What a great place for a family dessert stop! Disney themed and a movie playing both inside and outside. More choices that you can even think of, ice cream, shakes, shaved ice, Italian ice, coffee, iced coffee, lattes....great staff too. read more

The line was looooong but they did a nice job getting us through quick. Bottom of the ramp to the window took about 25 minutes. Plenty of flavor options. The pickup process was a little sloppy but they were busy and it was understandable. read more

This is our second year trying to support this local business. Unfortunately, both last year and today, it was closed even though posted business hours are 3pm - 9pm. We won't be going back. read more

An a-ok mom and pop ice cream shoppe. There's about 35-40 flavors of Hershey's ice cream - 2 large scoops for $4 - There's also about 10 flavors of Italian Ice and 15 flavors of shaved ice. Nothing appears to be made on site but the service is fine and the prices are reasonable. There's also some limited coffee and tea options as well. It's air conditioned inside with seating for about 20-30 people and a mini wooden train set to distract your kids. read more

A hot day of sightseeing screamed for ice cream, and this pink house answered. There two people working, so we had to wait a little bit. They were friendly, so we didn't mind. Besides, we already screamed for ice cream. They had a good variety of flavors, from cotton candy to Superman. Yes, the ice cream man of steel. Thank goodness for Lactaid, because that peanut butter caramel cookie dough was worth chewing those chalky enzymes. I also had the bonus of practicing my Russian with one of the workers. How awesome was that? Korosho! read more

Can't believe this was my first trip here in all the time we spend in OBX. Great selection of Hershey's ice cream. The staff was very friendly. I had the traditional vanilla with hot fudge and the Hubs had chocolate peanut butter - all to go. They included a carrying tray, napkins and spoon. Overall nice experience. read more

Had a delicious cookie sundae. The ladies working in the store were very friendly and worked quickly. Definitely will be going back.

Another nice mom and pop ice cream shop. Hershey ice cream, shakes, sundaes, etc. I had a waffle cone and was suprised to see a fresh made, warm cone! Totally legit! read more

Pretty great ice cream. Small place in a big house. But the ice cream flavors were unique and tasty. They had a play doh flavor, I really regret not trying that just to see what it tasted like. But overall a really good ice cream place. They also did shakes, sundaes, etc. There was one poor girl doing it all when we got there so it took a bit of time. But, very good nonetheless. read more

Caveat: I did not order any food here but was with the rest of the family when they did. The ice cream was very good. The service was a bit slow. It was not a particularly busy time and it took quite a while to get the orders filed. Also, of the three orders two of them were not correct. But, there would not be a reason not to come back here. Also, the owner must be a big fan of Disney movies given the décor inside. read more

Unfortunately, I tried to come to this location on two separate occasions when it was posted that they were open. However, both times it was in fact closed. Incredibly disappointed. read more

Business hours claimed they were open till 9 PM (10PM on google), went two separate days, one day at 8 PM, yet no signs of it ever being open. Incredibly disappointed and annoyed an the blatantly wrong hours listed. Would give 0 stars if I could. read more

The service is wonderful and I love that we could walk there. If you love hand dipped this is your place. Fun place to sit outside and relax too. read more

Nice basic ice cream place. Not out of this world or anything, but a good place for the end of the day. Shaved ice is pretty good.

Ice cream was good. Cone tasted like stale cardboard. Service was stale like the cone. Atmosphere was cute with bright colored walls. Floors were littered with food and garbage pieces. Prob won't stop again. read more

Great selection of flavors, freshly made waffle cones, friendly service! We will stopping again next time we are in town!

They have a good variety of ice cream, shakes, and coffee drinks. The staff is friendly. They do get busy but accommodate customers as fast as possible. They stay open late which is great. Try the Candy Bar Overload ice cream! read more

Great ice cream and super fast service! We each had a scoop of ice cream and enjoyed every bit of it!

Great sundaes! Banana split, brownie sundae so good! Also had Pina colada ice and a milkshake!

