Our story

A Cape Carteret tradition, plate after plate.

Angie's Lighthouse Café is a family-friendly stop on NC-58 where neighbors meet for coffee and visitors find their new favorite breakfast spot. We serve the finest breakfast and lunch, plus some of the best seafood eastern North Carolina has to offer.

Every omelet is folded by hand, every biscuit pulled fresh from the oven, and every cup of coffee poured like you're family. Because around here — you are.
