Cindy's Kitchen

This review is for Cindy's cakes sold at the nearby Citgo gas station. I have never been to her nearby restaurant. When your traveling to or from the Outer Banks do yourself a favor. Stop for fuel and a Cindy's cake to go. They are marvelous! Over the years we have not not been disappointed with a variety of offerings. One of my favorites has been an Oreo. Cindy don't play, they are big! Great prices and a quality product. It can be hit or miss what is put out, don't get upset with the Citgo staff. They only sale her cakes. I'm looking forward to my next cake already.

OMGOODNESS delish! Great homemade baked goods, breakfast and lunch items. This is not a restaurant, it's grab-and-go at Kevin's gas station next door. If you stop for breakfast, definitely grab some hash brown casserole, it's the bomb, and the muffins have that wonderful made-from-scratch texture and moistness. And, if you pay cash, you will get some 50-cent pieces back in your change!

They worked with me to order two cakes for which I drove from Virginia to pickup. The 12 layer Chocolate cake tasted just like my grandmother's; it was moist and tender and that frosting is sublime! I also bought a Coconut-Raspberry 12 layer cake that was the hit at my dinner party! The cake could not have been better, the raspberry wasn't overpowering, but leant a freshness that was unexpected. The coconut frosting was not overly sweet, but tasty. While there, my friend and I each got a sandwich; chicken salad and egg salad, and a scone for lunch which we enjoyed on the ride home. The employees were super helpful and cheerful and all in all, it was a delightful experience and we will be back!

Possibly the best cake I have ever had! Do not miss this place! It is located inside Kevin's gas station...

When I found out that Cindy actually sold her baked goods and meals at a Citgo Convenience Store, I was a little reticent about checking this place out, but all of the positive reviews I was reading on Facebook, as well as the pictures of various foods she was making, was too hard to resist. We had recently moved to Moyock, NC, therefore, we were in search of local favorites, and this place was the top of the list for good eats.My wife and I pulled up at Citgo and entered the store and holy chocolate cake...I felt like a kid in a candy store! The shelves were filled with cakes (by the slice, half of a cake or whole), muffins, cupcakes, brownies, scones, cookies, breakfast sandwiches, etc. and the refrigerator was filled with sandwiches, salads and casseroles. Everything I've had there has been amazing! I am more than happy to drive 20 mins for a 12 layer chocolate cake! Everything Cindy and her Mom make is homemade and delicious! I've tasted several of her baked goods and sandwiches (chicken salad, tuna salad...even PB & J) and I've like everything! I've introduced Cindy's to several other people and they've thanked me for turning them onto this gem!They always say "Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover" and this local diamond in the rough, definitely falls into this category. My car automatically turns into this place every time I'm in the area (fortunately for my waist, I only go about once every couple of months...but when I go, I don't come home with less than 6 or so various items....and always a slice or HALF of the 12 Layer Chocolate Cake!) This is my Mom's favorite, as well and when Mom is happy, everyone is happy!

The sweet potato biscuits are so good. They did overcharge us though, which was a hassle to fix. Great food, overall.

Cindy's Kitchen is one of the traditional stopovers that we make either entering or leaving the Outer Banks. I cannot pass up the opportunity to pick up a slice of her famous 12 Layer Cake. It has a perfect crumb and the chocolate icing on each layer is just enough that it doesn't become cloyingly sweet. The bakery has a wide selection of freshly made goods that its sure to please any sweet tooth.One quick tip for those who are looking for the mecca of all good things baked; it is located inside the gas station. Other things to consider for the long haul back home include their caramel cake, the egg salad, chicken salad, or pimento cheese sandwiches. If you need that burst of energy consider picking up some southern sweet tea.

I got the sweet potato cupcake which was very soooo good. I also got to try the peanut butter cookie which was delicious. The large sign is misleading as it points to the old location next door. It is actually located inside the gas station. The prices for individual cake pieces are a little high but you get what you pay for. They certainly offered a large variety of sweets too.

I was a little taken-a-back by its location in the Citgo convenience store but don't let that keep you from going in. They are well stocked with many yummy choices. We stopped by at 10:00 for a breakfast-on-the-go and tried the sausage, egg, mayo sandwich with and without cheese and they were devoured by the crew. We also tried the chocolate muffin which was more like a cupcake without frosting, but hey, if it's labeled as a muffin it's healthy. The scones were tasty, but a little "cakey". We got 2 chocolate chip cookies, an assortment of muffins (chocolate, cranberry orange, blueberry, and sweet potato), and scones (blueberry, apple cinnamon). We didn't try any of the "fresh squeezed" drinks but saw the press ready to squeeze and the famous 12 layer cake looked very tempting but it would have been too messy for the car ride. Lots of locals seem to know this is the place to go for good food to go , so you should too.

What a surprise I read the reviews but had to experience it myself. The pecan pie muffins were amazing!!
