“Store and employees are great. Crumbl needs to step up now. Quit changing everything. It has gotten to the point where you have so many ingredients that the cookies are like everything bagels…..everything but the kitchen sink. Then when a cookie is rated good it never gets back in the queue again. Then you took away the milk chocolate chip cookie and the new chocolate chip cookie has a weird flavor. The original chocolate chip cookies were perfect!“

“The best ice cream on the beach! It’s all homemade using the finest ingredients. The flavor combos the master chef creates will give you a treat that cannot be matched anywhere else. I try to get something different each visit but everything is so delicious it’s hard not to want a scoop of the flavors I already love plus try something new that I know I’ll enjoy just as much! This place is a 10 out of 10!!!“

“My wife and I shared a banana split. It was great! We asked for fresh strawberries and pineapple instead of the strawberry and pineapple sauces and they did it. Fresh fruit makes a huge difference. We loved it -- and it was beautiful too!

The ambiance has a fun surfer vibe and the staff was very helpful! I'm planning on going again and again!“

“I've been coming down to the Outer Banks every November for the past 32 years. Somehow I had never ran across this gem. The coffee and ice cream are perfect. We really enjoyed the malt. I also thoroughly enjoyed their specialty menu for The Fall season! We went several days and enjoyed the view, everyone that we met who worked there was great! We loved the swanky seating, the eccentric seating, and the overall beauty of this place! HIGHLY recommend checking it out!!!“

“We arrived right when they opened at 10 and a line formed quickly which is always a good sign. The kids got one of the freshly made donuts and a milkshake. Both received high reviews from the kids and now they want to go back and try their ice cream and other donut flavors. So far this is the only ice cream spot that we found soft serve 🍦. We haven’t tried it yet but will be back to see how it is. Staff were super friendly and helpful.“

“I pulled into this classic fast-food spot during my road trip because I was absolutely craving something sweet, and it completely hit the spot. The drive-thru line was moving really fast, and the worker who took my order was incredibly upbeat and friendly. I ordered a medium soft-serve ice cream treat blended with crushed chocolate candies, and it was served to me perfectly thick and frozen. The vanilla soft-serve is always so smooth and creamy, and they definitely did not skimp on the toppings mixed inside. It is a super reliable and nostalgic place to stop for a quick, delicious treat whenever you are traveling on a warm afternoon.“
