Front Porch Cafe - Kitty Hawk, NC
5336 N Croatan Hwy, Kill Devil Hills, NC
Crema's Take
“The baristas here genuinely care about getting your drink right, which shows in the loyalty they inspire—regulars rave about being "resurrected by espresso" and the staff's infectious friendliness even during the afternoon rush. Front Porch's drive-thru is perfect for grabbing a quality espresso drink and pastry between beach errands, though expect a wait if you hit them when they're slammed. Stick to the espresso drinks and skip the food unless you're just grabbing a bagel, as the sandwiches don't match the coffee quality.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available. Drive-thru.

This location, just over the bridge in Kitty Hawk (the former McDonalds) is great. It's the perfect place to grab a coffee and snack between errands and chores. The coffee was delish and the bagel i got was super tasty. The server was also very nice. I recommend!

Pulled up to Front Porch Coffee thinking I was just grabbing caffeine. Nah. I got resurrected by espresso. Theresa and Taylor don’t make coffee — they run a caffeine revival on the beach. I walked in half asleep, windblown, questioning my life choices… and left ready to buy…
