Cool little spot with a great acai bowl!! Came back later the same day for round ! Staff was super friendly as well!

Açaí bowl-- ocean breeze
Dustin C.

Great potential, just lacked execution. We went in for smoothies and only two of us ordered smoothies. Both were disappointed in how they tasted, pretty bland. As far as the açaí bowls, despite the açaí base being a little runny, they tasted great and worth going back for! The peach açaí bowl was our daughter's favorite! Service was a little slow, yet they had a ton of workers. The inside tables were great to be able to sit up high and chat. For a smaller restaurant, seemed to have ample amount of seats indoors.

Island Smoothie Power Up - Grapes, Pineapple, Apple, Banana, Mangoes, Spinach, Organic Coconut Oil, and Maca Powder ($8.50)

This was a cute local smoothie place nearby that we stopped by multiple times during our trip. The first time we came here, I tried the Blueberry Bliss (almond milk, blueberries, banana, vanilla whey, vanilla yogurt, and almond butter) with added spinach, and it was delicious. After that, I kept trying other smoothies like the Island Smoothie Power Up and The Green Room, but they were all flavorless -- almost as if they had been made with unripe fruit. The consistency was also really icy and not creamy at all, even though there was a banana in it. The service is great though and the menu here will definitely give you some inspiration of smoothies that you could try recreating at home.

fresh refreshing and flavorful smoothies. perfect amount of thickness. generally busy but moves quickly. extensive menu. went back 3 times in one week! green smoothies- not sweet, fruit tasted unripe

This place is a family vacation favorite! We love their acai bowls and smoothies. If you grab a coupon book from Tim Buck II plaza, you can get a free cold brew with a purchase of an acai bowl. The bowls are refreshing with lots of fresh fruits and they can make substitutions. I think the price is a bit high for the bowls given the portion size, but these things are always expensive. It's a good cool summertime treat. There's a few tables of seating inside and a cute bench and neon sign outside to sit and take pictures. My main gripe with the place is their hours - they close at 3pm every day! We tried to go twice after 3pm, not realizing that it was closed already. It would have been a perfect after-beach kind of treat had they been open.

"Hangover smoothie"
Maria T.

Visited this place several times while on vacation and it didn't disappoint. The açaí bowls were delicious and there was plenty of variety. We also tried the smoothies and even asked if they recommended anything for a hangover and the owner instantly gave us a suggestion which did the trick for our friend. I also tired the avocado toast which was fresh and filling! Overall nothing we ever ordered disappointed, staff was friendly and the vibe was welcoming! Highly recommend

Sunset Açaí Bowl
Alisia T.

Absolutely delicious açaí bowls and smoothies. I got the Sunset bowl and my daughter the strawberry banana smoothie. Both were amazing. The bowl was filling and like eating desert for breakfast. Very cute atmosphere and friendly staff

Lots of great healthy options for breakfast, snacks, or lunch. Really good smoothies!!!

Two smoothies, and local celebrity chef Jordan Cohen (well known for his vegetarian specialty dishes).

Located next to Harris Teeter, so you may as well grab a smoothie after your grocery run. Anyways.... Do you want a refreshing, healthy way to start your day amongst a sea of beer and gluttonous beach food? Do you enjoy a colorful açaí bowl? Do you want a fresh, veggie wrap with homemade hummus? If you answered yes to any of these, come to Island Smoothie. We went twice during our recent beach trip and enjoyed the island powerup smoothie, blueberry orange mango, and a unique cinnamon, espresso, and banana smoothie, as well as above mentioned veggie wrap (my vegetarian friend was raving about it for days). The owner grew up coming to Corolla and his family built their place in the 1970s. He lives here full time and was SO genuine with recommendations and nice conversation. LOVE this place!

Brian W.

Great little place for a healthier option lunch. So many places in Corolla that are all about the bread. My smoothie, king of the melons, was good but a bit thick, really good flavor though. This sandwich though! Chipotle chicken club, served on a pita with a chipotle aioli was so good! The girl at the front counter was amazing. Asked a few questions and was more than happy to answer and give advice. Very pleasant experience overall. Only reason it was a five star review was due to the lack of seating options. We kind of feel on top of each other in the place but it's understandable that that can't be helped sometime.

The smoothies I had were terrible. Super watery, barely any fruit in them, and extremely overpriced. I would not go again.

Kind Cup, first and foremost, is an indie coffee spot that has amazing (strong, not wimpy weak) coffee and latte drinks, a (usually well stocked) display case of baked goods (get there early in the busy season else the pickin's will be slim!). This time, I had the butter cake and it was delicious and complimented my flavored latte brilliantly. Staff is always friendly and amazing! Don't be in a huge rush when you go there and be sure to head out back - there's a beautifully manicured and cared for garden area with some seating and tables sprinkled around the grounds to sit, sip and take it all in - giving faraway feel vibes. I posted a bunch of new pics and vids this visit (including of the garden area) so check them out and see what the inside is like as well as a cool vid of the pretty garden area. I would recommend coming here (when it's not too hot lol) to stroll around the entire Historic Corolla Village. You can truly spend a day here - at least a few hours / half day - just park your car ANYWHERE - plenty of parking in the historic village and just start strolling. Everything is walkable and it's so easy to explore the area. Hit the tiny Corolla Village BBQ shack for great pork bbq sandwiches $10 (top off your sando with their coleslaw yum!), check out the famous Corolla lighthouse and stop in to the lighthouse gift shop, visit the maritime museum, stroll by the beautiful yellow painted Whalehead Club mansion, browse the Island Bookstore, visit the Wildlife Education Center / Museum or just be lazy and bring a chair and a book and camp out on a grassy spot overlooking the sound. The Kind Cup though should be your first stop to grab a latte and a pastry! Can't get much better than that! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The baristas were super nice and helpful with what we were looking for to order. There was some delicious baked goods for display but I decided to only get the coffee - I got their lavender honey coffee and it did not disappoint! The great touch were the chickens who came up to us at the table when we were eating outside.

I would have never thought coffee and banana would be such an unbeatable combo but man, what an inventive idea. Banana Dog Cafe operates out of a little mobile food truck in a parking lot. You can't miss the yellow awning (and if you do, just look for the line of people. There's a small bench nearby, but this is really a grab and go type of place. The line moved fairly quickly, and we were able to place our order and wait off to the side. I went with their signature Dixie Girl which was one of the best iced lattes I've had in my life. I'm not exaggerating. It's made with espresso, their signature banana milk, cinnamon and toffee syrup. It's sweet without being too sweet. Speaking of sweet, their menu ranks their drinks in terms of sweetness which really helps guide you in the right direction, especially for first timers. Would highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

They also accept tap to pay, but enact a % charge on all credit transactions. The ambiance inside can be described as rustic and quaint. It's really cute if you're looking to read and chill. It can get crowded as they're usually busy, but this is a great place to come if you're looking to relax. They have both hot and iced drinks with milk alternatives. The iced drinks come in medium (16oz) and large and the hot drinks come in small (12oz), medium and large. The banana cream pie latte was delicious. It tasted like caramel and bananas, paired well with the coffee, and was the perfect amount of sweet. The bumbleberry pie was okay too but the fruit and coffee combination wasn't my favorite. I'd definitely recommend coming here in the morning for coffee and browsing for books if you're in Duck, NC.
