Dear Scoops,
11 miles may not seem far, but in LA that's a world's away, especially in traffic. But damn, despite nearly 1000 reviews, how have I not been to you sooner?! I took my friends in and your staff happily let us sample all of your flavors. Cheap, you can split 2 flavors in your decently portioned "scroop". My new favorite place for ice cream, ANYWHERE, here is my quick rundown:
Banana Oreo - Some guy swooped in and took whatever was left of this but I still got to get a sample to of what was left. My god, this was good.
Apple Pie - DAMN, a whole pie in your mouth every bite? This definitely will overwhelm your tastebuds ina good way
Chocolate Jim Bean - As the name suggest, you can taste the whiskey in the chocolate and it works oh so well.
Black Sesame Peanut Butter - Damn, its a smoother and a tad lighter tasting peanut butter. 3/5 of us got this, good!
Chocolate Rasberry - Pass, meh. Just didn't click at all and too tarty for my liking.
Bread Pudding - Wasn't digging this at all, but if you like bread pudding please go on ahead.
Caramel Oreo - I didn't really taste much of either, pales to Banana Oreo.
I'll definitely go out of my way for you now, across the concrete jungle of LA.

LOVE LOVE LOVE SCOOPS.
Firstly, their one scoop is actually two-- very generous with portions for only $2.75. And I do not believe there is a limit to how many samples you can try. Oh and refills are $1.75. haha. cute huh? ALSO. you can get two different flavors, one scoop each. :))
Secondly, the variety of flavors changes but I'm pretty sure they're all good. I went around 8-9PM on a Saturday night and the "popular" flavors were pretty much gone. And sadly they didn't have more in the back to refill the containers-- which this is a good sign meaning it is as fresh as gelato can get. hehehe, in my opinion at least. Anyways.. I tried the pistachio, guinness chocolate, brown bread, green tea, spiced pumpkin and blueberry. They were all pretty good except the spiced pumpkin was a little awkward.. and the blueberry was kind of bland. But everything else was delicious!!
It seems like it's in the middle of nowhere but it was pretty crowded. Not too crowded where you're like "screw it." But definitely one of those places you should try when you're in LA. sooo goood!
Mmmmm... toasted rice and goat cheese. Yes, seriously. The flavors at this ice cream shop are definitely unique and innovative, give them all a taste. All ice cream flavors deserve a chance.
That said, if they have toasted rice and goat cheese - give it a taste. It may sound gross, but it's one of the most exciting flavors I've had in a while.
The parking is a little tough and lines will vary depending on time. Scoops isn't the hugest store so lines may be going out the door, but do not be dis-heartened, you will be rewarded when you're holding that single scoop of ice cream goodness.
Before you go up to the counter, know what you want to taste. The workers will get a little annoyed at you and at times ignore you if you seem fickle.
I finally made it to Scoops. I have been on a quest to try weird ice cream and sadly have only been to Humphrey Slocombe in San Francisco. At Scoops, the staff is really friendly. I chatted with the woman serving ice cream for a while, apparently she also really likes the Bay Area. Nothing like bonding over tales of Oakland with ice cream. I tried the chocolate wasabi (spicy but went well with the dense fudginess of the dark chocolate), coffee coconut (creamy coconut and coffee cannot go wrong), blackberry and sour cream (the sweetness of the berries paired with a tart creaminess, tasted like a berry cheesecake), and a bunch of other weird ones I can't remember. Ice cream was awesome, loved that they had several soy options for us lactose intolerant, I usually torture myself and get the full cream still because it is SOO good. Definitely will come again :D
Scoops already has 912 reviews, so why not one more?
I had the brown bread and the chocolate guinness. That seems to be a pretty common combination of flavors, according to Yelp. I was just glad to have gone at a time other than an hour before closing when all the best flavors were already taken. This time, going early on a Friday afternoon proved profitable. However, to talk about the gelato at Scoops seems redundant and superfluous--yes, it's good, great even, with unique flavors that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else--what strikes me most about Scoops is how far it's come.
I remember the days, way back when, when Scoops just opened. Back then the area was SCUZZY: there was no such thing as "Hel-Mel," there was major construction on Heliotrope, no Pure Luck across the street, the Bicycle Kitchen had just opened, the cafe next door was still called Night in Tunisia, and Tai barely ever had any customers in his quaint gelato shop.
