Turtle sundae
Christine L.

The food and staff were great! Very friendly and helpful to figure out what you're looking for. They're most known for their acai bowls. They have an option where you can customize things or more options on their online menu. Everything was in good portion and fresh. They take the time to carefully make the bowl. They have Hershey ice cream and different sundaes available. Again, good portions. They have ample seating inside with some of their own merch and lots of really cool local art.

Açaí bowls are great! I got the Avalon and it was definitely the "Perfect Bowl Blend." The small was the perfect size for a dessert and included granola, banana, strawberries, blueberries, honey, and coconut. They even offer a unsweet açaí or pitaya base. Coffee crunch shake was ok. It was more chocolate than coffee. Root beer float: 3 scoops of ice cream and a can of Mug. My son loved it! The employees were patient and friendly. The sitting areas were clean and spacious. There is plenty of parking, too!

Loggerhead with strawberries added

Our first breakfast in OBX was at "The Spot" the açaí bowls are amazingly good. My daughter got a waffle for breakfast and loved it. There are three sizes. My wife got the small I got the regular and there is a bigger size too. The toppings on both of ours looked the same, but mine had more açaí base. We all had a great breakfast in a clean and bright restaurant. We were first to be served at 9am on Sunday. The place quickly filled up with people. It is a hot spot, that could take 20 minutes for your order (per the restaurant) during busy times. After my wife, daughter and I all finished, we ordered another bowl to go to bring back to our son who chose sleep over being first in line .... Note - they also have free wifi - I didn't see the password posted anywhere, but I asked the person taking orders and she gave it to me. Great place to get good food at the beach!

Açaí bowls
Allen A.

Great bowls of açaí. I would come back The place was packed too. The young lady working the register redefined happy. Holy cow. Everyone was in a better mood just talking to this person. Wow. What do they put in the water there. Ha.

Waffle and reef bowl
Kori M.

This place is beautiful inside, but I have to say that the attitude of the girl who was working there totally ruined the experience. We walked in smiling and saying hello, she was slumped over the register and barely mumbled a hello. We had my little dog with us and were holding him so we could order some food to eat outside. She made a comment that we could only have him if we went outside. We were aware of that, we know that pets aren't allowed in restaurants, but it was also in the low 80s outside so I had to bring him in while I ordered (mind you, all of the other 10+ restaurants we ate at on our trip to the OBX welcomed us inside with our dog since he's small and we held him). Anyway, I ordered an acai bowl and a waffle and the cashier just stared at me as I completed the transaction. Feeling somewhat threatened, I made sure to add a tip. Literally the second I added the tip, she perked up and smiled at me. LMAO. I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had to pay extra for decent service. MY bad. We promptly went outside to eat on the little deck. The acai bowl and waffle were both delicious and I would love to return with someone different working the counter.

Reef açaí bowl
Riley M.

Delicious açaí bowls and fantastic staff. The food was pretty pricey, but it was honestly worth it. I got the reef bowl, which had a wonderful selection of fresh fruit and the inside had a really cute surf theme. I will be back next time I am in Kitty Hawk

Interior, order counter
Bob V.

This place is a real highlight of any trip to OBX, and shouldn't be missed. - Haven't tried anything but the açaí bowls - I mean, why would you, lol? They are fantastic. Lots of choices for your five free add-ons mean your bowl can be delicious in tons of different ways. - Fun interior, fun merch, and fun, happy employees ensure a great experience. - Can get crazy busy - I like going late-morning or around lunchtime, when wait times are minimal.

The Loggerhead with Pitiya & two Avalon bowls
Lindsay C.

This was probably the BEST pitaya bowl I have ever had. Customization was easy to fit everyone's tastes. Service was quick & friendly. We didn't stay to eat at The Spot because we took our bowls to the beach but we went right when it opened & parking was easy & there was space inside if we wanted to stay.

Avalon bowl with Nutella
Taylor L.

I ordered the Avalon bowl with Nutella instead of honey. It was delicious. A great place to grab açaí bowls on the island. The ambiance was ok. A good place to grab some food after the beach or pool but nothing too fancy. Everyone working there was nice and our bowls came out fast. I would go back here!

Açaí bowl with banana, honey, almonds, and granola
Madeline P.

My açaí bowl was amazing! Friendly staff and fast service too. I will definitely be coming back to try other stuff!

Stopped here for some açaí bowls, they were great! Prices were also pretty fair (considering I sometimes have to pay $15 for a bowl in the DC area) So refreshing and delicious. Service was quick, staff friendly, and the place was cute/clean. Would come here again!

See all

Updating my review to further express how great their açaí bowls are. This time I ordered online…read morefor pick up. The online ordering system isn't great (see below), however, I eventually found what I was looking for and called to adjust the pick up time. Since the large wasn't available, I chose regular for one bowl and mega for the other. I also paid for extra granola for both. Although the toppings look skimpy, we were pleasantly surprised to find the extra granola at the bottom of the regular bowl. Then the mega bowl was basically a double decker acai bowl. Acai on the bottom with selected toppings then more acai resting under another layer of the selected toppings. It's definitely worth it to get the mega bowl. They also make good smoothies and use compostable materials. Our orders have been accurate and filling. Plus the employees are friendly. Issues with the online ordering: -I couldn't adjust the pick-up time. Even though they were open for another 5 hours, the only option for pick up was next day at 9:30 am. I called after placing the order and they said they could make the order right away. -large perfect bowl is not an option (all other sizes were available) -special bowl options are confusing. No option for granola but there is an option for extra granola. No description for what it contains yet you can remove items. -many of the items do not have descriptions, luckily I had been here before so I knew what the perfect bowl entailed

Definitely recommend this spot. Great place to bring some friends and enjoy refreshing treats. The…read moreaçaí bowls are very good, reasonably priced, and worth your time. Great balance of all the ingredients and very customizable! The service is very attentive and very quick. Fun beach vibes on the inside too!
