Pass the Salt Cafe
138 Courthouse Rd, Corolla, NC
Crema's Take
“Pass the Salt Cafe punches well above its weight with standout sandwiches like the "Sorry Charlie" (crispy fried flounder with tzatziki on toasted brioche) and loaded gravy fries that locals won't shut up about. The kitchen executes everything from burgers to breakfast with real care, and the staff treats every visitor like they're settling in for the season rather than just passing through on the way back from the beach. It's the kind of spot where you'll happily detour off the main road, especially if you're hungry for something more interesting than typical tourist fare.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Such a quaint and welcoming place, beautifully placed near the bay. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent. The burgers are cooked perfectly and the rest of our meals were fantastic. Definitely worth going out of your way to eat at.

Passing through and saw this place on Google maps and so glad we stopped in to have lunch. We had the Reuben and Philly Cheesesteak both with fries. Both great choices. Also great service. Such a wonderfully decorated restaurant! We will stop again when we’re back in this area.
We saw Pass the Salt Cafe on our way home from OBX and figured we’d stop for lunch. If you are in the area, this place is INCREDIBLE. My husband and I got the gravy fries as an appetizer. He got the buffalo chicken sandwich and I got the palmeco pimento cheese sandwich.…
