The ambiance is wonderful! You must go to see! Plus - did I mention the best sweatshirts and apparel ever! A must have! To many words to say how great! Stop by and I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Delicious food, amazing service and a home like atmosphere. The surfing spoon is a place that is a regular stop for me when down here. From the frozen yogurt to the Ice cream sammies. There is nothing you can go wrong with. Just know it is difficult to find parking there from 5-6pm on till about closing. The only thing that could make this better is more parking or table timers. 30 minute table times that the people there use to sit down eat and when it goes off they leave. Allowing for people to come in and park rather than play ring around the Rosie and turn their driveway into a parking lot so no one can leave. read more

Amazingly quick and easy. Theres all this money put on the walls which was strange. But plenty of options for yogurt and toppings. Not bad on price either. 10/10 recommend read more

Surfin' Spoon - Outdoor sign - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

We love this place! I felt happy the moment I walked in. I saw all the different types of ice cream to choose from that is self-serve. You can try all the different flavors and decide what you want to get. They also have a station where you can choose a variety of different toppings. It was so delicious! I just wanted to continue eating more. The staff was extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed. They were patient with us as we tried all the different flavors. We also got to know a little more about the store and had small conversations with the owner. I will definitely have to come back to this place. read more

What an awesome place! We found out about Surfin' Spoon because we ran into the owner at a lunch spot in Waves with her super cute golden retriever puppy. She was very friendly and pup Sandy so cute! We had a nice chat and she mentioned she owned an ice cream shop. We then proceeded to stop by Surfin' Spoon, and we were so glad we did. The place was so cute, with plenty of seating and adorable decor. They had ice cream sandwiches and self-serve froyo/gelato/soft serve. It was delicious! The flavors were unique and not too sweet. My fiancé said "this is the best froyo I've ever had!" Many available fresh toppings, and pricing was quite fair. We're definitely planning on making a trip here every time we are in OBX. read more

Great frozen yogurt right near the water. A fun spot to hang out and night and stop in for a yummy treat. Due to COVID they were having you order at the window and they would fill it for you. Yummy topics and good flavors! read more

Surfin' Spoon - gelato, frozen yogurt - whatever you call it, we love it, and they have it! Over a dozen flavors and toppings - there's something for everyone. Such a well-oiled machine, proper signage, directions, quirky inviting vibe, and helpful staff. Get there early as there will probably be a line and no parking, but you know what they day, if the parking lot is full, it must be good, and that is definitely the case here! read more

Surfin' Spoon - Strawberry and Coconut Swirl - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

We have been here three times during our trip to OBX. The service is top-notch and the space is so cozy. Plenty of space to sit both inside and outside and it is so clean and bright. The fro-yo and toppings are delicious! It is also very affordable for a family! This is our new go to place for dessert when we are in town. read more

It sucked! The people told me that if I used card they have to charge me extra! Never go here again

Pricey, like any similar place seems to be, but they are a true community asset as far as I can tell. I guess we've been going for 7 years, whenever we're in town - at both their original and new, huge location. Staff is always super friendly and the place is so cute and beachy. The variety of seating out front at the new spot is so fun and comfortable. It's all great. I do wish they offered more for vegans, but we've always found good stuff in the few things they do have. We plan to keep returning, as our main OBX treat! read more

Surfin' Spoon - The Classic chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream sandwich - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

This place was FANTASTIC! I am so upset we visited Surfin Spoon on my last night in town. There is simply nothing that comes close to the quality of the yogurt here. I went simple with vanilla and chocolate. I didn't get much chocolate and I regretted that choice for sure. I wanted to fill'er'up again! They have toppings for days too. Once you get past the fruit, there is a great selection of candies and crushed cookies to choose from. Along with the syrupy walnuts and tons of sauces. Soooo good. Once I finished my yogurt, I challenged my niece to a good old fashioned butt kickin in foosball but she didn't want these problems. But another friend did and we played for a while. There were only six balls though which kinda stunk. That's the only reason he won. He didn't want a rematch because he knew I'd win the next time since I was good and warmed up. Next to Foosball, they have some of the claw games that take your money but you can't resist trying. Beside that was an arcade game that offered PacMan and Asteroids I think. A lot of fun and a great way to end FroYo. I am looking forward to coming here again! read more

Close to Jockeys Ridge and was just the thing the kids (and parents) needed after a short hike. It was clean, had great music playing, staff was friendly and most important the froyo was on point. I liked the sea salt caramel pretzel. Highly recommend and I never leave yelp reviews. This was worthy of a post. read more

First time I had their ice cream was back in 2019 and I just knew if I ever came back to OBX again this is one of the places I'd go over and over again! Looove all their flavours & toppings options. read more

