Coffee Shop No. 410 Outer Bean…read moreKitty Hawk, NC September 5, 2024 If there is one thing I have learned over the last two in and a half years it's that a genuine smile and a warm greeting goes a really long way. It can transform an ordinary drink into something special. It makes the magic of coffee last throughout the entire day. I was immediately welcomed when I walked into the Outer Bean. Initially, I was bummed because cortados were not on the menu. I asked the barista if she would try to make one. She said sure. I gave her general directions and she walked to the espresso machine. A couple of minutes later she handed me a cup with two shots of espresso and a stainless steel pitcher with steamed milk. The barista said, "Why don't you add the milk in so you get it just the way you want." I thought this was a thoughtful gesture. I thanked her and made my cortado. We chatted a bit. It turned out she is Thai and my husband is Thai; and I love to talk about Thailand. I took a few pictures. We exchanged goodbyes and I exited the cafe with a genuine smile and a very positive impression of the Outer Bean. Smiles are free and they can elevate and/or improve any situation. Plus, folks always look better when they smile. I hope you make this world a better place by sharing your smile with someone today. Thank you to the barista at Outer Bean who shared her smile and made my day brighter. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

It got the job done as I enjoy one cup a day and was a bit behind schedule. The place is small, but perfect for a coffee shop where take out is mostly occurring.

I was so pleased with the selection of drinks available. This was around 10 am and they were busy! We were greeted quickly and friendly. Based on the amount of people in there, I expected to wait a while for my coffee. I literally had my coffee in my hand umin under 5 minutes. Talk about being efficient. The inside was large and open. There was not only a menu but also a board listing and describing the different coffees they had available. There were younger and older people inside and there was a nice seating area. Speaking of seating there was also a small patio to sit at and of course a couple of chairs on the front porch. I was super satisfied with this gem.

First thing I did was preorder my boxes.. yes boxes since we had a houseful of young adults. The parking lot was crazy with big trucks, delivery trucks and early risers trying to get in and out of the lot. Pickup was a breeze, donuts ready in their designated pickup spot. Now the challenge of escaping the lot. That was easy peasy because this was a 2 person effort! Donuts were so cute. Each hand crafted with super cute colors. They tasted so fresh and "sweet". Truly a team effort accomplished.

But thought who cares because it was half the cost of the other places. Here's my entire experience. App: Super easy to use. Ordered at midnight for next day. Received confirmation as soon as submitted. Ordered updated as soon as location opened. Received a notification when order was on way. Delivery: Driver got out of car, it was the owner his name was Patrik with the thickest accent said " am I late" my little kids told him he was not. He let us know if there something we have a problem with. Please call him at shop and give him a chance to make it right. The interaction we had with him was amazing! Literally best customer service ever! Donuts: we ordered a little of everything. Most are cake like donuts. My kids absolutely loved them. The Bavarian cream ones plain taste just like the ones I get in Greece when we went. My over opinion: many people don't like to try places outside the box. My family is different, we always want outside the box. From beginning to end we had a remarkably experience. My kids loved it so much they are drawing pictures of donuts in the kitchen now! We highly recommend!
