The lavender flavor could've been a little bit stronger. The nutty duck was so good! It was rich, sweet, and indeed nutty. The decaf cafe au lait was also good. It was milky and rich, and the coffee was not bitter. I personally like that the coffee is self-served because it ensures that we got decaf. On top of tasty coffee, they have a wide selection of books and treasures. I still highly recommend!

Welcome to Treehouse Coffee, the caffeine canopy you never knew you needed. Nestled under a tangle…read moreof trees, it's part hideout, part haven -- and all heart-roasted magic. First, it's the long wait -- a slow, leafy meditation broken by the promise of caffeine. Then the moment arrives: you step inside and it's like diving into a whirlpool of aroma and energy. Orders fly, steam hisses, the baristas move like synchronized squirrels, and you clutch your cup, scanning the room for moderately quiet refuge. Victory is that one tiny table in the corner, basking in the glow of triumph and espresso. Visit on an empty bladder, the eternal wait for the shop's single, mythical bathroom is never-ending. The coffee doesn't just wake you up -- it revives your spirit. Brewed with a kind of leafy zen that only happens under trees, each cup tastes like a small triumph. Then there are the biscuit sandwiches: huge, buttery beasts of happiness, baked fresh and stacked high with eggs, cheese, and all sorts of glorious mess. You need two hands, a napkin, and no shame. You'll need napkins. Lots of them. Maybe even a towel. Then a long, reflective walk along the boardwalk to remember who you were before that biscuit happened to you. Cheers!

Great location to fuel up on caffeine before leaving OBX for the long trek back home…read more I enjoyed trying a new seasonal drink, the Pumpkin Cream Chai. It was delicious. It almost reminded me of Thai tea. Thank you for the speedy service and well made drink with modern decor.

UNLESS YOU HAVE 20+ MINUTES TO KILL, GO ELSEWHERE - they are not the only game in town! (Head over to the Sbux in Harris Teeter across the highway - you will get served MUCH faster - and for chrissake, it's just a lousy stinkin' Sbux drink nbd.) I walked over from Marshall's for a "quick" or what I thought was quick anyway (!) hot latte. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Walked in and ordered at the counter - NO ONE ELSE IN LINE AND 2 PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME WAITING FOR THEIR DRINKS. TOOK THEM 25 MINUTES TO MAKE MY DRINK. NO LIE. Had I mobile ordered though, I would have gotten it MUCH sooner. Mobile order customers were in and out in no time. Baristas crankin' them mobile order drinks out like there was no tomorrow. I absolutely cannot stand Sbux shops that prioritize mobile orders over walk ins. MAKES NO SENSE AND IS INFURIATING. Do NOT come here if you don't mobile order or if you're in a hurry or during peak coffee times (early am, weekends any time, etc). Even after 20 minutes waiting for my drink, the barista had THE NERVE to announce "sorry folks - we're doing the best we can - thanks for your patience - we'll be right with you." The number of people waiting for their drinks to be made kept getting bigger and biggee - the waiting area filled up. And it stilllllll took another 5-10 mins for me to get my drink. ANDDDD I actually had to go up to the barista to ask when my drink would be ready - she asked for my name, I told her, she checked and my drink was sitting on the counter with another batch of already made drinks! No "oops" "sorry" "my bad". Nothing. LAST TIME I WILL BE GOING TO THIS LOCATION. RIDICULOUS. AND ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION.

They have wonderful espresso drinks (I tried a raspberry mocha), a large selection of pastries, and even some ice cream sandwiches. I want to know that they had options for all dietary requirements which I love! They had a local artist painting in the interior of the store. There was lots of local art for sale and jewelry plus stickers and postcards, etc. it was our final stop during our Outer Banks trip and I would absolutely recommend it.

The coffee is great, the flavors are unique and honestly the prices are the most affordable on the OBX. when it comes to good quality coffee with cool flavor combinations this is a great place!!

They have dairy alternatives for those of you who want oat or almond milk. The plus side if they sell art from local artists and you can look while you wait.

Our biggest issue is that my husband's coffee was almost completely coffee grounds. My husband ordered a coffee with a shot of espresso. There were so many coffee grounds that he couldn't finish the drink because he kept ingesting the grounds.

I just don't think I would return to this one.

One was sweet and the other savory. There were several customers picking up orders and the counter stayed busy with walk-ins, too. This is definitely a popular, fun, and cozy option for locals and tourists alike.

The pattern one may notice across my reviews is that my family and I are creatures of habit and when we are in town for our annual family vacation we have some non-negotiable stops. Donutz On A Stick being one of them! While they are tucked into a corner in the Wee Winks Square shopping center, just follow the fresh smell of baked goods :D While they also serve ice cream (I'm sure also good for Summer months especially), you obviously have to get some donuts while you're here. They have a variety of options to choose from (and a cute display window to see what they look like and help you choose, or make the decision harder depending on who you are haha). A small stick is 2 donuts of the same kind and a large stick is 4 donuts total, 2 of 2 flavors (or 4 of the same if you're really committed ;D). You just can't beat the melt-in your mouthness of freshly made donuts. As in, made when you order!! As pictured, we're fans of the rainbow, tuxedo especially, but you really can't go wrong, because the base donuts are solid quality, so the toppings are just whatever suits your fancy in the moment. If you're a coffee person, make sure to get an iced coffee to go with your donuts, they make their own iced coffee cubes so your drink never gets watered down even as it melts! So smooth, so tasty! Cause we come around Thanksgiving, it gets dark early. The shopping center doesn't appear to be well lit at night, so don't let that dissuade you from an evening treat. They're open! And they also update their hours online, so google should usually be accurate as well :)
