    Island Snowball located at MP 15.5 on the north end of the Nags Head Mall
    Courtney K.

    Bottom Line: Snowballs and various other cold desserts served by friendly staff. At Island Snowball snowballs are just the tip of the ice. This little shop located in the Nags Head Mall at MP 14.5 also offers ice cream, iced coffees, smoothies, brownie sundaes, banana splits and other cold sweet treats. As far as their signature item they have many flavors of snowballs and a long list of flavor combinations. Unless I study the menu before visiting I tend to default to a pina colada snowball topped with marshmallow. I have tried anything here other than the snowballs. There is some seating out front which is convenient. Service is always friendly.

    6/24/20 a tasty treat, but next time I will try an iced treat with a little blueberry

    Tasty is or tasty does? The treat I had was delicious. I love cookies and cream icecream along with Heath bar crunch and butterscotch. A treat I can't have to often. Our server Maud Francesca Spellbody. Did an excellent job. She was very patient and professional. She will make a wonderful manager one day.

    Great little shop in a less than great strip. They had so many flavors and combos to choose from - you could get snow cones, ice cream, or combine the two! There were also 6 specialties like Brownie, Float, Cookie, and Banana Split things. It was ground ice, not shaved, but the people were kind and the portions large. I got a stuffed Pokémon (strawberry & wedding cake over cookie dough ice cream) and I got him a Tiger's Blood over cookies n cream ice cream. I also got color-change reusable cups for next time because I knew we'd be back. Sitting out on their picnic tables we just had a view of the parking lots and traffic. It was very convenient to ride our bikes too though.

    My son said to write a five star review, which I'm happy to do. The service was super friendly, and tons of fun flavors to choose from. I got the Grave Digger (grape and lemon lime), he got a Rainbow to go with his face mask. Super delicious, got some painful brain freezes.

    They have ice cream but the worker has no idea what kind of ice cream they have. I believe it is Hershey's because of Moose Tracks. My kids liked their Snoballs and ice cream but the wife and I would pass. I know she was young but she just seemed clueless. We started our order and I had to give her the heads up to start getting the kids choice while I decided what to order. She acted like she didnt want to serve us. They do have a lot of choices and for $2.25, it is a good deal for the kids. Service was a big downer.

    Highly recommend this place. It is very clean & has a ton of different options for flavors & toppings. I brought my 4 year old here who really enjoyed the different character flavors, she got Barbie. The prices are also very affordable & worth the stop! My flavor was cotton candy with marshmallow. I was too impatient to wait to eat it :)

    They have ice cream and snowballs.

    Ice cream and snow was awesome, way better then the other ice cream places in the area. The girl was very friendly. Would go back.

    The flavor list wasn't that long and it wasn't very creamy. The ice cream scoop was kind of sugary watery.

    Updating my review to further express how great their açaí bowls are. This time I ordered online…read morefor pick up. The online ordering system isn't great (see below), however, I eventually found what I was looking for and called to adjust the pick up time. Since the large wasn't available, I chose regular for one bowl and mega for the other. I also paid for extra granola for both. Although the toppings look skimpy, we were pleasantly surprised to find the extra granola at the bottom of the regular bowl. Then the mega bowl was basically a double decker acai bowl. Acai on the bottom with selected toppings then more acai resting under another layer of the selected toppings. It's definitely worth it to get the mega bowl. They also make good smoothies and use compostable materials. Our orders have been accurate and filling. Plus the employees are friendly. Issues with the online ordering: -I couldn't adjust the pick-up time. Even though they were open for another 5 hours, the only option for pick up was next day at 9:30 am. I called after placing the order and they said they could make the order right away. -large perfect bowl is not an option (all other sizes were available) -special bowl options are confusing. No option for granola but there is an option for extra granola. No description for what it contains yet you can remove items. -many of the items do not have descriptions, luckily I had been here before so I knew what the perfect bowl entailed

    Definitely recommend this spot. Great place to bring some friends and enjoy refreshing treats. The…read moreaçaí bowls are very good, reasonably priced, and worth your time. Great balance of all the ingredients and very customizable! The service is very attentive and very quick. Fun beach vibes on the inside too!
