Duck's Cottage

We love this place! As locals, we’re fortunate to be able to visit weekly. The staff are the kindest people you’ll meet! They’ve come to know myself and my family and always greet us with smiles and kind conversation. I love the seasonal specialty drinks and my daughter may be the top purchaser of cinnamon muffins! The carrot muffin is also delicious! If you’re in Duck and craving a coffee, this is your place!

This is the cutest sweetest coffee shop / bookstore! It made me just want to stay all day! We only ordered the drip coffee so I can’t speak for the lattes or other coffee drinks but the regular coffee was very good, and it was still piping hot (and we came at the end of the day) The staff was so friendly too!

Just got back from our annual OBX family vacation. We've been getting our daily coffee at Duck's Cottage for the past 15 years. The Coconut Crunch is insanely delicious. The staff is super friendly and really add to the whole experience. We always make sure to bring home 3-4 extra bags of coffee so we can savor the memories. Can't wait to be back next summer!

Duck’s Cottage is a gem in OBX that is a perfect place to patron if you’re looking for a great way to start your day or get an afternoon boost. It’s a cute and cozy shop with a really appealing atmosphere. As an avid coffee drinker, the coffee isn’t “the best I’ve ever had”, but it’s still good! Even as someone who’s not much of a reader, I appreciate the selection of books! Duck’s Cottage is worth a visit for sure and could become a staple of your trips to the Banks.

Great little shop, love the books but unfortunately the coffee is terrible. I had just a plain drip coffee and it tastes very under extracted, bitter water if you will. Seems and tastes like they never truly clean their coffee pots. The top of my coffee looks like a mineral mosaic….yuck! Also seemed like we were inconveniencing the concierges in their conversation. The waterfront is gorgeous though!
