When you're on Ocracoke Island, there's no better way to wrap up your evening than with a visit to…read morethe Ocracoke Fudge and Ice Cream Shop! This charming spot is one of the many dessert gems on the island, and it's hands-down one of my favorites. The shop has a welcoming vibe, and it's always buzzing with excitement. The long line that snakes across the porch is proof of its popularity, but don't let that deter you--the staff here are pros at keeping things moving. They're always friendly, even when the line is packed, and they work tirelessly to make sure everyone gets their sweet fix as quickly as possible. What We Ordered: * Chocolate/Vanilla Soft Serve Swirl on a Cone * Chocolate Malt Shake with Oreos * Chocolate Nor'Easter (their take on a Blizzard, with Oreos and pecans) * Dark Chocolate Nor'Easter (loaded with chocolate sprinkles and chocolate chips) The star of the show is their ice cream which is so creamy, rich, and consistently delicious. The soft serve cone was a classic, perfectly swirled and smooth. The Chocolate Malt Shake was thick, indulgent, and packed with the perfect amount of Oreo crunch. The Nor'Easters stole the show for me. I love how you get to customize your toppings, and the way they swirl everything together ensures every bite is packed with flavor. The Chocolate Nor'Easter was a dreamy combination of Oreos and pecans, while the Dark Chocolate version was a chocoholic's paradise, with layers of chocolate sprinkles and chips for extra texture. Ocracoke Fudge and Ice Cream Shop has truly mastered the art of dessert. Whether you're stopping by for a quick cone or diving into one of their indulgent creations, you're guaranteed to leave happy. The atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistently. Highly recommend coming here :)

It was $20/person for the day, which wasn't a bad deal. Bikes were in good condition and I liked how some included baskets. The girls working were not friendly and had a terrible attitude for some reason. We also all ordered a smoothie to go. $8 for a smoothie that tasted like they did not use fresh fruits. It was bad and no one enjoyed their smoothies. We later stopped at a different smoothie establishment that only charges $6.50 and uses fresh fruits right in front of you! Maybe the ice cream is where it's at, but I would not recommend smoothies. I would recommend coming here to rent bikes.

This is ALWAYS our first stop on the island as soon as we get off the ferry. The food is homemade, and the drinks are handcrafted while you wait. The ambiance is everything you'd want on an island: luscious jasmine hanging all over the front door, creaking floorboards under your feet, a homey inside feel, a great outside patio (with more jasmine!) with lots of seating and sunshine. They sell merch as well, so be sure to pick up a shirt or mug.

On top of that, they were warm to the touch. Second large red flag. Would NOT recommend the oysters at this place for these two facts alone. Luckily, neither of us got sick from it (that we know of) afterwards. But we were both immediately repulsed by these two facts. The rest of the food and drinks: the margarita was actually really good! We got a tuna sandwich and mahi tacos and they were both very good! If it hadn't been for the bad oysters, we would have given this place a 5.
