Love, love, love this locally owned coffee shop on Ocracoke Island. My sister and I go to the OBX a few times a year and every couple years we go over to Ocracoke. This is ALWAYS our first stop on the island as soon as we get off the ferry. The food is homemade, and the drinks are handcrafted while you wait. The ambiance is everything you'd want on an island: luscious jasmine hanging all over the front door, creaking floorboards under your feet, a homey inside feel, a great outside patio (with more jasmine!) with lots of seating and sunshine. They sell merch as well, so be sure to pick up a shirt or mug. read more

Meh. Nothing to write home about here EXCEPT the amazing fruit tart they serve WITH the coffee or latte or whatever. Seriously the tart is worth the trip in and of itself. Service is meh. read more

Iconic Ocracoke establishment -- a must do on my family vacation. Be prepared to wait in line! But staff is efficient in getting through orders as quick as they can. Coffee and pastries were tasty but if you're looking for a smoothie, I liked Hang 10 better. OCC was for sale this past summer; hoping someone takes it over to keep it running! read more

Cute coffee shop . It's a must try when visiting the island. Very busy we waited in a really longggg line but it was worth it. They don't have a lot of gluten free options for food but the coffee was on point. Get up early and go early cause it gets really busy! Make sure you know what you want as you order drinks and food right at the front and they move you out pretty quick. read more

My boyfriend and I came to Ocracoke two years ago and stopped here for coffee before catching the ferry back. But, it was so busy with the line about out the door. It's the only coffee shop on the island, so we should've expected this. We had to leave without coffee, but this year we came back and finally got our cups! My boyfriend got nuts and jolts, which was perfectly sweet and nutty! I got the chili with hazelnut, which was also amazing. Our bed and breakfast said either go 15 min before they open or wait until after 9 if you don't want to wait 30 minutes. They also recommended the pastries, so we got a chocolate croissant to share, which was great. We went around 11:30, with about a 15 minute wait. They gave unique decor inside with lots of little coffee signs with sayings, merch for sale, and vintage looking couches. If you're a coffee or pastry lover, it's sure worth the wait! read more

Cute coffee place with indoor and outdoor seating. The smoothie was really good and cheap. Would definitely recommend the smoothie. The pastry was good, but nothing great. Seemed like some people were doing some work here. read more

Their prices are crazy high and the owner jumped all over me because I had (mistakenly) put my feet on the coffee table as I was sitting on the couch. I shouldn't have done this but gee...a bit of an over reaction. Something you should know about Ocracoke Island... the natives rely upon the money the tourists bring in but they absolutely HATE the tourists-it comes out in just about every interaction you will have with the locals. Makes for a less than pleasant visit. read more

Enjoyed delicious coffee with my son two days in a row--such a treat! Just a heads-up: summer crowds mean longer lines, but it's absolutely worth the wait. I had their cinnamon roll, and it was amazing. The place has so much charm--quaint, unique, and full of eclectic touches. Very welcoming and inviting. We sat out on the porch, and the weather was perfect for sipping coffee outdoors. A definite must-visit when you're on the island! read more

I love this coffee!! I look forward to going every year. I have never reviewed this place but I did see the reviews about the poor service, but I did not have that experience. The gentleman working the counter was polite and very helpful. Always a treat when we come here. The pastries are delicious and the coffee is even better. read more

Downgraded because the staff acts like they would rather do anything than be at work. Going through the motions. Coffee was tasty, but not hot. A contributing factor was waiting 10 minutes for the 5th drink to arrive. Meh. I don't dig this coffee shop. read more

The coffee is good -- but there is a 20-30 minute every morning. They could streamline service simply by having customers order when they walk in. This way, if you're in line behind someone ordering ten smoothies, and you're only getting an iced coffee -- you're not waiting for half an hour. With that being said, the outdoor seating area is lovely, and there's always a place to sit and enjoy a slow morning. read more

Be prepared to wait but it's a pretty cool spot! We came in two separate times during our stay in Ocracoke. Both times we waited 30-50 minutes. It's definitely a popular place but the line moves fairly fast for all the fancy coffee drinks and smoothies the staff is making. There are lots of cozy sitting areas inside and plenty of outdoor seating. And besides drinks they have pastries, muffins and bagels. The cinnamon swirl croissant was really tasty when we heated it up. We'd come back when we're on the island! read more

A beautiful coffee shop that is huge inside and outside. Due to the pandemic, the inside seating it closed down. The outside seating is so nice with different tables and trees; so calming. Staff inside are friendly, advising what kinds of different coffees they have. I tried the mild Ethiopian coffee that was really tasty. read more

Best coffee on the island but also the most crowded coffee shop I've been to! The line wrapped around the entire cafe and took a while to get through. They were out of several things but what we did end up getting was delicious. Great outdoor seating and comfy indoor seating. The shop also sells some cute merchandise. read more

