I had the white chocolate raspberry ice cream and it was delicious. I wish I could find it back home! This is the perfect spot for a little treat after walking around town. We hope to be back in the area soon and will definitely come back here!

It was sunny and 80° out, so we had a really nice time sitting on the back deck while she ate her ice cream. The second day my mom went upfor ice cream and coffee to go, and we went over to the River Walk to sit and enjoy. Last spring when we went, we got to watch a guy play live music on the bottom level. The staff is very nice and they’re all more than efficient at their jobs (while maybe a bit slow, if you lack patience we understand that spots like this are leisurely and so are the staff working them, and I think it’s part of what makes the place so relaxing). The views are next to none. You can’t get those views many other places in Swansboro.I noticed the back decks (top and bottom) have brand new tables and chairs, and they were nice!The only reason I’m holding back a star in the rating is that the steps to get upstairs for ice cream (both in the front and the back) are INCREDIBLY steep, and it’s got zero accessible entry points for the upper level (where you buy ice cream). I use a cane and sometimes a wheelchair and I can’t imagine being able to enjoy this spot on a wheelchair day, which makes me sad for those that can’t ever get up out of their chairs and also makes me acutely aware of the fact that eventually, I won’t be able to go here anymore either. Still, lack of ramp and all, I love it there!
