Northern Lights Bakery

Very sweet little bakery in OBX. Service was incredibly friendly and fast and the shop itself is laid out well where you can see all of the goods. We landed on a couple of cake donuts, a cinnamon roll, a chocolate croissant, and some sausage croissant breakfast sammies. We also had a flat white and a Vietnamese coffee, both of which were delicious!The chocolate croissant definitely needs more flake. The outside of the joint is smack up against a mini golf course and they started blaring music at 8:45am; didn't love that. Would have liked to enjoy my coffee without "Let it Go" blaring through the speakers. I think they should change locations. Would definitely recommend though and would be back to try more items!!

We come here 5x's a week, once a year. Nothing better. It's funny that "Karen" gives them a 1 star because they were closed for a staffing issue. She's probably the same lady who puts her tent up in front of mine at the beach. Food - 5*, Service - 5*, Vibe - 5*. Mad Karen - 0*. WE LOVE NLB!

Remotely ordered custom cakes in advance of a vacation gathering of 34 family members for my sisters 80th birthday party. Northern Lights suggested two 8 inch round cakes and we agreed on one all vanilla one all chocolate. The icing on both was very light, creamy and delicious. I think the vanilla was more popular, as the chocolate was on the lighter side, not fudgy. The service was remarkable and we thank you for ease of communication and responsiveness!!

Very nice place with amazing staff.We got a dozen donuts of various flavors. I tasted a couple different types and they all tasted great from the maple glazed to the strawberry & sprinkles. We had also gotten duck donuts and I honestly prefer these ones even though they are not warm like duck donuts. These donuts are More dense and larger.What makes this place even greater is that we went back the next day to try some more stuff. I got a spinach croissant which was delicious. We also where given a bag of donuts! At first I thought they might have given them because they where old and not good enough to sell, but they tasted great! Would highly recommended trying this bakery!

Clean location with friendly and efficient service. Delicious cold brew. Danishes and breakfast sandwiches were the best we have ever had! Sandwiches had Fluffy, soft biscuits with perfectly cooked eggs. Danishes tasted fresh and light. Highly recommend the peach and cheese danish. Haven't tried the doughnuts yet, but we will be back for those tomorrow.

Excellent food, and great service The pastries and coffee here are excellent well worth a trip!

Great donuts and pastries. Just be prepared that there is usually a line during the busy season (10-20min wait).

Always a favorite when we come to obx. We always plan on spending two mornings at this non chain bakery. Such a wide variety of menu items for breakfast or dessert. I had three Vietnamese coffees this week!! Bacon egg croissant is classic. Even just a plain cake donut is perfection, crunchy outside with soft inside. Spinach croissants warmed. Putt putt next door is also a good addition to burn off some sugar.

Good breakfasts/ get there early for best pastry cake cookies supply // they go fast

Terrific coffee, friendly staff and one of the best Apple turnovers we've ever had. Looking forward to visiting again on future trips
