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.

Açaí bowl
Austin J.

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.

Avalon bowl

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.

Loggerhead Bowl

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'm an ice cream-aholic!!! No matter where my travels take me, I will always find good, creamy,…read moreyummy ice cream. Surfin' Spoon was absolutely amazing on our recent visit to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. They have different self-serve machines, numerous flavors, and so many delicious toppings! It's based on weight(I believe 70 cents per ounce).... If you get there early enough, you might be in line for 10-15 minutes: after that it could be upwards of 45-60 minutes with long lines wrapped around the building (and down the street!!)...I highly recommend getting there on the earlier side! Who says you can't eat ice cream at 11 in the morning???? LMAO If you're ever in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, definitely get to a Surfin' Spoon. It's absolutely worth the experience! Your palate will thank you...

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.

Busy, quick, small -- which allows you to know that it was a "hole-in-the-wall that got famous so…read morenow 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?

Unique flavors but didn't like any of them. Carrot cake was super faint same with pacha. Whereas…read morebutter pecan was too rich and tasted too much like butter it was kinda sickening. The coconut lotus pie had a faint coconut flavor but else tasted like something not coconut or lotus. I only ate half my scoop which was $6.45. It very difficult for me to not like icecream so very disappointing. Noose scoops oat meal pie flavor yesterday much better and only $4.50 scoop. I think holy cow is worth it to try the donut panini but just for icecream it's not.
