Duck's Cottage Coffee & Books

There's nothing like combining coffee and shopping on vacation--it truly makes for a perfect day. A friend recommended this quaint coffee shop that also doubles as a bookshop and souvenir store. These kinds of shops are becoming rare, so I was delighted to find one. This particular shop is known for its coconut crunch coffee. As one who may be coconut obsessed, I was excited to give it a try. While they do charge for refills, one cup is more than enough for me.On a chilly day in the Outer Banks, that warm cup of coffee was a welcome companion as I explored the charming little stores within walking distance.

Dropped in for a leisurely visit in the off season. Super happy that they were open! Ambiance is relaxed and cozy. The coffee is reasonably priced and you pour and mix it yourself. Enjoyed browsing their books and got away with a great puzzle and two journals. What a lovely way to while away the morning.

Very cute bookstore with small knick knacks and such. I bought a Duck's Cottage T-shift just because of the cute logo and perfect soft blue color. As they maze you through all of the books and things for sell it is impossible to not pick something up. By the popularity of this coffee shop I was expecting a much better latte. I ordered an iced honey latte. The espresso tasted burnt and they use small, crushed ice which immediately waters down lattes. Would not recommend.

Hands down favorite stop during our trip to Outer Banks.I was alone with the baby and could not have asked for a better spot to spend the day. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming.This is a cozy bookshop and coffee shop in one, and as an added bonus they have a turtle feeding pond in the back as well! Delicious coffee, great people, fantastic local stop.

Rare to find really good coffee...so much better than coffee we brew at home. The bakery items are sooo fresh and tastyWe bought coffee and muffins and sat on the comfortable porch

This is a super cute, small cafe and book shop located right off the Duck boardwalk that's absolutely worth a visit! I enjoyed it so much that I went there twice.The menu has delicious options, I ordered the coffee with hazelnut, I forget the name, and a cheese Danish and both were deliciously sweet. They also have a decently wide range of books for children and adults but not so wide that its overwhelming. The books vary from big, popular, current reads to small, local authors too, which I really appreciated.Along the walls you'll also find cute little things such as calendars and puzzles. I bought a book the first time when I stopped in the cafe and then the second time I bought a murder mystery book written by a local author and a souvenir button. They also have bookmarks advertising that they partner with librio if you're interested in supporting an audiobook company that isn't Amazon and puts more money into the pockets of the authors that we're supporting.I only subtracted a star because it is a tight fit if you're there when it's busy, which it was during my first visit. Theres not a lot of room for multiple people to browse the same area and it can make that a bit awkward, however my second visit where there was only one other person shopping made it much more easy to browse and take in all the different things the store had to offer.

I don't drink coffee, but the books they fit here amazed me! I couldn't believe how small it is but yet how many book options they had.I was very happy to see some books there by my fave author, Lisa Wingate, too.Definitely check this place out!

The town of Duck has always been incredible to visit and it was made even better when Duck's Cottage opened its doors. The inside is the epitome of cozy and comfortable. We visited three times during our week long trip. One member of my family had the Coconut Crunch Coffee all three times, it was so good they drank it without sugar or creamer. We also had the Hot Chocolate which has a delicious delicate chocolate flavor. The Chai Tea Latte was a personal favorite with its perfectly spicy taste. If you're looking for a beach read or a cup of deliciousness this is the place for you!

Quick service, good coffee, fun and yummy drink suggestions. Good atmosphere and handicap or stroller accessible (just slightly tight once you get inside, but it is possible!). Good book displays with recommendations for all your reading needs. I recommend the 1/2 sweet Purple Martin!

Coffee is always so delicious and the customer service is equally as great! Accidentally broke my plastic cup for an iced drink and they were so kind and remade it! Look forward to always coming here for coffee when we're down in OBX!
