Great place to start your day and have a good meeting over coffee would go there again

I love the seating, beachy vibe? and the fact that they had simple syrup and oatmilk available to use after you got your drink. But the latte I got just wasn't for me. The others I was with did like theirs though. Staff was good. Might just need to try a different item read more

Front Porch Cafe - Nags Head - Iced latte with oatmilk and English toffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Front Porch is my absolute favorite coffee place in OBX. It doesn't matter which location I go to. I have experienced nothing but AMAZING service at each location. The staff at each one is always warm and inviting and goes out of their way. to help and say hi. My go to drink is ALWAYS a Large Iced West 3rd (if you haven't tried it you should!) We usually stay in Corolla where there is not a location and I ALWAYS make it appoint to drive out to where they are. I love this place so much that at Christmas time I always order a couple bags of their Holiday blend to have back here at home in Maryland since I unfortunately do not live there. I HIGHLY recommend you try any one of their locations at least once while you are there, I guarantee you will be hooked!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Outstanding coffees and wonderful service Young lady that helped me was very knowledgeable about coffee beans and helped direct me to two very good tasting blends read more

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. read more

This is easily my favorite local coffee chain in the OBX. I haven't had a coffee or pastry I didn't like and I love their large selection of blends and flavors. All of the workers are kind and patient despite the long lines and are always willing to help you out. I love the inside decor, it really feels like a local mom and pop cafe and the board with local business ads on it always have something fun. I also love their sticker and merch collection they have for sale. This restaurant is stuck in my weekly rotation and is a great way to support OBX small businesses. read more

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! read more

Front porch cafe is good! I got the drink basic beach and it was great! The only thing I'd recommend is that the staff have a bit more urgency when there's a rush. The waiting area got pretty packed and the wait was a little longer than expected. Multiple people who ordered after me got their drinks before me. However, they may have a system I don't know about or could have been a fluke! I would definitely recommend going here. The inside is cute & quiet :) read more

This is awesome the lemon strawberry drink was really sweet .they got the fair life chocolate milk and that's all that matters , and they didn't lace me. read more

Really good coffee, love the local art and openness of this place.. friendly staff at the counter too hustling away.

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. read more

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! read more

If you go to OBX and do not stop at Front Porch for coffee you are definitely missing out. Highly recommend you get you coffee here, its worth the wait. Coffee beans for purchase as well, if you like to make your own coffee at home. They have a large selection. read more

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! read more

So many drinks to choose from! I tried the Basic Beach and it did not disappoint. Also had a blueberry muffin that they warmed for me- so good! Cashier was super friendly. I always feel anxious when visiting a new restaurant- especially when it's crowded but she was so kind and I felt welcome. Plenty of room to wait for your drink to be made if there's a line. read more

waited 25 minutes for a SINGLE latte, absolutely insane wait time for one drink! No staff said they were behind/short staffed etc. Just were chatting behind the counter while slowly producing drinks. Coffee is good and sweet but not anywhere near worth a 25 minute wait. read more

Went to the new one in kitty hawk-went thru drive thru -quick service-but--the cost of a small frozen coffee and a muffin wasn't worth $11- then they make u sign a paper to add a tip like u handed me two things that cost way too much thru a window!! Tasty -price not so much read more

I love this coffee shop! They are transitioning from the joes apps to their own now -- and you really should order ahead. The only downside to ordering ahead is that you may miss a special but if you're going during peak morning hours it'll be worth it to skip the line. I love the west third but they have delicious flavors and can make you want you want. Also fresh pastries --both savory and sweet -- round out the breakfast. Seating available inside and out. read more

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! read more

Huuuuuuge line on a Wednesday morning for good reason. Very accommodating menu for diary free folks who like a cold foam! I tried an iced americano half caf with toasted marshmallow and almond milk cold foam!

What a cute coffee shop! We stopped here as we were shopping around and it was a pretty awesome experience. They have all kinds of oatmeal and pastries to choose from. My niece had a cinnamon bun and when I asked if she liked it, she gave me the wide-eyed heck yes look. Hahaha! They also grind coffee beans for you if you're looking to brew at home. I ordered my usual iced caramel macchiato and it turned out delicious! Starbucks who? If I lived here I would ditch my starbucks joint and be loyal to Front Porch Café. My sister got a vanilla latte which is also a favorite of mine and so I tasted that. Delicious. Brother in law got the frozen coffee stuff (I forgot the name...it's such a cool name too! My apologies). I tasted his too and it was delicious as well. If I wanted to switch it up, I'd get that. While sipping my tasty iced coffee, my sister wanted to show me around. There are pictures on the wall that you're able to buy. The pictures are beautiful! They also have coffee cups, stickers, magnets..you name it! With all that is for sale, the space didn't seem cluttered at all. I'm coming back to Nags Head next year and I will definitely visit this location again more than once! read more

They do their own roasting on premise and that's pretty cool. I stopped in this morning for coffee and speedy wifi, having a great cup of coffee on a cold day. I stuck around for an hour or so, also enjoying a delicious breakfast sandwich. The place is clean and spacious with plenty of different seating options including sofas, smaller tables, larger community tables and a bunch of stools at a counter that is up against the front window of the shop. Those last ones are the best seats with plenty of power outlets available. Coffee is refillable. read more

Stopped in for a late afternoon caffeine fix and was pleasantly surprised that this spot was so quiet -- normally there is a long line. I was immediately drawn into all of the artwork, various displays and creative happenings along the walls and countertops. I loved all there was to see and potentially purchase ! Mugs, magnets, dog treats-- all with a nod to local culture. I ordered a coconut cold brew, one of their summer specials. The friendly and helpful employee behind the counter talked me through how to order my drink to ensure that it wasn't too sweet, which often happens! I ordered my cold brew with half the amount of syrup and it turned out perfect! Looks like they also had some baked goods for sale and obviously a huge selection of hot and cold espresso beverages on their menu! read more

This is specific to this location in Nags Head. Ok overall for the pastries, though kinda not cheap. The latte was way overblown and just marginally ok. Still better than Starburnt's coffee, but not by a whole lot. Cheaper, that's for sure, so for that, I'd go here over the star any time. read more

Coffee drinks were awesome & worth the long wait in line. Bakery items were so-so but we were there for the coffee.

Awesome people and service! The coffee and pastries were amazing. I highly recommend this over any chain.

Great selection at all locations! Great start to the day. Great coffee cups. We will be back. read more

Love this place. They have plenty of signage saying masks are required, they have one way lines set up and plexiglass at the register. And of course they have great beverage and breakfast options. Croissants are flaky and fresh, yogurt and granola is freshly made (they add yogurt when you order) and my London Fog was up quick and perfectly done. Overall, we will be back!!! read more

Love this coffee shop in obx! The Heath bar coffee drink (I've tried it hot & cold) is AMAZING! The food is delicious as well, we tried both the croissant and spinach/feta pastry warmed...so good!

Bakery and coffee all in one place - great! But it wasn't a lot of baked goods on the day I went. Maybe because it was at the end of the day. Well I went for a latte anyways so, I found myself ordering a salted Carmel latte. My latte was pretty good! Full of rich salted Carmel flavor and a nice smooth espresso. Personally, I could had an extra shot of espresso to make it perfect. There were other offerings at this cute little shop like wine, juices, oatmeal, jams etc. There's also plenty of seatings to hang out with friends and chill on the opposite side of the shop. read more
