16 Best Coffee Shops near Duck

“Fantastic and great service.“

“In the area, it's hard to find places that stay open past 4 or 5 during off season. If you're on the hunt for coffee, you're pretty much out of luck if it's not morning time. You can get Starbucks up in Corolla until 4pm in the Harris Teeter, but other than that, you'll have to drive about a half hour. That is, unless you go to Sweet T's. We decided to give it a try and were very glad we did. The caramel Macchiato was different than Starbucks, but very good. I liked my Chai tea latte I usually like it strong, but this one was pretty mild, and actually hit the spot for an evening beverage. The atmosphere was very nice, and the lady behind the counter was very attentive and polite.“

“The lattes were amazing! ? Asked for extra hot and received extra hot! The flavor was great and the lattes did not upset my stomach or my husband's. ? Only bummer was outside seating only when we were there (too hot) to sit in the sun on old picnic tables without umbrellas to block the sun. We tried to enter building but was told by folks inside you have to order outside through the "takeout" window. I believe another business works inside the building. ?‍♀️ We would have ordered food, menu read "yummy" but was "takeout/or eat at old picnic tables in sun" (not to inviting exterior for eating). However, again, lattes were AMAZING and service was AMAZING!“

“They have one dairy-free option which is strawberry sorbet. It is homemade with fresh strawberries and it was a little too sweet. We also got the chocolate and chocolate peanut butter and it was delicious. They also have espresso Frozen drinks which are delicious. The lemonade strawberry drink is also delicious with fresh strawberries sorbet mixed in with lemonade.“

“Inca Mocha ? Bathroom is always clean. The art is really vibrant with a wide range of price points. Outdoor & indoor seating along with some upstairs balcony seating. Only thing to improve is getting some bike parking to lock a bike up. I've been many times & they've proved they are consistently good as well.“

“Found this place a few years ago stuck in traffic on the way out so figured why not grab some coffee and breakfast. Great little spot. Our most recent visit for the weekend we got coffee and breakfast each day. The staff is still as friendly as I remembered years ago. We opted to get our dog a pup cup this time. She loved it. Haven't had anything I didn't like yet. We'll be back not sure when but we will be.“

“My family and I haven’t been to OBX in about 10 years. We stayed in Corolla for a week, and found Driftwood Coffee Co within the first day of arriving. Safe to say that all 10-12 of us went 3-4 times EACH during our week stay ? Coffee is delicious. Very friendly service. Owner is extremely kind, and very talented! She displays her paintings around the shop as well as her jewelry. Come to find out, the shop has only been open since April. I have a feeling they will continue to do very well during the summer months. We will be back!“

“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.“

“Great little spot! Only sad we discovered it on our last day of Vaca!The donuts are yummy and the glazes were very flavorful!Egg and cheese donut hit the sweet and salty spot!My 7 year old says, "best thing ever!" And we were at 3 donut spots in the last week!“

“This place is flying under the radar. We sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly and attentive without being invasive. Great drinks. Delicious meal. More baja or California style tacos which is what we prefer. Loved it! Can't believe it took us so long to go!“

“We had a fabulous time at this go to Bakery/ice-cream bar/candy/candies hot spot! It was full of options for local jams and sauces. It was so inviting and had so many options of candies, party decor, sweets and eats, and I had the best chocolate Heath malt (he let me design my own milkshake which was so much fun)! Their prices were much better then the other farmers markets nearby, and thoroughly enjoyed this family owned bakery and ice-cream bar that has so many options to see, enjoy, and purchase! If your a local they can take care of all your party needs from decor to birthday cakes! They provided stellar service and will definitely hop by here again with my family next we pass by!“

“I went here all the time this summer with my best friend and it’s so good the smoothies are so good and the açaí bowls are incredible and another this that makes it so good is the vibe on the inside is so relaxed and beach plus the smoothies came really fast and soon after we “

“Well, what do say that hasn't been said about Duck Donuts .How about a religious experience. All I heard was OH MY GOD !! How good they were . For the people who gave one star for service, get a life the donuts alone are 5 star and restaurant business has been behind since covid fining good people or haven't you heard . To take away 4 stars is a total shame... Also I noticed that all the low reviews had less than 10 reviews. Maybe they need to go out more so they can see what bad service really is .“

“This is one of the best donut shops I have ever been to!! The donuts were amazing and the customer service was excellent. The employees were very patient and helped answer any questions that I had. They had a lot of great t-shirts as well! I recommend this to anyone that will be in the area!!“

“Jacob is an absolute GEM!! I met him when he trained at my particular Starbucks in Williamsburg, VA. He said he was training for the Starbucks in the Outer Banks, but I didn’t catch which one. If you have him, cherish him! Thank you again, Jacob and I will definitely be paying it forward.“

“The people are really nice and repeated everything back to confirm the order which was super helpful! The coffee is good and so are the donuts! And even tho we didn’t order whipped cream on one of the coffees, they added it for me when I asked if I should reorder it. So nice! Will definitely be coming “