Ice cream pretty good... their waffle cones however varied in quality. From over baked to under baked and they were all so thin that none of them held up and created ice cream disasters for us. They just need to figure out to make thicker and sturdier home made versions and the experience would ve golden. read more

Awesome ice cream and lots of flavors! Staff is friendly, and when we asked for a new scooper since my nephew has a peanut allergy, not only did they provide a clean scoop but also opened a new container of ice cream as to not contaminate! They have bench seating outside which is a convenient and clean way for the kids to enjoy the ice cream! Reasonable prices compared to Dairy Queen. read more

This is the pinnacle of overpriced tourist food. Why pay $5 for an Eastern European who barely speaks English and will screw up your order to scoop Hershey's ice cream out of a tub onto a prepackaged cone? Just drive down to Food Lion and buy a whole half gallon of ice cream and the cones for the same price. read more

While eating icecream, I watched an employee suck his thumb and then get up to serve customers. What else do I need to say!

Great staff, delicious ice cream and Italian ice, fun environment with Disney songs playing and beautiful Disney paintings inside.

Our family vacations just would not be complete without going here. This place is more than just a place to eat ice cream, it's a community center. We look forward to watching our children grow, and come to expect to go to this special movie showing desert sharing place. They've even got something for those that are lactose intolerant (Yummy Italian ice). I can't really imagine a trip to Avon without it. read more

We stopped here a couple of times while we were staying in Avon. A very family friendly ice cream shop. They have late hours which is great when you have a late night craving for some ice cream. They have a ton of differently flavors and sundae options. The last night we were there they will showing Frozen on a screen outside. They lose 1 star for seating, it is pretty limited and many people just hung out standing in the parking lot. read more

Was ready to be so pumped for my experience here but later turned out to be be my worst night on vacation!!! Let's start off with my family and I just finished mini golfing about 30 minutes away. We passed many ice cream shops on the way here, but we heard the shop of Cups and Cones and I really wanted to try this. When we got there parking was weird and and took a few minutes to find a spot. But I guess if you really can't get more space you have to deal with what you got. I can understand that. Now it wasn't that packed or busy when I got there a few minutes before 8pm!! Only waited about 5 minutes to place my order. Just enough time to decide what I wanted. And what the rest of my family wanted. They did have only 3 staff working there that evening which can also be understandable because of the pandemic going around jobs can be tuff to get everyone back. Back they need to find a better system to use. The gentleman taking orders would have to leave every 5 minutes to help the other workers how to make things, but I guess if they are new they have to be trained. So here is now where the not so fun part is. Me and my family waited about 10 minutes for a ice cream to come out and which wasn't the worst wait possible but would have been more enjoyable if sooner. Now the two girls scooping all the ice cream wound walk out to the pick up door every so often with ice cream for people but never took a second to see if anyone needed help with anything. So in 10 minutes 4/5 people in my family got their ice cream. Now since all the tables outside were filled we decided to go back in the car and eat them there. But we were still missing 1 more ice cream cone. Everyone went back to the car and enjoyed there ice cream. But I stayed back with my ice cream in my hand on a CONE!!! And waited for a small strawberry ice cream in a cup. After about 10 minutes waiting for this ice cream to finally come out I went up and asked about my missing ice cream. They did they were sorry and they would get that right out. At that moment I was still fine and really saw no need to post any review but if not maybe a good one. Because mistakes happen I know I get it. But what really ticked me off was that I had to wait another 15 minutes to ask again for my missing ice cream. They said they were really sorry and they would have it right out. Well they did. But my ice cream that I ordered was half melted and half on the floor. Payed about $7 for and half of was wasted. And never got any refund. Now we only had about a 5 minute drive home where I though I would just eat it there. But since a waited so long for the other ice cream to come out and was so melted it dripped all over me and my car while my family was done with their ice cream. I'm giving this a 2/5 out of 5 because my family said their ice cream was good but it's only Hershey's ice cream. They don't even make it themselves. But the my soggy cold waffle cone was good. Just ask my floor on my car. I don't think I'm coming back to this place on any more of my vacations to the OBX. I think Dairy Queen or any ice cream shop would be better and cheaper. Don't think I'll get spend $30 for 5 people to get ice cream again either. Especially not even homemade ice cream!! Please train your staff better and if someone orders a dish or a cup please give them a spoon. I like to scoop my ice cream not drink it. read more

