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.

First time here. It is a very colorful shop. I saw it advertised on Facebook and I wanted to see…read moreit. The wall paper and the colorful chandeliers really make the place pop. 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.
