Front Porch is my absolute favorite coffee place in OBX. It doesn't matter which location I go to…read more I have experienced nothing but AMAZING service at each location. The staff at each one is always warm and inviting and goes out of their way. to help and say hi. My go to drink is ALWAYS a Large Iced West 3rd (if you haven't tried it you should!) We usually stay in Corolla where there is not a location and I ALWAYS make it appoint to drive out to where they are. I love this place so much that at Christmas time I always order a couple bags of their Holiday blend to have back here at home in Maryland since I unfortunately do not live there. I HIGHLY recommend you try any one of their locations at least once while you are there, I guarantee you will be hooked!!!

Really enjoyed this cafe. I already had too much coffee for the day so opted for their Italian soda…read moreand added cherry flavor which was really good. They have a good selection of coffee and plenty of space to do some work. I appreciated the counter that looked out the window and had a power outlet at every seat (the struggle is real at other places to find a place to plug in). They have a very large banquet table which I'm sure is great if you have a large group that needs it. They have longer ours than some other cafes and are open until 6pm so I was very happy about that!

The workers have a large area to prep food so things happened super efficiently. Despite being constantly busy, they were friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. There is ample seating in the outdoor patio as well as around the store on the "sidewalk". We took advantage of a nook outside of the market area, which was nicely shaded with tables and chairs. There was also a lot of comfy seating inside with a couple of nooks furnished with chairs and couches for families to sit in. Past the cafe is a market area with merchandise and wine. Can't wait to be back!

I like the fact that they have extra large coffees (which most cafe's don't have). This is a real coffee drinkers paradise! They do have wine and beer as well and awesome sandwiches.

The parking here is abysmal. Loads of people out the door for something that is just okay. I think the place used to be a vacation home so it makes sense why there isn't any parking. If this was more of a hole in the wall hidden gem type of place I think I could get down for it. Just not worth the trouble in my opinion.

This was one of the best service we have ever gotten here in the Outerbanks. Most is lukewarm but over here folks are greeting you from the very first step you go in. The guy who is ringing everyone up was very nice as well. Now let's talk about the biscuits. Biscuits so famous they start coming in hot at 5:30 am. Biscuits so famous that there's always a guaranteed line! Biscuits so famous they have a rather fascinating name accompanying it. It was great especially for breakfast we came back at 7:00 am determined to get some of those biscuits goodness and we got it piping hot and delicious. Prices are affordable and great selection. I love places like this unassuming but delightful! So whenever you are in the Outerbanks. Give them a try! Friendly service and good affordable food!

We also got a half dozen regular biscuits to go. They were the perfect mix of light and buttery and not too greasy. Next time we will try the blueberry and cheese biscuits and hash browns. Parking can be tricky, so be patient. The line will probably be long but they go fast! Fun souvenir alert. Tons of t shirt and hoodie options along with stickers, cozies, and lighters. Tip: There is indoor seating!

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. ‍

Do you remember penny candy? Well....it's no longer a penny but I bet Forbes has your fav. I was excited to see such a variety. If you are looking for souvenirs then you can also find a bevy of really nice things to gift friends and family (or yourself) to remind you of your trip. The only stroke was the lack of red coins. I'm not fond of red hot dollars but the gummy cherry coins are my fav...and I couldn't find them.
