This place has so many coffee options I was so impressed. It also has a wide selection of decaf drinks such as smoothies, refreshers, and frozen drinks. The front area has many games such as ping pong, badminton, tic tac toe, board games, and swings. There are many seating options and it is so fun to stop by at for coffee and to enjoy your time. The muffins are all delicious and the drinks were the perfect size. They have pumpkin spice lattes in the spring!!! Yay!!!

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!

We love the Dancing Turtle's new location next to the Red and White grocery store in Hatteras Village. In a beachy house with a beautiful yard and welcoming interior. Handmade baked goods as well as fun and delicious coffee drinks. I'm enjoying a fantastic Butter Rum muffin and frozen Raspberry White Chocolate mocha on their deck right now. Wow! And Staff is awesome. This is a must stop when we visit Hatteras.

We had a wonderful experience at the Dancing Turtle! They have tons of drink options and the coffee and smoothies we got were delicious. The atmosphere is SO family friendly. Fun yard games in a beautiful shady yard as you enjoy your drinks. Definitely a great all around experience!

While visiting Hatteras we stopped here daily. Don't be turned off by the line. The team is young and energetic and moves swiftly with the preparation of your order. There are dozens of flavors to be added to your coffee and many signature drink options. Small selection of pastries is also available.

Friendly, great coffee and pastry options. The front lawn is the prettiest outdoor dining for miles. We are in the shade of a beautiful live oak and a sea breeze is blowing by as we sip our coffee.