But that was a long time ago, and in the intervening years, it's been a thrill to see just how popular Scoops has gotten, to the point of having an entire neighborhood built up around it. Tai is definitely doing something right. Viva Scoops!
Okay, so I guess I didn't do my research before coming here, and didn't get 2 flavors even though I could have. Doh!
I tried vanilla coffee and green tea almond, and liked the green tea better, so I just got a "scoop" of that. You definitely get a lot of gelato for your money. I wish someone had told me I could get 2 flavors for 2.75 - next time, next time.
I will definitely be back. Oh, and I thought it was really odd that on google maps this place is listed as "closed"... rest assured fellow yelpers, it's definitely not closed. (I was just here last night) Someone must be playing a cruel joke on Scoops.
Loved it!
I got the one scoop (which is actually 2) for only $2.75. There are sooo many awesome flavors to pick from! (i.e. raspberry plum wine, lavender honey) :D
I settled with the pumpkin eggnog and Guinness chocolate- both very delicious.
I LOVED how they had containers out with cute sprinkles that we could help ourselves to! Their spoon mobile was super cool and the "antisocial corner" got a chuckle out of me. :)
Went there last night and had caramel banana on top of oreo cheesecake. As I was tasting the luscious oreo cheesecake, that it dawned on me suddenly that this was the ice cream verson of an old fashioned ice box cake! How awesome is that?
Cherry Triple Sec + Marscapone Oreo = Pure Love
The 800+ reviews pretty much covered all the nooks and crannies of this humble lil ice cream shop.… Read more »
This place is amazing! As others have mentioned, one scoop is pretty much two scoops, and the scoops are HUGE. If you want two flavours in one "scoop," ask and you shall receive. I got the guiness chocolate and the brown bread, simply because there were no other appetizing choices (I don't know what was up with that... maybe it was a bad night?). I also sampled the blueberry lemongrass (bland), green tea (really yummy), and pistachio (also yummy). My choices were by far my favourites, though. The ice cream wasn't too heavy or sweet, but it wasn't too icy either. I'll definitely go back to check out more flavours.
This is a place I ventured out to find after reading awesome reviews on Yelp.... I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
The ice cream has the consistency of ice milk (remember those?) and is light and airy. Even though I am not vegan, I was impressed with the amount of vegan selections! I ended up getting a scoop of the Earl Grey Chocolate and the Salty Caramel... pure heaven!
On side note - read the street parking signs carefully, unless you don't mind getting an expensive ticket! Thanks to the kind construction guys across the street who helped prevent me from getting one! Me, the out-of-town gal.
I'll be back, with so many more flavors to sample!
I might be 2000 and late considering the sheer number of posts this little ice cream shop already has. But whatever.
I heard they had black sesame flavor here. I almost cried when I found out they didn't have any on the day I chose to visit. Then I almost cried after I tasted the 5 or 6 flavors. Between tasting almond, pistachio honey, blueberry black tea, toffee, brown bread, I was zomg-ing for all the flavors and how fresh and unique they tasted. It wasn't too sweet. It was flavorful. It was bliss.
A word to the wise and dieting, one scoop is like 3 scoops packed into a cup. So. Maybe you'd better get the kid's size.
EffF yo couch and your momma sitting in it. I'll be calling daily until they have black sesame. And then, I shall be back.
I had the Lavender Honey and Brown Bread. My boyfriend, the Jasmine Chocolate with Cinnamon Coffee.
The next day I came back, and I had a scoop of the Blueberry Port with Pistachio Lemon.
Today I'm going to have four scoops of something because: 1. I'm feeling the growing appetite for Scoops, and 2. Their incredibly delicious and ever changing flavors are not encouraging me against it.
* one scoop means two? Two scoops means four??!! I'm in love with your serving amounts.
o. m. g.
That's pretty much what I can say.
Since my boyfriend moved to Norwalk a couple months ago, I literally haven't been to this place in maybe six months or more, guess I was lucky when my boyfriend needed to go to L.A. for something and Scoops was along the way.
The place is way cuter than I remember it to be, the staff is super friendly like I remembered. The flavors they had today was just WOW. I was in love, every flavor I tried was great.
I asked for one scoop in a cup, and they literally gave me two scoops. The cups were cute too, I ended washing the cup and I'm now using the cup as a water bowl for my new puppy when we go out. The awesome thing about this place is that the ice cream isn't too sweet, and one ingredient doesn't overpower the other.
