About

Front Porch Cafe sits on Croatan Highway (US-158) in Kill Devil Hills, part of the steady run of coffee shops, bakeries, and beach-town stops lining this stretch between the ocean and the sound. It's a straightforward cafe-and-bakery counter, open daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. — early enough for coffee before a sunrise walk on the beach or a morning climb up Jockey's Ridge, and open clear through the afternoon for anyone who wants a break from the sun.

The $ price range keeps it an easy daily stop rather than a special-occasion destination, and the cafe-and-bakery format is built for quick visits — coffee and something baked, not a sit-down meal. Its spot on Croatan Highway puts it within easy reach of Kill Devil Hills, Nags Head, and Kitty Hawk alike, and it's just a short drive from the Wright Brothers National Memorial, which anchors this end of town. Since the hours run the same 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day of the week, it's a dependable stop for early beach mornings or a mid-afternoon break alike.

Great coffee and atmosphere. Long line, but moved fast. Loved the seasonal drinks and the variety of beans! Awesome pastry choices! We will be back!

Cute little coffee place. When we visit OBX we typically go to Dunkin, but decided one morning on our way to Knotts Island, we would patronize a local place for our coffee run. This place was only 4 min from where we were staying and it was on our way. It had 4.7 stars and I can see why. I got an iced salty beach latte and it was perfect! We got it to go, but the little cafe was quaint. Even if it was rush hour busy, there is enough room to move around to get napkins, straws or add sugar, etc to your coffee. This may be a new coffee place to go while visiting the area!

I’m so glade we found this cute place for coffee!.Definitely better coffee than other places. They do have the real Expresso machine. That is the first thing I look for when I want real coffee..Very inexpensive very good price. Thank you so much making our visit beautiful.

Didn’t get picture of the coffee, but we had the Dubai chocolate and a West third. Both were flavorful and delicious. The chocolate chip cookies have big chunks of chocolate and were chewy and amazing.

I stopped by here for a morning pick-me-up and it was just what I needed. The coffee is roasted right there, and you can really taste the difference in how fresh it is compared to other places. It has a super relaxed vibe that makes it a perfect spot to sit and enjoy a bagel or a pastry while catching up on emails. The staff were friendly and made me feel right at home the second I walked through the door. I will definitely be making this a regular stop whenever I am in the area.
