Great personality and decor. I had an iced Americano, pretty average. They have a good selection of non-dairy milks (almond, coconut, soy). I was hunting for a place to get some work done but there really isn't anywhere to sit and study/read/work on a computer. The outdoor seating looked nice, but it was way too hot outside for me on the day I was there. read more

Both the coffee shop and the beer garden are unique and quality experiences that will not disappoint. I'm especially fond of the beer garden which has a large selection of great beers on tap and a fun atmosphere. Everyone here is nice and laid back, and there is sometimes live music at night. read more

Great coffee, very friendly service, with a homey, casual interior. There's so much to look at in here because of the support for local artists, and the drink selection is great! I had a delicious iced coffee courtesy of a Yelp check-in offer, and a chocolate muffin that was decadent beyond belief. read more

I loved this place, the couple that owns it is so nice, and also the best iced caramel macchiato I have ever had. The beer garden is fantastic as well, wonderful drinking atmosphere, centered around a gorgeous huge oak tree with beautiful eclectic furniture from bali. They really set the standards for us that the rest of the outerbanks had trouble living up to. read more

Highly recommended. While staying in Corolla my girlfriend and I dropped in both for coffee and subsequently a night out with friends at the bar. Cute shack on the inside which serves up some great iced coffee. The bar is also great, with a very relaxed atmosphere and great selection of beers. We were graced with some excellent live music while we were there as well. Staff is very friendly. Looking forward to my return trip. read more

This place was awesome!! The coffee was fantastic and Kelly was radical :) if you're in town, this is the only place to get coffee and although I didn't go to the beer garden, I'm sure it's just as wonderful! read more

Kick back and have a brew after taking a wild pony excursion.

Loved Kelly and every coffee drink I tried was delicious! The Cocoa-nut was my favorite. A must visit!

This was a nice find. Staff and owners were very friendly. Atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. Conveniently located, hidden gem.

This place was amazing. Just went here this morning after seeing the reviews on here. Ordered a medium caramel machiatto, 2 bagels, and a muffin for under $12. They accidentally used a larger cup but gave it to me for the medium price anyway. Had the chance to talk to Kelly for a little while and both her and her staff were extremely friendly. Definitely worth the visit for the good coffee and the bagels/pastries from Lighthouse! read more

I'm almost afraid to review this little gem because it's so secluded and awesome. Head over here for some outdoor wine and beer.

Loved the atmosphere of this place! Very hipster! The staff was very fast and the drinks (coffee) was very delicious. The garden space has an amazing vibe to it as well! It's my families new coffee spot when we come to OBX :) read more

The Shack Coffee Shop and Beer Garden are my idea of a perfect beach day. Start off by getting a coffee served by the wonderful Kelly upstairs. You can even play a classic board game while you enjoy your hot drink. Now that you're awake, have some beach fun, but come back as the sun starts to settle because the Beer Garden is just as great. An impressive selection of craft beers and the cool service from Matt will greet you. The decor includes an ambulance door/beer cooler and a beautiful wood bar. This place and its two wonderful owners are what I think of as the day of my vacation approaches. You owe it to yourself to stop by for two Brews and a perfect day. read more

I was lucky enough to spend last week in Corolla for a wedding and visit the Beer Garden for one of the wedding events. The weather was great so we enjoyed sitting outside underneath a beautifully lit tree and drink some local brew. The staff was super friendly and laid back. We were even able to bring in our own food for dinner. It was absolutely the perfect place to mingle with friends. read more

This little coffee house is great. Lots of drinks and bakery treats to choose from. Most of all, the owner, Kelly, was awesome. She's super friendly and has great advice for things to do or see around town. One day I had trouble deciding on a drink, and she made me something that wasn't even on the menu! I am looking forward to stopping back here on my next trip to the outer banks! read more

Tons of coffee options with reasonable prices. Adorable venue. Lots of seating in a small area. Definitely would recommend!

This place has a cool atmosphere, and a great place to hang out. My wife and I stumbled across after visiting the lighthouse. The owners were super nice as well. I highly recommend if you are in the OBX! read more

Great local hangout spot. Tucked away from throngs of tourists, this bar is a breath of fresh air for people who love beer and conversation. Unique setting, good music, and very chill vibe. read more

Little gem of a coffee shop, husband/wife owned. Visited every morning during our week long stay in Corolla. Great coffee and warm and inviting eclectic vibe. Not to mention good coffee for the coffee snob (like me) :) The owner remembers you and is very friendly! Haven't been able to visit the beer garden part as we have young kids, but they play live music once a week during the summer months. Hope to check it out one of these years once our kids are older. read more

Great beer selection, great atmosphere, great vibes as an outdoor beer garden. Perfect for a summer nite along with a game of cornhole.

