To get straight to the point, the donuts are dense and not worth the wait/price. The worker was manning the cashier and putting donuts in boxes although she did have gloves, the gloves didn't seem to be getting changed. Not sure if some people down south have taste but the line to this place was long. There were flies everywhere. Although the staff were nice, they are understaffed and not clean. This place is another beach vacation money grab to travelers. Update: Found a baked in hair in one of the glazed donuts. Never Again DO NOT waste your $.

The Chill Spot is the Hot Spot!…read more Duck has many an ice cream shop but this one stands out for great flavors and an ultra-cool staff. I had Peach one day and Trash Can the next. Both wonderful, satisfying, and refreshing. If you can't pick a flavor or want to be surprised, they will even read your vibe and create a personalized treat. Don't be discouraged if the line is long, the staff works diligently with a smile and you'll leave with a smile. I don't know how they do it with so many people coming and going, but they keep the shop clean. Highly recommended if you're in the Outer Banks!

Yelp should probably combine this listing with Corolla Cupcakes since they're in the same space,…read morebut whatever. I could do it, but I'm too lazy. Sweet Cups is the froyo portion of the store, and it was deeeee-licious. It's the kind you self-serve out of a machine and pay by the ounce, so you definitely get more than you thought you were filling. The salted caramel and mint cookie were both really good. They also have a topping station that's also self-serve (they're so sneaky), with whole pieces of candy for some of them! They also have healthier toppings like fruit. There are a couple of tables inside, and they have a really nice bathroom.

We went with 4 kids and they were excited to get ice cream, homemade at that, only to be…read moredisappointed in the service and ice cream selection. We walked in and were not greeted at all nor were the employees friendly, more annoyed to serve. The kids ordered ice cream and as expected, sprinkles only to have one of the employees bring out the sprinkles and pour them on the ice cream over the ice cream bins getting about 5 sprinkles on the cone. The ice cream did not taste home made. The layout was odd as well with toy claw machines on the opposite wall of the ice cream and limited seating inside. Will definitely not be back.

They offer a variety of donut, ice cream, and milkshake flavors. You can get a small stick (2 donuts - 1 flavor) or large stick (4 donuts - 2 flavors). The ambiance inside is very casual, it feels like a truck stop. We got the funnel cake small stick. The donuts came out hot and quick. They were fluffy, warm, and not too oily. They were also reasonably priced. Definitely bring cash as there's a credit card up charge. I'd recommend coming here if you're looking for a cutesy alternative to Duck donuts.

The restaurant itself is a nice, open space, although the decor is a little odd with a lot of fake flowers everywhere. We started with the calamari and crab dip. The crab dip was easily the best thing we had. Creamy, flavorful and served with fried pita chips that were hot, crispy and really good. The calamari was just okay. It tasted a little like it may have been frozen rather than freshly prepared. I had the cheeseburger, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The fries were actually pretty good and nicely crisp. The biggest miss for me was the spicy margarita. The spice came from pickled jalapeños, which gave the whole drink a strange pickled flavor instead of that fresh jalapeño heat I was expecting. I ended up not drinking it. Overall, not a bad experience, especially considering it was off-season and they were working with a very small staff. The crab dip was definitely the standout.

I came for the cupcakes, but I ended up having a full-blown love affair with their strawberry scoop. Best strawberry ice cream to ever grace my taste buds. Flavor was flavoring. The cupcakes?
