The Chill Spot is the Hot Spot! 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! read more

Average ice cream with portions that left something to be desired. Staff were nice but wanted to argue with my wife when they made the hurricane wrong. Luckily someone else noticed and fixed it. Wanted more from it in the end. read more

We found The Chill Spot while staying in Corolla and looking for ice cream after dinner. When you walk in, it smells like waffle cones and heaven! There was a line, but it moved quickly. Service was friendly and fast. Most importantly, the ice cream was delicious! It reminded me of the beach ice cream shops I grew up going to as a kid. Perfect place to get dessert after a beach day! read more

Super good ice cream spot with exceptional sundaes. We ordered high tide peanut butter ride (? I think?) it was awesome. The highlight was a peanut butter sauce. They have a healthy number of ice cream flavors and ton of toppings options to choose from. I was very tempted to get the ice cream taco, next time! read more

The Chill Spot - Nachos - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

They have numerous good ice cream flavors with creative combinations of sundae options. We went with the high tide which is a peanut butter lovers dream. It was peanut butter ice cream with PB sauce, chocolate sauce, and PB cups topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Additionally, we got the ice cream nachos. These included cookies and cream ice cream and oreo pieces with "nachos" of waffle cones read more

The Chill Spot - High tide and Ice cream nachos - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

I'll give this place a 2 star review because it hurts to give them what I really think they deserve... I've posted 20 photos (incl menu sign boards & prices) that I took the other night when the 2 of us went in search of ice cream in Corolla that would be open on the later side (open till 10PM). All we wanted was just straight up ice cream - no sundae, no banana split, no milkshake, no samwich, no taco - just plain ol' ice cream in a cup to cap off our dinner. We've never gone out for ice cream when we're vacationing here but this time we decided to venture out. We got there and the place was PACKED. Mostly kids and teenagers - likely who walked over from Currituck Club. I get it - day or night, it's an easy and safe walk for teens who are staying in the Currituck Club gated community who want to go out and ditch their parents for an ice cream hang out. But that's really all this place has going for it imo: its location. As far as I can tell, there's nothing special about the ice cream. It's not homemade, looks like it's been sitting in the tubs for days on end AND the portion sizes are soooooo woefully small FOR THE PRICE! (I calculated from a menu/price pic from just 1 year ago that scoop prices increased almost 15%! That's obscene for the quality of ice cream this place serves!) We got the kid's cup size - yes I know, it's a kid's cup. But no excuse - it was a TEENY TINY serving. And we paid $4.50 FOR EACH ONE. It was a JOKE. The kid's cup scoop looked soooo sad and lonely in its cup. I yelled into the cup and it echo'ed back.... You get it. (See my pic.) For the adults who are spend-conscious - my recommendation is to walk or drive over to the Harris Teeter steps away and buy a couple, 2 or 3 gallons of ice cream and fixin's, syrups and toppings AND SPEND THE SAME AMOUNT AS A COUPLE SCOOPS OF ICE CREAM FROM HERE and you'll have WAYYYYY better tasting, higher quality ice cream than this place. Sad to say but true. As another reviewer aptly put it: if you have ample vacay money to blow, you'll blow a good chunk of it here for sure. Totally not worth the wait - we were in a line outside the front door. Service is slow as molasses - so don't be in a hurry. If it was real honest to goodness housemade ice cream, it STILL would have been a rip off for the portion size for what we paid. Next time will try Big Buck's Homemade Ice Cream up the street (open even later till 1030PM)...or even DQ soft serve (in the Food Lion shopping center / Monteray Plaza open till 10PM) would have been better (and cheaper) than this place. #facepalm read more

This is the place to go! Great atmosphere and even better service. The ice cream was to die for. You won't be disappointed with the ice cream nachos!! read more

Good ice cream selection! Reasonable prices, per scoop. The service from the employees was top notch, very friendly and liked to strike up a conversation. Kinda small store, or could have been laid out differently, to prevent such a long line having to form outside. There are a few tables inside, and some picnic tables outside too. read more

After a horse tour, we "needed" ice cream. We went to The Chill Spot. It had a very long line - we took that as "it must be good." It was good and the long line moved quickly. There were many fun flavors. My family all agreed that it was great and creamy - as ice cream should be! We'll go again if we are in the neighborhood! read more

Cute shop and friendly staff. I liked the texture and richness of this ice cream but the flavors were a bit artificial tasting. I tried the peach ice cream which had a sharp astringent aftertaste. The black raspberry chocolate was more balanced as a flavor but melted quickly and was not as stable. read more

The Chill Spot - Lemon bar shake and Ice cream nachos! Awesome! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

This is a cute establishment with super yummy ice cream but we couldn't help but be completely icked by the employees scooping with no gloves. It is clear that this isn't a requirement as there's no gloves anywhere. Completely unsanitary and super gross! Not to mention that causes a huge concern for people with allergies! The Cookie Monster was also great but had sooo much blue dye. read more

The Chill Spot - Small Cookie dough with Reese's and a medium pirate crusher and birthday cake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

This is such a cute little ice cream spot with sooo many more options than just a scoop of ice cream. They had plentiful flavor options and some pretty cool dishes, like ice cream tacos or ice cream cookie sammies. The employees that were in there when we went in were very kind and chatty which just made the experience even better. Their stickers and tshirts are pretty cool and a nice option for anyone who wants something obx related but doesn't want a touristy tshirt. The inside of the shop is colorful and fun with lots of art work. My only complaint is that we didn't discover this place until the end of our vacation. read more