What I also love is the fact that they have a "flavor suggestion board." People sure are creative, I wonder how "hot Cheetos cheesecake" would taste like. (:
Went here because I love ice cream and I am friends with many a vegan. I've been twice and tried some non-veg chocolate jasmine, brown bread, and salty vanilla. All were amazing and somewhat unexpectedly delicious. Really top notch ice cream. Probably the best I've ever had honestly.
I tried 4 different vegan flavors (sharing with friends) and they were way better than regular vegan ice cream. Don't get me wrong- I like Cuties and everything.. but this was different. The maple was overwhelmingly good. Banana oreo.. wow. And getting two scoops as the small size for that cheap is the best. It feels like I'm in 2nd grade again, buying ice cream behind the school at Do Me A Flavor back in NJ. There is that much excitement involved.
Darn it! I didn't love it all this time! It was very blah....not creamy... totally uninspired.
I'd come back once more, maybe it was an off day!
I have said it before and I will say it again...Yelp has never steered me wrong. We came to Scoops… Read more »
Great ice cream! I am a fan of the Peanut Butter and Marsala Wine flavor.
Yelp saved the day with this one...a very hot day and long drive to LA from SD had us feeling drained. We needed I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M. Refusing to waste calories on a cold stone or other chain, we went on a cyber search.
Scoops feels special, the way ice cream shops did as a kid. Inventive flavors, friendly service, gourmet taste and ingredients. It's dairy heaven. Plus it's next to some cool bike shops. Biking and ice cream cones. Doesn't get better than that.
I went to Scoops the other night and was really glad that the police didn't pull us over to check our Blood-Ice Cream-Levels. (BICLs) If I were a policewoman that night, I'd pull us over -- we were totally under the influence of Malt Jim Beam and Chocolate Guinness. I'm sure we were way over the legal BICL level.
Luckily to sober up, I also had Brown Bread. It's totally my trick to sobering up after a long night of Alcohol-flavored ice cream. Because lemme ya, at Scoops...the bowls/cones are super stiff. If you ask for one scoop, they give you TWO. For just $2.75. It's virtually happy hour there ALL the time. But, if you feel like being a cheap date, just hand them a dollar and they'll let you sample to your heart's content.
But, if you're not into alcohol or bread, I highly recommend the Salty Chocolate. Sounds disgusting, but it's that sweet + salty kind of good.
"I. Want. You. NOW!"
That was what I was thinking when I first laid eyes on all the glorious ice cream Scoops had to offer. In fact, I wanted to skip dinner at Pure Luck and just have dessert. Good thing I didn't b/c Pure Luck is really good. Anyway, after dinner Marthie D. and I walked across the street and ordered ourselves a serving (which comes with TWO scoops) of Scoops' famous ice cream. We were told that not all the flavors are prepared everyday so if we want something we better grab it. The worker's good advice was taken. We had a blast shoveling ice cream into our mouths with the tiny plastic spoons (I don't know how we managed to get so much ice cream onto those babies) and before we knew it, everything was gone. Mmm, it was a really satisfying (and inexpensive) evening!!!
Well here goes my first Yelp review. And it is quite fitting that there is ice cream involved. Before I moved to Los Angeles, I ate a bowl of ice cream everyday, usually mixed with some kind of candy or cake. I thought that once I moved outta the D, I would not be able to get my ice cream fix like I used to. I was wrong. I moved into a house that is right across the street from Scoops. What are the chances??
Anyways, let's get right to it. The ice cream is fantastic. Many different flavors to choose from everyday, and there always seems to be quite a few new flavors everyday as well. That alone will keep ya coming back to see what they will come up with tomorrow. And the flavors are..."out of this world!". Yes, I said it in my first review: "out of this world!"
Flavors you couldn't even imagine. It's like the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory of ice cream shops, sans the umpa-lumpas. The prices are reasonable, and there is seating, indoors and outdoors, so you can hang out and enjoy your scoop.
If you even live remotely near this place, it is worth the adventure to come on down and eat some of their ice cream. Who knows? You might see me there, and maybe I'll buy ya a scoop!
Damn! I slacked this summer! I have been to Scoops a bunch of times-- including a Sunday evening when a friend took over Scoops for a private birthday party-- but I never got around to updating my review. Doh!
Ok, so here are my last two visits... crammed into one update.
