    Local art
    Kelly W.

    THE SPOT offered just what I was looking for--a healthy delicious smoothie (I got THE SHIPWRECK ) but I was not prepared for how friggin' cute this space IS! Cool local art hangs on the wall, delish offerings EVERYWHERE, cool local stickers and other hot merch abounds PLUS the ceiling transformed this ordinary smoothie stop into a magical ‍ and religious experience oh and most importantly, I was greeted at the door by Jasper who was a professional delight! Thank you, I'll be back. 13/10 highly recommend!

    Açaí bowls are great! I got the Avalon and it was definitely the "Perfect Bowl Blend." The small was the perfect size for a dessert and included granola, banana, strawberries, blueberries, honey, and coconut. They even offer a unsweet açaí or pitaya base. Coffee crunch shake was ok. It was more chocolate than coffee. Root beer float: 3 scoops of ice cream and a can of Mug. My son loved it! The employees were patient and friendly. The sitting areas were clean and spacious. There is plenty of parking, too!

    Our first breakfast in OBX was at "The Spot" the açaí bowls are amazingly good. My daughter got a waffle for breakfast and loved it. There are three sizes. My wife got the small I got the regular and there is a bigger size too. The toppings on both of ours looked the same, but mine had more açaí base. We all had a great breakfast in a clean and bright restaurant. We were first to be served at 9am on Sunday. The place quickly filled up with people. It is a hot spot, that could take 20 minutes for your order (per the restaurant) during busy times. After my wife, daughter and I all finished, we ordered another bowl to go to bring back to our son who chose sleep over being first in line .... Note - they also have free wifi - I didn't see the password posted anywhere, but I asked the person taking orders and she gave it to me. Great place to get good food at the beach!

    Great bowls of açaí. I would come back The place was packed too. The young lady working the register redefined happy. Holy cow. Everyone was in a better mood just talking to this person. Wow. What do they put in the water there. Ha.

    This place is beautiful inside, but I have to say that the attitude of the girl who was working there totally ruined the experience. We walked in smiling and saying hello, she was slumped over the register and barely mumbled a hello. We had my little dog with us and were holding him so we could order some food to eat outside. She made a comment that we could only have him if we went outside. We were aware of that, we know that pets aren't allowed in restaurants, but it was also in the low 80s outside so I had to bring him in while I ordered (mind you, all of the other 10+ restaurants we ate at on our trip to the OBX welcomed us inside with our dog since he's small and we held him). Anyway, I ordered an acai bowl and a waffle and the cashier just stared at me as I completed the transaction. Feeling somewhat threatened, I made sure to add a tip. Literally the second I added the tip, she perked up and smiled at me. LMAO. I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had to pay extra for decent service. MY bad. We promptly went outside to eat on the little deck. The acai bowl and waffle were both delicious and I would love to return with someone different working the counter.

    This place is a real highlight of any trip to OBX, and shouldn't be missed. - Haven't tried anything but the açaí bowls - I mean, why would you, lol? They are fantastic. Lots of choices for your five free add-ons mean your bowl can be delicious in tons of different ways. - Fun interior, fun merch, and fun, happy employees ensure a great experience. - Can get crazy busy - I like going late-morning or around lunchtime, when wait times are minimal.

    The Loggerhead with Pitiya & two Avalon bowls
    Lindsay C.

    This was probably the BEST pitaya bowl I have ever had. Customization was easy to fit everyone's tastes. Service was quick & friendly. We didn't stay to eat at The Spot because we took our bowls to the beach but we went right when it opened & parking was easy & there was space inside if we wanted to stay.

    Avalon bowl with Nutella
    Taylor L.

    I ordered the Avalon bowl with Nutella instead of honey. It was delicious. A great place to grab açaí bowls on the island. The ambiance was ok. A good place to grab some food after the beach or pool but nothing too fancy. Everyone working there was nice and our bowls came out fast. I would go back here!

    Açaí bowl with banana, honey, almonds, and granola

    My açaí bowl was amazing! Friendly staff and fast service too. I will definitely be coming back to try other stuff!

    Jessica T.

    My family and I decided to stop by after the beach and boy did this hit the spot on a hot day! The staff was friendly and for about 4 açaí bowls, 2 smoothies, and an ice cream cup; they didn't take too long to make. Açaí bowls were $7-$12 depending on size but the regular/small was enough for me.

    Coffee Shop No. 410 Outer Bean…read moreKitty Hawk, NC September 5, 2024 If there is one thing I have learned over the last two in and a half years it's that a genuine smile and a warm greeting goes a really long way. It can transform an ordinary drink into something special. It makes the magic of coffee last throughout the entire day. I was immediately welcomed when I walked into the Outer Bean. Initially, I was bummed because cortados were not on the menu. I asked the barista if she would try to make one. She said sure. I gave her general directions and she walked to the espresso machine. A couple of minutes later she handed me a cup with two shots of espresso and a stainless steel pitcher with steamed milk. The barista said, "Why don't you add the milk in so you get it just the way you want." I thought this was a thoughtful gesture. I thanked her and made my cortado. We chatted a bit. It turned out she is Thai and my husband is Thai; and I love to talk about Thailand. I took a few pictures. We exchanged goodbyes and I exited the cafe with a genuine smile and a very positive impression of the Outer Bean. Smiles are free and they can elevate and/or improve any situation. Plus, folks always look better when they smile. I hope you make this world a better place by sharing your smile with someone today. Thank you to the barista at Outer Bean who shared her smile and made my day brighter. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

    I grabbed a coffee at Outer Bean after fishing in Kill Devil Hills…read more To be fully transparent, I did not order food or specialty coffee. The coffee was fine, but nothing spectacular. It got the job done as I enjoy one cup a day and was a bit behind schedule. The place is small, but perfect for a coffee shop where take out is mostly occurring.

    Updating my review to further express how great their açaí bowls are. This time I ordered online…read morefor pick up. The online ordering system isn't great (see below), however, I eventually found what I was looking for and called to adjust the pick up time. Since the large wasn't available, I chose regular for one bowl and mega for the other. I also paid for extra granola for both. Although the toppings look skimpy, we were pleasantly surprised to find the extra granola at the bottom of the regular bowl. Then the mega bowl was basically a double decker acai bowl. Acai on the bottom with selected toppings then more acai resting under another layer of the selected toppings. It's definitely worth it to get the mega bowl. They also make good smoothies and use compostable materials. Our orders have been accurate and filling. Plus the employees are friendly. Issues with the online ordering: -I couldn't adjust the pick-up time. Even though they were open for another 5 hours, the only option for pick up was next day at 9:30 am. I called after placing the order and they said they could make the order right away. -large perfect bowl is not an option (all other sizes were available) -special bowl options are confusing. No option for granola but there is an option for extra granola. No description for what it contains yet you can remove items. -many of the items do not have descriptions, luckily I had been here before so I knew what the perfect bowl entailed

    The service was great!! Cute ambiance. Great option for Acai bowls. Wish they have more options…read moregor coffee beside cold brew and regular hot pot coffee. Was wishing for espresso or .... something a little more . Overall, Great will be back.
