We saw that the Rope & ladder kitchen was closed but then found this by accident. They are one in the same. We were nervous about the line but it was fine. After ordering our various egg sandwiches and coffee we waited 20 minutes for the food. About the time, I'd imagine, it would have been for table service. Biscuits are huge and sweet. Eggs are equally generous. Açaí bowl was good. Coffee was very strong for my taste. True coffee lovers would appreciate. I, on the other hand, like very mild brew. Looking forward to going back. read more

Great chicken biscuit breakfast. The area is well covered in a tree canopy area with picnic tables and shade. One note is that the yelp menu listed family breakfast combos that included Buscuits, meats and other items. Seemed like a good deal to feed a family breakfast, but they actually are not on the menu there. I think it's a mistake with how the menu got posted on yelp. read more

Excellent cold brew. They have a very intricate system for said cold brew which seems to involve far more coffee terminology than is currently in my lexicon. Suffice it to say...I was impressed overall with their love for coffee. The interior is very cool as well as the staff. read more

Great coffee and breakfast, but it's not super quick. I had to come back and get more biscuits once already, I probably will again. read more

Best cold brew on the island. Hot tip to order ahead online so you're not waiting in a big group for long. So much props to the workers who pivoted to make things work during Covid times, like online ordering and an outside pick up window. I really appreciate a place that makes adjustments to help customers feel safe. Plus everything is delicious! read more

This is a great coffee shop with wonderful breakfast sandwiches. I would disregard most of the 1 Star reviews here and say they seem to either not understand what a coffee shop is or not understand what Saturday in OBX is like. You cannot stop here on the way out of town on Saturday or Sunday and expect things to be ready quickly, this is not McDonald's - let's be realistic. As for coffee, had an iced latte - very nice with counter culture coffee. Wish they had organic milk, but it was tasty none the less. Sausage, egg, and cheese was delish too. read more

Biggest mistake I made at the beach was not trying these biscuits until I was leaving town! The biscuit sandwiches were off the chart! I especially Loved the fried green tomato one! Fortunately I ordered half a dozen biscuits to go and I am now home, enjoying them for dinner. Honestly-- just amazing biscuits. Great customer service as w read more

I love this place! So beautiful and the owners are so kind. Drinks are great and the biscuits are literally to die for. I rave about this place all everywhere I go--there's nothing quite like it. read more

Understandably busy with Covid restrictions on a Saturday morning but with so many fun shops and such lovey seating waiting was no problem. The biscuits were a dream and we got our coffee quickly so we could sip while we shopped. Get totally safe the whole time, add it to your itinerary, but before12pm close! read more

Their biscuits are amazing! Coffee was great but completely outdone by the biscuits and gravy and breakfast bowl.

We started coming here in the summer of 2016 and they have never disappointed! Solid coffee (the cold brew is bonkers good) & breakfast is insanely good! The biscuits are big and fluffy and the preserves on the table are a perfect accompaniment! Seriously the best coffee on the OBX. If you're in Duck or passing thru, definitely stop here! read more

I thought the biscuits at this place were just OK. Also a lot of the things on the menu were not available. How is that possible so early in the morning. read more

Love this place. Only bummer was that they ran out of a lot of things by 9. Quality was excellent. Really appreciated that there were options for gluten free or clean eating. There is an excellent yoghurt bowl, coffee is amazing, would have loved to try the empanadas but they were gone. The portions and quality for the rest of my party was incredible. Everyone would go back. The wait staff was great. The girl at the register was a little rude, seemed annoyed to be there or asked questions but wouldn't have that impact the score. read more

Fantastic little hidden gem! I came here twice during my vacation and was sad I didn't know this place existed sooner. A little pricey, but worth it. First day I had the avocado toast (AMAZING) and the second day I had the açaí bowl (). I had a skinny caramel soy latte (hot, then iced) each time and it they were both great. Definitely visiting this great establishment next time I'm in town! read more

The best coffee I've ever had. When we arrived I was a little hesitant to wait in line since we were looking forward to getting to the beach nice and early but I am so glad we did! Their biscuits looked absolutely incredible. I tried a cold brew and an iced latte and both were absolutely outstanding! Upon arriving to duck, we decided we'd walk to a different coffee shop each day of the week, however, we changed our minds once we went to treehouse and ended up there every morning!!! read more

I am so upset I didn't discover this place until our last morning in Duck! The food is delicious and the kombucha and coffee is great, too. I honestly wish I could have tried everything on the menu--they had some unique (but delicious sounding) breakfast options. I ordered the biscuits and gravy and it came as one huge biscuit, crunchy and sweet on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The gravy was creamy, peppery, and had just the right amount of kick. A lot of their food is local and I even saw sprouted toast on the menu if that's more your thing. The atmosphere was really nice, kind of had a hipster vibe and plenty of space. read more

