Part coffee shop, part juice bar, part mediterranean cafe – this Kill Devil Hills cafe serves up healthy beverages and nutrition-packed breakfast and lunch. A casual, welcoming vibe greets you from the moment you walk in the door. The coffee is fresh, the smoothies are delicious, and there are vegetarian and vegan options available, which isn’t very common on the Outer Banks. Outer Bean is a great antidote to all the fried seafood you’ve had on vacation, and the food is obviously made with love.

Fresh baked donuts can be customized with your choice of toppings. Maple bacon? Sure! Chocolate coconut? Yep! You dream it, they make it happen.

Find fresh, daily-made bagels at this family owned deli in the Southern Shores Marketplace. It’s a great place to stop if you’re looking to grab a tasty breakfast or quick lunch to take to the beach. Carbo-loading is definitely the focus here, but they also offer healthier options such as smoothies, juices, and gluten free fares. We’re big fans of the bacon, egg, and cheese on their rosemary olive oil bagel.