This place is phenomenal. The food is amazing, a variety of choices to eat, every month or so I'm highly sure they change options but High Tide Peanut Butter Ride was my favorite. The service is awesome. The employees ask how you days going and talk small. The room is a bit small but it is connected to the Super Wings. read more

Found this spot years ago. Come here every time we come to OBX - sometimes twice. Great ice cream and decent prices read more

This is the BEST ice cream spot!! The workers are so friendly and even stayed open a little later so our small group could get ice cream. Absolutely delicious and would come back again! read more

Local community Ice Cream spot. Have a sign asking for 5 Star reviews, but honestly can't do that. Ice cream was good, portions were okay. The service however was fast and very good. As a local spot, if I lived here - I would frequent often. Love my ice cream. read more

Yummy ice cream! We had chocolate peanut butter, coffee, and cookie dough. The chocolate peanut butter and coffee were above average, but the cookie dough was bland. It's worth a return trip to try the other flavors. read more

Great service! And great ice cream Have been here for three times in two days in my first stay in outer banks. Would recommend to everyone read more

If I could 6 stars, I would. The staff was friendly, prompt, and they are allergy friendly. We have a child with a nut allergy, which often excludes us from restaurants and desserts. Chill spot has a dedicated freezer that has nut free ice cream and the staff ensure no cross-contamination through cleaning/using separate ice cream scoopers. If there was a flavor in the non-nut free area that was nut free (but could have been cross-contaminated) through use of the same scooper, they offered to open a new container if we wanted. Over the top good. read more

Great ice cream and great staff! We stayed in Corolla for family vaca and came here multiple nights because it was so good. The staff are so friendly and patient (despite how busy it can get!), all kids spending the summer on the island. Try the double brownie ice cream, some of the best I've had! read more

Great service and great ice cream. Definitely worth the drive from Duck and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

The Chill Spot is our family's favorite ice cream shop in Corolla. When we arrived there was a bit of a line out the door but it moved incredibly fast. Once inside there is an area to purchase branded apparel and candy. We had ours eyes laser focused on the ice cream. Everyone in line was ordering the "garbage can" which had some fudge and brownie mixed in. It was absolutely delicious. They do have some indoor table available as well as a couple of park benches on the outer edge of the parking lot. If the kiddos make a mess there is a bathroom to rinse of their hands. Parking was a breeze as they have a large shared lot. It's a must try. read more

Me and my partner stopped in after a long day on the beach. Great ice cream. Chill staff. We will return.

The Chill Spot has lots of tasty ice cream flavors and a few sundae options too. I had a sea turtle sundae with caramel cheesecake ice cream and my husband had a high tide peanut butter sundae. They were relatively small for the $8 price and though they were yummy enough to finish, we probably wouldn't get them again. If you're hungry for ice cream and have vacation money to blow then it's worth stopping by to have a taste. The vibe was really sweet. They had children's drawings and places for kids to draw ice cream cones. So if you have kids it's a great place to keep them occupied and having a good time while you have ice cream. Also they had cute ice cream jokes on the walls. Parking and seating were crowded but manageable. read more

Great Ice Cream, REAL CHOCO TACOS The ice cream here is great, but not spectacular. Some people in these reviews really need to expand their palate! But seriously, the ice cream here is very good, and The Chill Spot is incredibly popular. If it's past dinner time, prepare to wait in a long line; it's unavoidable. What really sells this place for me are their creations. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get to try a genuine, homemade choco taco. Wowzers, did I enjoy it! Come here for the creative sundaes alone. Overall, the ice cream isn't homemade or anything, but the creative menu and friendly staff environment make this place worthy of multiple visits on your vacation. read more

We stopped here because we wanted a more local feel rather than the DQ that was right by our dinner spot. The was a relatively short line when we arrived. By the time we walked out another 20 people had arrived. Good timing for us. They had a cute outdoor area with a few picnic tables to enjoy our yummy ice cream! We recommend! read more

The Chill Spot - a cup of ice cream with a cherry on top - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

Go-to ice cream place while vacationing in Corolla. Great flavors, super friendly staff (always asking how our day was, what we enjoyed so far. So kind). Ample seating inside and out and plenty of parking although we opted to walk most nights. Would not recommend paying the up charge for the waffle cones as they are a bit odd shaped (too wide) and not sealed well so we had a lot of leaks. Regular sugar cones were perfect. Love that they have a kid size (always appreciate places that do this) as well. Cute merch and even candy for sale inside. read more

Yum! Tasty treat on a hot day. Standard flavors, fun flavors like brownie s'more, trash can (All the best stuff), smells wonderful inside, like fresh waffle cones. Friendly and efficient service, cool merch. read more

Forgot to write a review on this place from years back... The ice cream was one of the, if not the best in Corolla/Duck area. Nice location that's easy to park at. Customer service was great when we went. Give it a shot! We may go back this week while visiting Corolla. read more

If you are looking for service with a smile, and great ice cream- this is the place to go. My family and I used to love going to Big Bucks, but unfortunately customer service wasn't great.
