Great homemade ice cream store! Plenty of space, lots of flavors. It does get busy at night, but moves fast. I tried coffee toffee chocolate chip, single scoop on waffle cone was a decent size. The ice cream tasted fantastic and lots of mixed in toppings. Only downside is the waffle cone wasn’t as good compared to other ice cream stores that I’ve been to. They also sell candies and chocolates. Visit them if you’re here!

Newer entry to the Soundside shops in Duck replacing Plum Crazy (second location in Timbuck II). Standard ice cream flavors and a number of exotic and creative mixes. The advertised Seasalt Caramel Pretzel is absolutely delicious. Somehow the pretzels (plenty) are not mushy, but firm. Waffle cones a must. A number of flavors sold in pints in the dairy case. Store is stocked with all types of chewing gum, candy, candy bars, small toys, medium to large stuffed animals, and multiple sodas by the bottle. On the end of the boardwalk overlooking the Sound with great views.

Delicious ice cream! We got a pint of their butter toffee and chocolate chip ice cream.l and classic vanilla to go. Very creamy and rich. They also have some great chocolates as well. Had to get their dark chocolate covered pretzels. Can't wait to go back and get a waffle cone.

Ice cream was pretty good, but the price is too much for what you get. $6 for a single, small scoop is expected for the beach of course, but the amount we got was beyond small. I work at an ice cream shop and know that we go off of 4 oz sizes per scoop, and this wasn’t close. Besides, the shop is also all homemade, and a single scoop is $2.79. Save your money and go elsewhere if you’re looking for something affordable for a family. But I would recommend the banana and biscotti flavors if it’s up your alley

They have one dairy-free option which is strawberry sorbet. It is homemade with fresh strawberries and it was a little too sweet. We also got the chocolate and chocolate peanut butter and it was delicious. They also have espresso Frozen drinks which are delicious. The lemonade strawberry drink is also delicious with fresh strawberries sorbet mixed in with lemonade.
