    Updating my review to further express how great their açaí bowls are. This time I ordered online for pick up. The online ordering system isn't great (see below), however, I eventually found what I was looking for and called to adjust the pick up time. Since the large wasn't available, I chose regular for one bowl and mega for the other. I also paid for extra granola for both. Although the toppings look skimpy, we were pleasantly surprised to find the extra granola at the bottom of the regular bowl. Then the mega bowl was basically a double decker acai bowl. Acai on the bottom with selected toppings then more acai resting under another layer of the selected toppings. It's definitely worth it to get the mega bowl. They also make good smoothies and use compostable materials. Our orders have been accurate and filling. Plus the employees are friendly. Issues with the online ordering: -I couldn't adjust the pick-up time. Even though they were open for another 5 hours, the only option for pick up was next day at 9:30 am. I called after placing the order and they said they could make the order right away. -large perfect bowl is not an option (all other sizes were available) -special bowl options are confusing. No option for granola but there is an option for extra granola. No description for what it contains yet you can remove items. -many of the items do not have descriptions, luckily I had been here before so I knew what the perfect bowl entailed

    Great place for social media photos

    The service was great!! Cute ambiance. Great option for Acai bowls. Wish they have more options gor coffee beside cold brew and regular hot pot coffee. Was wishing for espresso or .... something a little more . Overall, Great will be back.

    Definitely recommend this spot. Great place to bring some friends and enjoy refreshing treats. The açaí bowls are very good, reasonably priced, and worth your time. Great balance of all the ingredients and very customizable! The service is very attentive and very quick. Fun beach vibes on the inside too!

    There is absolutely no where better on earth for açaí bowls than the spot. I will die on that hill defending this place. We come to the outer banks once a year and eat here every day just for them. They layer the toppings with their larger sizes which makes it so amazing. Also we had our dog with us and the manager walked out with ice cream to make sure our dog got something. Staff is so friendly and they have a lot of clean seating. Greatest açaí ever.

    Must stop place if you visit and are in the area. Açaí bowls are great...everything we ordered was great. Nice spot with indoor and large outdoor seating area with some shade.

    The service was quick and the açaí bowls were very tasty. I got a small Avalon bowl with peanut butter and I'm so glad I added the peanut butter because it made it a lot better. Their base is very good and flavorful and everything was fresh.

    Definitely more of a smoothy bowl/ice cream place than anything else. Coffee is only cold brew or standard hot. I was hoping for some fun latte options. I'll go back again for a smoothy bowl this weekend!

    Love this shop and make it a point to support it frequently during any OBX sojourn. Never tried the ice cream or whatever else they may have, to me it's all about the açaí bowls. It's easy to eat a bunch of junk on vacay, and I'll admit I can be guilty of that, so I'll typically make a meal each day with a bowl here - they work at breakfast, lunch and dinner and they're both crazy healthy and crazy delish. The Spot features a wrap-around porch and a game/picnic area, both of which have seating and are dog-friendly. Service is almost always friendly; the order taker today had an ugly case of the morning grumpies but the one who delivered my bowl was charming and helpful. See you next trip!

    Consistency of the Acai was perf, cute little environs with smiling staff. How could I not recommend!

    Great options that bring healthy and fresh food to your day. Generally quick service with a very straightforward menu. Indoor and outdoor sedation options available and local artists showcasing their work for sale

    WOW ! I had the make your own acai bowl, I had fresh strawberries, kiwi, granola, Coconut and blueberries it was delicious! I also had the Avocado toast it was just ok- not much to it. The younger kids making food are really nice and friendly. I also ordered our daughter an Avalon- They do charge extra for substituting example no honey sub almond butter- really $1next time I will get another pick 5 then there is no extra charge for the first 5 ingredients. My husband had a hot fudge sundae- he said it was the best one he'd ever had. Restaurant was clean- we sat outside with the dogs.

    100000/10 best bowl I've had! Quick service, friendly staff and the best bowl! Easily could've gone here every day of our trip!

    I can not wait to go back, with friends or solo! This was by far the sweetest (pun intended) iced…read morecream shop I have been to in a long time. Let's start with location. Great size parking lot, sounds like they get a LOT of customers based off their signs. And they do have a lot, so you know exactly what to expect. The whole house is beautiful, love their decor and the cute way people hide money in the cracks and crevices of the establishment. This is the second place I have been to that I've seen this done. My younger one hid a quarter of her own. Also, wish we weren't rushing out so quickly to head to our next spot because I would have loved some cute merch! T-shirts, hoodies, bags, cups, etc. The establishment is clean, well maintained, and overall a total OBX vibe. Lots of sitting areas inside and outside on the porch. Service was cool, younger highschool kids mainly, they had a lot of them at the counter. I didn't need any help but they seem ready and willing to be at service. No complaints. They also offer military discount. A+ for our active military and veterans. The ice cream was great. Think froyo style places where it's based off weight. I had a mixture of Vanilla, pretzel, and cheesecake. I liked the cheesecake best especially with the cheesecake toppings. My friend got an ice cream sandwich, note she isn't a super sweets person but she really enjoyed it. She did say the cookie part of the sandwich was a bit too sugary for her personally. Me on the other hand, bring on the sugar. The kids had an awesome time selecting their ice cream and toppings. Every one of them loved being able to make their own decisions and create exactly what they wanted. As for the toppings I do wish they had crushed graham crackers, would have been great with the cheesecake bites. Note* Slowly pull the handle for ice cream. Some come out way faster than others and you end up with a way too filled bowl. Overall an excellent experience and a certified Surfin' Spoon roadie! Just need to grab some merch next time to show them off as I travel!

    Heard a lot of good things about Sufin Spoon online so my boyfriend and I were excited to try. We…read morewaited about 40ish minutes in line which we didn't mind (but just a heads up it tends to be packed at night). My expectations were high and I did go into this place thinking it was predominantly frozen yogurt, which they only had 4 froyo flavors and the rest were gelato which was disappointing. Peach, Cheesecake, White Chocolate and Caramel Sea Salt were the flavors which they weren't bad but i just thought they had a larger selection of froyo. The space is really nice, cozy, lots of seating, and spacious. Definitely a nice space to enjoy your treat. Overall my experience was alright, like i said, i went into thinking this was mainly a frozen yogurt spot with some ice cream selections because most of the stuff i saw online did promote it as that. i do wish they had an online menu of their flavors to know ahead of time what i want to get. I would come back if they have different flavors that interest me.
