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! The ice cream is what dreams are made of, nice and soft but hard enough to stay together until finished. It's so hard to find family owned/run businesses anymore and am always excited to try them when I come across them. You pull up and order at the front window then there is seating on the side of the building in the shade to enjoy your sweet treat!It is definitely worth the trip and wait in line as the lines are fairly long in summer.

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.

You can't find a better donut on the island! Really good and made to order. Friendly staff!read more

Let me start by saying that although this is a donut shop, do NOT disregard the ice cream. Because…read moreto me, the ice cream is the star. Not only do they not price the ice cream by scoop (so you get LOTS of ice cream), but they make their waffle cones fresh! You do get to try any flavors you're interested in. They even have some flavors that are vegan (made with oat milk)! We also got a tootie fruity donut that was good, and tasted like cake. But I still believe that the ice cream should be given their due! 8/10 - if you love sweets, you will love this place!

Scoops is hands-down the BEST ice cream I have ever had anywhere. Period. We went every single night of our trip and got a flight and just four of us destroyed it together.

First off, incredible ice cream! It's so creamy and flavorful. I got butter pecan which was loaded…read morewith pecans and perfectly buttery, a little salty to balance the sweetness. Top tier ice cream for sure! Oh and the portion sizes are giant! I got a regular cone and it felt like well over half a pint of ice cream. The store is itself is super cute, loved all the cow paintings. The girls at the counter immediately greeted us and were cheerful and knowledgeable about the flavors. There's a short educational video about the farm that plays on a loop on the tv, which was really cool. In the retail space, they have lots of fresh dairy from the farm including butter, buttermilk, heavy cream, half & half, milk, pints of ice cream, and probably more that I'm forgetting. Can't wait to go back the next time I'm in the area!
