Coffee Shop No. 410 Outer Bean…read moreKitty Hawk, NC September 5, 2024 If there is one thing I have learned over the last two in and a half years it's that a genuine smile and a warm greeting goes a really long way. It can transform an ordinary drink into something special. It makes the magic of coffee last throughout the entire day. I was immediately welcomed when I walked into the Outer Bean. Initially, I was bummed because cortados were not on the menu. I asked the barista if she would try to make one. She said sure. I gave her general directions and she walked to the espresso machine. A couple of minutes later she handed me a cup with two shots of espresso and a stainless steel pitcher with steamed milk. The barista said, "Why don't you add the milk in so you get it just the way you want." I thought this was a thoughtful gesture. I thanked her and made my cortado. We chatted a bit. It turned out she is Thai and my husband is Thai; and I love to talk about Thailand. I took a few pictures. We exchanged goodbyes and I exited the cafe with a genuine smile and a very positive impression of the Outer Bean. Smiles are free and they can elevate and/or improve any situation. Plus, folks always look better when they smile. I hope you make this world a better place by sharing your smile with someone today. Thank you to the barista at Outer Bean who shared her smile and made my day brighter. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

I had Been in one other time and sat inside and was impressed by the product and the service. This time I was literally turning around in the parking lot and decided to grab a coffee and see if they had a chocolate croissant. I didn't expect to be cheerfully asked if I wanted the pastry warmed up and anything specific about the coffee... The young lady was such a brand ambassador for your store. And of course, the croissant was perfect, as was the cold brew coffee. Thank you so much.

We don't usually tip for a single drip coffee, but he was feeling generous. Right after the transaction was completed, the girl behind the counter handed him a cup and pointed to a self-serve coffee area. We tipped so she could charge us, take our money, and then we could serve ourselves. To make matters worse, he said the coffee was terrible. ‍

But the food, sub par. Soft drinks were "odd" for lack of better word. So I returned it for a beer cause, why not. Sweet tea was so sweet that we had to dilute it with water. We can handle that. The food would have been great, had they used ANY SEASONING at all. Everything tasted as tho the kitchen lost all S&P privileges. I had the prime rib w/ au jus. Meat was tender and onions cooked nicely. But it definitely didn't match the description which was something like "on a hoagie bun topped with garlic and butter." It was not. Which would have really helped carry the no seasoning deal. Au jus, had great potential, just no flavor. I ended up eating the meat alone and left the bread. Wife got the Reuben. Which was overall ok. Much more flavor than mine. But only bc of the sauerkraut. Oldest daughter got the BYO burger, with cheese and pickle. The burger was clearly a frozen patty from the store. As clearly defined by the shape of the patty. She ate half and the other half sits in the fridge as I type, from 2 nights ago. (I usually eat all the leftovers) I leave this review in hopes that the management and kitchen staff will start to properly season their food. Arts has great potential. But not without seasoning!

The Jalea (fried seafood platter) was outstanding -- crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The flaky white fish was especially good. We also tried the papa rellena, tamales, empanadas (beef was my favorite), and Old Bay fries. Everything was delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly, service was excellent, and the casual outdoor seating made for a great experience. Highly recommend checking out the Peruvian menu while it's available -- you really an't go wrong here.

IN REPLY TO OWNER SINCE I AM UNABLE TO REPLY TO RESPONSE - our heads were down as we were absolutely embarrassed the OWNER of an establishment came out the way you did. YOUR staff came up to us multiple times after the fact to apologize for how YOU were and that you were always that way to customers but how intimidated they were by you so they didn't want to say anything. He pulled the waitresses aside to apologize for any convenience he may have caused them, letting them know they were wonderful but YOU were the problem. adding to the waitresses stated how he wasn't rude & quote from our waitresses from quote said "if i knew she was going to be that way to y'all, i would've never said anything." your replies are very telling on you as a person - learn customer service if you are going to try to run a successful business!

It comes in a tomato based sauce, which I am a big fan of and you don't see as often as the cream sauce. I had the Local Catch, which was tile and came with broccolini over polenta. It was delicious, however the portion was smaller than I expected given the price. Welp, that left me with more room for dessert. The dessert menu is almost as long as the food menu, so get ready to make some tough decisions. After much deliberation, we decided to go "lighter" and had the pineapple spoon cake and coconut cake. So good, and a great ending to the meal.