This place is closed also until October 30th don't waste your time several people went there today to try to eat but we're turned away due to stupidity of the owner. read more

We have been to Treehouse numerous times over the time span that it has been open. The food deserves 4+ stars, as the egg dishes are fresh and delicious and very inventive. The wild mushroom omelette with dill crema is outstanding, as is the honey and butter biscuit. It is by far one of the few carb laden breads that is worth every last morsel. Beyond heavenly. My one star is with the service. And I hope that the owner reads Yelp reviews, as they have a gem of a location and vibe, but my entire group of seven was so turned off by the service from start to finish. Orders are placed at the register upon arrival, and then one takes a table to await for their food. At the register, we were NOT greeted in any friendly manner by a young woman with short red hair (I'm only using a descriptive, as name tags are not worn, and if this were my own business, I would want to know who was turning away customers). As we began to place our orders, she discouraged us from staying by telling us "the wait for your food order will be 45 minutes, actually, AT LEAST 45 minutes". Since this is the last day for some of friends, we opted to stay. There was a table large enough for 7 - perfect. There was a dirty half filled coffee mug, along with a dirty napkin and half used water cups on the table. The table was in the front part of the restaurant, where the cashier and barista could plainly see. We had to bus someone else's dirty dishes and wipe down the table ourselves. Happily, our food came out in less than 10 minutes. And, again, 4+ stars on the food. But the owner had a potential to loose $140 sale AND loyal customers what with the attitude and discouragement of the young woman taking orders, and the lack of table service/cleanliness. I'm not eager to return now. read more

I have to come to this place every time that I come to OBX! The food is delicious as they have partnered with "The Rope Ladder Kitchen". The menu consists of a lot of biscuits, biscuit sandwhiches, omelets, even an acai bowl! The cold brew is very good but is ~$6 so I'm not sure if that is worth it. Other than that, I'm a big fan of the atmosphere here and the staff. read more

Great coffee shop in duck! It's located in a tucked away part of tourist shopping in the wooded area. They have plenty of seating and lots of outdoor shade. Their food has beautiful presentation and is VERY tasty. Their service is fast too!

It is always a warning sign when beautiful Yelp photo is drastically different from what is being served. I tried only half a sip of my capuccino, and immediately wanted to spit it out and rinse my mouth. I would not have another one, even if the Treehouse paid me handsomely. The staff is very nice, service is prompt, and the sitting area is great. read more

Over 45 minute wait for 2 coffees on a Wednesday at 11am. You don't find that out until you place your order online. Walk up ordering is not available. read more

The food we got was soooo good we had to come back the next day for breakfast again before leaving our vacation. We probably would've come back another day if we had discovered the place earlier. The first day I got the special, a chicken biscuit with local honey and my husband got the bacon cheddar omelette. His came with a biscuit and both of our plates had two slices of fresh cantaloupe. Both meals were amazing. I was jealous of the bacon in my husbands meal so I got the bacon egg and cheese biscuit the next day and my husband ordered the omelette again (it was that good). There was a lot of egg on the sandwich so it was pretty substantial. The bacon they use is thick, I'm not talking thick cut kind you get from the grocery store, but actually thick and smoked. It's melt in your mouth wonderful. First time my husband got cold brew coffee and he loved it. The second day we showed up a little earlier and it was a bit more crowded. It took awhile to get our food (but the drink was fast) and the food was so worth the wait. The staff was really nice too! read more

This is the second time I've been here. I got the vanilla latte and the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. Absolutely delicious. The first time I can I only got the Japanese pour over cold coffee which was also very good. This place has a nice vibe great place to relax in the off season on bad weather days. Only downside is that during busy season it's hard to find seating. read more

Came for breakfast on a Tuesday morning in August. It was a bit of a rough start but the food ended up being really satisfying! We waited in line for 30 minutes and then ordered up front. They said it would take 35 minutes to get our food, but it took 25 minutes. It was kind of hard to find a table, many were full and many had people's dishes on them and took a while to be cleared away. The $5 Cold brew had ice from top to bottom- very strong though. They had no pancakes or waffles on this day, just French toast, and I was really hoping for a sweet breakfast. Instead, I had a biscuit with ham, egg, and honey, which came with pineapple. It was all so good, and I added some jelly/jam from the table. They perfectly fried the egg, the ham was thick and flavorful, a bit salty, but I enjoyed it! The omelet special with pancetta, cheddar, and sun dried tomato was fluffy and delicious! Their Biscuits are huge and buttery. Great food all around! read more

In my experience, my daughter and I went at 12:00 on Wednesday were they turned us away. We thought they were opened to 1:00. We looked at the electric sign were the hours are posted and it said it closed at 12:00. We decided we will get it tomorrow and looked and the sign that said they were closed at 1:00 tomorrow. It is the next day and we go at 12:03 and it is closed. The woman who owns this location confirmed that she did change her hours after a staff meeting and turned us away again. She lost around $16.00. I now understand why they have an electric sign, so they change their hours at a moment notice. If you choose to visit, I wish you luck that you can guess their hours. We certainly could not. read more

Such a bite little place that's tucked away in the shops! I have to go back because the breakfast looks so good!

