The Daily Scoop

There’s something kind of amazing about the fact that I’ve frequented this adorable ice cream shop at least 5 times and the owner has attended to me, each and every time.
In the heart of South Park off 30^th street and on the corner of Juniper, there is this charming ice cream and frozen yogurt store, offering over 15 homemade flavors and array of other candies and sweets.
A must try is the” velvet cupcake,” should you be so lucky as to walk in when there is one left. Also important to try are the homemade cones! The waffle cone. Nom!

Yummy, very friendly and very high quality ice cream in a charming old neighborhood. Local «Niederfranks» is delicious and this is a wonderful little shop with lots of character and excellent service.

Taste: aaaaaaaahhhhmmmazing, the way they’re able to translate an everyday drink such as «Thai Ice Tea» into «Thai Ice Cream» is absolutely Devine!!!
Experience: it’s such a quant place, with an authentic feel… Almost like you’ve traveled back into time to the 50’s but with an Italian feel!
Price: is a little expensive, but note you’re paying for handmade ice cream.

This is the ice cream place I always take my guests to when they visit me in SD. It’s a mom and pop shop with a good selection of ice cream that are rich and delectable. Whatever you do, don’t settle for a cup here. Get it in the waffle cone that they make in-​store.

Has the potential for a lot more. Ice cream is good but the shake we ordered was drown in milk and had no flavor. Never crowded though, so you never have a problem getting service

I am a resident of South Park, living one block away from this ice cream shop. My husband and I had a great dinner at Mazara, across the street, and wanted to support local business, and get our ice cream fix at the same time.
We walked in to Daily Scoop and were the only 2 people there. The girl with short blonde hair behind the counter was friendly, offering samples of flavors.
Then, 3 people came in. A woman with gray hair, and 2 other gentlemen. The lady with gray hair introduces her guests to the girl working, goes behind the counter, doesn’t say hello or acknowledge we exist, and proceeds to grab a sample stick, which looks like a popsicle stick, and sticks it into the ice cream container, then into her mouth, then immediately into the same ice cream container, and, with the same stick, takes out more ice cream and hands the sample to her guests. She then moves to another flavor, different stick, into the ice cream, into her mouth, back into the ice cream, handed to her guests.
I’ve assumed that this woman is the owner, but you would think that she would at least say hello to her patrons, or some sort of friendly thanks for coming here instead of 7 – 11 for dessert, or anywhere else for dessert. While she is, what looks to be, double dipping because she is the owner, I ask the girl behind the counter if the lady is double dipping. She says she isn’t, and that she flips the stick around. Meanwhile, one of the gray haired lady’s friends hears me ask and gives me dirty looks, like how dare I ask!
So, apparently, this lady walks in and grabs a stick with unwashed hand, dips into ice cream, put in mouth, dips stick that unwashed hand has touched into same ice cream and gives to a friend. Owner or not, you are contaminating the ice cream with your unwashed hands! This is food handler 101 basics!
The girl behind the counter says people don’t want to waste wooden sticks, so they flip them to be able to use one stick twice. Okay, I get that. No need to waste trees. But maybe gloves, or at the very least WASH YOUR HANDS! You just came in off the street for goodness sake!
All in all, the ice cream was good. I liked that it wasn’t artificially sweet and I was happy with the flavor. The girl behind the counter was nice and friendly. And, it’s nice that they finally take credit cards instead of cash only.
BUT, whoever the gray haired lady was should consider how her actions, whether owner or not, may look to a customer. Any person walking off the street, going behind the counter not washing their hands, should not be handling ice cream to accommodate her guests while neglecting the health of the general public. 3 stars because the ice cream is good. –2 stars for not washing hands.

