    Make your own froyo!
    Karson S.

    Really liked the options here - it is definitely froyo (not ice cream) and it's the classic "serve yourself" with LOTS of options including pecan topping, caramel, brownie bits, hot fudge, and more! They also have ice cream cookie sandwiches as a pre-ready option if you don't want to have to make your own. YUM!

    BLUF: Delightful atmosphere featuring about ten flavors of self-serve frozen yogurt. About a decade ago Surfin' Spoon was a fresh newcomer to the beach but it is now part of many families summer repertoire. Surfin' Spoon is a self-serve frozen yogurt place but they have other frozen treats too like delicious cookie sandwiches featuring their frozen yogurt as the filling. Like any good yogurt spot, they have a variety of toppings that can be added to the frozen yogurt. With around ten flavors to choose from, I tend to skip the topics and let the frozen yogurt speak for itself. Pricing is by weight. There is seating inside and out and the employees are always friendly. Surfin' Spoon is located on the beach road and has its own parking lot just on the south side of the building.

    Well worth the wait, even though it took about 40 minutes on a weekday evening! The frozen yogurt was so creamy, flavorful and fresh. I tend to be an icecream person but this visit convinced me to give frozen yogurt more of a chance. My favorite flavor was the cake batter which was melt-in-your mouth perfect. Also plenty of toppings to choose from and reasonable prices (weighed by the oz). Plenty of seating inside and outside. Parking is limited, so you may need to park at a public beach access nearby. The interior is cool where you can leave dollar bills and coins in all the nooks and crannies of the shop to be donated to charity. Staff were friendly and overall a great experience.

    This place is an absolute MUST if you're in town! We come here at least once every time we're down in OBX and it never disappoints. The line is always pretty long in the summer but trust me it is SO worth it! On top of the great desserts, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They also have a great selection of merchandise. We usually buy a shirt or sweatshirt every time we visit because they're so cute and comfortable. This place is the BEST!

    Surfin' Spoon is awesome!!! We absolutely love their frozen yogurt, gelatos and range of delicious toppings. The pricing is pretty reasonable for what you get, and their cashiers are bubbly and kind! The ambiance is so quaint, fun, and cute!! The whole building is very inviting and cozy for the whole family. The bright colors, natural light, and cozy seating make it feel like a home away from home. The porch is also decked out (pun intended) with rocking chairs and wrap around built-in seating with pillows. I will continue to frequent Surfin' Spoon when I'm in town, and always recommend them to friends and family! We love you, Surfin' Spoon!!!

    Yummy ice cream! They have soft serve and you can add topping yourself. You Must try the cookie ice cream sandwiches...truly amazing! The setting is really pretty as well. Don't let the long line scare you, it moves quickly!

    Me and my family came in here for a nice snack before heading home for the day. The place is really cute and pretty and the staff explained their system well. I really enjoyed my frozen yogurt and their were a lot of option for flavors and toppings. A really great place

    Our group of 4 stopped in after having dinner nearby. We all really wanted an ice cream treat and Surfin' Spoon was high on the list of places to try while in the OBX. We arrived, were greeted at the door then got in the very long line. We selected our cups and picked from an assortment of soft serve flavors then added toppings around the corner. We paid then grabbed a table outside. We waited about 25 minutes from joining the line to enjoying our treats. We all thought the soft serve was decent but nothing special. The flavors were mild and none of them really stood out. It was just like every other "fro-yo" spot. They did have a nice selection of toppings and I enjoyed the outdoor seating. Overall, I thought it was overhyped and not worth the longer wait times. If you are looking for basic soft serve, give them a try.

    Adelle Y.

    Super high quality soft serve. Extremely clean and a variety of toppings. I tried the chocolate and vanilla soft serve. The ice cream sandwiches are also very special. Next time I will try the gluten free one.

    Allison S.

    Love this place!! This is our go to spot for dessert in the outer banks. Not pictured is the BOMB ice cream sandwiches they have. The workers are always so kind. The owners are around occasionally greeting customers and they are so kind. The line can be long during peak season but well worth it.

    Jillian S.