I am an avid coffee lover and drinker, and it is rare for me to give such a high rating for coffee! This stuff is amazing! I had an iced coffee and it was bold and vibrant! Besides the coffee, the atmosphere was calm and friendly. I entertained myself with the music and wonderful books they had (i.e. One appropriately about tree houses around the world). The staff was very kind as well. Bravo! read more

Warning. Coffee only at 7:30. Biscuits ordered at 8, came at 8:25. Girl at the counter was not helpful. Went in later in the week to a 2 hour wait. I left, but stopped back later in the afternoon to find out they stop serving food at noon. (They close at 4). The same girl was there and was snooty. Bottom line is the biscuits are good, but everything else stinks. The help, the hours and the attitude. Find another place to get your coffee. read more

A very good coffee shop in the Scarborough Faire shops in Duck. There's little in the way of free Wi-Fi in the Outer Banks so come for the coffee. They have a large variety of slow drip brews and the usual choices as well. The prices are comparable to Starbucks but it's much more unique and worth your visit and money. read more

I really enjoyed this coffee house! It is a bit hipster and there's a line but it's worth the wait. Make sure you have an hour if you plan to stay for breakfast. You order everything at the counter. They make your coffee order immediately and bring your food. Seating is pub style which is fun. I ordered the pimento cheese and bacon sandwich. I'm sure it was over 2000 calories but it's amazing! Fried green tomato, pimento cheese, thick cut bacon on a "made from scratch" biscuit. My husband ordered the huevos wrap. Very good as well. I would definitely go back. read more

The best French Toast on this planet! Super friendly staff and nice and clean facility.

The food and atmosphere here is interesting, but the service and logistics are so painful that it ruins the experience completely. It's obvious that the owners know that they're catering to renters that likely won't be back, but after two years in a row of being disappointed and mad, we definitely won't be returning for a third time. read more

My real quibble is that when you pay, there is a screen that shows the total only. It doesn't show the items ordered or the tax separate from the pretotaled items. They will not give you a paper receipt only a text or emailed one which means they have no respect for one's private information and you have to wait for when they send it to you. So if you don't get what you ordered you have no recourse to argue since your receipt may not be immediatly available should you had given them you personal phone numbers or email address(( that you have to worry would be sold to spammers). Then because you can't separate what the tax is vs the food totals, it makes it hard to figure out the tip(which despite what some catty waitresses have said on line and other venues, should be figured pretax not post tax). The food was okay, the wait was 25 minutes or what they had advertised on their message placard at the register...so no justifiable complaint there. But when I complained about not having a paper receipt the waitress flat toned insisted I wasn't going to get one. I'm sure she felt justified that one less paper receipt not given out had just saved a sea turtle someplace. Not being able to immediately see what I had ordered with prices and figures meant that I had to "guess" what the tip should have been. I did ask if the tip suggestions shown on the screen were pre or post tax and after some hemming or hawing she said.."after tax". Not knowing what the state and meals tax was in Duck, NC because that info was not going to be shown to me by the obviously woke and enviromentally conscious young miss, I made the best guess I could as to what the tip should be. Perhaps the tip should have been more or less...but I had no information other than a best guess! read more

We got breakfast to go from here about a month ago. Hands down the best breakfast burrito I have ever had in my life! Service was friendly and food was made to order. This place filled up quick and had a steady line within an hour after opening. My husband loved the homemade biscuit sandwiches and the French toast looked amazing! We will definitely be back! read more

Absolute great food in a great setting. It was only 50F outside, but had brunch outdoor in the sun in the garden at a picnic table. Coffee was excellent and the food even better. read more

I'm probably not the one to ask about their coffee. I thought it was OK but maybe I'm used to a darker roast. The breakfest biscuit sandwich was the real deal. I liked the sausage-egg- cheese over the bacon but they will be sure to please. Perhaps the best biscuits I have ever had. They are very large, nicely toasted on the outside, delicate inside. Yummm! Worth it! read more

Awesome coffee! This is my favorite coffee in OBX (and we've tried a few...). Atmosphere amongst the Scarborough Faire ships is fun, with a nice porch along the side overlooking the little fountain and garden area. You can get anything from a cold brew to a pour over. We just had the drip coffee and it was great. Food from the rope ladder (attached) is great too, but took a long time to get (30+ min). The biscuits are fantastic, if you're up for a wait. Also a good place w babies/kids because there's room for strollers out on the porch. read more
