First visit here and I think this is a great find for anyone looking for made from scratch breakfast options. While this is a smaller place there is great outdoor seating to compliment what they have inside. Most importantly, the seating outside is located on the west facing side of the building and it is covered----great protection from the early morning sun so you can enjoy an outside breakfast. Came with a group of five, one kid, and there were options for everyone. There is no waiter/waitress service so you view and select options from the menu and place orders at the register---names are called when ready. Everything worked smoothly and quickly even though this place was very busy. Love that all meals are served in biodegradable plates/bowls. The yogurt parfait was a healthy serving of yogurt, bananas, pineapple, and strawberries---2 thumbs up from the 9 year-old! Adults tried various combinations of there platters and everything was great. Highly recommend the hangover potatoes and the sourdough bread, both very unique. All-in-all, very good value for the quality of food. Highly recommend adding this to the vacation week breakfast options in Nags Head! read more

This cafe is super cute and the staff is very friendly. The menu is filled with a large variety of foods. The coffee came out very fast and was delicious! The food however, took a lonnggg time. I just got an egg sandwich with goat cheese - the goat cheese was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place if you have time to spare. Or just grab a quick coffee! read more

Absolutely adored this cute little coffee and breakfast spot! Located just a short ways away from the beach, the service was exceptional and the food and coffee was great. The price was maybe a bit expensive... But honestly they had really healthy options, and high quality ingredients, so taking that into account I think this is my favorite breakfast place in the general area read more

I'm considering it a hidden gem of sorts, had not known of it before - biscuit sandwich is huge - sausage is no food service warmed patty - you can tell how much effort goes into everything here. Will definitely return on future trips! (Minor suggestion: hot sauce packets to go) read more

Perfect seaside coffee place. Came here 3 mornings in a row during our OBX vacay. Their breakfast offerings are delicious and filling. They have limited indoor seating, but outdoors has plenty and its covered! read more

Great service and better food. Upon entering was handed a menu and put in a quick moving line to the register. Options are simple but all sounded fantastic. Really appreciated the specialty coffees listed, made selecting what we wanted much easier. They took our order quickly, were accommodating of substitutions we requested and were overwhelmingly friendly. Seating and atmosphere was great. Plenty of outdoor seating, though mildly cramped inside. Despite being swamped with customers, our drinks came out almost as fast as we could find a seat. It wasn't even 5 minutes later that our food came out hot and ready. Flavor was amazing. We both got a Hash bowl. Mine was salmon and sweet potatoes, hers was potatoes and sausage. Everything tasted extremely fresh, and quality. Some of the best food we've had in the area so far. Overall very happy with this small find, great people and fantastic food/ coffee. Would highly recommend. read more

I was genuinely surprised by how good the coffee and food were! The chicken sandwich was to die for, so flavorful and juicy! The place is cute inside, although limited seating but service was efficient and everyone was super friendly. Definitely will be back when we visit the area in the future. read more

I went in just for coffee. The guy that goes the place helped me and I ended up not getting what I really wanted because he suggested something else. I went outside and added some stuff I had in the car to it and I ended up throwing the coffee away and going somewhere else. It was so dark and bitter. I don't want to give it super low stars because it could've just been me and other people like it. It's a nice place. read more

BLUF: Strong coffee, breakfast and lunch. Sea Level Coffee and Kitchen is new to Nags Head and serving coffee, breakfast and lunch daily. The coffee is strong and serious which as a black coffee drinker I appreciate. They have all sorts of fancy coffee drinks but so far I have only tried to black iced coffee and coffee on nitro. Frankly, unless it's hot black coffee, I don't see my venturing too far from these staples when it comes to coffee. On my inaugural visit I tried the Crispy Honey Dipped Chicken Sandwich aka fried chicken on a biscuit. Um, yes, yes, please. To make it even better and messier I added a scrambled egg although you can also get your egg poached. As it was, I was up to my elbows in this messy sandwich - no complaints. It was excellent. I figured I would start my way at the top of the menu and work my way down. Sea Level has seating both inside and outside. On a pleasant summer morning my husband and I enjoyed sitting on the front porch and watching the constant shuffle of cars coming and going. This place is already popular! Sea Level has some good merch too including tees and hoodies with the store name and "Nags Head." Thank you Sea Level for making merch that doesn't say Outer Banks. I'll be back soon for more coffee, another breakfast sandwich and merch. read more

Excellent food, coffee, and service. I love the decor and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. There's lots of sitting space indoor and outdoor and would be a great place to go with friends. They also have a bench to wait for coffee and food to-go. I got the iced Paradise latte with oat milk and a breakfast sandwich with egg, goat cheese, bacon, and avocado which was very filling. I've been here multiple times and have enjoyed my drinks, food, and experience every time. The staff are so friendly and the wait time is not too bad. There are lots of vegan options, homemade syrups, and whole food options. I would highly recommend Sea Level to anyone who enjoys organic food and creative coffee. read more

Stopped here to grab a quick coffee and we were immediately greeted by staff, which was very nice. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. They have a pretty decent menu with lots of options. The coffee was very yummy and I would definitely be back here in the future. read more

Went here on our last day in OBX and it was a good experience! Staff were friendly and there was a steady flow of people throughout the hour that we stayed there. It seems to be a favorite of the area. Enjoyed our lattes and breakfast sandwiches. The atmosphere was nice and casual with ample seating. They don't have public WiFi, so keep that in mind if that's something you would require! read more

Service was nice and very welcoming. For the food however it's overpriced slightly, I got a sausage egg and cheese biscuit and only ate the eggs everything else just tasted off. read more

Overpriced and underwhelming. Paid 60 dollars for breakfast, and wasn't a decently sized meal. Food was meh.

