Four Cousins Ice Cream

Four Cousins is the homemade ice cream shop next door to Larry’s Deli-Que at the south end of Topsail Beach, run by the same family. New flavors appear in the case regularly alongside the classics, and the porch makes a nice spot to eat a cone.

What stands out

Unusual, well-made flavors are the recurring praise, and some visitors return night after night to see what’s new. The owner likes to explain how each flavor is made and what’s coming next, and staff happily hand kids a sample while they decide. Butterfinger, cookie butter and Blondie Crunch are among the flavors visitors have named.
