Crema's Take

Sweet Seas pulls shots with the precision of a much larger roastery, and their affogatos—espresso poured over house-made ice cream—are genuinely worth the detour to Kill Devil Hills. This tiny takeaway counter has won over serious coffee snobs with espresso that actually tastes like espresso, not a vehicle for milk and syrup, and the owner's attention to detail extends to their homemade ice cream, which regulars describe as creamy and richly flavored. It's perfect for a quick grab before watching the sunset, or a lingering sit if you want to actually taste what you're drinking.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Family friendly. Parking available.

If you want to taste the coffee in your specialty drink, this is the place to go. Right up there with the best places I’ve ever been…and it’s a short list. Most places are for people who think they love coffee but really just want some chocolate milk. Not this place.

Great coffees, lattes, and home made ice cream. Good milk substitutes (almond and oat milk) for espresso drinks. Perfect location to enjoy the sunset and have a cone. The owner is awesome and puts a lot of thought into giving you the best service. We can’t wait to try all the…
