Coffee and baked goods in Ocracoke village, open early for the ferry crowd
Ocracoke Coffee Company is a small cafe and bakery on Back Road in Ocracoke village, pouring coffee and baking pastries for early risers, ferry travelers, and anyone settling into island time. Doors open at 7 a.m. every day, which lines up well with the island's ferry schedules out of Hatteras, Cedar Island, and Swan Quarter — a reasonable stop before or after a boat ride that can run anywhere from about an hour to well over two.
It keeps things simple: counter-service coffee and baked goods, a $ price point, and hours built around a working morning rather than a leisurely one. Monday through Saturday it's open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday it closes at noon, so plan a later visit around that.
Ocracoke village — the only developed part of a roughly 13-mile island reachable solely by boat or small plane, with no bridge to the mainland — is compact and walkable, and a stop like this fits easily into a morning spent wandering toward Silver Lake or gearing up for a day on NC-12 toward the beach-access ramps to the north.

Beautiful little coffee shop - they have sugar free and decaf options, service was fast even though there was a long line, and staff was friendly. I like that everything was clearly marked where people could see where to go and where to stand and where not to stand. The coffee is DELICIOUS also.

This place is awesome. The smoothies are great and the coffee cakes are to die for. The inside decorations are cozy and well placed and the outside has a beautiful view on some really pretty seats. Staff was really understanding and nice too.

Be prepared to wait due to limited coffee houses on the island.

Chai Latte was genuinely the best chai latte I’ve ever had, the atmosphere was great and the chocolate donut was divine! We sat outside and came back for the music in the evening with some great musicians. The server Emmet was excellent, and personable, a great representation of the island. Absolutely an Ocracoke must.
