We were visiting the area with a Birthday Boy who wanted soft serve, and we had some problems finding any near where we were (beach access F). after calling and stopping in to multiple places. The Birthday Boy's favorite thing on earth is watermelon, and they had some INSANELY GOOD Watermelon Fro Yo that he went nuts over! Ned's DOES have soft serve as well as Frozen Yogurt with an insane toppings bar. The adults had sundaes and all 4 kiddos had Fro Yo. The staff was crazy kind, especially since we arrived about 20 minutes before closing. Thanks for making our Birthday Boy's dream come true!!

The negative reviews on this place really need to lighten up and take this place for what it is: a simple ice cream shop. If you’re looking for steakhouse restaurant, white glove customer service, this isn’t that place. But, you CAN get good ice cream or frozen yogurt, with an incredible selection of flavors and toppings. Offer the young kid who’s scoooing your scoop a smile and a kind word and you get it right back. If you’re up in Corolla (or on your way to/from Corova), this is a good little stop-in. Oh, they also have a mini mart and small grocery section!!

My family has been coming here for years. This place is great! Staff have always been friendly and polite. Service was fast and done with a smile. Even at 9:30 pm (30 min before closing) they still had every flavor available. The convenience section is well stocked with the basics you may have forgotten at the grocery store.

Came in for ice cream, everything was fine. Saw all the bad reviews and was a little worried. If anything, the place seems a little understaffed but we were here during off-season. Ice cream was delicious.
