Duck's Cottage

Great coffee and perfectly curated books. Don't let the limited selection fool you! It feels like each and every book has been carefully selected to please everyone from the history buff, home chef, novel lover, teenager and younger. If you're in the Outer Banks, just go!

Definitely a go to when in the area. Great coffee and baked goods. There may be a line but definitely worth the wait.

Really wanted to try one of their speciality lattes, and the drive to Duck was worth it! I had the iced mucky duck with almond milk and a raspberry biscotti which were both delicious. They are also still requiring masks/limiting capacity inside which I really appreciate. Their concern for the safety of customers and their staff is admirable.

Great coffee in a quaint storefront. COVID-19 safety measures were refreshingly vigilant - probably the best I encountered during my entire stay this year at the OBX. Just by looking at their equipment (grinders, espresso machine, etc.) you can tell they mean business. They make a mean double shot, and the beans I took home with me are delightful. 5/5, would recommend.

Cozy shack sitting amongst the duck shopping centers. Picturesque to grab a book coffee and hang out near the water. Exactly the vibes they give you, the staff is extra friendly and helpful. They are practicing safe social distance and half capacity when ordering. No worries plenty of time to browse before your coffee comes out. The COFFEE ☕, the aroma makes you drool the coffe upon first sip is satisfying. I ordered a specialty Iced as its hot out " the nutty duck" very delicious and not overly sweet. Will come back and recommend 👌

Good specialty coffees, the Mucky Duck is my favorite. They sell whole beans to go as well and have a small selection of great books in association with Downtown books, another location in Manteo. Very nice owners. Located in the waterfront shops and easy to get to while walking on the board walk in Duck.

Duck's Cottage is our must-stop destination every time we stay in the area! Their coffee/teas and baked goods are always a treat. The staff is very friendly and helpful, a bright spot when we pop in. Oh, and they have BOOKS! They keep a good selection of new/recent releases in stock, have a good collection of books by local authors, and genres to appeal to the whole family. Stop in!

Lovey little coffee shop. Very similar mixtures to Starbucks or Dunkin but the flavor was much better. Mainly coffee and tea mixtures without any real snack add ons. The bonus is the art shop built in with a superb amount of souvenirs and art decor.

We visited off season to Corolla and had the hardest time finding a coffee shop or bakery to pick up breakfast. On our second to last day we stumbled upon Duck’s Cottage and loved their biscotti and coffee! An added bonus is they are open year round!

Best coffee shop in Duck, North Carolina!!! The Coconut Crunch is so tasty - buying online now for friends. Awesome selection of books too for summer reads and pastries!!!!
