    Another wonderful experience here. This is one of our favorite places at the beach you just can't beat it! Staff is friendly, the restaurant is adorable, the ice cream is delicious, and the merch is amazing. I buy a crew neck almost every time I visit and have ordered some online as well - they're so comfortable and cute! And only $40! highly recommend.

    Offshore Orange Sorbet, Shreddin' Strawberry, and some mixed fresh fruit.

    Wide choice of nice, fresh flavors. No wait at 4pm on a Wednesday, but I saw where the line starts on busy days (maybe 30-40 mins?). A friend suggested the ice cream sandwiches made ith homemade cookies, to speed up the process. Self-serve in cups, priced by weight.

    I've been dying to check this place out as I see it all over TikTok. The inside is soooo cute! I like that you can customize your bowl of froyo to your liking. I got cookies n cream as well as cake batter. They had different toppings ranging from fruit, candy, brownie bites, cheesecake bites, nutella, etc. There's also a cute little photo booth inside.

    tl;dr: Great place for a sweet treat in the Outer Banks! Surfin' Spoon is a dessert shop that offers a number of sweet treats such as frozen yogurt and ice cream sandwiches. The concept is simple: You pick up a cup, grab your froyo and add toppings. You pay by weight, so keep that in mind! The vibes here are really chill, and it's awesome to see all of the quarters and dollar bills. That was a tradition started many years back. The money is donated to a local nonprofit, Surfing for Autism. If you come during peak times, be prepared to wait. The line can often wrap around the building, but it's worth it! The staff here are all so nice. Parking: They have a parking lot next to the store. It can get crowded during peak times. Vibes: Fun, beachy atmosphere with a lot of places to sit and enjoy your dessert.

    Delicious gluten free ice cream cookie sandwiches!! When we come to visit, I'll grab several sandwiches and bring them home to put in the freezer. While it typically is very busy, if you're ordering something already put together (like the gf sandwiches), you can skip the line. While the line is long, the service is quick and they're very friendly. They also have doggy ice cream!

    Make your own froyo!

    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!

    I love surfin spoon! Will definitely come back next time I am in Nags Head! All of the workers were so kind and helpful, so many smiles. Keep being great! My boyfriend and I loaded up 2 big cups and we paid $17 which I feel is pretty reasonable for an ice cream shop on the island. The wait was long (a little more than an hour wait), but it was definitely worth it.

    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.

    This is what it said.

    Great soft serve ice cream. Different flavors every day. The service you have to wait in a long line but it is only like 10 minutes this was the first time i came here. There is a great tradition since 2012 people hung money on the wall and it is not for decoration it is for people in need.

    Such a fun, clean place. Excellent one cream and toppings. Staff is very nice. Highly recommended!

    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.

    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!!!

    See all
