Front Porch Cafe-Nags Head

First time visiting. Usually when you walk into a coffee shop, the first thing you notice is the wonderful aroma of fresh coffee, right? That should have been my first clue...that welcoming scent was completely absent. I ordered a large coffee and 2 different lattes for my teenage kids. The coffee is self-serve. I tried small samples of both offerings and was so confused as both tasted nothing like coffee. I likened it to swampy smelling water with the color of a very weak coffee, with zero coffee flavor whatsoever. I chose the lesser of the two evils and sat down at a table while my kids waited almost 30 minutes for their lattes. They said the same about their drinks. Comparing them to our local coffee shop back home, they tasted nothing like coffee. Didnt bother complaining as the 2 girls working seemed overwhelmed and I was certain I wasnt going to receive any satisfactory resolution. This was the first time I'd ever thrown away a near-full cup of coffee. We were extremely disappointed. I'm baffled by the positive reviews of the coffee here. We certainly won't be returning. Plenty of other coffee shops in this area.

HUGE shoutout to Kaylee at this location. Some random guy came in making a huge deal over a coffee cup that costs less than $1 and the wait for it cause he was not standing in line. Girl was just doing her job and he embarrassed her so much but she absolutely handled it like a trooper. Love this place. It is our second year coming here!!

Most always a great experience and always great coffee brewed! Occasionally you get an employee that makes you wonder how they get away with talking to people so disrespectfully just because they were still reading the menu and deciding. Kind of like an angry child with no people skills.

Great coffee though!

*went today, 9/21 and the staff was amazing! Very polite and wonderful attitudes

Iced chocolate Bianco latte is my absolute favorite drink, and I get it every time. (Always great) The cinnamon roll is huge and tastes great! I haven’t had any of the other food there but it looks good. I wish they had crewneck merch but the t shirts offered are super soft!

A must visit! Nag's Head must have given birth to the Front Porch Cafe like some child of Zeus fell out of his head. The coffee is delicious, the service is the best you'll find & the local art featured all around will have you happily buying a souvenir or three. I recommend cold brew with oat milk & lavender syrup - YUM! ☕💕☕💕

Nice, airy and beachy feeling space. Great artwork. Lots of interesting things on the menu that I have never tried before and wish that I had instead, because I felt like a regular Cappuccino and it wasn't well crafted; it seemed a little burnt and hastily made. Not sure if I came at a bad time though; a bunch of the drinks ordered before mine were really complicated frozen things which I know take forever to make.

I had the ham, egg, and cheese croissant and the Heath Bar Latte. Both were excellent.

It was great. Nice seasonal flavors reminds me of a coffee shope in the triad. Coffee was amazing 👏🏻 the scene inside was chill.

Horrible experience. They have a new app that would not let me order any latte. West 3rd went in fine. Called store. Couldn’t help and refused to take phone order. Way to treat locals. Why you got rid of the joe app is beyond me. I never had an issue with that app but this is the second time your new app has not worked. Very disappointed.

The ladies were very helpful and pleasant. Baked goods were great and the coffee was perfect! We will definately be back!
