Scoop

Tasty gelato, reasonably priced (4£ for a small, 2 flavors). Tried their original green tea and coffee flavor… a bit sticky when eating it though, which made me think it was a bit old…(?)
Regardless, if you’re looking for a quick place to get dessert around ‘the seven dials’ area, scoop could be an option.

Nice, good icecream, especially the matcha flavor, which most Icecream shops around here don’t offer. (Big fan of matcha so yeah) The portion was also nice. But well… I wouldn’t crave for the Icecream here if you know what I mean. So 4 stars.

The best Italian ice cream in London! Not too many flavors, but there is no need! Highly Recomended

It just so happens that on a stroll through central yesterday, I came across the other Scoop. Yay, direct comparison time!
So compared to the Scoop nearer Covent Garden, this one is a LOT bigger. It’s much easier to queue as you can actually get inside the shop, and browsing the flavours is easier as well because of it.
But in terms of everything else, it’s exactly the same. Same delicious salted caramel and chocolate ice cream, same cone, same slowish service and same flavours, waffles and crepes on offer. Pretty interchangeable.
The one thing I will say is that if you’re in Central and want to go to Scoop, this store is easier to get to and quicker as you don’t need to walk through the mayhem that is Covent Garden to get to it. I’ll be back!

Need to taste «Lampone» ice cream! delicious!!!

The portions are huge. I got a small and could not finish it.
It was okay. I got the dark chocolate (very dark, be warned) and the cheesecake (which was delicious) but I was disappointed after all the hype.
The cone was ehhh at best.
My advice? head to Gelupo down the street.

This place has an amazing selection of flavours. Ice cream was good — especially the salted caramel and coffee. The portions are very large.

Best ice-​cream in London. I prefer this shop to the other Scoops that are available, as in the summer you can wander up to Golden Square with your purchase and enjoy the few hours of sunshine in the way the gods intended. It is worth the queues and often goes very quickly. If you are going alone or as a couple you might be lucky enough to get a table and I can recommend the pancakes. However if you are in a larger group it is better to keep your order simple with either a pot or a cone.
For value for money get a pot, the scoops are bigger and less ice-​cream dribbles onto your hand, but the chocolate and nut covered cones are to die for.

Great gelato. Great bubbly service. The passion fruit was definitely from real passion fruit – sour, sweet, slightly bitter, great texture. The scooper recommended what she called cookies and cream, which was called biscotto. Nothing like American cookies n cream, it was sweet milk ice cream with some sort of chocolate ganache and chocolate biscuit cookie. It pays to ask the workers their personal favorite.

*Heeeeeeeeeead Freeeeeeze*
…but the gelato is so good, I’m sure I can cope with another small bite…
*Heeeeeeeeeead Freeeeeeze* Oops…
So, I really liked my raspberry sorbet + cheesecake flavoured gelato, but it isn’t always a good idea to eat something this lovely (and cold) on a chilly evening in November. Ah well… it made my head hurt, but I still really enjoyed it!
£4 is pretty expensive for the smallest sized serving, but meh– we’re in soho, so I suppose that is pretty standard.

good and creamy gelato! YAMY!

Delicious gelato. Very reasonable prices considering how much gelato they stuff into a cup/​cone. Excellent assortment of flavors and toppings! This place has helped me gain an extra 5 pounds.

Possibly the best gelato I’ve ever had. There, I said it. I had the dark chocolate sorbet and mint on a cone. Absolute perfection together. The cone itself tasted homemade and very fresh– not the boxed variety that I’m used to eating at other gelato places. My brother got the coffee flavor and holy cow, best coffe ice cream/​gelato I’ve ever had. A bit bitter and just a hint of sweetness made it truly taste like coffee flavored gelato, and not sugary milky cream with a splash of coffee.
I really liked that out of all of the flavors we had, none of them were too sweet. Instead of making up for lack of taste with loads of sugar, it seemed like the main star was the flavors. Def give it a try.

