    I was recently in the OBX for a long weekend and was definitely needing some coffee. We stopped in at the Front Porch rather than Starbucks or Duncan Donuts. 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.

    Americano, the baklava flavoring

    Great coffee and welcoming space. This coffee shop is located in the same plaza as a Food Lion. So, visiting it after grocery shopping for a little treat would probably be a great idea for locals. I really wanted to try the baklava latte, but was concerned it would be overly sweet. The barista suggested doing that flavor combination in an Americano, and that was absolutely perfect for me. I appreciated the personal suggestion, and the friendly service. Also, my drink was extremely strong, which is how I wanted it! They had a full menu of all sorts of custom drinks and I'd be delighted to try another. I also got a croissant, which was flaky and delicious. It was a little bit sweet, which was a surprise, but definitely a wonderful treat. The space is definitely community oriented with lots of open seating, local flyers, and business cards posted on a bulletin, and folks who seem to be local occupying the space. I would definitely stop in here next time I'm in the area. A tourist looking for a nice drink and a break from the beach should definitely stop in.

    if you are looking for good espresso this coffee shop is for you!! All of their espresso is small batch roasted in NC and you can tell. I ordered an iced honey latte and also bought a bag of espresso beans for home. I bought the Kill Devil Quattro Espresso and it tastes just as good at home as it did in the store, they packed It and airtight sealed it for me right in the store! This location is not the cutest but when your coffee is good I will drink it anywhere.

    Front porch cafe is a great coffee shop! I enjoyed my nitro brew and a chocolate filled pastry. It had the perfect amount of filling and sweetness . The best part was the ambiance and decor. Calm atmosphere with fun things to explore. I loved all the art, the flags from around the world, and ocean art. You can purchase the art, bookmarks, and also Bridgerton teas and their coffees. I came back the next day and had the Huehuetenango Guatemalan coffee. It was amazing! Staff was friendly! Parking is ample, I walked there, so it also is easy to walk and bike to. The outdoor seating area is bright and colorful. I can't wait to go back to the cute cafe!

    The strawberry croissant was really good! Multiple coffee options for drip. Nice space with lots of room to sit and read or chat with friends, nice outdoor space as well. They sell a bunch of merch, some from local artisans/vendors. Also tiny stickers for $5.... That needs to be $2 tops.

    If you want a decent cup of coffee, stop here. For being a Wednesday morning, it's pretty crowded. Thankfully the wait isn't long. There's plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. It's a little too hot for me, I'll melt if I sit outside so indoor it is! I'm content with my cup of iced coffee. They are a bit pricey, but for $10 I got iced coffee and a chocolate croissant. Bon appetite!

    Best coffee we got while visiting the outer banks (and we tried a few coffee shops). The baristas were very friendly and happily helped us choose the perfect coffee for our liking. It was quiet inside, a great place to read, work, or catch up with friends.

    Good place to work...and lots of local goodies!

    We first found Front Porch Cafe in Kill Devil Hills a few years ago on one of our semi-annual trips to the OBX. My sister is a coffee fiend, and we both gotta have our cuppa joe in the morning. We found this one (Nags Head) just recently and stopped at this one, since it was closer. The food and drinks are the same at both places, but these two have slightly different ambiences. This one is a little bigger and brighter (not to take anything away from KDH!). This location has -- I think -- more seating, and the building structure makes it a lot more open. There are several tables as well as a bar lining one corner -- complete with numerous electrical outlets for everyone's MacBooks. There's lots of local goodies for sale as well -- my sister got three of their huge coffee bags for $10 and took them home -- they're now on the wall at her house! She also got a bag of Dawn Patrol to take home with her....the day after our vacation she texted to say, "I just had the last of the Dawn Patrol...I swear it tasted like the beach." :) I highly recommend either of the Front Porch locations, including this one in Nags Head, for your coffee fix while on the Outer Banks!

    Yay a cafe at the beach that opens at 6 am! I know it's early, but some of us are at the beach at 6 am and need caffeine. Front Porch Cafe has Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head locations. The Nags Head cafe is located in a large plaza with ample parking. My directions took me to the other side of the plaza at first. After driving around I found the cafe in a row shared with other shops. When you walk in, you first go through their merchandise section and seating then the cafe. They sell a variety of local items. Although it wasn't listed on the menu they said they could make a matcha latte. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and a chocolate croissant. They informed me that they do not add sugar to the matcha and if I wanted to add any. I declined and appreciated that they asked. The latte had a delicious, strong matcha flavor. If you like sweeter drinks, I would recommend adding extra sugar. The matcha latte paired well with the chocolate croissant. Even though they warmed up the chocolate croissant. The chocolate had hardened by the time I ate it and I would have liked more chocolate. Still it was good. Prices are reasonable and orders are accurate. Overall I had a good experience here and recommend this cafe to others!

    My family and I and our 3 dogs really enjoyed this place. We ordered online and the food was ready…read morewithin 20 mins. 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!

    We stopped in here to grab breakfast to enjoy on the beach and it was perfect! We got 2 different…read morebreakfast sandwiches, a muffin, a banana, and 2 different coffees and everything was great! 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!
