Every town has its local coffee shop. On the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Front Porch Café is that spot. Established in 1999, Front Porch Café came into being for one simple reason… people needed a truly great cup of coffee. As the first small-batch roasteryon the Outer Banks, it began as a passion project rooted in a love for the craft.

To provide the best experience, we knew we had to roast our own beans in-house -controlling the process every step of the way. Today, that same commitment to quality has traveled from the coast to the heart of the Triangle, bringing our signature OBX blends to our newest home in Fuquay-Varina.

As locals and tourists alike fell in love with our coffee, Front Porch Café expanded into four coastal locations and our newest shop in Fuquay-Varina, serving thousands of customers every year.

Our coffee is sold in local stores throughout the beach and is exclusively used at many restaurants and coffee shops. You can even find our coffee in local Food Lion grocery stores!

Now open for over twenty-five years, Front Porch Café has been serving the Outer Banks community, our beloved tourists, and our new friends inland in a welcoming atmosphere!

Not only do we have a passion for our coffee, we also have a passion for our community and the world we live in. Front Porch Café embodies a love of the earth and its people, focusing on sustainable, earth-friendly, and humane growing practices.

We source our coffees from small independent farmers throughout the world, focusing on sustainability and the use of organic farming techniqueswherever possible. We have also incorporated biodegradable and recycled materialsinto all our stores - from the coast to the Triangle - including our cups and straws.

Truly a staple of the community, Front Porch Café continually volunteers for events, donates to local causes, and raises money for charities, focusing on improving the tight-knit communities we call home.

When you visit Front Porch, you will feel like family!
