The Kind Cup

This coffee shop is a place you don't want to miss on your vacation! My husband and I love visiting local coffee shops in each town we visit and this is by far one of our new favorites! The coffee is smooth and freshly roasted! Their service is outstanding and we had the honor of chatting with the owner about roasting and her recommended beans. We will definitely be making this a regular stop and you should do the same!

My parents moved to the OBX this year and we have been trying as many local spots as possible, and The Kind Cup is a real gem. If you’re reading this review and searching for “the right spot” to go - get up & go. Get yourself a latte. It’s delicious. It’s amazing. The shop is adorable. The Kind Cup is so worth it.

Highly recommend butter cake and honey dew latte! Not too sweet and very refreshing and everything came out fast. Convenient area and cute shop, however the staff definitely could’ve been friendlier (the owner was not working however)

Wish we’d found this shop sooner. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is great. The coffee is excellent and they even offered a kids hot chocolate (to come out cooler than the regular)

Great coffee and very nice art for sale.

This place has excellent coffee! We went back multiple times and purchased several bags of their beans. The owner was able to describe all of the different type of beans. We will be back again.

The best coffee in OBX! Our family highly recommends The Kind Cup to all visitors. They have a roaster onsite and are always importing all kinds of great coffee beans. The staff and owner are all super amazing!

Really good espresso (+espresso drinks & coffee) in a unique co-op selling local art

What an AMAZING hidden gem! The espresso was so amazing and bold, the drink options were so good and not too sweet, and the ladies working were so friendly and funny! So happy to see a place like this in the OBX! Can’t wait to be back!

What a cute place! Americano, vanilla and chai lattes were delicious. Really neat shop with local artisan goods, too. Make sure you grab some roasted beans and art to take home.
