Proof Bakery

Easy In and out. No line. VERY reasonably priced. A real "Nags Head insider hack". We found this place by accident. It's like a German Bakery. The food is divine. The Schnitzel Sandwich is unbelievable. The "Stuffed Pretzels" are incredible......they taste EXACTLY like in a Bakery in Germany

We visited this place for the first time admittedly when we tried to go to our favorite coffee house and the line was out the door. We arrived at Proof where the line was TO the door, but at least it involved the AC! It was a fortunate discovery because this place is delicious and will remain in our rotation. There were so many delicious sweet and savory pastries it was hard to choose! They offered coffee but I spotted glass bottle sodas and opted for that. The line took about 10 minutes from walking in to ordering, and once we ordered, the wait was practically negligible. So don't be discouraged by a long line. We'll be back!

Proof Bakery is a great donut, pastry, and sandwich shop in the Outer Banks. Everything is made fresh every morning. The donuts were the best I’ve ever had and the service was wonderful. Do come early because there is a line!

This is a wonderful bakery perfectly situated in a central location and with consistently kind and upbeat staff! We found the apple vanilla danish, blackberry bear claw, and cream cheese danish to all be superb as well as the seasonal strawberry danish! The sticky buns and challah roll breakfast sandwiches are also classic and must-try items. You really can’t go wrong. We have come several years in a row now and look forward to coming back each time. We have usually grabbed pastries and/or sandwiches to go but they have lovely umbrellas over tables outside for dining in.

A great variety of baked goods and coffee. We enjoyed their cinnamon pecan sticky bun, Boston creme, and cinnamon roll. The sticky bun was particularly good. Big and sticky. A great place to pick up breakfast sweets and coffee when visiting OBX in Kill Devil Hills and surrounding areas.

These are the best pastries I’ve tasted in the Outer Banks. We arrived there before 8am on a Thursday and they were just putting out doughnuts. We tried almost one of each donut/beignet along with regular and chocolate croissants. The yeast donuts were fresh and chewy, and some of the flavors were unique. We were so impressed that we returned for lunch to try their chicken schnitzel sandwiches. Don’t miss out on the Sweet and Spicy. So good. The best part and biggest draw, however, was the warm and friendly customer service. The blond lady with the ponytail was so nice and patient with us. And her recommendations were spot on. She’s a gem! We will be back next year when we return to OBX.

This bakery was a great discovery. We were visiting the Wright Brothers Memorial, decided to take a quick break, and found this gem a few blocks away. Sweet and spicy chicken schnitzel was really tasty. Fries were really good (for a change). And the donuts for after were yummy. (Picture is a bit of a mess, but I couldn't wait to get stuck in). We dined on the patio.

12/10 recommend. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were super nice, and the prices were very reasonable.
