Great coffee that is their own brand and processed in the Nags Head location. Terrific service in a warm and inviting space. Nice baked breakfast treats as well read more

Wonderful coffee and great service. What a refreshing friendly place. We stopped in to purchase a carafe they have for storing coffee and received assistance from a very nice young man who gladly ground our bags of their own coffee , found the carafes and brought my husband a delicious cup of the coffee. The service was professional but friendly too. We will definitely stop at the Front Porch Cafe again soon. read more

The store around MP6 is my most frequently visited spot. It has so many specialty drinks and they are always super fast. I go here at least 3x a week and would recommend to any coffee drinker! read more

Stopped here while checking out the area and LOVED our coffee. Ordered a cold brew with oat milk and an iced mocha. Service was very fast and the workers there were very nice and helpful (especially when we needed extra time looking over the menu). Truly some of the best coffee i've had and completely worth the drive over. The actually space was huge inside with designated sitting areas, and a separate coffee bar. Can't wait to go back! read more

The cold brew is so smooth and good! We went twice while here - once splitting a ham egg and cheese croissant which sounds simple but DANG. So flaky and delicious! Next got the blueberry muffin and also delicious. Got a bag of beans to take home with us! read more

They are so sweet and care about the environment. Discount if you bring your own mug. So nicely let me use their place to work for a couple of hours even though this is not the place to work. Baristas were kind! I love that they have an art gallery/workshop connected to their space. I can tell this place is beloved. The man in line before me had been coming for years and same for the man behind me. Matcha latte was a tad water down. Ham and cheese croissant fueled me for a morning of sending emails. Thanks again, Front Porch! read more

Sooo good! The service is super friendly and welcoming, but the coffee is better. I was blown away with the quality!

As I sip my cup of Oceana Blend this morning I realized I'm getting more than just my caffeine fix....I am taking notes with via the instruction received during my coffee cupping experience last weekend. Acidity, Body, Flavor - a full wheel of terminology and ratings to choose from when determining what your palate appeals to in this wonderful world of coffee. Front Porch not only offers fresh roasted coffee by the cup, they have a wide range of beans to choose from to take home. There is a smattering of merchandise including great to go cups, ceramic mugs, local art and of course t-shirts (what would a business at the beach be without their t-shirt offerings?). They also carry a variety of teas, pre packaged. There are pastries, bagels and some other choices of food to go with your beverage of choice, but all of this is secondary to the good customer service and wonderful coffee they have to offer. I enjoy, really enjoy small businesses who's owners and staff are passionate about the venture they are surrounded by - and it conveys that Front Porch is having fun doing what they do which is making great coffee! read more

Fantastic selection of coffee's. The ham and cheese croissant was delicious. Love their pastries

Great coffee! I stubbled upon front porch cafe during my last visit to the OBX. I'm back for Labor Day weekend and made sure to visit the front porch again. Each time I have been, the coffee was fresh, smooth and had a great taste. They also have bagels and pastries so great stop for breakfast. read more

This is my favorite coffee place ever. You can tell as I drove 3.5 hrs from my home to the Outer Banks to stock up. It's a local coffee shop with branches in Nags Head and Kitty Hawk NC. They have organic and Swiss water process options as well as all the coffee drinks you can ask for. Their cookies are massive, my nephew gets one every time we visit. Love this place! Cute shop and good people working there :) read more

A very cute little spot with a robust drink menu! I love the atmosphere with local art and coffee beans available for purchase. Very charming and the service was friendly! read more

Excellent coffee. Returned several times during my trip. They have lots of options for flavored coffee, good pastries, and a variety Tony's Chocolonely bars, which are amazing. For covid, they wear masks, offer contactless payment, and make social distancing easy by having markers on the floor six feet apart. read more

Quaint, friendly and a great iced latte. Robust and style flavorful. Also amazing merchandise. It's a perfect little OBX coffee shop

Went to the one in Manteo. Good expresso, decent pastries. Just not much variety at 3:30 pm.

The most friendly staff! Such a cute spot. Coffee was great and also loved the cinnamon roll and strawberry croissant!

Amazing service with super sweet workers. Got some coffee, bakery items, and plenty of tea to go. Love this place and will be back soon!

I really want to compliment this shop for their warm hospitality and safety measures. When I walked in, there was clear directions on where to wait and how to space out. Everyone was wearing proper masks. My latte was the best I've had in a long time. I loved their sugar free english toffee syrup. The pastries were so flaky and good. I will definitely be back. Not only was it really good, I also felt very safe and it was great service! read more

Great coffee shop to visit in OBX. The shop is quite big and has plenty of seating. The service was fast and friendly, and the coffee was great (I ordered the coconut cold brew). Plus they have tons of stickers, cups, etc. to shop from, which is always a nice surprise in a coffee shop. I will be stopping by the next time I'm in the area. read more

Great small but tastefully designed coastal coffee shop. Fast friendly service, yummy cold brew coffee and environmentallly friendly products (no straws here, recycled cups used). Lots of great local artwork to check out as well. read more

I'm not a coffee person but the rest of my group is and they love FPC! I love their muffins - the banana walnut is to die for! White Chocolate Raspberry Mocha is my daughter's favorite if she is not ordering Tea! It is a nice morning walk from our house which is a great way to burn off the muffin I get! The staff is very friendly and nice! The smile is worth the wait! read more

