    Raspberry Cheesecake Iced Latte
    Virginia T.

    We first visited back in 2020 and finally made it back five years later! This ended up being my favorite coffee spot of the trip. The raspberry cheesecake iced latte was absolutely fantastic. The staff was so kind and welcoming, and it's a great place to relax whether you're sitting inside or out. Don't miss the charming gift shop it's perfect for a little post-coffee stroll. Can't wait to come back next year!

    West Third

    I had a very respectable spinach feta pastry and so so ham and cheddar pastry that needed more ham. Had the West Third beverage via barista suggestion and probably would've preferred white west third if I noticed it as an option. But I mean, I had to order some drink because I did not want to get towed, right? Lol Staff is friendly and quick w food. This is typically a come and take out place but this place has a setup for staying in. Typical appropriately sized wooden chair seating in the main dining area and a few couches way in the back. There is some kind of "bar" area that may be used for something later on in the day or special events? With the inside setting, it is too bad they don't have some real meal type food offerings. As true to its name, there is a hang out area to dine outside as well. Why 5 stars instead of 4? I am able to work remotely the entire day with wifi access. Outlets abundant on a wall. Not as quiet as Charis because of the music, but still reasonably so. Also, the place is a local favorite with a homely vibe very suitable for Manteo.

    Croissant with Ham, Egg, Cheese
    MeeMaw V.

    We got this to go and it was wonderful. Firstly they packaged all the food in a really sturdy card board box which was nice. My family members who went in to get it found the inside to be very welcoming and clean. The employee was very kind. We got to eat an Asiago Bagel with Cream Cheese, Cinnamon Roll, Strawberry Cream Cheese Croissant, and Pro Surfer Zen Cup. To drink we got Coffee, Earl Grey with Lavender/Honey, and Cherry Italian Soda. The cinnamon roll and strawberry croissant were my two favorites. Both were very flavorful and fresh. The last food item was the Egg, Ham, and Cheese Croissant. It was not enjoyable because it was cold. All the beverages were good. I especially enjoyed my tea, they put the right amount of lavender to where you can taste it but it is not overwhelming. Overall, very pleased with our experience and we would recommend!

    Lots of things to choose from

    The Front Porch Cafe is my new favorite coffee shop on the OBX! They have freshly baked pastries made in house each morning. The coffee is delicious and they have a unique menu. Love this place!!

    We came in today on our way back home from camping all week and wanting coffee from local place! Was not disappointed! Coffee was really good and we even got some coffee ground to take home. They have few locations in area and have a couple of options for picking up online or curbside as well. The staff was very nice. The only hiccup was our order got meshed in with someone else's so it took a minute to get it cleared up but they were great about it and so was the customers. Lots of inside space for seating.. you could come and sit and work on laptop with wifi access plus they had a printer ! They offer a good bit of baked items that looked very good too...next time we'd definitely go back!

    This was another refresher stop for us while out exploring. After a day of running around we needed…read moreto get a drink before we got a bit hangry. We weren't looking for food, but we definitely needed hydration. Using the app we opted for the drive thru. Placing the order on our way here, was a smart move, we just entered the drive thru line first. Pulled up to the kiosk, told them our order number, and just waited. The wait here was not long. It was quite the easy wait. Pulled around, our drinks were ready as we pulled up. Drinks handed to us, order was correct, and we were on our way. One of the quickest stops at a McDonald's I have ever had. The biggest gripe here was access. Sitting right off the main the drag through the area, it can take some time to get in and out of here. Especially during the season. There is a constant flow of traffic and sometimes it might be easy to just turn right and fight your way back down.

    Not sure why this McDonald's has such poor ratings. Although I found only two employees working in…read morethis store, I found the store to be very clean, the orders prepared and delivered quickly, and the two employees to have a very positive and customer oriented attitude. Not sure I would be some joyful considering this is a very busy location. They made it work, and with much hustle, customers seemed very pleased. Food was prepared to order, the accuracy of the order was spot on the several times I was there. Nice to see hard working people make a difference and upholding the company brand!
