Duck's Cottage

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!

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 great 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 cake muffin is also delicious! If you’re in Duck and craving a coffee, this is your place!

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!
