Scoops Ice Cream

We live right down the street from Scoops, which makes going there hard to resist. It’s a seasonal ice cream shop with unique ice cream flavors. Every flavor that I have had so far has been good. They also sent out coupons in the mailers for buy one get one, and we love a great deal!

Good ice cream with interesting flavors. The waffle cones are really good & they have dipped waffle cone options too.

Awesome cheap ice cream. Ya? But one problem, tiny cups for water. SHOT SHOTS of water???

Oh, how I wanted to like this place. It has charm. It has variety. It is local. But, alas, there also seems to be an issue with cleanliness as I found a HAIR in my ice cream. Barf. Never going back and I’d recommend you never try it.

It was too bad this place had awful service because the idea of an old-​fashioned ice cream store is really charming. I went here with my parents one evening after dinner (I’m an adult). My mother ordered the soft-​serve frozen yogurt they had, took one bite (when she took it out to the table) and told us it didn’t taste good, it tasted like it wasn’t good for consumption. My father took it back inside and discretely told the attendant it didn’t taste quite right. He then asked if we could simply swap it with another scoop of ice cream. We were told that once you take a bite, the store cannot do anything. So, our «fun evening» was thwarted by my mother’s nasty ice cream that the store refused to address. If you went to a restaurant, took one bite of your chicken and determined it tasted funny, you’d simply swap it out for something else. However, at a store with 20+ gallons of ice cream, swapping out one scoop is simply not that easy. Skip the charm and head to DQ or Culver’s, or drive to Izzy’s or Sebastian Joes. When a customer has a full cup of ice cream they can’t eat, pretty sure they’re not trying to scam you. We left the ice cream with the attendant and departed. Our ice cream adventure was disappointing and this business is operated poorly. Unfortunate service and management, which is surprising for a local business.

A nice little ice cream spot with some good flavors, though it is telling that they have Sebastian Joe’s ice cream. For my money, it makes sense to simply go to Joe’s which of course is divine.

Find another ice cream shop! Today my wife ordered the dreamcicle frozen yogart and it had a musty taste — perhaps the machine had not been properly cleaned out. We ask the employee if we could trade it out for something else and he said no as she had already taken a bite. PS how would she have know how it tasted had she not tasted it? And were they going to re-​sell it if she hadn’t? Pass it up and go elsewhere.

When I think of Scoop’s I recall my childhood. I’ve been coming here since I was very little and not much has changed about this place except the flavors, but that’s part of the charm. I came here again a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised that they had some more interesting varieties like honey ginger (unfortunately it was out so I didn’t get to try it) along with the classics like superman. The price is fairly reasonable, too, at 3.25 for a small cup.
I got the angelica, which has coffee and hazelnut in it. Definitely yummy, satisfying, rich and creamy! I eyed some of the other flavors but since they had chips and other things in them I couldn’t eat them due to my wisdom teeth being pulled out; they looked really good, though. I’ll definitely stop by again once I heal up.
Verdict: As I recall, it served up some great ice cream 10 years ago, and it still does!

This place has the best ice cream in town. It’s a little hard to find but it’s worth it.
