Cafe and bakery stop in Waves, open 8am to 8pm every day right on NC-12
Mirro's Cafe is a cafe-and-bakery stop on NC-12 in Waves, one of the three closely knit villages — Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo — on the northern stretch of Hatteras Island, entirely within Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The cafe keeps identical eight-to-eight hours all seven days of the week, making it a dependable stop for an early coffee and pastry before heading out to fish or surf, or a later meal on the drive through the village strip. Its listing across cafe, restaurant, and store categories points to the kind of counter-service setup that covers coffee and baked goods alongside grab-and-go items and a fuller menu.

Food was extremely good. My party got an “eggscelent burger” and a turkey wrap. Both were great and came out speedily. We were checked on multiple times but not an overbearing amount. Customer service was very very friendly and welcoming. The only negative thing that stood out in any way was simply the pricing. It was $61 dollars for two meals after the tip. Outside of the price there is absolutely nothing negative to say about this place.

We would like to thank the staff for providing us with these delicious meals, even though we arrived late as they were closing. Their kindness, patience, and hospitality truly meant a lot to us. The food was wonderful, and the service was even better. It’s rare to find people who still go the extra mile at the end of a long day. Thank you again for making us feel welcomed and cared for!

We stopped in for a quick bite and enjoyed ourselves. We got some burgers and fries. They were hot and fresh. The staff were super friendly. We grabbed a few local brews. They did say on the menu they had other beer but they let me know they only had what was on the wall from a local brewery. I enjoyed them but my wife not so much lol. I did see they have a great coffee setup for breakfast. I’m sure it’s a good stop for a good coffee and breakfast sandwich. They had outdoor seating which was a little cramped but we made due with no issue. I do wish they had a ramp for strollers…unless we missed it. If we needed a lunch stop when back in town we would stop in again.

Cute little diner with great, flavorful food. My kids each got chicken tenders and liked them. My husband got the seafood tacos and enjoyed them. I got the mahi mahi sandwich and loved it. Fries had great seasoning too. Definitely worth a stop! We're planning to make our way back one more time to try their breakfast!

It was just past lunch hour on a rainy Saturday afternoon on HI. For those in the know, there are few food places readily available at this time on the OBX because it is turn around day for most renters. They are a counter service seat yourself restaurant. The service was phenomenal with a smile, and the food was great. The menu included local food selections, which included a tuna steak sandwich, and some local craft beers. When you find these local diamonds in the rough you plan on returning, and I felt compelled to leave this review, as a result. This is a definite destination after a long day of driving!
