“OMG this ice cream is the bomb! Lol really this place is good. The line was out the door but well worth the wait to get it. Their prices are normal to me for what you get. My husband and son had the mint chocolate ice cream and both have said how good it was. We will definitely be back on our next visit. Highly recommend Happy Belly Ice Cream!”

“Great little stop. Went kayaking next store then stopped in for ice cream afterwards. Wife and kids got waffle cones. I got a milkshake. Prices are fair based on location. Will go again if given the opportunity.”

“Really enjoyed my shake from Happy Belly Ice Cream. My daughter also really enjoyed her ice cream cone! The staff was quite efficient and moved a large line in no time! Visited during the COVID outbreak, but it was good to see everyone in masks!! They had only 10 people in the store at any given time. Glad we stopped! Highly recommended if you are in the Hatteras or Frisco area!”

“This little ice cream shop was quite efficient. We were in a line down the stairs but the line kept moving well. They are generous with their toppings, and the prices seemed around what I would expect for hand dipped ice cream.”

“Ice cream was refreshing on an unseasonably warm and sunny day. Sitting out on the deck was a get way to enjoy the treat. There are a great selection of mugs, t shirts, key chains, and stickers for your Jeep or truck - tasteful items, not tacky.”

“The ladies and happy belly were fantastic, we visited this cute little place during my birthday well on our beach trip. They have fantastic service and great ice cream. And a plethora of candy for the kids as well as souvenirs. You will leave here with a very happy belly. Thanks again for the birthday wishes I really did appreciate that. You guys gave me a smile at the end of a great day.”

“We got smoothies, they were fantastic however good thing to note if you don't get ice cream or yogurt added it's a little tart. Cool place with awesome truffles, little decor items, n chocolates.”

“Literally went every day during a 5 day vacation. We were 200 yards up the road. Friendly staff, great menu and quality treats. Cute shop with lots of flavors and a great menu. They work fast and are eager to take your order and start building your treat.”

“Staying in Hatteras for spring break after dinner one night the family wanted to go get some ice cream. Driving around town we saw this little ice cream shop so we decided that we would go give it a try. We rolled up around 8 p.m. on a Thursday night and there were two young ladies working inside. We rolled in with a crew of seven and kind of filled up the joint since there were no other people there. They had about 14 or 16 flavors you could choose from and with some unique flavors. They let all of us try a couple of different ones with those little tiny spoons so we can find something that we liked. We got a number of different waffle cones, one of my niece's got a shake and then my wife got a banana split. Everything we're great portions the Banana Split was humongous they put a cherry on top but when our kids tried to swipe it we ask them if we could get a few more and they gave us four or five extra cherries so we all can have one, which was very sweet of the girl. Really dig the logo of the place. Inside they have quite a large of selection of merchandise you can purchase from stickers two hoodies and t-shirts. They also have a small candy store with all kinds of different Willy Wonka type goodies you could get. They have an outdoor seating area kind of enclosed Deck with some stools and tables and they're also the peered to be a number of picnic tables outside. We're only in town for another day or so but I'm sure we'll go back and get some more ice cream from them it was very delicious!”

“Cute little ice cream shop. I wish they had more dairy free options, but I still enjoyed my mango sorbet in a waffle cone. The rest of our party really enjoyed their cones as well. Would definitely recommend.”

“I love when an establishment can hold true to its name. Happy Belly Ice Cream did exactly that. I now have a happy belly after trying the 'Gooman' smoothie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum yum! I look forward to going back several more times throughout our stay on Hatteras. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The facility was very clean. In addition to the ice cream there was a lot of other options and candy to choose from. Saw some packs of Big League Chew which took me back to some great baseball days as a kid. Highly recommended you stop here. Well done. 5 stars.”

“This is a great place to stop for something cold whether it's ice cream, milkshakes or smoothies. The choices are numerous and they have the counter where they have the food separated well from the customers. They do sell t-shirts and also have quite a candy selection as well as drinks in the fridge by the door for purchase. We had smoothies and they were delicious! They have screened in seating outdoors which has a nice breeze. Great place to stop on a hot day and will be back!”

“Checked out this popular place while visiting Hatteras Island. Fun vibe with helpful friendly staff. Lots of good places to sit (especially the wrap around covered porch) and watch the sunset while eating an ice cream cone! I had blueberry crumble, which was very creamy with lots of blueberries and chunks of "crumble." My daughter had yummy moose tracks in a waffle cone. Sorry I couldn't add any photos of ice cream ... we were too busy enjoying it to remember to take a photo!”
