With bright lights and colors and a huge candy section, this is a a child's dream. There are many different choices in open bins where you fill a bag/box and purchase by the pound - Keep an eye on those scoop sizes because this gets real expensive real fast! At $15.96/lb as of my visit, you can very quickly scoop an eye popping amount into what feels like a small bag. The staff were not especially friendly, mostly mumbling and hard to understand when I asked questions. Also, prices seem intentionally misleading ("$3.99/quarter pound") which seems cheap if you're only quickly glancing and not doing the math.

The coffee explosion is much more sundae than I expected but at least I have at least 10,000 steps in from walking 51 minutes one way to burn off some of those calories. This place may randomly open earlier or later than regular hours if they know of events going on as well. One of the staff took the time and energy to tell me about all the different flavors and another one asked me about my lego shirt which I later remembered is from Typographia in Portugal. To add (6/8/24 update): I'd like to "challenge " the Laughing Lollipop to beta test offering TooGoodToGo and a vegan flavor of ice cream. If there is any place that can keep their brand going and innovate with ice cream and candy in Manteo, it is this place!!

Great selection of produce with a nice variety of organic options. Beautiful fresh flowers and they were actually very reasonably priced. Nice bread and bakery. Great deli section with sliced meats & cheese to order, great selection of cheese, a variety of prepared foods (had a gent making sushi while we were there), and a nice antipasto & olive bar. Decent wine selection & smaller beer selection. Our cashier, Laura, was very kind and helpful. She switched out our cart to a larger one w/o us even asking (we bought more then the little cart would hold, lol). She had a great sense of humor too.

Funny enough my husband wanted to go to The Cotton Gin to shop for Vineyard Vines clothing. I had planned to sit the shopping trip out but next thing I know I'm checking out at Cotton Gin with a new puzzle, bracelet, Christmas ornament, candy and bag. Just when I didn't think I needed anything I managed to find a variety of things at Cotton Gin. As indicated by this anecdote, The Cotton Gin sells a variety of stuff and it's fun to wander through the various rooms of the two level store. Although I most commonly come away with beachy souvenirs it is worth noting that they have high end cotton products like towels, quilts, and such. The Cotton Gin has various locations and the Nags Head store is located at the 14 Mile Post across from the Outer Banks Mall.

It's all in the Silver Lining. On this day of days, we stopped by to see what the store had to offer. I saw one dainty little necklace that could be for a young girl or baby, but did not by it. I have no kids or nieces worthy of such a gift. Besides, they have grown out of the cutesy fartsy faze already. Nevertheless, the work someone did on the peices of art did not pass my eyes without appreciation for the fine details. The staff were polite, but not overly enthusiastic about us being there. It seemed to me at least they enjoyed each other's company than the guests arriving in their store. Nevertheless, I will keep this place in mind for my next book, or find a better location.
