Friendly staff, great lattes, pastries and bagels, and if you want some coffee beans this is the place! They have many different types for your brewing pleasure. A definite stop.

Great coffee, great staff, great local place! <3. Charming atmosphere combines with friendly staff and great coffee for a wonderful OBX coffee experience. A friend of mine has been ordering his coffee from them for years after falling in love with their coffee on his honeymoon. I can see why. I took his advice and will be back again. I... More

For a look up on my phone, boy did we luck out. Great service, extremely tasty coffee, and locally operated roasters to boot. Couldn't be happier. Been there multiple days in a row now. Same great service every day so far. Bought a pound of one of their morning roasts, which they heat sealed to preserve freshness. Nice place ...... More

This place is really great. Huge variety of coffee that they will serve pretty much any way you want it. Prices are competitive and with three locations on the island you will never be too far from good coffee. Starbucks wishes they could have baristas this friendly and the adorable ambiance of a corner coffee shop.

Loved the coffee and the atmosphere - home town character and great service! They also had a lot of great gift merchandise and all things coffee and tea. Lots of great gift ideas for the coffee lovers in your family. Bead shop and ceramics next door too so great fun and energy with all three businesses!

This was our tenth year visiting the Outer Banks. When we're there, we go to the Front Porch...every day, without fail. The best coffee, the best service. All three locations are great, but we have a particular affinity for the original (smallest) one. Just a personal thing. All the staff are great, but Maria particularly stands out. The fancier drinks... More

I love my mochas and try to find places that make creative espresso drinks. I was very impressed with Front Porch Cafe. I got the West 3rd drink and it was amazing. My fav coffee experience on our vacation in OBX. I want to go back to try the rest of their selection. It was pricey though over $5 for... More

We stopped here on our way out and I was bummed I had not discovered this place earlier during our week on the beach. Best coffee hands down and most friendly and helpful staff I have ever encountered. Great pastries, tea and coffee. They custom made a tea drink for my wife who had some special dietary requirements and all... More

Enjoyed stopping in this place each time we visit the OBX. Happy to recommend it. You can drink your tasty coffee and watch the people next door paint their ceramics.