Mmmm, I came here today after barely eating a horrible dinner across the street. :(I had the brownie Sunday with the macadamia toffee brownies. It definitely hit the spot. It’s such a cute little place with very friendly people. You can also try any of their ice creams, they will give you a little sample.
I guess the only downfall would be that the plastic spoon wasn’t strong enough for the ice cream in the cup. It kept bending over so I had to eat whatever was on top first, whipped cream, and ect. Which is fine, just wanted to eat the brownies at the bottom lol.
Also, from a pastry gal, I think it would be cool if they made their own whipped cream!
Other than that, I loved the ice cream. Love the area. And the toffee chunks in the macadamia toffee ice cream were to die for.

ALTHOUGH A HOLE IN A WALL THEY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!
Nice little mom and pop ice cream parlor! In the corner of this small street lies this hole in a wall. Looking at it from outside, I wasn’t too sure how they stayed afloat, but after spending minutes gawking at the various flavors I saw that they had regulars. A lot of parents enjoyed bringing their children in. The owners, or so I think, were really attentative, nice, interactive, and made the overall experience enjoyable. I saw the owners joking with the children, and it just touched my heart. Sure I was eating a $ 6.25 brownie bite, one scoop of ice cream, whip cream, with nuts in a cup that would have been an easy $ 3 at Cold Stone, but I had a blast from a past experience I never got to receive personally growing up.

Fantastic all natural ice cream place. The lady behind he counter was very helpful and let my kids taste quite a few options before the decided on what they wanted. We went here after a visit to the San Diego zoo. This was the perfect end to a great day at the zoo. Quality ice cream. Prices were reasonable and scoops were generous. Great little place.

I’ll start off by saying… AMAAAZING! My fiancé and I were the first customers today. We were greeted by the friendly man that works there. He even asked our music of interest to play in the shop while we devour our ice cream. I absolutely LOVE how they carry Neiderfranks home made ice cream. They had a variety of unique flavors, such as the red mint chip. My new current favorite (: Their waffle cones are also the best cones I have ever tried… oh, and did I mention they are home made? (; highly recommend this ice cream shop! 5 stars all the way.

DELICIOUS ICE CREAM!!! Bummed they didn’t have any cupcakes to sell — I guess their oven is out and they’re getting a new one. The owner (or so it appeared to be her) was there behind the counter along with another friendly lady.
You’ve got plenty of options of ice cream, ice cream sandwiches and cones! They even have ice cream treats for the doggies! Very cool I had a cup of the pistachio and my boyfriend had the cappuccino chocolate chip ice cream sandwich! So BOMB!
Cant wait to go back and try out more flavors!

Hubby wanted to find a local ice cream place to try/​support. I’m all about supporting our local small businesses, so we took a little detour and drove south to this place.
It’s a cute, small shop on the corner with a few tables inside. It’s dog friendly and they even make a special «dogscream»! The gals behind the counter were friendly and gave out samples. I was disappointed that they were out of the doggy ice cream. Poor Bitsy just stared at us :(
I got a scoop of butter rum pecan on a sugar cone and hubby got a scoop of pistachio in a cup. At $ 3.65 a scoop, the price is a bit high. I didn’t realize till later when I put my change away that they’d charged one of our single scoops as a double. I didn’t want to make a stink over 2.50, so I let it go, but why was it so hard to ring up two single ice creams?
I was also disappointed that the cupcakes were out. On a Saturday? That’s when people are out spending money, they should’ve been fully stocked with everything!
The ice cream was good and creamy but not the best. I’d check it out again if we were in the area. Let’s hope the have the dogscream and cupcakes next time.

This place has soooo many awesome flavors to pick from! They’re not the cheapest but definetely worth it, and they stay open a bit late so it’s great for a night craving. The staff that I encountered when I went last time could benefit from a bit less attitude, but overall a good experience due to the ice cream so I will definetely be returning :)

I had a sugar attack late one evening and frantically looked on Unilocal for the nearest ice cream parlor. Since Unilocal indicated that the parlor closes in 10 minutes when I checked the store hours. I was in my car and headed off in the direction of the parlor in a jiffy.
When I arrived, the store worker looked like he was ready to close; but was friendly and offered me advice on which ice cream to choose. Since it was a few minutes prior to closing time, I felt bad if I had asked to sample several flavors, like I normally do. Instead, I decided this time that I would choose my flavor on a whim and went with salted caramel. After scooping my ice cream, the store worker told me that the salted caramel is always soft because the salt prevents the ice cream from hardening. I was strickened by this information because when I get real ice cream, I want it to taste like real ice cream! Not one that has the consistency of soft serve.
Ice cream flavor was okay. I wished I was told about the consistency before I made the purchase.

