Outer Banks Coffee

It was a bit of a long line moving slow (but there was a sign that said be patient- short staffed). The coffee is good. But for the love of God do t make any reference to SBX or any type of SPX product names or sizes or brand—- they have a thing about that

It was a very dry welcome, and the coffee was not good. I took 2 sips and threw it away. Also, I was alarmed to notice the wall of tarantula exhibits and boxes of crickets while waiting for my coffee.

Really wanted to like this spot. Owner was rude to customers and his staff. As others have mentioned, he openly berrated an employee in front of customers for getting an order wrong (and it was his fault). Drinks are okay, but nothing worthy of stopping.

Love this shop! The menu boasts a wide variety of drinks, and they are delicious! My favorite part of the experience is the owner’s collection of spiders, which he kindly taught us about when we asked. Family members and I went twice on this trip, and I’ll happily return whenever I’m in the area.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. My sister and I came here to support a seemingly small local coffee shop but were taken aback by how terrible the overall experience was. The coffee tastes awful. The sizes are virtually no different from each other. The staff was nasty and rolled our eyes at us while taking our order and when we were nothing but up-beat and nice to them. I do not recommend coming. Go to Dunkin’ Donuts across the street instead or drive an hour away to go to a Starbucks.

Like others, we wanted to love this place while supporting a local business. The lattes were not good and overpriced. Edited in response to owner’s reply (1yr later): I have no problem spending more for good coffee, but the coffee has to be good. That was not the case here. Coffee was terrible and service wasn’t great either.

Coffee is phenomenal - not too sweet, perfect balance. The owner is nice, hilarious, and knows how to make a dang good cup of Joe! After we discovered this place, we only come here when we're in Corolla. Save yourself the trouble of looking around and just head here. You're welcome

Good coffee. I give this guy 5 stars because he is his own guy. He isn't catering to the customer and the need to always be polite. He is a good guy but if you are someone who complains and don't pay attention to signs then you may not like this place, as he seems to think like a libratarian. Cool feature is his own crypto mining computer in the corner. He makes coffee and he is about people taking personal responsibility. Most of the negative reviews are focused on not wearing a mask which I believe he would say you are welcome to that opinion so go somewhere else. He was fast and polite at 7 am which is what I want when I go to get a morning cup of coffee. My only complaint is that he opens late for us vacationers who need a 6 am place... Which most places in duck/Corolla open 7 or later.
