Good Eats - Edit
This is a regular stop when we are in the area. There are a lot of vegan options which are all generally tasty - but some things are way too garlic-y. I generally skip over the garlic-y sandwiches and opt for their salads which are surprisingly filling (and that's from someone who doesn't usually do salads as a meal). Their smoothie bowls are really tasty and very filling too! And their butternut squash soup - hands down the best I've ever had.
Read moreThe staff is friendly and service is always quick. They almost always have at least one vegan goodie at the counter - like some seriously giant cookies!
Pros: great staff, quick service, filling portions
Cons: too much garlic on some items

Friendly service, nice food - Edit
We had an early lunch and it was nice. There’s a bunch of items that can be made vegan and plenty of smoothies to choose from. Atmosphere is nice and relaxed beach style. The nutrition 101 salad without the egg was pretty nice. My husband loved the coffee, reminded him of Australian style coffees.

life saver!! - Edit
I'm so over ordering side salads with no cheese (& no flavor) as the only option @ restaurants w my non-vegan dad (whose tired of trekking half an hour to hunt down some over-priced vegan joint where'd he'd reluctantly eat a tasteless bean patty wishing it was a cheese burger) This place is perfect! they've got plenty of vegan options with flavor (imagine that), & even a "meat lovers" panini for my dad the trooper

love this spot! such good vegan options! - Edit
This place is a little hard to find, tucked in a small strip mall at mile marker 4.5. It's on the right if you are headed north. You should definitely go here! The portions are good and everything is top quality, homemade with care. The owner recycles and composts carefully too and is all around so pleasant. Very homey legit small business.
Read moreI went here last year visiting OBX and was glad I found it again this year for our trip. The vegan sandwich is GIGANTIC and awesome. Their juices are super tasty. Love having healthy fresh options.
They also serve beer wine coffee and other drinks.
Pros: vegan friendly

An Outer Banks Favorite! - Edit
Outer Bean is one of our favorites for delicious, healthy, homemade vegan food. We love their freshly pressed juices and smoothies, too! The owner and her daughter are usually behind the counter, and their wonderful creations seem to be a labor of love. Everything we have tried is excellent! We are thrilled to have found this OBX gem.

Outstanding! - Edit
What a great find! My husband and I have been to the Outer Bean a few times during our vacation, and we've both been very impressed. This place is super cozy with friendly staff and excellent vegan options. I had the vegan breakfast sandwich and the vegan panini, both of which were fantastic. My husband (not veggie) also really enjoyed his meals and coffee. The juices were also great! Definitely will be back to the Outer Bean on future trips to the area.

If I could eat here every day, I would - Edit
This is one of those places where the food and the service come together to create the perfect combination of happiness for the mind and the body. I was in need for some actually good nourishment in the vegan food desert of the outer banks. Outer Bean was perfect for that. I had their soup of the day, which was gluten free, vegan, oil free, and fat free. I also had a meal smoothie that was everything green and lovely. The women who were making everything behind the counter were so friendly and talkative, it was amazing. They were so warm that I could feel the good vibes radiating off them.

Great Little Find, Friendly Service - Edit
I found this place through Happycow.com and visited on our last day in the OBX (which we now realize was a huge mistake). My husband is not vegan, but he was happy with his chicken panini and the iced tea. BTW, try their iced tea. It's some peach-beet-clove-cinnamon-ginger infusion or something like that and it's DELICIOUS. There were 2 ladies behind the counter when we walked in and both welcomed us immediately. They were very friendly and even made suggestions from their vegan options (which were a lot more than I was expecting in the OBX). I settled on the Kale Salad. And I can't put into words how delicious that was. I think my favorite part was the spicy peanut dressing. It was so refreshing and definitely the healthiest thing I ate on vacation. And it was filling. I also had the Mean Green Juice from the juice bar. It was made to order right in front of me so I got to see everything that went into it. So. Good. It's a bit small but a nice friendly atmosphere. Oh and they have Live Music on Friday nights :)

Amazing Find!!! - Edit
This is the best restaurant I've found since moving to Hampton Roads, VA 2 years ago. There are bunches of vegan options (soups, salads, juices, smoothies, coffees, etc). I had the Vegan Panini (amazing!) and the Vegan Salad; spouse had a Green Smoothie. Both were fantastic. I highly recommend a visit, even if you aren't vegan (they have meat options too). The food is fresh, real, and healthy...and it tastes great. I'll definitely be going back!! I'd rate them a "10", if I could.

Great food and juices - Edit
Don't be thrown off by the sign that says "coffee shop" to the name "Outer Bean". It is much more than a coffee shop. Excellent fresh juices and teas. The food and baked goods are great. Speak to the owner about any dietary needs. She is very accommodating.

fantastic find in the Outer Banks - Edit
Fantastic option for vegan/vegetarians at the Outer Banks – so hard to find options here. The vegan panini and vegan protein salad were excellent, they also accommodated vegans by making sure the items were not prepared with any utensils that touched animal products. Large selection of juices and smoothies, my Going Green juice was outstanding - one of the best I have had!
