I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! But, wait not just any ice cream the best ice cream. If you are an ice cream fan then you may be wondering where to find some of the best ice creams.  Luckily for you, it’s not too far away.

Yelp reports that an ice cream shop in the Outer Banks has been deemed with serving the best ice cream in North Carolina. Surfin’ Spoon is serving the best ice cream you could find in North Carolina, according to Yelp. Yelp went on to find the best ice cream shops in every state ahead of National Ice Cream Day, July 17. What better way to celebrate than grabbing a scoop from the best shop in your state. On National Ice Cream Day many shops will be hosting deals for the entire family to scoop!

To determine the best ice cream shops, Yelp took the total volume and reviews over the last year to compare shops. While using the determining factors, they were able to place the title of No. 1 shop in certain places in each state. Each ice cream shop on the list was open and had a passing health score as of May 12, 2022.

Surfin’ Spoon, notably North Carolina’s No. 1 shop, is the Outer Banks’ go-to for frozen yogurt.  This shop is no ordinary frozen yogurt mom-and-pop shop. They offer tons of sweet treats ranging from frozen yogurt and their famous, made-from-scratch ice cream sandwiches. This is one stop in the Outer Banks that will leave your sweet tooth 100% satisfied. Surfin’ Spoon is located at 3408 South Va Dare Trail, so the next time you’re in Nags Head take a visit!