    Love Surfin' spoon! Delicious soft serve and amazing ice cream sandwiches! Seriously don't leave without trying one of the ice cream sandwiches. I recommend the lemon lavberry. Plus they offer vegan and gluten free options. The flavors are posted and you can mix and match. Choose your flavors (self-serve) and then your toppings. The line can get long, but it moves fairly quickly. If you don't have time to wait you can skip the line and purchase an ice cream sandwich. Then sit outside in the beautiful sun and enjoy the delicious ice cream. Leave money in the wall if desired and they donate it to a local charity, Surfing for Autism.

We were the only ones there and everything was clean. They do have dining inside and out, you are given your food as a to-go order no matter what and I like that because once I'm done I can pack up and go. They even offer a doggy meal or a dog treat to go so your fur babies are obviously welcomed. Our food didn't take too long and we ate it outside since it was such a nice day. At one point during our meal a lady steps outside from the side door and asks us how we were doing and if everything was good. We all answered it was and she went back inside with a smile. The burgers (chicken and beef) are large. I did get my burger with a gluten free bun to test their buns out personally. I did think it was too dry sadly, otherwise the burger were have been a 10/10 if I had ordered the regular bun. But if I had to eat gluten free id like to know this about their options. So the burger was a 7/10. My friend got the chicken on regular bun and she loved everything about the flavor, it was just extremely messy and half the burger was on her wrapper. She did say her sandwich was too salty but the salt was perfect on her fries. The fries are cut different, never seen them like that before but they were good. Kids meals were good as well. We did order the fried pickles only to realized they were spears afterwards. They were yummy but I'd prefer them the sliced way. Overall we loved everything. We'll be stopping again for sure.

The smash burgers are awesome as well very good quality meat and toppings. My wife and daughter like the Yum Yum tacos and burgers. Love the fries big spirals of potato and they give you and dipping sauce that is sweet with a bit spicy kick at the end but not overly hot. Service is usually vett good, I have had a couple of instances of my food taking a hit too long but both times the manager apologized made sure we got fresh hot food and knocked %20 off of our bill so they made it right quickly. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for quick quality take out!!

They sell different vegan dishes and most have what they call kush in them. It seems to be some sort of grain, but I really don't know. But I do like it. They have Alfredo, nachos, Mac n cheese, desserts, and smoothies. Some of the food is reasonable and some is pricey. A few desserts were $10-$15. I wanted to try them, but not for that price. We placed our order and looked around the store. They have updated the store/restaurant, so it's a more modern vibe. You can read books or hang out inside, so that's cool. The restroom was clean. There was plenty of seating to dine in. The store side sells books, crystals, jewelry, and more!! The cashier and cook were both very friendly!! I'm not vegan so I stick to what taste familiar to me to be safe. The chili is good, you wouldn't even know it's vegan. Definitely get the vegan nacho cheese to kick it up a notch. It also comes with chips. The alfredo came with veggies and kush. I'm glad it was saucy. I got it fully loaded so it came with a hash brown on top also. It was pretty good, but could use a little more seasoning to elevate the taste.. The last time I ate here the portions were a little larger, they seem to be noticeably smaller this time, so that's the only difference I've noticed. The kush usually confuses my stomach for a few days afterwards. It also may make you feel full faster but, I think it's worth trying. If your a vegan you should check them out, but even if you're not you can probably find something to try! Check them out!!

I can't wait to try this delight during my next visit. Over the past few years, my lactose intolerance has ramped up, which makes each chance to indulge in one of my all-time favorite treats--milkshakes--feel like a true celebration. With an incredible 15 flavors to choose from, I couldn't resist the Bakoko (butter pecan ice cream) temptation. It was amazing--rich, smooth, and creamy, all made from almond milk! Each sip brought back such sweet nostalgia, reminding me of the butter pecan ice cream my parents adored. And let me tell you about the sweet potato cheesecake--it whisked me right back to my Southern grandmother's kitchen, blending the comforting embrace of her baking with the delightful taste of cheesecake. I savored these heavenly desserts for nearly a week, relishing every moment!
