BEADS & BEANS OBX

The beverages and baked goods are amazing. I miss the chocolate croissants! Super cute gift store and awesome people running it. Will return on our next trip daily!

If you are in Rodanthe be sure to hit this shop at 8AM when they open . There will be a line and the pastries go fast . MMM I had the Bavarian cream and a Hot Shipwreck coffee . Was first in line the next day I went ;-) Worth the wait , friendly fast service :-)

Not a bead store for starters!!! A couple beads mostly crystal stuff and spiritual house cleansing products as well as typical OBX gift shop stuff. Looks like coffee is good however some people can’t have nuts dairy or coffee…. But no beads is reason for 1 star rating for BEADER….

In response to the owner:

As the owner of a small business, I tend to frequent other small businesses, and rarely review them. Unless the service was extremely excellent, the food amazing, or the place was so disappointing that I feel it is a let down to other small business owners. I understand staffing shortages, but I have over come those issues by meeting cost of living wages, especially for seasonal employees and college students. But I think supply and demand is most important. As for customer service, your reply should be enough for other future customers to understand my review. Have a beautiful day and I most certainly recommend Grinds and Beads, the place on Manteo, Cloud Nine and a few other places. Most of your products are made in China. Oh you didn’t have Ice tea offered me dairy and I am allergic to nuts and milk and my husband doesn’t drink anything’s but skim, and you were out of the amazing pastry’s we read about. So please don’t get me started on supply and demand. And your reply is exactly why you got 1 star just as rude at the counter to weary travelers. Please post pictures of your amazing studio. All I see are crystals. Which all need cleansed based on your karma

Cute store except the guy making the coffee so I assume is the owner was extremely rude.

Delicious coffee, friendly baristas and cool locally made items. Definitely recommend!

Great coffee and a cute shop with unique jewelry, trinkets and gifts. If you’re looking for a little more of a “quality” gift/souvenir than the standard-on-every-corner beach shops offer, this place is one to check out!!

Coffee there was delicious. Tons of options. Incredible view from the outdoor seating.

If you love crystals and freshly made baked goods and great drinks this is the place for you! The chocolate - chocolate chip muffins are to die for!!

Great coffee! Iced due to the Temps outside. But still great little shop for a pick me up. Priced well. Only negative is due to the pandemic, the beads and crafting was shut down. Will try again next year. But either way drinks are amazing!

Always a great place for starting the day. Coffee made the way you like it and a great selection of muffins/ scones. Check out local gifts which are very affordable.
