Hatteras restaurants definitely include coffee shops. Casual, community-centric and artistically driven, the coffee shops reflect several of the Hatteras villages’ top attributes. These locally owned coffee joints are funky, coast-inspired establishments, and it’s not uncommon to sip your hot brew, macchiato or smoothie while hanging out inside a cedar shake, cottage-style house. For many, the Hatteras coffee shops are ideal spots to meet up with friends, check out artwork and craft goods made by Outer Banks artists or simply swing by as during a drive to northern or southern destinations for a caffeine jolt paired with a sweet pastry.
