“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.“

“Awesome small local coffee roaster. Had a fresh drip dark-roast coffee - which is my go to when I find a good roaster. Took home a pound of fresh-roasted beans as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you are a coffee lover!“

“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!!!“

“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.

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

“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!“

“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!“
