BEADS & BEANS OBX

Great find in an area with not a lot of options mid week for breakfast. Tasty latte and mocha with the best bear claw pastry ever eaten.

Also, unique items in their gift shop.

Cute coffee shop. Smells great with cinnamon rolls and plenty of coffee choices. Only negative is it's on the 3rd floor so the stairs aren't fun when carrying hot drinks.

Must go if you’re in the area. Went every morning they were open during our stay. Friendly employees and DELICIOUS pastries - OMG so good! We tried croissants (chocolate is to die for) scones, crumb cake (I’m still thinking about the cinnamon!!) and some coffee drinks. Also a small store with very cute goods I didn’t see in other island stores. Out of drinks, goods and pastries the pastries are what you cannot miss!! Support this small local business and be sure to check out their Facebook for hours and what the daily offerings are.

The pastries here are amazing!!! The muffins melt in your mouth , all the baked goods are outstanding , this lady is a fantastic baker !! Made fresh every single morning , this local , family owned business all work so hard and it really shows. Oh , they have the best coffee in Outerbanks ; they can make your favorite ; hot or cold or try my favorite ; their Hatteras Jack. Buy some treasures from the shop to remember your time in OBX before you leave . This is a must do , repeat do if coming to HI .

So I’ve seen some of the negative reviews and I saw all the positive ones so I figured what the heck let’s give it a try. What I found was a very efficient coffee shop. Are they the most friendliest people around. Not really but by no means are they rude. They are very professional but they are efficient and that means they don’t stand around chatting. They take your order and they move you on. I saw nothing wrong with that. Now if you are a local then that’s a bit different but I was a local in a tourist town once and that’s they way they all are. The iced frap that my daughter got was delicious and the black tea was great. Temperature was perfect on the tea. I had a cinnamon roll as well. I found it quite good and as a baker myself I tend to be harsh on others baking. This one was hard on the very edge but moist and gooey the way a roll should be. Needless to say I enjoyed it a lot. All in all a good visit and a place I would diffidently return to

This place is fantastic. We stopped in for coffee and ended up going on a shopping spree for crystals. The girl who helped us was absolutely wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable about every single thing we pointed out. She even went so far as to write me a list of every time of gem we bought. We will definitely go here every day until we leave to go back home.

Delicious espresso drinks. Beautiful store. And the best chocolate muffin I’ve ever had in my life! Seriously it was so moist and had a super rich chocolate flavor.

Unbelievable pastries. Like, we drove from Nags Head 3 days in a row just for the food. That good. Iced coffee was great too, staff friendly and happy to help. Hands down our favorite place in the Outer Banks for breakfast.

Love this place. The owner remembered our order every day and the coffee was incredible. All of the staff were fun and personable! Definitely don’t miss this place if you are in the area.

The coffee was so good, we ended up going twice. This place has something for everyone and the staff are super friendly. Give them a try, they won't disappoint.
