Duck's Cottage

Step inside and you'll find Duck's oldest and truest full service coffee shop with freshly brewed pots of coffee made from beans roasted just days before at a small artisanal roaster; baristas with years of experience stand ready at our state of the art espresso machine to create any and all specialty drinks from a traditional caffe macchiata to house lattes like the Nutty Duck, Mucky Duck and the Swan. Other customer favorites include the Purple Martin, Ruddy Duck, Peep in a Cup and the CocoDuck. We've been cold brewing since the day we opened and any of our drinks can be made hot or iced, caf or decaf. Keep the younger set happy with a hot chocolate or flavored steamer topped off with homemade whipped cream that never fails to disappoint. Pair your drink with a delicious muffin, danish or other pastry; biscotti or nutritional bar.

We stock a selection of the East Coast's most popular newspapers including the New York Times and Washington Post along with our local paper, the Coastland Times. Our book side, while small, features a meticulously curated inventory of both hardback and paperback bestsellers, staff picks, non-fiction, trending cookbooks, new Outer Banks releases, children's books and young adult titles. National and local book club titles, signed first editions, holiday books, gift books and journals round out our shelves. We promise you will always find our shelves eclectic and interesting-  come in just for coffee and you'll most likely leave with a book you've never heard of or just couldn't resist. We also carry all-occasion (usually laugh out loud) greeting cards, Duck's Cottage signature gift items including mugs, hats, t-shirts and a great selection of coastal themed puzzles for those rainy hours. 

Duck's Cottage Coffee & Books is located on the pond at the Waterfront Shops in Duck, NC.