Great little place. Excellent coffee. Unique decor. Friendly. We enjoyed a variety of drinks and all were first class. Highly recommended.

Friendliest couple owns this unique find. Great service, delicious coffee and great beer selection. A hidden treasure.

Such a cool little bar tucked in on the top end of OBX. Beer selection is great, bartenders are friendly and everyone seems happy in there. Highly recommended for anyone that is looking for a relaxed, low key bar with cool tables to sit with large groups. read more

Real coffee; lattes made with care; enjoyable people - all in a great setting with a unique outdoor seating area. Seriously, all the way up in Corolla near the lighthouse. Take a break from the fast-food variety of espresso and enjoy yourself here. read more

This place is really as good as it gets in Corolla. The coffee is delicious and the staff is friendly and helpful. They love to chat with you, and give great advice on places to visit while in town. The owners Kelly and Matt definitely put their hearts and creativity into this place. It has a great feel including handmade local jewelry, a pretty good selection of breakfast items and a lot of love put into it. With a great vibe, this place has infinite potential (the bar downstairs has ambulance doors!). Love to see a place in Corolla where you can relax outside with a beer listening to live music. This place is a must to visit on your vacation, you won't be disappointed. I never have been! read more

This place is the best thing to happen to the Outer Banks in years. Where else can you start your day off with a great cup of coffee, and then end your night with some one of the best selections of brews? This place is worth a trip; day or night. The beer garden is one of life's hidden treasures. read more

Best beer spot I never knew about until this summer. Great selection of bottle beers and the staff was really helpful. Whenever I stay in Corolla I will make it a point to go by and have a beer or two...or three. Next time I will have to try the coffee. read more

Went to the beer garden. Great selection! Cool atmosphere and wood carved chairs. Great place to chill out!

The BEST! A beer bar outdoors under the sky at night, a guitarist singing fun songs, and twinkling lights in the trees... it doesn't get any better! If you are hungry just walk over to Corolla pizza for a great veggie sub (I'm vegan). read more

We love this place and look forward to our morning walks on the beach followed by a stop here for coffee/latte. Excellent coffee, customer service, and environment. read more

Just a beach cruiser rides away, we love going to the shack to help get us started on our day. Mahalo from your friends at Island Revolution. read more

My wife was just there this morning for the first time. Sadly she realized that they did not take credit cars until to she had already ordered. The staff was very understanding and let her have her coffee on a promise. What upstanding people, much nicer than Pennsylvania where we are from. **remember cash!!!!! We will stop in again and pay our tab!! read more

Loved it here! We walked here few times from our beach house we rented! Cool little sitting area to have some good local beers! Great bartenders too! Definitely will be back! read more

So glad we discovered this place...and a little reluctant to tell others about it for fear of ruining it. But Matt (owner) is awesome and deserves to do well. Great place to sit and drink a beer...order a pizza and have it delivered. read more

Corolla Village is charming no matter what but add the coffee shop and beer garden and there's no better place!

Had a great selection of local beers. Great atmosphere and the staff provided bug spray which was needed in the back end of the garden. The bathrooms had running water and flushable toilets but reminded me of an outhouse at a campground. The live music was good. read more

My favorite stop while visiting OBX. Great local and laid back vibe. Great beer selection. Great live music. Make this your local hangout!

This is a great local coffee shop. Rarely do you find a coffee shop that offers such a variety of choices as far as milk (regular, soy, almond, coconut). The coffee is good, and the atmosphere is very comfortable. We had mochas, lattes, and iced lattes and all were good. Every time we were in, the people working were helpful and friendly. Would go every day if we were staying closer! read more

The owners of the Beer Garden are just great. The whole place had a wonderful vibe and quality beer selection. I organized a family get together before our wedding at the Beer Garden and it was such a fun and easy experience. Kelly was so helpful and accommodating. We organized everything by email and she even ordered our favorite beers for the night. Since it was the off season, we didnt book the Beer Garden just for us, so meeting the locals was also fun. We ate, drank and were definitely merry which is exactly what we wanted. I am so thankful to the staff at the Beer Garden for a great event. read more

So glad we found this coffee shop while on vacation. Great coffee drinks and atmosphere - cool vibe, especially with the furniture and large patio. See you next year! read more
