It's just weird - how could they NOT be locally sourcing some of this? Tomatoes good at peak season, corn not bad. But like all of its peaches and plums bought in bulk?

Lots of toppings to pick from. It's also a gift shop and candy store, so there's saltwater taffy, beach stuff, shirts, and souvenirs. Gets busy in the evenings but the line moves. Good stop after a beach day.

Wow. It may be getting colder outside, but that couldn't stop me from heading to Sweet Spot…read moremultiple times during my weekend in Emerald Isle. The staff is so friendly, with lots of recommendations for their favorite flavors. The store itself is covered head to toe in fun souvenirs and various snacks (fudge to taffy to everything in between). It's easy and comfy and welcoming. The main attraction for me is the ice cream and it is exceptional. My favorite flavor on this trip was the Graham Central Station (graham cracker and honey focused) and it paired well with the pumpkin and key lime pie flavors but tasted great on its own. Excited for my next trip so I can try all the other flavors.

The food at the deli was great, the service less so. Despite placing an order online to avoid…read morewaiting in line, when we arrived at 3:30 (when our food was supposed to be ready, as we'd placed our order around 45 minutes earlier), the food wasn't ready. Our food (four subs) was STILL not ready for another 30 minutes. There was a steady line of in person customers, of course, but they had three workers actively making subs, and all three of them appeared to be prioritizing the in-person line. Only sporadically did they work on our online order, even though they were already behind on our order & those in line had only just arrived. Three other customers who had placed online orders arrived while we were waiting and were still waiting when we left. We finally got our last sub just as they finished serving their last customer in line. Again, this was 30 minutes after we had arrived, 30 minutes after our food was supposed to be ready, and fully an hour and 15 minutes past when our order had been originally placed. This was quite frustrating. I appreciate that the workers appeared to be doing their best, and they did apologize for the wait, which I also appreciate. But I could have gotten my food within 15 minutes if I had just gotten in line with everyone else. I'm not sure what the point is of having online ordering available, if the food isn't going to be ready when promised and the online orders are going to be so deprioritized compared to the in-person orders. Either they need to change their "ready by" times or they need to change their workflow. I will say, the sandwich, which was a vegan turkey situation, was absolutely delicious. I just wish I hadn't had to stand for 30 minutes and watch them make food for other people when our order had already been pending for longer than anyone in line.

I expected it to be super sweet but it was surprisingly espresso forward, by far the best coffee on the isle. Bowls were quite tasty, if expensive for the size. They had a lot more variety than you'd usually find. I'd recommend trying the coconut base or blue wave base instead of açaí. It was quite busy and they do take a bit of time to get made, so keep that in mind if ordering several. Fun interior with lots of fun places to sit and chill.

I grabbed some taffy to give as a gift. You get a card that identifies the taffy when you get back home. I had one and it was not on the card but that's okay. It was still good. 4 oz was $2.76. I wanted one piece of chocolate, I would call it a turtle, but staff said I had to buy at least 1/4 lb. which equals $9.95. Well, that's a bummer. I have never been to a candy shop that I could not buy one piece. They always say so much money for an ounce. Even though I did not agree, I did not lower the score even though I spent more money than I wanted to. Out of the 7 or 8 pieces, I liked the turtle, the orange cream and the raspberry jelly the best.

Checking out was a difficulty as we had to wait for the cashier who seemed in a hurry to return to stocking or whatever other work there was to do which seemed to include talking to the beer delivery guy for an extended period of time. They have gas cannisters available here.
