Waves Coffee & Candies — Restaurant in Hatteras Island

This is one of the best coffee shops in the OBX! The service is fantastic as the staff is friendly and the owner is very accommodating. The coffee is great and they have so many delicious sweets and baked goods. They also have cool souvenirs as well.

Now referencing Miss Lisa Smith’s post below mine, she isn’t stating the facts as I was there when the incident went down. Someone else picked up her order by mistake (they thought it was their order) and then spilled the coffee everywhere. I should mention the cups have names on them, and they take your name once your order is in, so not sure how this mixup really happened in the first place? Miss Smith was upset (which is reasonable) and asked the owner to make their whole order for them again. The owner who was already busy making drinks for other customers (including my own) told her she would do that as long as the order was paid for by the customer who spilled their drinks (again reasonable, as this is a business not a charity). The customer who spilled the drinks agreed to pay for the spilled drinks, but Miss Smith refused, saying she didn’t want them to have to pay for her order and demanded they be made for FREE again. I mean seriously??? This is why you’re upset? You were going to get your drinks and there was a clear solution in place. This is a local coffee shop not a Starbucks, they can’t just give product away for free. The rest of us customers thought you were acting out of line and this was typical “Karen” behavior. I for one can’t believe a grown woman acted like that after being offered a solution. Please ma’m for the sake of other small businesses please don’t visit them, as your behavior and entitlement issues aren’t...

Nestled against the vastness of the outer banks Rodanthe North Carolina, there lies a hidden gem. An enchanting little bakery/candy shop in the middle of the ocean. This captivating Oasis overlooks the mesmerizing dance of the Waves offering little treats to locals and tourists alike. Within the boundaries of this bakery exists a heavenly creation, a bagel sandwich. I am not a bagel lover, mostly because they're either too thick overly chewy. Obviously, offer way too many carbs but this one was perfectly crispy on the outside. Not too thick and just the right of soft and chewy inside. To taste this culinarary masterpeice, you must travel 18 miles south of Nags Head, NC to Rodanthe & bless yourself with nature & food...

Becky and her crew are wonderful. We live too close to have delicious iced coffee and sweets available so I’ve had to make a weekly allowance. Even when I find the strength to say no and make coffee at home, the toddlers will try to drag us over there for a cinnamon roll. On top of that, my dogs know she has treats so they’ll try to drag me over there on walks. The universe won’t let me resist spending my money here, and, if I had unlimited funds, I’d never try to resist spending my money here in the first place. 10/10 from...
