Island Time ice cream was a very short walk from the beach house we rented for the week. We came here a few times. One time we show up shortly after 11am (their opening time), and there were a few people waiting, but no one working there. We waited about 10 minutes and left. The store that day truly lived up to its name and operated on Island Time. However, with that being said, they have a large assortment of ice cream flavors. Their ice cream is very good. I had the pistachio one day, the coconut almond (which was my favorite), and the German chocolate another day. The ice cream is great and 4.5 stars out of 5. The service, when on time, was friendly but a little slow. Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone visiting Avon and has a sweet tooth. read more

Friendly, efficient, tasty, locally owned. Be prepared to to an automotive kabuki dance in the small parking lot after supper, but everybody expects it and cooperates. read more

The ice cream isn't very flavorful, it tasted like something I could cheaply buy from the grocery store. We ate inside, which was horribly dirty. The floor was dirty and sticky, the tables were messy, there were flies everywhere, even the blinds were crooked, bent and broken. I would not go back here. read more

My family and I drove all the way from Rodanthe to cups and cones since it was highly rated here on Yelp. To be honest I'm shocked ratings are this high. It was a waste of my time and money to bypass other ice cream shops to come here. When we arrived I ordered a regular (2 scoops) of cookies and cream with birthday cake. The person taking my order interrupted me when I was stating the TWO flavors I wanted because he said I was going to fast? He didn't even give me a receipt; no big deal but I would have liked one. My sister ordered a mango Italian ice with strawberries on top and the guy taking her order had NO idea what "strawberries" "on top" meant. Finally he got what she was asking for. When she received her Italian ice, the strawberries on top looked GROSS. Not even the general color nor consistency of what strawberries should look like. My parents both ordered a regular one with two scoops and a cone the other in a cup. The guy charged them both for two scoops in cones, yet didn't even give my dad his ice cream in a waffle cone that he paid extra for. The people taking orders need to either pay closer attention or listen a little harder next time. It's not rocket science. The ice cream was basic, nothing amazing. I would have had a better experience and better tasting ice cream if I just went out to the store and bought some myself really.. The only cool part of this whole experience was that they were playing Lilo and Stitch outside. It's a hard pass in my book. read more
