Daily stop for us when visiting OBX. They have super great coffee and very personable staff that make cute puppaccinos.

Great place to relax with a coffee. Good selection with pastries and even have can beers to go! Enjoy the artwork or meet the owner's sweet dog. A short walk to the beach. read more

Love, love, love this place. This is the coffee place I have been yearning for on OBX for years! The coffee is delicious and smooth, not bitter like the other places around. Went to this place everyday we were visiting for the week it was that good (I usually only buy a couple times during the week max). Even the rest of my family agreed it was that good because they also went all week. The owner and staff are super friendly and helpful too which even makes it that much better. I fell in love with the Lebanese Blonde latte. Definitely make this place your go to for coffee in OBX. read more

I heard really good things about this place. However I was extremely disappointed. The line was long so I was hoping the coffee was worth waiting for. Turns out the line was long because the employees are just really slow at their jobs. They also are not very good at making the drinks. Forgot the chai flavoring in my dirty chai. Gave me the wrong cream cheese flavoring, and the coffee drinks were border line undrinkable and definitely unappetizing. The only reason this place gets 2 stars and not one is because it is nice inside, but I'd rather go somewhere else and actually enjoy my drink read more

Great coffee, ice cream, beer, and baked items. Great atmosphere as well. Cool little drink shop. Always on the agenda when in the OBX.

Love this cute little vibe. The art is awesome. The space is cozy! It's even dog friendly inside! Everyone is welcoming! Drinks are always delicious and fresh baked goods! Love a local coffee shop! read more

For your coffee drinkers and non coffee drinkers alike, everyone in our group loved the drinks we tried. Ol'Helga was delicious, and tasted more of hot chocolate thank coffee, so for you mom coffee drinkers who need a pick me up I recommend that! They even have a beautiful outside seating area, don't recommend on a cold day, but for those who go on a nice enjoyable outside day it's a must! read more

Hotel coffee is abysmal, so we went in search of a good cup. This place is so very charming. They seem to roast their own coffee or share the location with another outfit that does. The coffee is great. Pastries were nice, too. read more

The blueberry scone was so warm and fresh! Loved it! The ham and cheese crescent was said to be delicious by my travel partner. Our drinks were also very good. Definitely stop here instead of the long lines for mediocre Dunkin! read more

Best coffee in OBX, don't go anywhere else! Do yourself a favor and drive past DD, Front Porch and Starbucks... Super cute little place with very friendly staff that serves up a great product. (: read more

Awesome coffee and breakfast options. Lots of art to look at and hangout while enjoying some good coffee. It is a bit small so there is sometimes a wait out the door but it is absolutely worth it. You can even buy some beer and hard kombucha to take with. Pet friendly too! read more

Always like to pop in whole visiting OBX. Great coffee and pastries. Love that they offer many options for dairy free creamers. It is so cool inside that I could literally stay all day. Love the vibe and people. One of my favorite finds at the beach! read more

Such a fun and tasty dive! So many options to taste and local items to take home! Service was friendly and so great to hear them call their customers by name as they walked in. A local place that treats the tourist just the same. read more

Super cute coffee shop. We've been stopping by daily on our vacation this week. Try anything is all delicious! I love that its pet friendly and local artists have their work for sale on the walls. Charming. Thanks for everything! read more

my boyfriend and i are visiting kitty hawk and we love trying out local coffee shops and saw this one at the top of the list on yelp and decided to give it a try. as soon as we walked in the barista welcomed us and even gave us some recommendations when we were unsure of what we wanted. we went with the recommendations given ( iced oat milk latte with white mocha for me and a caramel cold brew for my boyfriend) both of the drinks were fantastic! not only was the service and the coffee great but the shop was very cool to walk around and had art hanging on the walls. definitely would recommend this is you visit the area! read more

See all

What a great vide. I love finding local coffee houses when I'm on vacation. This one is really good. I'll be back all week.

A little slice of refreshing artsy weirdness; a breath of fresh air from all the tourist traps. Great coffee with lots of original drink items/ideas. read more

The place to go for coffee and breakfast pastries! Went there everyday I was down there and was never disappointed. The baristas picks are creative and taste delicious, my go to was the Lebanese Blonde. If there is a line outside it's worth waiting for. read more

Very cute little coffee shop right by my families beach house. It has a cozy feel with little nooks to sit and drink coffee or ponder life surrounded by local art and the blissful aroma of coffee. I'm a caffeine addict so I went with the Red Dawn (coffee plus espresso) which was absolutely perfect! I'll be stopping by again later. and tomorrow. :) read more

Ashley’s Espresso Parlour - The "high maintenance" selection of drinks! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

Stopped here on a recommendation from a server at the Village Tavern in Duck. Super cute and clean. The Dirty Bird (chai latte w espresso) with almond milk was absolutely perfect. The muffins looked great, but I was full from breakfast. read more

Exactly what I was hoping for :) will be coming back! They have a full coffee menu (with oat milk) Amaaaaaazing shakes and pastries I haven't yet tried but definitely will! read more

Delicious coffee! And super friendly service! I highly recommend the "high maintenance" drinks. The ol helga tasted just like a hot chocolate and the white haze was super delicious too! read more

A very charming local coffee shop just a couple blocks from the beach. And very dog friendly!

The coffee is good, scone was delicious. But the wait for 2 coffees was horrible. 40 minutes is not a way to get customers to return.

Such a cozy place with so many offerings. I'm not a coffee drinker, but wanted to check it out. I had a fluffy blueberry muffin that was fresh, crumbly and delicious. I could see the other ones still in the pan on the counter, so these weren't coming in frozen. Gotta love a local place that cares enough to make their food in house. The ambiance was comfy and not at all pretentious, even though it felt like a coffee spot in a funky city rather than a beach town. I'll be back for sure. read more

Perfect rainy day pick-me-up in the OBX! We sat on the top deck - covered and in cozy hammock chairs - and enjoyed visiting and sipping on our lattes. Wonderful house espresso blend. We'll be back! Thank you Ashley's! read more

I love this place!!! My friend's Aunt is the owner and she suggested this place to me. I went and I've been several times now and every time have had excellent service. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the coffee is to die for. read more

STELLAR cold brew. EXCELLENT crumb cake. Staff was awesome too. I'll definitely be back as much as possible.

Went there yesterday for the first time. The coffee roaster was great and spent a lot of time finding a blend I might enjoy. Got home this morning and brewed a pot and OMG. Planning a trip back down so I can get more! read more

We tried all of the privately owned coffee shops down obx and this was by far our favorite! We went multiple times during our stay and even stopped early in the morning on our way out of town. Tons of coffee options and the croissants and coffee cakes are amazing as well. Laidback, eclectic environment with an upper deck available outdoors. Bonus - dog friendly! read more

This is my go-to summer coffee spot. Everyone is really nice and the drinks are always consistent and great. They have a lot of options, and the whole atmosphere is calming and creative. The art is great, they occasionally have fresh cut bouquets for sale, and they have all these great couches and seating areas. Just walking in the door makes you happy, it's just one of those places. Not to mention- it's pretty inexpensive for how great the coffee always is. I'd definitely recommend. read more

Stopped here on our way home. Very good service with delicious pastries. Worth deviating from Starbucks to support a local business.
