Oh the smell of fresh roasted coffee wafting through the front door.... Heavenly…read more Very cool, independent coffee shop in the heart of historic, downtown Manteo. Located in an older building, the cafe has a relaxing, "stay a while" vibe. We were drawn to the large prayer wall filled individual prayers left by patrons. Soothing, compassionate feel. We are not religious and noticed the highly religious theme of this cafe, which is OK with us as it seems the owners/management walk the talk. They donate a percentage of their profits to charities. We ordered a mango-pineapple smoothie and two decaf mochas. Our granddaughter felt the smoothie's pineapple taste overshadowed the mango, but enjoyed it. We liked that the mochas were smooth, had a rich coffee flavor and were not too sweet. The warmed cinnamon roll which we shared was perfectly done. Soft, gooey and full of cinnamon with minimal icing. We purchased a bag of coffee beans, which this company roasts themselves, for our son for Father's Day. When Manteo, we will be back.

Each year we try one of Morning Views beans they readily have available and while we opt for whole beans they will grind yours if you want. For this week's vacation we ordered up Woodys dark blend and Bootys dark blend because we sampled these last year and they were great. The muffins are awesome and our favorite is cranberry orange....never disappoints and we highly recommend. This place is always busy early in the AM but they seem to be well staffed with experienced crews....owner always seems to be there making sure everything runs smoothly.

The workers have a large area to prep food so things happened super efficiently. Despite being constantly busy, they were friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. There is ample seating in the outdoor patio as well as around the store on the "sidewalk". We took advantage of a nook outside of the market area, which was nicely shaded with tables and chairs. There was also a lot of comfy seating inside with a couple of nooks furnished with chairs and couches for families to sit in. Past the cafe is a market area with merchandise and wine. Can't wait to be back!

The sandwiches offer a good variety and I tried one of the specials and it did not disappoint. Coffee came out super fast and food wasn't too far behind for how busy it was. Service was nothing to note, the lady who took our order was efficient but not overly friendly. Plenty of seating to eat in and things to look at while you wait!

There's lots of sitting space indoor and outdoor and would be a great place to go with friends. They also have a bench to wait for coffee and food to-go. I got the iced Paradise latte with oat milk and a breakfast sandwich with egg, goat cheese, bacon, and avocado which was very filling. I've been here multiple times and have enjoyed my drinks, food, and experience every time. The staff are so friendly and the wait time is not too bad. There are lots of vegan options, homemade syrups, and whole food options. I would highly recommend Sea Level to anyone who enjoys organic food and creative coffee.

The parking here is abysmal. Loads of people out the door for something that is just okay. I think the place used to be a vacation home so it makes sense why there isn't any parking.

The prices are high and I found the ice-cream (coconut chocolate chip) to be too sweet - as though it had coconut extract rather than coconut flakes. We also got some of their craft chocolate and it's amazing but was $18 for just 4 pieces - one was a piece of almond bark that was larger than I realized but I still had sticker shock. It's in a great little area of Manteo though.
