Adorable coffee shop with speedy service, lots of choices, and friendly baristas. The scones were so fresh- WAY better than any scone I've had before. Latte was nice and smooth and black coffee was super flavorful! read more

I love coffee but wasn't a fan of this coffee. The baked goods were stale. The shop is too cluttered and not a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. Maybe a local favorite but not a favorite of this out of towner. read more

Was on vacation to OBX and was most impressed with Ashley's of any restaurant/creamery/café visited. Kind staff, sweet specialty drinks, and artsy ambiance were the highlights. Our group went multiple times over the course of our trip, and everything I had was amazing. I got the chai cold brew shake, an iced butter beer latte, and an everything bagel with onion cream cheese. The only thing that was mediocre was the bagel--everything else was amazing! I tried my friend's ice white mocha raspberry drink, and it was superb. Well done! read more

Is there any better than coffee after coming off the beach? Ashley's is the best coffee on the Outer Banks and just steps from Helga Beach Access so whether I'm warming up after sunrise on a December morning or grabbing an Iced Lebanese Blonde after a hot day, it's my go to. The staff are friendly and chill. The music is always on point.Im a big fan of their cranberry orange muffins. They also stock great handmade items like earrings and pottery. You can pick from a great selection of beer. They even have amazing ice cream sandwiches featuring coffee ice cream. Be sure to pick up beans (we usually choose the Red Dawn blend) roasted on site for your beach house. The saddest day of the week is when we have to head home to Pennsylvania, but we always soften the blow by grabbing coffee from Ashley's for the road. Until next time! read more

This was my first stop during my first trip to the outer banks and it was one of the best coffees I've ever had with great service! 10/10 recommend. read more

Coffee snobs. This is your place. Cortado. Americano. The profile on the beans is so good. As good as anywhere I've been. The outside looks sketch, but they will take care of you once inside. Buy some beans for home. Legit! read more

Ashley's Espresso Parlour is the very best coffee place in the #OBX! The coffee is excellent and each order is prepared exactly the way you want it- if you don't know what you want, they have some very creative flavor combos or can prep to meet your vision. The parlour is spacious with lots of cozy seating, decorated with art from local artists (I always see something I want) and they have outdoor space with seating as well. People may not be aware that Ashley's roasts their own beans and can send their magical beans directly to you, even if you live out of state. So check out their website and try a few of their coffee bean varieties. Jamelle's Love espresso is our favorite Thank you Ashley and Eric!!! read more

Eclectic cool spot to grab a delicious cup of coffee and a breakfast treat to go or hang out in the cool on "Central Perk" style seating. While the furniture is older it is sooo comfortable. Also checkout the local art for sale while you're there. Conveniently located in Kitty Hawk & not a chain! Come support our local businesses and chill for a while read more

Amazing. Absolutely delicious! Super busy but they are so fast and the coffees were perfect every time. Just a heads up that the parking is rough so we would have one person order and the other circle the block and it just made life so much easier. read more

It was fast, the coffee was good, the service was good, the interior felt a little crowded, but it was kitschy and lovely.

First time here after visiting OBX for many years. My new favorite coffee shop. Helpful, friendly service and great coffee with so many options. The baked goods we ordered, blueberry scone and muffins, were delicious as well. read more

Roomy, lovely find after a long ride to the beach. Delicious coffee, friendly staff and a "hey, stay a while" vibe. Screw Starbucks, this is the play, y'all. read more

The coffee was "eh", the cookie was the only good thing about that shop. Their merchandise was immodest and had repeated cussing, definitely not a good place for kids! Waiter was friendly. read more

I didn't eat at Ashley's but they advertise breakfast sandwiches, but they only have bagels w/cream cheese and croissants filled with spinach. They were very nice just not clear about the menu offerings. It appeared their coffee drinks were very popular. read more

Not a coffee snob by any means, and I'm always up for something new to me. After a relative pushed this place called Ashley's hard for days, I decided I o give it a try. Not sure what it was, but our coffee was awful. Even the cold brew my wife got was undrinkable. We do have some coffee snobs in the family, so we had them try both. Even they couldn't drink it. Maybe it was the day, maybe it was the particular brew. Either way, it'll be a while before returning. Parking is weird. Wheelchair sign is posted sideways and there are no spaces painted. So, really no idea where to park. Just...park, I guess. Inside felt cramped and a little overwhelming. Ladies behind the counter were nice enough, but also gave off a vibe of being annoyed we were there. It was hard to explain. read more

Amazing coffee. Really good pastries. So why 3 stars? There were two gentleman while I was there that seemingly worked there/were owners that had no shoes on and were freely walking around the kitchen. Completely and utterly repulsive. read more

This is one of the best coffee shops me and my girlfriend have ever been too! I highly recommend this place and wish I was local to OBX to get more drinks here! They have great service, get here earlier to avoid the wait, this place is busy for a reason! The decorations and shop are great too! They have really cool art pieces on sale. They offer lots of seating inside and outside which is very nice as well! Go here if you're in the area! 10/10. read more

