Getting high on chai in Oriental, NC

If you are looking for a centrally located, friendly, warm, sunny, exciting, relaxing coffee place close to the water with wi-fi and a great view I strongly recommend "The Bean" in Oriental, NC. I took the car while Philip and Josh were sailing down from Elizabeth City and spent most of the afternoon here, drinking one coffee after the other, followed by a couple of organic chai lattes and muffins. Yes, with extra butter. A big "Thank You!" to the Hungry Dragon gourmet and natural foods store, who sent me here! We stayed at Oriental Harbor Marina and went for our Thanksgiving dinner at the Toucan Grill and Bar after we had already had a scrumptious breakfast slash lunch at the Oriental Steamer with lots of turkey stuffing and corn pudding and crab and Portabella mushrooms and soup and bread and... Am I overeating? Yes, and loving it. Send more food, please!