The food was out of this WORLD. The staff was so incredibly kind & they were playing diggable planets which gets them 5 starts in ambiance alone. This is a must visit if you're in Nags Head or OBX in general. read more

First time in OBX and first time at Sea Level and I will be back!! Immediately greeted by the friendly staff and was served one of the BEST breakfast burritos and iced lattes I've ever had! Don't miss this place!! Such a cute building, happy 1 year Sea Level! Highly recommend the Basic Beach Burrito and Iced Vanilla Latte read more

We absolutely loved this place! The food is so unique and different than anything you can find in OBX. Chef Andy is very talented in creating menu items that are gourmet yet served with only a few minutes wait, thanks to a very well-trained and eager-to-please wait staff. We had breakfast I(burritos and bowls) there and went back the next day for seconds. The way the dishes are served in easy-to-handle packaging was much appreciated. The coffee and tea drinks that we had were phenomenal as well. I particularly liked the Dirty Chai Tea. Dining at Sea Level was definitely a highlight of our OBX trip. It's an experience that everyone should experience at least once, or it like us, twice and more! read more

First thing they do when you walk up the steps or open the door is greet you very politely and hand you a menu. They are very nice and welcoming here it gives you and instant vibe you fall in love with. I don't usually get the feelings of being welcomed like this so I wanted to write a review. There is a lot of thought put into the food and a there a lot of options and the food is all natural and prepared with care. I love this place I wish we had more atmospheres like this made by people like this In New Hampshire. Thank I enjoyed the experience. I recommend this to anyone. read more

We had the bananas foster latte - iced with oat milk, the honey dipped chicken biscuit w/egg, a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and a breakfast burrito. The staff was lovely but we didn't love the biscuits - they fell apart. I thought the burrito was way overpriced - yummy but expensive. read more

Tried out this place after passing by and seeing the sign, the drinks could be better but the food? My god if nothing else stop here for breakfast! They were friendly and super fast! The parking is limited it is a shared parking lot m-f there are spots blocked off for the other business. If you can ride a bike or walk during the busy times that would be best since it's a small lot. We got the maple crunch and Thai coconut cold brew. The Thai has a coconut floater which I assumed meant cold foam... I was wrong. It's like a block of coconut milk? I don't know, they were both drinkable but there is better out there. read more

Very pleased with my lunch here. Coffee was serious business, you can tell they don't play about the quality of the coffee itself as well as the milk and syrups going in them. Loveddddd the sesame noodle bowl. Will be back read more

What a cool place. We had a chicken biscuit and a coconut yogurt bowl. First, I was greeted with a pleasant hello by the owner and he gave me some great recommendations for a first timer. I got a regular cup of coffee and my wife got a chai latte. Both piping hot. Secondly, since I had my WV shirt on one of the other employees got to talking about his family from WV. Both food items were very tasty. Plan to go back tomorrow to try other items on the menu. read more

Amazing atmosphere, incredibly kind staff, delicious real food and coffee. I wish we lived closer so we could go here more often!!

Pleasant shop, good music selection, friendly staff, tasty coffee and tea. Thanks for this morning oasis.

Great coffee and absolutely wonderful staff. Excited to go back while in Nags Head. Highly highly recommend!!!

We enjoyed our quick breakfast at Sea Level. You place your order at the counter and can eat inside or outside on the porch. We got the iced Paradise latte and Hangover hash. The potatoes were crispy and the dish was seasoned well. I really liked the taste of their espresso and the sweetness level of the latte. Service was fast, the people working were friendly, and we loved having breakfast on the porch! read more

I found this place near where I stayed while visiting Nags Head. I've been to many coffee shops along the East Coast but Sea Level's latte is outstanding! Simple yet delicious. Even tried the iced latte it was good also!The service was prompt and friendly. Their location is clean and inviting. The hardest part was finding parking during peak hours. Definitely stop in to try their brew. read more

Not a coffee snob by any means but that is some damn good iced coffee. Also got an egg and cheese biscuit, which was wonderful. But the breakfast egg rolls were the things my stomach dreams about. And the service was incredible. I had a very short but incredibly polite little man bring me my to-go order and he dapped me up so he's probably already cooler than me. Great spot, see you next time! read more

Very, very good! This was our first time having Sea Level and we will definitely be back. We got breakfast to go. We got the sausage biscuit, egg and cheese biscuit (added tomato and avocado), hangover hash (took off egg and added avocado), sweet potato hash, and egg and cheese biscuit (added bacon). The biscuits are so soft yet crispy, sweet and buttery, and are the perfect base for toppings. The eggs were fluffy and soft. The sausage and bacon were both flavorful and well cooked. The hangover hash was tasty, flavorful, and very fresh. The sweet potato hash was packed with flavor. It had the perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors, herby and a touch of spice. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a breakfast and lunch spot in Nags Head! Even though we got it to go, the short time spent inside the restaurant allowed us to enjoy the clean, calm vibe. Lastly, the people there were kind and welcoming. read more
