The manager Amy took extra special care of my parents when they came for dinner. She made sure they had a great dining experience. She sat them outside to limit the noise for my mother and then noticed my mom was having issues with the ubiquitous mosquitoes of the outer banks and brought out several fans to combat the issue. Bartender Jeremy provided excellent service as well. Drinks were fantastic. I didnt catch anyone else's names but I did not receive bad service from anyone there. These two employees just really stood out. The karaoke DJ also was cool too! I had never been to the outer banks before and I am not sure when I will ever go back but if I do I hope to run into these two again.

Best coffee shop on the island! I live very close to this cute little shop but would gladly walk a mile to get there. So many organic sweets and every kind of milk you can imagine. Try the oat milk, it's so rich and creamy and froths so well in a latte. If you aren't sure what you want, Emily will always guide you in a wonderful direction and you will be amazed. Love this place...make sure you stop by! read more