3.5 out of 5 stars now.
The prices have gone up on cupcakes, unfortunately. Now, the small ones are $ 2.75 and the large ones are $ 3.75. This makes it not really worth the money to get the small cupcakes, because they’re now almost $ 3 (the price that the large ones used to be on cupcake discount day.) Plus, the ice cream is already pretty pricey.

Cute ice cream shop on the street corner! They don’t make their own ice cream. I think it’s from a company called Neiderfrank? It’s all natural, handmade ice cream. They have lots of flavors! I tried 3 samples and didn’t select any of them cause I didn’t know which to get! I ended up getting the Almond Joy. Vanilla ice cream with chocolate, almonds, and shredded coconut flakes! So yummy! They also have kids sizes which is just enough after a large dinner (:

Twas my 1^st time visiting this place! Not as creamy as I prefer my ice cream to be. Sampled quite a few flavors everything was good but nothing amazing. But they get kudos for being local and all natural & we liked that you could actually taste the salt in the salted caramel flavor!
Good but not great. Alas I’m still on the hunt for an ice cream place…

Service was friendly. The ice cream was just A-​OK to me. Nothing special. I appreciated that we could try as many flavors as we wanted before making our final decision. What really stood out is that the ice cream consistency is dense and crumbly (not smooth). And on top of that, they give you super flimsy spoons to eat your ice cream. We had the hardest time trying to scoop out the ice cream from our cup. It was very strange.
If we’re going to pay top dollar for specialty ice cream, you’d think The Daily Scoop would invest a little bit of money to buy better spoons for their patrons…

Today I was craving ice cream and today’s experience was HORRID! And as a person who has worked a lot of years in customer service I know that a first impression means a lot when bringing future customers.
The appearance of the store was really cute and sweet, however, their staff are not. I was not greeted on entrance… OK benefit of the doubt, there were about 3 people ahead of me but there was no organization involved. People were standing around just waiting for initiation from the staff member. Took about 7 mins to contact… remind you the place is SMALL…
Once I got the attention of the staff member I requested for a sample of just ONE of the few ice cream choices and then it happened. I was given a wooden popsicle stick that was hiding a SPLINTERED PIECE OF WOOD. Without knowing I put the ice cream in my mouth and was UNPLEASANTLY SURPRISED with a STAB to the tongue!!! You could imagine how upset I was… I mean I ran home just now to write this review and I’m not the type to complain.
You may ask why I didn’t say anything or why and stay to order after that. WELL… I had already came this far and couldn’t go back to my friends after I made them go on the mission with me.
And icing on the cake… they have a fee for using a credit/​debit card. Normally… that doesn’t bother me but after the whole experience I was over it.
I don’t plan on going back any time soon, the ice cream isn’t worth the HORRIBLE SERVICE.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now, and last night, I finally was able to.
After browsing the reviews and highlights, I really wanted to try the red mint chip ice cream. When I found out they didn’t have it last night, I was pretty bummed out.
They had about 15 different flavors to choose from. Nothing really popped out at me except Coconut Almond Joy.
Since I can never have JUST ONE scoop of ice cream, I went with Coconut Almond Joy, Chocolate Mexicano, and Chocolate Chip. Scoops were pretty big too!
It was pretty good ice cream, not the best I’ve had, but good. I could’ve eaten more, which is why I ate it on the car ride home, otherwise, I would’ve kept going back for seconds, thirds, fourths, ya know…
Then again, the fiancé couldn’t finish his ice cream, so it’s sitting at home in the freezer. I think I’ll eat it when I’m done writing this.
Oh and…
It’s cash only! So make sure you have some on hand.