Not open to 11pm. Kids crying. We just left the driveway. Hours on Yelp are wrong.

This was our first trip to cups and cones. Our 2yr old daughter absolutely loved the "pink house" and the "tangled" soundtrack that was playing outside when we pulled up. Inside we find that the walls are decorated with all Disney characters and my daughter was more into naming each one she recognized vs picking a ice cream flavor... once we ordered our picks (Sunday, chocolate German cake and cookies & cream) we were surprised about the amount of flies inside (alive and dead) within the sitting area. aside from that, we enjoyed our visit and the ice cream was very good. The ice cream is "Hersey" brand hand dipped ice cream. FYI it's very good whatever flavor you pick. We would definitely go back. read more

What a great ice cream cone you get here! I got a regular size two scoop cone in the homemade waffle cone. In the words of the trump"it was huge!" They use Hershey ice cream, I got Pistachio which was loaded with nuts. My daughter got a cup of coffee ice cream with chocolate sprinkles and nothing was left in the bowl, need I say more on that. My daughters boyfriend got a strawberry shake which he had to send back because it was like strawberry milk. The girl made good and added more ice cream, but it was served in a styrofoam cup, which was small and I don't think the best choice for such a drink. Overall it was a nice way to end our vacation. I recommend a stop when your in Avon. Very kid friendly and they run children's movies inside and outside which is great for the kids but a little loud for the adults. read more

Went here many times on our vacation. The price is right for a huge variety of flavors and items! Yes there are some flies inside as you order outside and pick up inside so door has to be opened frequently Staff were extremely friendly and helpful read more

The "Cotten candy" shaved ice did not taste like the Cotten candy we asked for we have been here 4 years and the flavor has went to great to not so good.i came not to long ago and the flavor was great but now not so much. read more

My family has been coming to Avon, NC for the past 6 years or so, and Cups N' Cones is one of our frequent (ok, nightly) stops. Unfortunately, our experiences have declined over the past two years. We stopped by the other night for our first of what was to be many stops this week, but it looks like we will search elsewhere for ice cream this time around. The ice cream we were served had a stale taste, especially the peanut butter pretzel. The line was long...ish, and they only had one girl working. Normally I don't mind waiting, but waiting in line to receive stale tasting ice cream was disappointing. The house we are renting is right near the store, so it is unfortunate we have to find a new place. I'm sure we will come back and some point, but it is time for something new this trip. read more

Dog friendly. Set up is a little odd, have to order outside then pick up inside. Big variety of ice cream flavored including road runner raspberry and key lime. Also mango smoothie was one of the best my boyfriends ever had. Worth a visit. read more

Fantastic ice cream for the family. Waffle cones made in house, hand dipped high quality ice cream, and the best shaved ice I have ever had. Top notch! read more

The ice cream here is very good and they have service down to a science. You order and comes up quickly and efficiently. Seemed to be an abundance of barking dogs everywhere. People couldn't be away from their dogs for 20 minutes??? read more

Awesome ice cream and service for a good price. My waffle cone tasted great too. We'll probably be back for more in a couple days

Nice family friendly place. They opened new containers of ice cream to accommodate my hubby's peanut allergy. And there is a train table for kids! Lots of seating inside. read more

Ice cream was great, service was good...Line can be long but it moves fast. The only thing we didn't like was the way they handled and packed the shaved ice, bare handed! (watch for it, it'll make you think twice about ordering a shaved ice!) read more
