Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe
7623 S Virginia Dare Trail, Kill Devil Hills, NC
Crema's Take
“This Outer Banks institution built its reputation on fresh-caught seafood and scratch-made sides rather than chasing coffee trends, so expect a full sit-down restaurant experience with reliably excellent fish dishes alongside your morning coffee. The crowd skews local and family-friendly rather than Instagram-focused, and you'll actually find a seat without a reservation most mornings—a rarity near the beach. Fair warning: consistency can be hit-or-miss with the non-seafood sides, so stick to what they do best.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Great food. Their flounder was very good. Enjoyed them being open and not packed as others were waiting to get in. Wanted a good seafood place. My kids had chicken of course. Our waiter was overwhelmed some and couldn’t find him when we needed him. That’s why I gave low stars…
