    This is such a great coffee shop. Bought a mystery book and came back multiple days in a row for the cold brew with the toasted marshmallow. This will be my go to spot every year when we visit OBX.

    Fantastic coffee shop with some pastries and great coffee. The service was great and the Snickers Latte is the best!!!

    I liked the overall vibe of this place and the bead shop was cool, but I ordered a really simple drink and there was so much built-up espresso grounds at the bottom of the cup. I'd already been to another coffee shop that morning and experienced the same problem, which is quite frustrating. I work at a coffee shop myself, and I am aware of how easy it is to get grounds in a drink but also of how to prevent it and deal with it when it happens. I really empathize with baristas and I know how easy this mistake is to make, but if you look at the picture, it's quite a lot.

    Stopped here to grab some coffee. I got the sandspur and I enjoyed it. My friend got the cold brew and it wasn't too good.

    This is a solid choice for coffee and sweets, though neither was anything to rave about. I had their regular drip coffee and a muffin, which was extremely sweet (yes, I know muffins are supposed to be sweet but this one was extra sugary). The place is worth a visit but probably not a return trip.

    My friend got Skate Rat, which is made with chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut; honestly loved his more but I'll get it next time.

    We were told an hour wait for food when we went in - lots of carry out. However the wait wasn't…read morenearly that long. Bar type atmosphere - Pizza was really good, sauce was the right mix of sweet and tangy. We had an appetizer of onion rings - very good. Worth the wait IMO!

    If you are looking for a classic standard pizza, Angelo's has you covered but the rest of the menu…read morelooks to be a bust. The wings themselves were both meaty and juicy, but the sauces ended up lacking. The buffalo sauce tasted like just bottled buffalo sauce and the garlic Parmesan tasted similar, mostly being a one note flavor mess. The eggplant Parmesan was a generic eggplant Parmesan that is only made tasty by the amount of mozzarella on the eggplant. The sauce was watery and had no flavor. The eggplant breading just fell off and was mushy. Tasted like a frozen eggplant parm. Garlic knots had a hard shell surrounding a doughy center. Every bite you can taste the garlic. The knots could use a bit more salt to enhance some of the garlic flavor but these were still good. The pizza is a bit of a mixed bag. While the crust and sauce are a bit generic and underwhelming the toppings and cheese make up for it to make a serviceable pie. Crust was your standard American chain pie with a thick enough crust but lacks any stability or flavor. Sauce is so generic it makes no impact on the pizza. The toppings are plentiful as well as the cheese and they are all of good quality. We had olives, onion, pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms and it wasn't too much or too little. The only negative is with all the toppings and cheese, the pizza did get greasy. Overall an above average pizza for a very average looking one. They had no water cups so everyone had to get a soda. They also have a sign saying no bringing water bottles in so there isn't anyway to get water unless you want to purchase a bottle of water. While this pizza isn't top of the line, it will still satisfy your pizza needs.
