    a view of the water

    It is the best place to get ice cream in Duck. (The place in the strip mall with Duck Donuts isn't bad either). Good flavors for the kids, lots of cone options, fast service, great view and espresso shakes for the adults!! Also have smoothies and a full espresso drink selection. The espresso is fine. Nothing to write home about (it's just pumped out of a machine by the ice cream scoopers) but it's a great addition to a milk shake! I don't know how the staff remains friendly as hard as they work here, but they always do a good job.

    I got a double scoop birthday cake ice cream. It was delicious! Order it in a cup so you can enjoy the waterside view without worrying about your hands getting dirty. They also accept credit cards now.

    Sunset is a nice little stop along the boardwalk of the Waterfront Shops. Order tasty ice cream, sherbets, or milkshakes through the window of the shop. Sunset features plenty of delightful toppings and drinks as well as bottled water. Enjoy your creations at one of three shaded mini-picnic tables that hover over the water. The prices are pretty reasonable. Cash only!

    They seemed nice but they are cash only. I had 8 people there for ice cream and shakes but they lost about $40.00 in sales and I am assuming because of a $2.00 credit card service charge. They also didn't know where the closest ATM was??? But wait, if you do want great ice cream and they do accept credit cards go across the street behind the Duck Deli and there is a place called the Ice Cream Shack with cozy seating outdoors. Go there, it was awesome!

    Best ice cream in the Outer Banks. If you are in Duck and you want ice cream, this is your place, especially at sunset as the sun goes down over the sound. Almost every other ice cream place just sells Eddy's. If you're going at sunset, expect lines! If you are staying on the sound and have a boat, some here by boat for the most fun!

    Best ice cream I have ever had. My wife had a shot of espresso added to her coffee and was in heaven. Cool location and definitely a nice treat to consume in the heat.

    Pretzel cone with (caramel ribboned) cookie dough ice cream is one of the best combinations I've ever put my mouth!

    My wife and I stopped by Hawaiian Island Snowballs hoping for a sweet little treat to beat the…read moreheat. What we got instead was a dessert disaster straight out of a Jimmy Buffett fever dream. My wife ordered ice cream that tasted like it had been cryogenically frozen since the Reagan administration. You ever had ice cream so freezer burnt it crunches? Yeah, it was like that. I figured I'd play it safe and go with a cotton candy snow cone. Big mistake. I don't know what kind of cotton candy they've been sniffing in Hawaii, but mine tasted like a urinal cake in a gas station bathroom--sweet, chemical-y, and weirdly minty in the worst possible way. To top it off, the woman behind the counter grabbed the ice cream bare-handed. No gloves. Just out here raw-dogging the frozen dairy like hygiene isn't a thing. Maybe that explains the "flavor." If you're in the mood for a science experiment gone wrong or want to know what disappointment tastes like, this is your place. Otherwise, steer clear.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but I left this ice cream shop feeling really upset. Watching one of…read morethe employees speak so harshly and disrespectfully to their coworker right in front of customers was honestly heartbreaking. The way she was being treated with such attitude and lack of kindness was hard to ignore. No one deserves to be belittled like that, especially not at work. It completely changed the vibe of the place. I'm giving this business 1 star, but if I could give 5 stars to the blonde headed girl working there, I absolutely would. She was kind, respectful, and clearly doing her best even while being treated poorly by a coworker right in front of everyone. What should've been a fun, sweet moment turned into something really uncomfortable. I hope management takes this seriously, because how you treat your team matters just as much as the product you serve.