I was so happy to have this joint close by. The coffee is excellent. They had many Keto friendly drinks, roasted fresh beans and pasteries. All delicious for the coffee snob. read more

I was excited to try a local coffee shop instead of the usual Starbucks. We went in, waited in line which was fine. We got up to the counter and I ordered on tap kombucha. The cashier mumbled something about there being no kombucha with a straight face and an attitude. So my husband and I ordered our coffee. My 4 year old saw lollipops sitting on the counter and asked for one. They were not labeled. After asking the cashier, we were informed that they are made from espresso. Seemed like the cashier was having a bad day.... Or something. She had an extreme attitude and no happiness or friendliness whatsoever. Sorry (not sorry) but this makes or breaks an establishment. People DONT want to be treated like they're an inconvenience by visiting YOUR store. And the Coffee was nothing to write home about. We will stick to Starbucks. read more

Excellent Java. Mediterranean bowl was very flavorful and healthy choice. Will come back 100%.

Best frapp so far. They pull their own expresso shots and my husband the coffee connoisseur is still raving half way through his. He got a bacon cinnamon roll and I got a scone which had carmelized sugar all around the bottom. read more

Front Porch Cafe - Yummy, bursting with coffee flavor - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

This is STILL the best way to start each day in the OBX. Coffee is top notch and pastries are fresh baked. Service is simply outstanding - people who engage with each customer yet keep all the lines moving so you can get on with your day. A really special feel to this shop - like the perfect coffee karma. But PLEASE BRING BACK THE TURNOVERS - they were delicious! Other than that, simply no room for improvement! read more

Great coffee, great staff and local art work! I can't fully put into words how much I love this coffee shop... it's my must stop place when I visit the outer banks. The staff really make this one of my favorite places to stop and and the coffee is just as amazing as they are. Do yourself a favor and GO HERE! read more

Friendly service, great coffee and lots of neat local art for sale. We've been every day of our vacation!

This place is great! They offer a variety of specialty drinks. I ordered the honey almond soy latte and it was delicious! We also got some of their spinach and feta croissants which were also great! They have a nice selection of bakery items. They also have fresh kombucha which I thought was pretty cool. The place is pretty large and a great place to relax. They have a good selection of tea to purchase as well as cool mugs. read more

Great employees! Very friendly and helpful. So many coffee and tea flavors to choose from! Cute cafe.

Great drinks and great ambiance. Loved the assortments if Kombucha as well as the coffees and teas. Highly recommend.

Great coffee! My sister & I loved the west 3rd which is a local favorite. Great service & great atmosphere! So good we went back again the next day. Wish we tried it sooner! read more

My Air bnb recommended this cafe and clearly for good reason! Everything I tried exceeded my expectations, both drinks and pastries. If you come, try the white chocolate raspberry mocha, it is DELICIOUS read more

Omg! Here for a work trip and looked up best coffee in OBX. This place came up so I hopped on it! The coffee is delicious! Everyone was super friendly. The atmosphere was cool too. I definitely recommend. You will not be disappointed. read more

Literally the best coffee shop on the island :) great coffee, solid snacks and pastries, lovely atmosphere. Cannot say rave enough about this place. read more

Everywhere we go I seek out a favorite coffee shop. We usually have breakfast over coffee and a pastry and read the paper--the NY Times if we can find it. In Kill Devil Hills, my favorite is Front Porch Café. What's not to like? It has a large, clean, bright dining room with plenty of seats and free wi-fi. (You can't drink coffee without free wi-fi.) It's also a bakery with excellent baked goods. I enjoyed the cinnamon bun and my wife loved her strawberry croissant. The coffee was outstanding. They also have an extensive wine selection. Like I said, what's not to like? read more

An odd place. They acted like jerks. They offer few seating options. They have only one small table inside. Connected next door there are plenty of tables in a pottery shop where classes are held. I sat at one of the tables in that room and a staffer asked me to move to plug my laptop in elsewhere because a class was going to start there -- in 30 minutes. There was no place to move to except two stools where I would have had to ask other people to move their stuff and cram in next to them, even though we were in a big, empty room. Why not see if I was still there 5 or 10 minutes before the class started? I would have been gone. Now I'll just stay away. They don't seem to want people to linger with their coffee. And my scone was stale. I am writing this from the Starbucks down the road where I have lots of options for sitting. read more

Finally, something to rave about in the Outer Banks! First, the atmosphere, you get that real coffee place warm and fuzzy feeling from the moment you walk in. They roast their own coffee so all your senses are indulged from the beginning. The woman who greeted us was oozing kindness, warmth, fun, friendliness and so much more. The coffee: on par or better than any I've had, and we're very picky about our coffee in Chicago since we spend most of our lives indoors. There's a lovely pottery place attached, where the tables are for you to sit at, and you can pick a piece and make your own art. There's also a bead place next to that. All exude the warm and cozy feeling. You really can't go wrong coming here and bring some beans home with you while you're at it! Their muffins are to die for! read more

I've not had a chance to frequent Front Porch as I would like, but when I do it never disappoints. The West 3rd coffee I had today was great and if I lived closer I would so be in here every chance I got. Also, there is a good selection of coffee beans and although the store is relatively small, the service is great and the fresh pastries top off a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend Front Porch if you're on the Outer Banks. read more

Always like to pop in whole boosting OBX. Great coffee and pastries. Love that they offer many options for dairy free creamers.
