Front Porch Cafe-Nags Head

Stopped in here while on vacation and ordered a caramel macchiato! It was literally THE best coffee I’ve ever had in my lifeeee. 😭 The shop was cute and the workers (woman and man) who helped me the day I came in were absolutely great/sweet people.

I discovered this place a few years ago and when I come to the Banks it is my morning haunt. The coffees are splendid, the taps are kept at a reasonable temperature (I have experienced other places where they are kept blazing hot and the coffee tasted burned), a great variety of baked goods (cranberry orange muffins 👍👍) and excellent staff with good suggestions and help! Definitely the local coffee place I like! Thanks all who make my mornings while here so pleasant!

Pastries are great. Baristas aren't knowledgeable in standard espresso drinks, I asked for a flat white, which they did not know, explained that it was 2oz espresso and 4 oz steamed milk. The guy at the counter was nice and said he understood, but when my drink was ready they gave me a latte with long shots and it wasn't even good. We threw one of the drinks out because it was so bad and opted for cold brew.

Best Coffee Shop On The Beach!!! I come here all the time during the summer and winter!

I can’t say enough how pleasant this local coffee shop is. My family and I had our first visit to Nags Head a few years back and Front Porch was the first place we found for our coffee so we can watch the sunrise. Such a welcoming place and genuine humble people. My mother had purchased a mug from here and she loved it!! But it broke a few months back and she was a bit heartbroken. So I did my research for this holiday season and found them and let me say that Ben and Chanel are my hero’s and completely AWESOME!!! They didn’t have but only 2 mugs pictured on their website so I gave them a call and I was in LUCK!! Ben was so patient with me and took the time and Chanel was wonderful and because of them, my mother will have her new mug this Christmas along with the memories we had made when she looks at it of our first visit to Nags Head. Thank you!!

Coffee was good, vegan milk options but very limited on any pastries that were. Super clean, lots of fun things to look at, plenty of seating to have coffee at.

More than just another Starbucks styled coffee bar. Excellent atmosphere for early morning and evening coffee breaks. They offer a decent variety of baked goods that are pretty good themselves. About the same pricing as Starbucks, very comfortable tables and waiting area. Fast WiFi, and plenty of room to get a little early morning office work done. Quite a decent selection of Coffee, tea, and other little trinkets for sale. Yet again a little heavy on the pricing, but one of the few local places you'll find a decent selection. Staff is usually very friendly and helpful, and great with suggestions.

Coffee is decent, so that is not the reason for my rating. However, I did have a negative experience with one particular barista at this location yesterday morning that warrants a one star rating. I ordered 2 coffees, one hot and one cold. The cold one, I received as soon as I finished paying. Then I waited for my second one that was taking longer to be prepared. When my name was finally called to pick it up, the heavy set barista with dark hair questioned me if I was actually Victoria and held back my drink. I said, "yes it is. I'm Victoria." Still holding my drink, she went on about how people had been stealing coffees that were not theirs. Finally, she gave me the coffee I paid for. I was the only person she did this too. Compared to the other patrons in the coffee shop, I was dressed well, so this certainly could not have been based on appearance. I also found this same barista looking at me while I stood in line to place my order, so we even made eye contact while I was in line at one point. I'm not quite sure what her vendetta was against me, but this was unprofessional and should have never happened. A paying customer should not be treated in this manner. Even is this location has been having issues with drinks being stolen, this still does not merit a paying customer being treated this way. If this is an issue, require patrons to hold on to receipts to pick up their order--for everyone, across the board.. I paid for both my drinks, and to be harassed for just picking up the order I payed for and embarrassed in such a manner--not okay. I will not be recommending this place.

Visited this location after enjoying their other location in Kill Devil Hills, and experienced equally exceptional service and great coffee at this location too! Even bought a cute handmade ornament to take home. Also very much appreciated the commitment to pandemic safety, which I haven’t experienced in some other OBX businesses.

My favorite coffee shop in all OBX. We come down once a year for our family vacation and this is my choice for morning coffee. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is always welcoming, the coffee and pastries are always delicious. I always recommend this place to folks I know traveling down here.
