“We bought the four pack two brownie cookies one chocolate chip and a new chips ahoy monster cookie. We ate some after leaving shop have a couple left for later. Second time here this time took some family with us.Kid-friendliness: Kids we’re excited to pic their own cookie out“

“So delicious!! I want to try every flavor here! I got a cookie monster in a waffle cone. The ice cream is made with 14% heavy cream so if you have a sensitive stomach, do be cautious. They do have other options as well. I love their theme and can't wait to come back again soon and try an ice cream panini!“

“I pass this cute little spot to and from home everyday and finally stopped! I'm glad I did, so cute inside, great quaint beachy vibes, and friendly service. I had the March Mocha and chose the perfect drink for myself! I also loved that it's a raised building with an elevator so it is accessible to ALL!“

“Cute little place with just what you need! A quick meal, refreshments, and desserts in one place! Found it by accident but will definitely look for it again! The grease spot in the wrapper is always a sign you're about to eat something your soul desires!“

“Donuts: one (well, two) of the most delicious donuts I've ever eaten. I just got the funnel cake ones, one of the simplest options they carry.The only reason to reduce the star is because the store itself is PACKED with gift shop style items and it was a bit overwhelming. I know that's probably where they make their money, so I understand the need.“

“Very cool ice cream shop! Clean and well lit.sadly it was not very busy but I sure hope they survive since they are not in a very central location. My son really enjoyed his ice cream here and she served a nice scoop for him. The girl behind the register was very, very friendly... yeah highly recommend.“

“Hands down our favorite shop in OBX and absolute favorite place to get Açaí. Our family has a tradition of getting açaí wherever we go, no matter where we travel we look for the best açaí place. We cannot even begin to explain how much we love the açaí here. We went every day 3 days in a row and have yet to find a better açaí place. Shop is so super cute like a posh boutique and the owners are so friendly and you feel like you're going into a shop where like Cheers "everybody knows your name". And we can't forget the soft serve and waffle cone. Something for everyone. We will find vacation homes in Obx based on the proximity of it to this shop! Not to mention their packaging which screamed quality and attention to detail. Everyone was so nice especially considering we were a group of 13 and with all our order and specs for each they were so accommodating. We could go on and on but really it's meant to be experienced for oneself!“

“Owner, Rich, serves the best ice cream we’ve had in a long time. We had a lovely time chatting with him while we ate the ice cream he’d made there on the premises. We loved learning about his business and some local lore.The ice cream was served in homemade cones and waffle bowls, generous portions, and the flavors were epic. You won’t regret having a treat here!Try the pumpkin, salty caramel, Reese’s, and bubblegum!“

“Food was fresh and amazing. I had a cheeseburger which was insane. I really appreciate it when the ratio of toppings to burger is perfect. My son had the fried shrimp bowl and by husband had the dolphin sub - both were devoured. We tried the cajun mayo and the cocktail sauce and they were excellent. They were super friendly and our order was absolutely perfect. This is a must try if you are in the area. We will 100% be back!“

“They have one dairy-free option which is strawberry sorbet. It is homemade with fresh strawberries and it was a little too sweet. We also got the chocolate and chocolate peanut butter and it was delicious. They also have espresso Frozen drinks which are delicious. The lemonade strawberry drink is also delicious with fresh strawberries sorbet mixed in with lemonade.“
