Charis Coffee

Charis Coffee was the cutest coffee shop! Our group stopped in while in the OBX for some afternoon coffee.I ordered an iced coffee to share with hubby. It was the perfect strength and had great flavor without any sweetener.Service was fast and friendly! I thought the prayer request wall was a fantastic idea and added to the cool atmosphere.They had a bunch of merchandise for sale like mugs and shirts as well as k-cups and bagged coffee.Be sure to check it out!

Great place to do your remote work- all day :)! They have enough of a crowd to run the business on a Tuesday, but there was still enough room for me to work without being too intrusive. If I was in/out for the food, I probably would've gone with 4/5, but the people here are really nice. The prayer wall they have is a unique touch, and the music they have playing naturally is Christian music. Six Pence and Amy Grant (a pop song of hers), and other songs I couldn't recognize but could tell that they were Christian songs. (I know some of them.) I had a bacon and something else smasher and it was a nice, light, savory taste, but I was hoping there would be more filling. The french press cup and the cinnabon coffee I had here were fine. I also tried their homemade cinnamon bun and lemon blueberry bun (which I believe is also homemade from them but a different flavor.) It was fine, but nothing was gnawing at me like I have to have it. As in part of their name, definitely come here for the coffee and maybe the Cruffins too since they are a Friday only event.For accessibility circumstances, there is a ramp in the center of this portion of the buildings that goes around and up into the small plaza here in which this coffee shop is included too. This place also proudly sells merch of its own brand name including shirts, mugs, and thermoses/ tumblers.

Super sweet people and great service - love the prayer wall- very good coffee and food! Highly recommend

I'll throw 4 Stars Charis's way although we just stopped in for hot lattes to warm us up on an off-season visit during a frigid, super windy, overcast, grey day.Just lattes. We had just finished a late lunch at Lost Colony Tavern (read my review) so it was around 4:30PM on a Monday when we got to Charis. Sort of a weird-ish vibe when we walked in. Looked like a local fashion trunk show was wrapping up so the place wasn't really set up for customers (or at least it looked and felt that way). Place was empty otherwise which wasn't a surprise given time of day and being off season and crappy weather.Folks behind the counter were super nice and friendly - felt like they might have been the owners maybe.The drinks were made quickly and they were good and reasonably priced. The only CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK I have for them is that my hot latte (and I would assume the others') was just barely above warm in temperature. Not hot. That was a bit of a disappointment. So if you guys can fix that, two big thumbs up for you.I ordered the WHITE OWL from the SPECIALTY COFFEE MENU (see my menu pic) - the melding of white chocolate, coconut (yum!), vanilla and espresso sounded ahhhhmazing - and it WAS so tasty. Rich and strong in flavor with the espresso plus all the other flavors I love. Altogether. RECOMMEND!We don't get down to Manteo often - every once in a while when we visit the OBX so I guess I would say I'd come back in to Charis next time we're down, even with that slight ding (of hot lattes not being very hot) because I'm guessing these guys are probably the only local small business specialty (non-Sbux / Dunkin) coffee shop in town. (Small Business supporter right here.)Give it a try and see for yourself what you think.

Charis Coffee is perfectly located in Manteo and has that Hallmark movie type of vibe. The aroma, the aesthetics and the ambiance are all perfect. The staff my wife and I encountered were welcoming and pleasant. The menu has an abundance of specialty, hot and cold drinks, and a selection of food items. The interior is amazing! One wall is dedicated to personal prayer requests that customers can leave, which is a unique and special opportunity not often found in business establishments. Charis Coffee is someplace you should visit for yourself to fully appreciate the experience!

Charis is always a staple when we come to the Outer banks. It's located in the charming town of Manteo which is less than 10 miles from Nags Head. Josh and Hannah, the owners, are absolutely fantastic! They roast all their own coffee beans. Fridays they have Cruffins which are a hybrid of a croissant and muffin. They're stuffed with different flavors, like Churro, Ham and Swiss, Orange Blossom...my mouth is watering lol. They also have a beautiful prayer wall that you can go and post your prayer. It's always an amazing visit.

We stopped here on a recommendation from the dolphin cruise employee. When we checked in, she told us where the bathrooms were and that her daughter told her about the cruffin at Charis and how amazing it was. Since I'm not one to pass up on a new experiences, my mom and I made a stop for a cup of coffee and upon seeing the cruffin (a cross between a muffin and croissant) we decided to get the caramel pecan one to split. The cruffin is huge. The cruffin is delicious. We didn't expect the cruffin to be filled with wonderful ingredients, but it was; there was caramel and pecans in the center. It was decadent and wonderful. The coffee was very delicious as well. My mom purchased a bag of beans to take home with her. She enjoyed her latte.The employees were helpful and friendly. I liked the set up and the warmth of the cafe. I also liked the prayer wall, it was a nice touch. There was also a book shelf with some games and books.

Hallelujah! Why can't we have more of these places? Staff is friendly! So many yummy options here from the drinks and pastries offered. Love the goods sold in the store too. But if you don't know Jesus, you can't appreciate this coffee shop. The ambiance is beautiful and uplifting from the inside, out! Love coming here!

My husband likes his coffee here. I got an iced green tea and the taste was great. The staff was friendly.

Really good coffee! Prices are amazing, too. Great family atmosphere. It's a must stop when you're in "downtown".
