lunches here. The owner was friendly and accommodating and obviously puts time and intention into her recipes. We didn't feel like her veggie options were an afterthought, like they were most other places in the OBX. The basil pesto and sun-dried tomato pesto were stellar. The fresh mozzarella was creamy and delicious. Her smoothies and coffee drinks were delicious as well. This was by far our favorite place to eat on our vacation!“

“Donuts . Go early. It gets crowded“