Let’s get down to business, shall we? Time Out voted this little place the best ice cream in London but what do they know about anything? I’m sure you’d much rather know what a well qualified, highly trained, internet nobody like myself has to say.
I come to Soho a lot, don’t ask me why, perhaps it’s because I’m always in the Curzon or because being Chinese, I can’t stay away from Chinatown. For whatever reason, I always find that I’m in the area and I always find that I’m thinking about ice cream. So you see why I might be a seasoned Scoop-​scoffer.
When I first came here I was a n00b and had no idea what I was doing. I ordered a scoop of coconut and was immediately sent into a dairy and sugar induced coma from which I have yet to fully recover. This first visit I wasn’t brave enough to order the cioccolato extra fondente but on every visit since that first one, and I promise there have been many, I have made sure to order one scoop of CEF and one of coconut. They complement each other SO well that I have never considered ordering anything else. In fact I’ve walked out without buying a thing twice when they had no CEF in that day.
For those who might be lactose challenged, the CEF is a sorbet so don’t be afraid to try it and there will always be at least one other sorbet in the store if you feel like being double indulgent.
Don’t ask me about the cakes, waffles and crepes though. Ice cream is where it’s at. If you’re dining in the area, maybe think about skipping dessert and just grabbing one on the go from here, they’re open until 10pm on most days.

Oh, dear. So many flavours! MUST-​TRY-​ALL!
Don’t mind my excessive sugar rush, I just really love Scoop. The ice cream is amazing and I can’t remember a time when I just went in and said «give me to scoops of this one». Oh no, I’d rather stand there, not knowing what to get, making the staff curious what was going on in my head. I give them that, they are patient.
If you’re in for a treat, you surely won’t be disappointed by this one.

Scoop has reliably good gelato. I paired pineapple and hazelnut (I now the word in Italian for hazelnut, which seemed to impress the server. I am strongly committed to learning food words in foreign languages) which as a combination makes no sense but they were both delicious and i have NO REGRETS. Mango sample was also good. Overall though, I think Gelupo is still the winner in this part of town.

Fantastico! The gelato was creamy and incredibly flavorful. I had the biscotto and coconut combination — what a great combo. After we finished, my wife said she could have had 3 cups of this. That would have been the large cone :)
If you want an excellent gelato, you really need to eat here.
4.5 stars in my opinion. I really wish we had half stars.

Churros are tasty, and the sorbet is even better. Super creamy (yet vegan), and a big list of flavours to choose from. My favourites are melon and lemon. Desperate to try the peach and pear.
I love this place!

Odd little place — totally deserted (pun intended) when we went on a Wednesday morning for a coffee. Amazing looking ice cream, but NO BLOODY SKIMMED MILK! Not even semi. :-(I immediately mark places down for only having full-​fat milk, it’s not like I am looking for unsweetened virgin almond soya milk that has been blessed by monks. Most people drink semi-​skimmed, why can’t places even cater for that? It’s like they have a brand image and no amount of customer needs can change that.
Sorry, got carried away on a rant there… the cookie we shared was bigger than my head and very sweet, but jolly nice. Would have been better with coffee made with skimmed milk though…

Dammit, why? Why must there be good gelato everywhere I go? This is the reason I’m working so hard at the gym these days because I can’t refuse gelato.
IT. IS. SO. GOOD.
Especially with 2 scoops. On a freshly made waffle. Ooooohhhhh. I’m never getting fit at this point.

Es una heladería sensacional, todos sus helados riquísimo y la atención e sus empleados, son un amor.
Es un lugar para recomendar, ya que en invierno, aparte de sus excelentes helados, se puede degustar riquísmos postres y tortas con un delicioso café. Abre todo el año

Definately the best ice cream I’ve had in London and probably a more than reasonable contendor for the perfect gelato-​experience around the globe. Whatever you desire, you’ll get it there.
Scoop’s gelato is a package of awesomeness. While all the natural ingredients make you worry less, the fruity sorbets, chocolate-​nuts combinations and especcialy pistachio are one of their kind.
The price-​range is moderate and reasonable and the staff are heartily and welcoming.
