Duck's Cottage

Great coffee/book shop. If your a coffee lover this place is a must. I ordered a Dirty Chai and went back for the famous Mucky Duck!

Great coffee what a lovely service young girls are so polite and professional they even serve you with Number of different milk option

I stopped at this charming little coffee shop every morning while staying in OBX. Delicious biscotti & muffins to go with. Nice selection of books too.

The only thing wrong with Duck’s Cottage is that I can’t take it with me when I head home! We stop here daily on our weeks spent in the area and always leave happier than when we arrived. The coffee is fabulous and the book selection is stellar. My favorite time to visit is early morning in the off season, which is a great time to enjoy the porch or the chairs near the pond in Purple Martin season! They’ll ship their coffee, too, so you can enjoy a taste of the beach at home. Thanks, y’all, we can’t wait for the next visit - have a great winter!

Stopped by to buy coffee and also was in terrible need of rest room. Followed sign they have posted to use public restrooms, a good distance away. They were locked. Went back to get coffee, looked around, saw no employees and more importantly, no rest rooms. I thought restaurants were required to have rest rooms. Left very perturbed.

Overall enjoyable. The only "negative" I can say is, the coffee was very good, but not exceptional. We left satisfied, but not blown away.

All the goods:
*both me and my wife's orders were accurate and tasted good.
*Friendly baristas
*Books to brows or buy while you wait (or after if you prefer).
*nice atmosphere, if we had more time we would have enjoyed staying for a while.
*prices were reasonable.

Amazing coffee and book shop. Nice outside seating. Amazing book selection. Fantastic coffee. Some cool apparel for sale. Wish this was in my neighborhood at home.

Disappointing! Seating for 4 inside. Very crowded. The place was tiny. The line was where the books were so you couldn’t peruse the books easily. The coffee was self serve except speciality drinks. We came back to buy ornaments and a book and you had to wait in this long coffee line, so we put our items back!😭🥲

Great coffee spot while enjoying the Duck boardwalk. They were even open during the off season! The kids enjoyed their hot chocolate and we loved the cool environment. Not a lot of space inside but they do have a couple tables and seats on the deck.

Front door sign is a little confusing. " ENTER TO THE LEFT" thought it was just us, but while sitting outside many people looked for another door to enter on the left. Set up is interesting. Coffee was good. Cute names for their drinks. Prices were okay too.
