They did not disappoint. Scoops has a wide selection of chocolate choices including moose tracks, Eskimo kisses, bear claw, trashcan and my favorite, pot hole, plus a few others. Like I wrote earlier, chocolate is not the only flavor, they have something for everyone. You won't go wrong with a stop at Scoops Ice Cream.

I got a scoop of salted caramel and a scoop of Cookie Monster in a waffle bowl. It wasn't until later that I realized it could have been made into a sundae for the amount I paid but the young lady didn't offer. Oh well. The scoops were very generous and both of my flavors were awesome! Cookie Monster was definitely the favorite and what I would recommend.

First thing you should know is that this is not Baskin-Robbins and you should not expect 33 flavors. Instead, expect a dozen or so house-made and curated flavors. Of course there are your standard flavors like Vanilla Bean and Chocolate. But then you have flavors like Lavender Lemon and Salted Caramel Oreo. Prices are reasonable for island pricing ($5for a single scoop). I went with a single scoop of MCC (mint chocolate chip) on a CHOCOLATE waffle cone. The ice cream was smooth with a healthy amount of chocolate chips and the chocolate cone paired nicely. In addition to the indoor seating, there is also ohtdoor seating that is shared by Larry's Deli-Q. I'm really just deducting a star for not having a menu board where the daily flavors are currently posted. Instead, you have to either lurk in between the tables or you wait until you get to the counter (no pressure). This is a solid spot for ice cream and I would drive down again the next time I'm in town.

Fresh great quality ingredients great service I think we tried 8 flavors before picking the one and the ambience is simple beach and spacious lots of tables and stray inside and out. I recommend getting your ice cream fix here during your beach vacation/getaway or if you live in Wilmington and haven't tried it yet .

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.

We visited this sweet homemade ice cream institution while seeing the beach this summer and were…read moreamazed. The staff is so friendly and nice, very helpful with anything needed!

They don't serve tea on Sundays, but they did make an exception because my friend was in from out of town and I don't know, they were just amazingly nice so I ate there on Saturday and on Sunday the food was absolutely amazing. The drinks were top-notch the service was fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect for a girls day or a romantic date at night definitely a place to check out.

This was my first visit to this bakery after going to a Saturday morning event by the movie…read moretheater. I was interested in seeing the bakery after reading other reviews. This review, however, is just for the bakery, as we did not dine in. The bakery case was full of beautiful pastries and French goodies that I just did not know what to get. We settled on an Apple turnover, chocolate croissant, and 3 small raspberry filled donuts. The clerk boxed up our items and rang us up, but the change drawer was a little sparse, so she had difficulty making change for us. They had just opened, but the drawer was not full for the day. Just odd, but not that much of an issue. There are no photos here of the cases because of the signs posted inside not allowing photos or videos to be taken. You have to come in to get a look yourself, I guess, but you won't be disappointed. I'd like to try lunch or dinner, or maybe the high tea, because the menu has some wonderful items listed. The pastries were delicious and buttery, and not sweet. Just a great mouth feel when you take a bite. I will definitely be back for something else.