I've tried several places in the area for espresso beverages, and this wasn't the best of any of them. Took 4 times to get them to "understand" what I ordered, and they still got the wrong size. I even pointed to the cup I wanted and got the smaller one, so what I got was far stronger than I wanted. They seem to have not much of a clue on how to properly steam milk for a latte and it came out way overblown. This is coming from the perspective of a former shop owner trained by one of the best in the nation on how to do things and even to the point of latte art, even using a crappy machine at home. What I got was amateurish in the way it was done and only a slim margin better than Starbucks. Coffee roast itself was just not that good. read more

Stopped in for a quick cup of Chai Tea before heading to the Aquarium near Manteo. Cool little spot and really laid back. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed it a lot. Will be back! read more

Something I look forward to on vacations is trying out coffee spots each morning. For years I have never found coffee that wowed me . ( which is ok) but TODAY! I knew when I had to wait about 15 mins in a line, outside the building just to get in. This must be worth waiting for....... HOLY COW!!! This place is mind blowingly good. LIFE CHANGING delicious. I got a South swell latte on ice w/ oat milk. So so good. read more

Ashley's Espresso Parlor has the best coffee in town. We tried several cafe's during our visit, by far the best. I ordered the medium size cold brew which was flavorful and was a Brazilian blend. Loved the fact that the coffee had so much flavor without the added cream. The ambiance was eclectic as well. There were lots of cute gifts and a pup section too! read more

Not only does the coffee pack a punch but so does this quaint shop in the cute decor. The staff is proficient and professional when it comes to taking your order and getting your coffee to you quick. They know me so well! This shop is close to the beach so grab that morning cup of joe as walk on the beach during sunrise!!! read more

The decor, the vibe, and the drinks are all on point. Eclectic and cozy coffee house that slings really great drinks and eats. No complaints! We got a dirty chai and a South Swell, both of which were perfect -- not too sweet. Will definitely be back. We also purchased a piece of art from the wall :) read more

OMG BEST Lebanese blond. MUST try it. Then also the dirty bird is amazing! I also tried the GALE Wind bc you HAVE to try it. They are incredibly efficient in making your drinks so don't be discouraged by the line. It was sooooo good. When ever I visit I will be coming here again. read more

Our favorite coffee spot in OBX. Great roastery and great coffee. Awesome service as well!

This place was really cute! My husband got a Harry Potter themed drink (baristas pick), so that was automatic brownie points. They offer hot, iced, and frozen drinks. As well as a variety of bakery items. Our personal favorite was the blueberry crumble cake. While you wait for your coffee, they have a plethora of local artists' handmade items available for purchase. read more

I went here first from my AirBnB host saying it was the best coffee in OBX, as well as the perfect score on Yelp. The coffee didn't disappoint. I'm a no frills, black coffee drinker and the cold brew hit the spot. With COVID you order from one window and pick up from another and everyone was wearing masks-- thanks! read more

My friend Olivia and I were in Kill Devil Kills for a couple of days, and we went here every day we were in town. The coffee is excellent, they have local art and all sorts of interesting things to look at, and the staff is all so friendly and helpful! We really loved a notebook where customers had written things in them, it was an inspiring couple of moments waiting for our coffee. Their bagels and baked goods are outstanding and again, cannot express how sweet and accommodating the people who work there are. We will be dreaming of the iced sweet baby jesus and white chocolate raspberry scones for a long time back in NYS. (Oh and I don't really drink much but they have a real unique local selection of wine beer seltzer and hard kombucha) I seriously can't recommend this place enough! read more

Our favorite coffee shop to go to in obx! The lattes are amazing and I love that they carry local art for sale.

This place is cozy, quaint, and uniquely decorated. I got a salted caramel mocha -- my go-to drink this time of year -- and it was pretty good. They have coffee, t-shirts, pictures, postcards, and various other tchotchkes for sale. Coffee bean burlap sacks were around, though I'm unsure if they had coffee or were there for decoration. Several tables are here, so I guess you could work here if you wanted, but I don't think I'd be on any extended phone calls. The employees weren't as friendly as some other OBX coffee shops I've visited, and it seemed to take longer than I thought was usual to make our drinks...we were the only ones in line at the time. Parking was tough at an off-time, so I can't imagine what it must be during typical coffee rush hours -- let alone the summer. This place is okay, but there's another locally-owned coffee shop that's still my fave. read more

Strange little shop... our cappuccino wasnt great, but we drank it, so...

Great coffee! Super busy place, but they're pretty fast about getting everything out to customers.

Really cool vibe and great coffee. I had an Americana and my wife iced mocha. Super friendly service. Next time I go I'll try something to eat read more

Nice little coffee shop! I tried the iced dirty bird chai and espresso and it was great! Lots of different drink options to chose from. Definitely would visit again! read more

Despite the name, I like this place for their regular coffee. Every day they have a dark roast blend and a light roast single origin, which is what I like. Something different each day. My wife says the espresso drinks are really good too. read more

The coffee was excellent. Everyone loved what they had. Those cold brew shakes are fantastic.