Our family has been staying on Ocracoke on and off for over 20 years now. And it's never a visit to the island without a visit to this cute, floral coffee shop off one of the back roads on the island. The bakery has some great options. The cinnamon rolls and croissants are a personal favorite, but I've never had a bakery item that I didn't enjoy here. The only thing I don't like is the service in the coffee shop is always hit-or-miss. They're either really friendly or really rude. And during the off-season, the shop is usually closed before noon time so being early is almost crucial, despite not being a huge morning person. I understand it's an island vibe and it's not like you're going to find a lot of other options elsewhere. But I come here for the hot teas, chai tea lattes and the yummy smoothies. Try the orange creamsicle smoothie if you haven't already...it just may change your life like it did mine... read more

The vibe here is serene, the staff are so polite and helpful and the espresso drinks were exactly what I had been longing for. They offer a wonderful place to chill and just read a book during the day or hang out at night and enjoy the copious array of activities! This is our "go to" place as soon as we arrive on the island. read more

By far the best place to hang out in Ocracoke. It's nice to cycle here from my hotel, get a wonderful coffee and a muffin, then curl up in a corner to read a book or take in the ambiance. Free wifi makes this place doubly hard to leave. If my family didn't want to go to the beach or explore the island, I think I could easily stay in here all morning. The only downside is the long lines at peak coffee-drinking hours during the high season, but at other times, this place is perfect. read more

This is one of my favorite spots on the island. I was able to experience new items to me like bacon-jalapeño cream cheese for my asiago cheese bagel and what is essentially a monster muffin. The muffin was to die for, especially for people who like sweets! I don't recall my latte's name but it was also good! Outdoor seating is plentiful which was appreciated. read more

I really wanted to love this place as the ambiance is fun and welcoming but the staff ruined it for us. Of the 3 ladies working while we were there, only one smiled. I can hear them complaining to each other while we were in the long line. When we were up to order, I asked a couple questions about their coffee and she responded as if I am wasting her time and holding up the line. Finally at the register, we asked if they do free coffee refills for the house blends and she responded that they do. I drank half my coffee and since it was cold from adding creamer I decided to take her up on the refill to warm it back up. She filled my half cup and walks over to the register and rings me up for a new drink. I reminded her that she told my husband and me that there isn't a charge and her response was "no, I told you that we HAVE refills". What the heck does that mean? You should say, we charge for refills, not, yes, we have refills! If you didn't communicate properly then you should have just given me the half cup of house coffee, rather than have me upset and embarrassed and not want to return to your establishment. Not sure that half cup was worth a disappointed customer but since this place seems to always have lines, they probably don't care about my complaint, anyway. read more

Bottom Line: A cute coffee shop that roasts its own beans and serves coffee drinks, pastries and related items. Ocracoke Coffee Co is probably the only place open on the island at 7am and it was busy! Fortunately, the Ocracoke Coffee Co was ready for the crowds and well staffed with lots of friendly baristas. We are both simple coffee drinkers so we enjoyed a medium roast brewed coffee and I had a delicious cinnamon bun. The front porch was bustling so we enjoyed our coffee and pastry in the back of the living room like space. It was confusing to figure out which door to enter. There is a door on the side/back to says use the back door but the crowds were pouring in the front door. I'm a rule follower so I was really concerned about whether I was using the right door! Aside from that initial confusion, everything was good! If I return to Ocracoke Island, I would definitely return to this coffee shop. read more

coffee was fantastic, but the guy serving us was not very friendly. could be an off morning. 7:30 in the morning at a coffee shop should be a little more approachable he didn't seem like he wanted to be there. maybe that's not the job for him! read more

Great coffee and lattes, amazing smoothies (option to add espresso!), and the baked goods are simply amazing. Try a cinnamon roll or peanut butter cookie!! We found ourselves coming back to this place with more and more frequency during our 2 week stay. read more

Ya gotta stop by Ocracoke Coffee for some delicious brewed coffees, expresso and lattes. And don't forget the pastries they are one of a kind! read more

The coffee was good, the pastries and food options were delicious, and the smoothies were average. Two out of three times we were there, the employees were uncomfortably rude. The last trip, the guy at the counter made me feel like crap. I asked him which smoothie was the most sweet. (we wanted to give some sips of it to our sick 15 month old who needed fluids and didn't have much of an appetite) He looked at me like I was an idiot for asking the question, and because I didn't know how to pronounce the protein shot for my wife's smoothie. At one point, he actually said, "What do you want," despite me taking a very brief moment to think about it. Middle aged gentleman with shoulder length hair. I felt very uncomfortable and I made a different choice during my remaining coffee trips. If not for that, I would give it for stars. Not cool. read more

