“Update: this review was originally written a couple years ago and since writing, many things have changed. They now do offer allergy free ice cream and no longer have the deer park water. The owner also reached out personally to me and said that she works every day to ensure they don't have the bad customer service. Based on her personal reply, I have no reason to doubt this. We went in here this evening and we have two with a milk allergy. Most places like this would have at least one flavor of dairy free ice cream. Or even a smoothie at best. No! Instead they had 2 snotty women who looked at us like we were crazy to ask of such a thing! One of the people with the milk allergy is not only allergic to milk but also is only 6 with developmental delays (is just learning to talk and can't eat any solids) so doesn't fully understand why everyone else is able to have a treat right in front of him and he doesn't get anything. When I went back in to ask about maybe a smoothie, they were snotty again with their snapping "no" back to me. The least they could've done is acted like they cared and said "no, sorry" rather than being snotty. I decided later on that I wanted something to be able to wash the mediocre-at-best-ice cream down, so went back in for a water. They charge $1.08 for some cheep deer park water. They can't even get the good Dasani or Aquafina. And on top of that, they are charging so much for the water! Reply to owner: This is most definitely the correct location. We went in July and I had written this but forgot to hit post until now“
“I ordered a custom cake for my daughters birthday. I sent the decorator, Kris, a picture of what I was looking for and when I picked it up, it was exactly what I wanted. Great pricing too.. I highly recommend using them for your next party ?“
“It's an oceanside pizza parlor and arcade, so it doesn't have great "atmosphere", but if you take your food out the back thru the arcade, you can eat it outside about 50 yards from the ocean. Their pizzas have more toppings than any pizza parlor I've ever eaten at, especially The Breakers' Special pizza. They also sell hand scooped ice cream, and are generous with their scoops. The people that own it and run it don't smile a lot, but the service is almost always excellent, so don't let that get in the way of a good experience. Only real negative is the parking. There's only 2 spots in front of the building, so you usually have to park across the street, which is free. DON'T park in the lot next to the bldg, as that's emergency access for EMTs. Parking at the OIB Pier parking lot MAY be OK, but check the signage as before 6pm there's probably a charge to park there. I recommend WALKING to Breakers if you can, so you get great food and good exercise.Kid-friendliness: No one goes in here expecting a fine dining experience, so kids of all ages, and noise levels, will probably be fine here. They do have a high chair.“
“Nice ice cream shop with a good selection of flavors, including a few non dairy. Staff was very helpful in helping to choose an option that met food allergies. Gluten free cookie wasn't homemade, but it was still great to have as a choice.“

“I can't visit Sunset Beach without stopping at Sunset Slush! My husband jokes that I need to branch out more because my go-to is the Rainbow USA Gelati. The other flavors are also tasty, but that's my hands down favorite flavor that I always go back to. The shop can get busy in summer, but is on my list of "must visit" places whenever I am in town! Plus they have an inside section with candy! My tip for other visitors is to get the reusable koozie cup. It keeps it cold longer (melts so much quicker when you use the disposable cup) and refills are a bit cheaper! Plus the inner cup can go in the dishwasher! It's worth it.“
“This hidden gem is one of the best ice cream places I have ever been to. Loved the ice cream and the pricing can’t be beat. We go here every year when we go on vacation. I will continue to bring my family here every time we come to Sunset Beach for vacation.“
“Hot chocolate with caramel and French vanilla was excellent! Strawberry bomb smoothie (Smoothie with boba) was delicious. Service was very friendly and accommodating regarding drinks. Prices are reasonable. Great place to visit while at Sunset Beach!“
“The best place to get ice cream and other treats in the area. The owner and her grandson were so welcoming when we stopped by and the the owner even sat down to chat with us. Next time I’m in southeast NC, I’m going to pass by for more.“
“As usual the ice cream is still as good as ever. Only one thing wrong with it, I found out from the young women that worked there that they had quit selling strawberry flavors and chocolate flav ors also. She said the only chocolate flavor they right now was hot fudge. I really loved the strawberry with wait walnuts and they don't have those anymore either. They only have dry peanuts and peacans. I don't like those at all.“
“When I went it was out of season, however that didnt change a thing in my eyes. Only one lady there when we went and she was very kind. A little slow but I mean what can I expect from an out of season shop with one employee working. The slushies are the only things I've had from here and by God they are the greatest treat you can buy in Ocean Isle area. Super tasty treat :] would recommend to anyone.“
