Reviews
We came across The Dancing Turtle during our recent Hatteras vacation & quickly made it part of our morning routine. The staff was great! There are so many beverage options, both coffee and "non-coffee," and a wide selection of syrups to choose from!" (The frozen hot chocolate was so good!) There was seating both inside & outside. The outdoor area was very charming with swings, tables, and lots of shade!
Place is a nice little small town coffee shop with a great offering of various coffee drinks. I had the mint dream and my partner had the campfire mocha, and both were fantastic. Definitely a strong recommend if you're looking for a coffee shop to either chill at for a bit or just mix up your typical coffee morning routine!
Ok... I'm a snob. I'll admit it. I'm PAINFULLY picky about my coffee (which is why I generally just do it myself) and the bar was low. Mostly because of severe disappointment each time I order something... anywhere. Not here. Not ever. This was a stop on our first morning on the island and we were there nearly every day they were open after. Perfectly steamed milk, perfectly balanced flavor. (At least when who I'm assuming to be the or one of the shop owners is making the drink.) There's love in that cup. There's a sense of pride in the craft and my God did it not come through. A lavender latte is a hard thing to balance but it worked, flawlessly. I'd drive an hour south just to get a cup. It's that good. The outside seating is a welcome and refreshing plus. Sitting in a rocking chair with one of your favorite friends, sipping on a cup of perfection is the absolute best start to a day and I'm so glad I got to experience it here.
Amazing little shop right next to the supermarket. Great atmosphere and incredibly helpful staff. I'm a coffee snob and their selections were on point!
Great place to grab your morning coffee and muffins. I ordered a fruit smoothie and it was refreshing and delicious. It's dog friendly and they have a lot of outdoor and indoor sitting. Recommended!
So many coffee options! Great place to go when you’re in the Hatteras area.
Such an awesome little coffee shop! I work as a digital nomad and will bunker down in coffee shops for several hours at a time. This coffee shop was excellent!
The internet was fast, the service was friendly and they had some very comfortable couches! It's a neat little vibe and they are the only shop on the island.
Highly recommend stopping by if your in the area, I will be for sure working from there again.
One of the only coffee shops in Hatteras area. We were staying at the marina and made sure to drop by for morning coffee and $1 day old pastries.
Cheap, great service and good food and great environment. They have a whole outside area with benches and tree swings. Pastries were to die for. Better than Starbucks with a mom and pop feel.