Great breakfast shop for coffee, smoothies, bagels, treats, and just to hang out & read a book or watch the view from their expansive outdoor seating. They also have a relaxing indoor seating area where you can kick back on one of their couches and read a nice book from their bookshelves. Upon entering, i was initially thrown off by the long line but now i understand people come here for the quality. I got a seasame bahel woth PB&J and a smoothie. Will continue to come here every time im in ocracoke. read more

Great spot but very popular during the season. This Memorial Day weekend is looking like not so busy due to bad weather. Worth the walk in the rain to beat the line. read more

We could hang out here all day thanks to the excellent coffee, yummy pastries, & mellow atmosphere. Honestly, we would if they were open past noon! I hadn't been here in 15 years, and it's still my fav business on the island. read more

Great place - cool outdoor patio and pretty interior. We only got coffee there nut they had a pastry counter and offer bagels too. Iced coffee was a bit bitter for my liking but Sweet n Low helped a little. I just had to put more in than i usually do. They have a lot of smoothie options that looked great - I'll have to get one next time! read more

I've been going to the coffee house for 20+ years and, while it's changed quite a bit between changing ownership and post-hurricane flooding (as can be expected), it's maintained its quality and service the entire time. Their coffee is the best on the island (I'm a big fan of all of their dark brews) and the selection of pastries they offer will never disappoint. It's one of my favorite places on tne island and I have a lot of great childhood memories there, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. The line does get long in the morning, but it's one of two coffee shops on the island and is much more well known than the other so it can't be surprising. Even though the line may be out the back door, it's always moved quickly and efficiently. They have menus near the back of the line for folks to look at so they can prepare to order at the counter too! The coffee house has always been a great must-do for the island. Come at opening if you want to zip through a minimal line! read more

There are other places to 'coffee up' on the Island; none quite like this though. If you get there early when the locals gather; you'll get the skinny on who is having what for dinner, who is in the hospital, their condition and what the prognosis might be. They bring their dogs who also exchange pleasantries. It's all quite nice to enjoy the local vibe. They have a much better selection of smoothies than coffee. With names like the funky money and dirty monkey...how can you fo wrong. read more

So believe it or not this is the only coffee place on the island I think that they focus so much on smoothies, and they need to focus more on breakfast items sandwiches they need to modernize the place they need to move all those couches in the back and put tables more for the customers to sit very outdated. More pastries, more donuts and more breakfast items, we waited in line for about 20 minutes, but we had no other place to go. They stop serving bagels at 1045am. The girl behind the counter with the black hair in a pigtail is super rude. Just do your job snd of you are not happy then find something else to go. Manager does not care. . Can you give your clients more of a choice scale down on the smoothies . If I was rich, trust me, I would open up a breakfast place here on the island and I would rocket. This is a reply to your response. To my review it stands you are a breakfast, place the woman behind the counter, handle herself, very unprofessional, and if you condone her a that action, then expect to your character as a manager. You are a breakfast place you do have to change the whole appearance at the place. It's outdated and smells horrible. I did write a review, drink my coffee, and I will do it again. I stand with my review and if I can give you a negative I would you're a breakfast place but yet you stop serving breakfast items at 10:45 or 11 o'clock that makes no sense to me, I did ask for a cappuccino and I asked for a large and she proceeded to give me an attitude she advised me to go to the convenient store and buy a my own bagels and cream cheese that is no way to speak to a client how unprofessional when I asked her for her name she said that she didn't have to give me her name. what a way to speak to your clients. If she was properly trained, she knows that that's no way to speak to your client I don't think so. I think you need to retrain her maybe the whole staff. anyways instead of going back-and-forth with your client, you should take this recommendation and try to do better, but I guess you're not going to that speaks for the character of you and your establishment I hope that fellow customers nearby with you and go somewhere else. I did go another place and I would recommend that other place before yours anytime I did have an amazing time in the island except for your establishment. read more

You are on island so what are you gonna do. Acceptable coffee. I would avoid the food next time as they prepare everything with their bare hands. They then touch everything else with those hands, cash, register, you name it. Rush to this place right after ferry landing as the line was quite long. read more

Really good as always, I typically stop once or twice on my visits every year. Lines get REALLY long even if you get there a little bit after they open. Still waited like 20 minutes. If the lines weren't so long I would get it every morning I am there. read more

The food is amazing, get the red rover smoothie and a blueberry muffin. And go EVERY DAY OF VACATION .

They were not tollerant of our lifestyle choices and refused my partner service. I wanted to still try the coffee. We had an hour ferry ride to get there. I got a mediocre cup of coffee that I could have gotten anywhere. They are very judging of how people look. I would just avoid it. read more
