    Cookie Monster
    Cletus V.

    Blueberry Cheesecake was sort of bland, the Cookie Monster was good though. Very clean and the staff were nice.

    Busy, quick, small -- which allows you to know that it was a "hole-in-the-wall that got famous so now i wouldn't really qualify it as that bc that where you go to get ice cream here. But, it was worth it. and i am not usually an ice cream girl, or really desserts for that matter, but i came and it was SOOOO GOOD!!! I Always go for cookies and cream if i get ice cream, especially if it has cookie dough bits in it and that's what it had!! now it's totally blue in color-- rightlly so to be named after "cookie monster" (tbh i totally got the reference super late but when i did i was like ohhhh duhhhhhh LOL). and usually the blue in color would have thrown me off, like ooooo that's gonna be too sweet. but it wasn't, it was perfect. i did get only 1 scoop in a bowl, and that was perfect for me. especially bc one scoop was like THREE LOL so i was like dang, how much would it have been had i gotten more?

    Cute little spot to stop for a sweet treat of ice cream. They have a big variety of flavors and the establishment looks clean. They have very few outdoor seating which I noticed. Since there are so many flavors to choose from it can be a bit overwhelming especially when you are stopping by with a toddler. Unfortunately my only complaint was that I felt so rushed to order even though there was nobody behind us in line. The girl assisting our family felt so annoyed with her face gestures and kept asking if we were ready to order? Just by the service I can't give it five stars. Hopefully they better the service cause it's definitely a nice spot to stop by after a day at the beach.

    The ice cream was delicious and the staff were very kind and friendly. It was a cute space and I would love to come back in the future!

    The line was literally all the way out the door in the parking lot. Which makes you think the ice cream is bomb. Which it WAS. my stars are for the service they aren't the most friendly crew, they rushed us and didnt even give us a chance to browse the menu for first timers. Super cute inside, just wish they had better service.

    The best ice cream around! Service is unbeatable. Multiple smiling faces eager to serve. Clean cool and bright interior. Today, I had the Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake and it may be the best thing I've had all week! It is legit that tasty y'all! Check them out!

    Single scoop of the Holy Cow

    I will start by saying there was a very long line but it moved quite quickly...the service there knows how to handle the crowds! They had a variety of flavors that sounded good and I wanted to sample several but didn't want to hold up the line so I just went for a scoop of their namesake - Holy Cow. It was a vanilla ice cream with bits of Oreo and pretzel and some sea salt caramel within. I was honestly pretty underwhelmed...the vanilla ice cream itself lacked flavor and there weren't many pretzel or Oreo pieces within, plus the texture wasn't as creamy as I'd have liked. Maybe other flavors would be better but it was not worth the $6+ in my opinion.

    Coffee ice cream (forgot it's name but it's fantastic!)

    We now understand how much everyone loves this place! Came in around 5:00 (a pretty off-peak time) and were warmly greeted by staff who explained the menu. All the ice cream is house made and they offer an ice cream stuffed donut that's put on a panini press... Seemed really cool but after donuts the day before I took a pass. Went for a medium with the coffee plus the Irish cream scoops which were an absolutely perfect match! Ice cream is rich and creamy (not icy) and the flavors really pop. Can't wait to come back next year!

    Amazing ice cream! The lines are long but well worth it! Every flavor is out of this world and they have vegan options too.

    Front Porch is my absolute favorite coffee place in OBX. It doesn't matter which location I go to…read more I have experienced nothing but AMAZING service at each location. The staff at each one is always warm and inviting and goes out of their way. to help and say hi. My go to drink is ALWAYS a Large Iced West 3rd (if you haven't tried it you should!) We usually stay in Corolla where there is not a location and I ALWAYS make it appoint to drive out to where they are. I love this place so much that at Christmas time I always order a couple bags of their Holiday blend to have back here at home in Maryland since I unfortunately do not live there. I HIGHLY recommend you try any one of their locations at least once while you are there, I guarantee you will be hooked!!!

    Really enjoyed this cafe. I already had too much coffee for the day so opted for their Italian soda…read moreand added cherry flavor which was really good. They have a good selection of coffee and plenty of space to do some work. I appreciated the counter that looked out the window and had a power outlet at every seat (the struggle is real at other places to find a place to plug in). They have a very large banquet table which I'm sure is great if you have a large group that needs it. They have longer ours than some other cafes and are open until 6pm so I was very happy about that!
