19 Best Coffee Shops near Southern Shores

“It is unusual to find a corporate company out do the local business but with your consistent app and customer service I make this my stop to get coffee every week. Thank you. Keep up the good work.“

“I stumbled upon this little gem while in the area and was blown away by how wonderful everything was. The coffee is incredibly high quality, and you can really taste the care they put into roasting their own beans right on-site. The vibe is so cozy and artistic, making it the perfect place to just sit back and enjoy a great cup. The staff were super welcoming, and it felt like a true community spot rather than just another coffee shop. I ended up picking up some local art pieces too, which was a nice bonus. I’ll definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I’m nearby.“

“I've been coming down to the Outer Banks every November for the past 32 years. Somehow I had never ran across this gem. The coffee and ice cream are perfect. We really enjoyed the malt. I also thoroughly enjoyed their specialty menu for The Fall season! We went several days and enjoyed the view, everyone that we met who worked there was great! We loved the swanky seating, the eccentric seating, and the overall beauty of this place! HIGHLY recommend checking it out!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The owners are super friendly and kind. They are great to do business with.“

“Not quite sure why I came to look at google reviews today but here I am.

I have religiously gone to this location practically every day since it opened. I was a frequent regular at the Kitty Hawk Location prior. I truly love the staff and both stores - the Drive Thru though is uber convenient and therefore this has become my main store. Needless to say, this store hits on point every day! I’ve had one bad coffee since they opened and it was 3ish in the afternoon and can tell the coffee was just old. They immediately remade it no questions asked, apologized, and even gave us a couple free baked goods which I declined and they insisted.

10/10 staff
10/10 Coffee
10/10 Everything!

My only complaint is with Starbucks corporate - bring back the dag on Irish Cream Syrup!“

“I'm not a local, but I ordered my coffee online like I usually do back home, gotta get those rewards! Lol. However, my experience with drive through pick up was GREAT! Very kind and friendly customer service, my coffee was fantastic too and ready for me. Usually it's a hit or miss back home but they made it great. Thanks for a great coffee and service! 💖“

“Amazing donuts and stuffed pretzels. Would 10 out of 10 recommend. Staff was super friendly and couldn’t beat the prices. Also love that this is a family owned business.“

“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. 🍩 🍩🍩🍩“

“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“

“Amazingggg food and coffee ♥️“

“This location, just over the bridge in Kitty Hawk (the former McDonalds) is great. It's the perfect place to grab a coffee and snack between errands and chores. The coffee was delish and the bagel i got was super tasty. The server was also very nice. I recommend!“

“Do yourself a favor and order the Frozen Espresso Cappuccino with Hazelnut flavoring. Our group visited Big Bucks everyday of vacation and have zero regrets 😍 so delicious!“

“I placed an order via the mobile app, curbside. Before I could exit the app, the lady was at my car window with my food. I was impressed. If you go to manteo McDonald's and plane an order by the app you will have to set for half an hour and then go inside just to make sure they got your order, only to find out the skipped you!“
