Jillian S.

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

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.

Abbey S.

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

Marie S.

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!

After a long hot day on the beach, what's better than a smoothie or Acai bowl? I ordered a smoothie, and my sister ordered an Acai bowl. My smoothie maybe took about 10 minutes but we waited almost 25 minutes for the Acai bowl. They have a takeout window as well, so it seemed with only a few workers they were getting behind. They also have ice cream as well. I wasn't sure if blueberries and peanut butter would go together, but it definitely did. I'd come back but maybe order ahead next time.

As someone who comes to Nags Head constantly, I have always went to The Spot for Acai bowls and ice cream. I went on Sunday get ice cream. My sister has a life threatening egg allergy so when I asked if the ice cream had eggs in it, the staff was very rude. The blonde girl rolled her eyes and said "let me get the book" very rudely. After we went through the ice cream to figure out which flavors she could have the dude with the pink hair asked me if I had any more questions, comments or concerns in regards to the book. Then the two blondes and him made fun of the situation. I have never been so appalled by a staff's behavior before. I used to love The Spot but after this treatment, I will never go back. read more

I go on vacation every year since I was three months old and recently, for the past couple of years, I came across this place. I was looking for breakfast that would not hurt my stomach since I have digestive issues. I fell in love with all the açaí bowls and smoothies. I'm from Pittsburgh, PA and they don't have a place quite like this where it is good and also decent priced. I will definitely be going to The Spot in the years to come. read more

Best place in town to get an acai bowl! Even better, it was only a couple blocks from the place where we were staying. I had a strawberry, banana, pineapple, blueberry, and coconut custom-made and it was absolutely fantastic. Loved the freshness of the acai and overall flavor of it. Definitely hit the spot haha!

This place is great to get a smoothie in the morning before hitting the beach. I've gone twice and was satisfied with my purchase but I wasn't too happy with how pricey it was. I do understand that açaí bowls are expensive to produce but it isn't appealing seeing such a large price tag on such a small bowl. Despite the price, I will still continue to come back because they are delicious! read more

This is the best açaí bowl I've ever had. They're all very good but if you like peanut butter, the loggerhead is fantastic. It's a fun atmosphere too, good space and good for kids.

I came in here specifically for the Acai bowl. It did not disappoint! We ordered the loggerhead. I was prepared for a long wait because the line was long. But I only waited five minutes for my bowl. It was awesome! The Acai berry as the base is delicious. Next time I may throw on Nutella. I can't wait for a next time! I recommend this stop for something different. They also had smoothies, freshly made waffles and hand dipped ice cream. read more

Who reviews an ice-cream place. We liked their flavors, where do you find a superman flavored ice-cream for kids. The banana split was innovative with multiple flavors. The prices are very affordable. It is nice they have some fruit acai berry bowls, but we didn't get a chance to try them. If you're looking for ice-cream at Nags head, try this instead of some regular random place. read more

If I still lived here this place would be dangerous for me. The atmosphere is super chill.. Wasn't expecting the prices but best $9 I spent on my vacay this far! Didn't hurt that they had Jack Johnson playing that added to the chillness. I got the mermaid bowl sans blueberries. Absolutely blew my mind. My friend recommended this place and I would definitely recommend to anyone! I hope I can find a place that does something similar to this in Florida. I really appreciated the friendliness of the people who worked there who helped me better understand their menu as well as checking in to see how I was liking it. Amazeballs! Thanks!!! read more

The ice cream/milkshake was average and not worth the price. Acai bowls and smoothies, probably. They tried to ring up a milkshake that had just been paid for by me onto one of my friends bills, but she caught it before she paid because she knew it shouldn't be that much. They have cool things like honey sticks and cool 70s theme apparel, but I would probably go to a different surrounding ice cream shop before returning during my next OBX visit. read more

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?

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.

Happy to find a breakfast place that had vegan options, we loved the looks and menu here. One Gentleman was running the front of the house. He had to take orders, get drinks, etc. Hopefully someone was in the back cooking, lol. Food took awhile but was totally delicious. Five stars easily for quality, quantity and taste. Have to say that none of us were fans of the vessels used as plates though. Made for difficult eating, especially with the pancakes. Also, there's only one restroom which had zero toilet paper.

The workers have a large area to prep food so things happened super efficiently. Despite being constantly busy, they were friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. There is ample seating in the outdoor patio as well as around the store on the "sidewalk". We took advantage of a nook outside of the market area, which was nicely shaded with tables and chairs. There was also a lot of comfy seating inside with a couple of nooks furnished with chairs and couches for families to sit in. Past the cafe is a market area with merchandise and wine.

There's lots of sitting space indoor and outdoor and would be a great place to go with friends. They also have a bench to wait for coffee and food to-go. I got the iced Paradise latte with oat milk and a breakfast sandwich with egg, goat cheese, bacon, and avocado which was very filling. I've been here multiple times and have enjoyed my drinks, food, and experience every time. The staff are so friendly and the wait time is not too bad. There are lots of vegan options, homemade syrups, and whole food options. I would highly recommend Sea Level to anyone who enjoys organic food and creative coffee.

While this is a smaller place there is great outdoor seating to compliment what they have inside. Most importantly, the seating outside is located on the west facing side of the building and it is covered----great protection from the early morning sun so you can enjoy an outside breakfast. Came with a group of five, one kid, and there were options for everyone. There is no waiter/waitress service so you view and select options from the menu and place orders at the register---names are called when ready. Everything worked smoothly and quickly even though this place was very busy. Love that all meals are served in biodegradable plates/bowls. The yogurt parfait was a healthy serving of yogurt, bananas, pineapple, and strawberries---2 thumbs up from the 9 year-old! Adults tried various combinations of there platters and everything was great. Highly recommend the hangover potatoes and the sourdough bread, both very unique. All-in-all, very good value for the quality of food. Highly recommend adding this to the vacation week breakfast options in Nags Head!

We decided that we would finally try it out with a friend who was visiting for his birthday. The food was not only amazing, the menu was transparent, the customer service was top notch, and the view speaks for itself! We ordered Tuna Tartare (very local tuna), calamari, shrimp burger sliders (so glad the shrimp location not being OBX didn't scare us away), house salad, tuna steak dinner, and the chef Mac burger. No one at our table had a single complaint- not even the 7-year-old who ate half the burger and bites of everyone else's food. Further, there was a hiccup, and the restaurant more than made it up by comping desserts that we otherwise would have never ordered (we're just not dessert people). WHOA were we grateful for that because their desserts are 'write home about it' worthy. As stuffed as I am writing this review, I can't wait to go back to explore the menu further.