This is such good soft serve! So yummy! The cold brew was amazing! And I loved the topping selection. Also the fact they support a great charity is the cherry on top. Just a note to fellow patrons, I please follow the rules they have clearly stated at the beginning of the line. If you can not read, then ask for help, those rules are there for very clear reasons. Also, please do not lick/munch down at your ice cream before putting on your toppings and then mash down your toppings with the communal serving spoon, as I witnessed another patron do. (I did not take any of the toppings that the patron who did this, she also cut in front of us, which would not have happened if she read the rules, so just a rude/careless/thoughtless person in general I guess) read more

We love you, surfin' spoon!!! To adhere to current Covid-19 protocols, they have changed the self serve to making all of the cups for you. You can get up to three toppings and pick your size for different prices. They are doing an EXCELLENT job following social distancing guidelines and even have a "bouncer" outside on busy nights regulating how many people are allowed inside at one time, which is great! Love how they have accommodated to continue serving their delicious product while keeping each other safe. Thanks for the yummy yogurt and awesome merch! Will be coming back next time we visit OBX - and continue to bring friends / tell everyone we know about you! read more

Surfin' Spoon is more than frozen yogurt, it's an experience! Laid- back atmosphere with surf movies, a game room, and classic photos displayed throughout the shop of local surfers and images of the Outer Banks. The owner is a professional surfer. How Epic is that... These great people donate the money in the ceiling to Surfing For Autism. Stop in and check them out when you're down visiting OBX. It's a refreshing treat. Oh and don't forget to leave a little something in the ceiling. read more

We didn't plan on coming here, but as we were walking to another destination the cute decor and beautiful flowers planted sporadically outside caught our eye. From what I've heard it's normally a self-serve place, but because of Covid we had to tell them what we wanted on our ice cream so they could make it. They made our ice cream exactly the way we asked, and served it up with smiles and stories about the area. They have a pretty good variety of toppings and flavors to choose from. When entering I noticed money everywhere! On the walls, on pictures, around the doorframe, and even on the ceiling! I thought maybe they were their tips until one of the employees stated that all the money collected throughout their little business gets donated. The large umbrellas at the picnic tables outside were very much appreciated on the sunny day we went! The whole atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing! read more

We love this place and were so happy to find it open and practicing great social distancing! They have two windows, one for ordering and one for picking up orders, and both have hand sanitizer available. There are clear lines set up to manage multiple customers safely. And the lady taking and filling our order was masked. The frozen yogurt here is always great. We love all the toppings and flavors. My MIL got chocolate covered almond and thoroughly enjoyed it. And I tried an ice cream sandwich- which was amazing. A macaroon (coconut!) cookie with pistachio ice cream. Amazing. We will of course be back. read more

Chic super cool beach vibe with a polished and fresh finish that serves frozen yogurt. I had the macaroon with pistachio ice cream sandwich. Yummy! Not a gelato place. The yogurt is a bit icy as frozen yogurt usually is, meaning thin in texture, but it tastes great. I loved the vibe. The merchandise and decor are awesome. The flavor combo on the ice cream sandwich was unique, interesting, and satisfying. I particularly enjoyed the texture of the macaroon cookie. Chewy and soft despite being frozen. Nice outdoor seating area that's dog friendly, too. Very enjoyable visit. Will definitely return. read more

Very clean, great and helpful staff. Fresh toppings including options for dieters and diabetics,,strawberries, blueberries without sugar,,,roasted nuts (in syrup and lots not in sugary syrup. Toasted coconut without sugar. They are routinely out of 'no added sugar frozen yogurt which is frustrating considering all the healthy toppings they have ( and my husband loves all their unhealthy options, butterfingers, candy). Love this place,,,,please get more no added sugar frozen yogurt. But even with that only shortfall,,,y'all get 5 stars read more

They have well trained and attentive help! India is one of their top employees. Thanks

Decor and atmosphere is 5/5 . Place seems to be an instiutition. Soft serve is probably the worst I've ever had. Just really sweet and artificial tasting . It's still edible though, and there is no such thing as "bad" ice cream, similar to pizza. read more

Cute little place to stop for yogurt. Delicious yogurt and lots of flavors. Staff was very pleasant. Perfect after climbing the dunes.

Spend a late September week in Nags Head--first time there in decades. Most of the frozen yoghurt places where we live have disappeared so decided to try this place for desert after dinner. Very structured "workflow" to go through, which at first, as a new customer, was a little confusing, but friendly help provided when I asked. And the choices of flavors is and the choice of toppings enormous. Though they have three cup sizes, they actually price by weight. And it's self-serve for the yoghurt and the toppings, so you can get exactly what and how much you want--multiple yo flavors and a dozen toppings if you want. Recommended? Suffice it to say we made a second visit before leaving Nags Head! read more
