    Dessert

    Possibly the best cake I have ever had! Do not miss this place! It is located inside Kevin's gas station...

    The pastry shelf of yummy-ness.

    I was a little taken-a-back by its location in the Citgo convenience store but don't let that keep you from going in. They are well stocked with many yummy choices. We stopped by at 10:00 for a breakfast-on-the-go and tried the sausage, egg, mayo sandwich with and without cheese and they were devoured by the crew. We also tried the chocolate muffin which was more like a cupcake without frosting, but hey, if it's labeled as a muffin it's healthy. The scones were tasty, but a little "cakey". We got 2 chocolate chip cookies, an assortment of muffins (chocolate, cranberry orange, blueberry, and sweet potato), and scones (blueberry, apple cinnamon). We didn't try any of the "fresh squeezed" drinks but saw the press ready to squeeze and the famous 12 layer cake looked very tempting but it would have been too messy for the car ride. Lots of locals seem to know this is the place to go for good food to go , so you should too.

    Cort and the 7 layer cake...

    On the way to the Outer Bank our son mentioned that had to try the 7 layer cake at Cindy's. I was surprised to find out it was located in a gas station on HWY 158. We tried the pumkin n cream, pecan, lemon, and 7 layer cakes. All were delicious. How do they make the 7 layers so thin? I really wanted a slice of the coconut custard pie they had. It looked sooo good, but they didnt have slices available that day... We will definitely stop over again on the way to OBX.

    12 Layer Cake!

    Cindy's Kitchen is one of the traditional stopovers that we make either entering or leaving the Outer Banks. I cannot pass up the opportunity to pick up a slice of her famous 12 Layer Cake. It has a perfect crumb and the chocolate icing on each layer is just enough that it doesn't become cloyingly sweet. The bakery has a wide selection of freshly made goods that its sure to please any sweet tooth. One quick tip for those who are looking for the mecca of all good things baked; it is located inside the gas station. Other things to consider for the long haul back home include their caramel cake, the egg salad, chicken salad, or pimento cheese sandwiches. If you need that burst of energy consider picking up some southern sweet tea.

    Cindy we love you!!!!

    We stopped here randomly last Spring Break and the cakes we sampled were SOOO GOOD we can't wait to go back this weekend on the way to Kill Devil Hills. Definitely worth a stop, lots of yummy cakes to choose from and you can just get a slice so you can try everything!!!

    Made with love! :)

    See all

    The sweet potato biscuits are so good. They did overcharge us though, which was a hassle to fix. Great food, overall.

    Homemade treats and sandwiches that are a surprise to find at a gas station. We stop here every single time we pass.

    Y'ALL. I can't even put into words how much I LOVE this place…read more Tucked away here in Duck, NC on the beautiful Outer Banks, this little bakery is truly a hidden gem. Honestly, part of me wanted to keep it a secret... but it's way too good not to share! The cupcakes? Moist, soft, perfectly sweet, and topped with just the right amount of frosting + garnish. Absolute perfection. The cheesecake? Listen... it's "slap-your-mama" good. I'm talking about that close-your-eyes kind of bite that takes you straight back to a childhood memory. Pure magic. The red velvet? Heavenly. Moist, rich, and decadent enough to transport you to another time and place. I honestly believe food has the power to bring back memories -- and this bakery proves it. Every bite is a little trip down memory lane, and I promise, you'll feel it too. If you're visiting OBX or anywhere nearby... RUN, don't walk. ‍ Support local. Support passion. Support pure baking brilliance.
