There's…read moreplenty of free parking in the lot in the complex, but there's limited indoor and outdoor seating. They've recently changed their weekend hours to close earlier at 12pm on Saturdays. They also accept tap to pay, but enact a % charge on all credit transactions. The ambiance inside can be described as rustic and quaint. It's really cute if you're looking to read and chill. It can get crowded as they're usually busy, but this is a great place to come if you're looking to relax. They have both hot and iced drinks with milk alternatives. The iced drinks come in medium (16oz) and large and the hot drinks come in small (12oz), medium and large. The banana cream pie latte was delicious. It tasted like caramel and bananas, paired well with the coffee, and was the perfect amount of sweet. The bumbleberry pie was okay too but the fruit and coffee combination wasn't my favorite. I'd definitely recommend coming here in the morning for coffee and browsing for books if you're in Duck, NC.

Well, now 4 years later when we return for the week, it is part of our routine to grab breakfast or a smoothie before we start the day. The employees are so kind and service is great always. And, what I really love about Outer Bean is the food. They give options for food that is healthy. But, when on vacation always nice to treat yourself too. The avocado toast, bacon egg and cheese and smoothies are delicious. The avocado toast with basil pesto, tomato and avocado so fresh...my favorite. But, the baked goods and cookies and muffins a hit too. 5 stars!!!

UNLESS YOU HAVE 20+ MINUTES TO KILL, GO ELSEWHERE - they are not the only game in town! (Head over to the Sbux in Harris Teeter across the highway - you will get served MUCH faster - and for chrissake, it's just a lousy stinkin' Sbux drink nbd.) I walked over from Marshall's for a "quick" or what I thought was quick anyway (!) hot latte. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Walked in and ordered at the counter - NO ONE ELSE IN LINE AND 2 PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME WAITING FOR THEIR DRINKS. TOOK THEM 25 MINUTES TO MAKE MY DRINK. NO LIE. Had I mobile ordered though, I would have gotten it MUCH sooner. Mobile order customers were in and out in no time. Baristas crankin' them mobile order drinks out like there was no tomorrow. I absolutely cannot stand Sbux shops that prioritize mobile orders over walk ins. MAKES NO SENSE AND IS INFURIATING. Do NOT come here if you don't mobile order or if you're in a hurry or during peak coffee times (early am, weekends any time, etc). Even after 20 minutes waiting for my drink, the barista had THE NERVE to announce "sorry folks - we're doing the best we can - thanks for your patience - we'll be right with you." The number of people waiting for their drinks to be made kept getting bigger and biggee - the waiting area filled up. And it stilllllll took another 5-10 mins for me to get my drink. ANDDDD I actually had to go up to the barista to ask when my drink would be ready - she asked for my name, I told her, she checked and my drink was sitting on the counter with another batch of already made drinks! No "oops" "sorry" "my bad". Nothing. LAST TIME I WILL BE GOING TO THIS LOCATION. RIDICULOUS. AND ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH THE AGGRAVATION.

First thing I did was preorder my boxes.. yes boxes since we had a houseful of young adults.

Now the challenge of escaping the lot. That was easy peasy because this was a 2 person effort! Donuts were so cute. Each hand crafted with super cute colors. They tasted so fresh and "sweet".

I walked in with my son and family to purchase a few items. Upon entering, the staff member at the counter did not acknowledge us, But at checkout, he refused to complete the sale, then wrongfully accused me of attempting to purchase liquor for my own son. He claimed my son had touched a bottle and referenced security cameras as justification for denying the sale. At no point did my son touch any alcohol, nor was there any indication of inappropriate behavior on our part. This kind of baseless accusation and poor customer treatment is unacceptable.
