Crema's Take
“This quirky hybrid of coffee shop and gift boutique pulls locals and tourists alike with genuinely excellent espresso drinks and pastries that justify the inevitable line, plus a fun browsing-worthy interior that makes lingering feel intentional rather than forced. The lavender lattes and cinnamon rolls are standouts, prices won't shock you for the Outer Banks, and the staff clearly enjoys what they do—it's the kind of place that feels like discovering a friend's favorite spot rather than a tourist trap.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

What a great place! Iced coffee...yum! Many cute things in the store.
This place has such a fun environment, lots of cool stuff to look at. The line was long when we got in but it moved quickly. The cinnamon roll was exceptional and the lavender latte was great. The chai was a powdered mix that was alright. Definitely worth the visit!
I was on my way home from Ocracoke to Manteo and I needed an espresso beverage so I stopped and it was a really good drink and amazing brownies they were yummy very nice place very nice customer service
We loved our quick trip to Beads & Beans! Friendly staff and their wide variety menus for coffee, pastries and other things are sure to please everyone who stops in. We loved the iced caramel macchiato and the Carmel coconut latte. But, the star of the show was the warm apple…
This is the place to get coffee with sense of humor. The coffee & pastries were delicious, the prices were very reasonable (especially in a resort town), and the service was wonderful! What more can you ask from a coffee shop? Oh, you would also ask for an adorable gift shop?…