The first (or the two) was with my buddy Mykal, who is currently the Mayor of Scoops at foursquare. We had gone there after an AYCE KBBQ meatfest and somehow still managed to cram some Scoops down. My flavors that night were loquat + lychee and blueberry + triple sec. Yum. At that time, one of the freezers was broken so there were only half the selection of flavors to choose from. (We ran into the old Scooper Peter there that night, too)
Last night, Yoshi and I swung by Scoops on the way home from having ramen (Daikokuya) in Monterey Park. When we got there, we texted ProfEric & JD, who said they'd meet us there w/ guests! (The boys had just returned from Gay Days at Disneyland and were still wearing their bright red shirts). Collin was there scooping w/ his gal. Oh, yes. The broken freezer was fixed!
I got: Vegan hazelnut banana & loquat + white wine sorbet
Yoshi got: Mint + Jim Beam & Caramel + Toffee
No Tai sighting either time, though.
Despite this year's June Gloom, we are still heading into summer... which means it's SCOOPS WEATHER!… Read more »
I am currently eating two vegan flavors - Maple Caramel, and Chocolate Banana. I am not vegan. This place is tops in my book. Take a trip over here after going to Pure Luck across the street.
As the 879th reviewer of this place I don't think there's much I can add. They have the most amazing array of flavors. I got the Goat Cheese with Figs and Pistachio Jasmine. Peanut Butter Oreo looked good as well as the Malt Whiskey. It's probably the densest and creamiest ice cream in LA. No air fluffing this stuff up.
If you want to try a flavor before ordering just ask and they'll give you a mini spoonful.
It's best to get there earlier in the day to have the best selection. When they run out of a flavor they're out and who knows when the next time they'll make it.
They have a board to the side where customers can suggest flavors. I'm a big fan of Taro so Chocolate Taro ice cream sounds amazing to me. Let me know if they ever make it.
Conveniently located next to the 101 freeway in the Hel-Mel Bike District of Los Angeles, Scoops ice cream shop serves the BEST ice cream in the city.
These dairy scientists experiment with unlikely flavors that dance in your mouth like a well-choreographed ballet and play an important role in the evolution of ice cream. They push the envelope by challenging the same run of the mill flavors that have existed forever with new innovative concoctions.
Using non-traditional ice cream ingredients such as saffron, olive oil, cardamom, black sesame, and a variation of teas to flavor their custards, Scoops has paved the way for a new breed of ice cream shops.
The eclectic flavors change daily and are like a beautiful acid trip, an introspective exploration of quality ingredients and endless flavor combinations that will lead you to question you life.
Very friendly staff that make excellent recommendations and I would suggest to all the ice cream fiends to take advantage of the $1.75 refills. I live on the other side of town and am here at least one a week, but it is never a wasted trip.
Highly Recommended
OK, I might also get lynched for this review but I am being honest. I had high expectations for Scoops since I have read about it and heard about it from Yelpers. I love ice cream and I am spoiled by them living in the Bay Area with top places like Bi-Rite, Ghiradelli, Humphrey Slocombe, Fenton's Creamery (featured in Up) and many more.
It was a warm day and I was excited to have some really good ice cream. When I went in, there was an empty freezer and hardly any flavors available. It was about 3pm and there were a few people inside. I sampled several flavors such as Thai Ice tea with mascarpone, olive oil vanilla, avocado melon, and finally settled on beet flavor.
Uhh, so when I got my cup, it was melting ridiculously fast. It was literally a soup and I wasn't outside, I wasn't in the hot sun. I was inside the shop which was air conditioned. How can the ice cream melt so fast? I noticed other customers' cups and theirs was melting profusely as well. Flavor wise, it was just a mish mash of blandness. It was not creamy and was quite bitter. All the flavors I tried was just too boring.
Maybe I went on a bad day but I read the reviews and noticed some people had the same experience with soupy ice cream and hardly any flavors. The combinations just don't cut it. Who the heck would mix olive oil and vanilla? It just had a really funky taste. Do these people taste their creations? I rather stick to my strawberry balsamic flavor at Bi-Rite in SF or get some awesome ice cream from Orange County's top spots.
By the way, where was the gelato? Did not see it and the shop is quite dirty as well. Sticky tables and floors and the grossest thing...black specks and weird things floating in their water dispenser...
The flavors are good but it's too icy for my taste. When I eat ice cream I prefer it creamy.
Service is okay.
I don't really go there unless my friends drag me to...
Imagine my distress when I arrived to find that one of the ice cream freezers wasn't operating today. I had to make do. But making do at Scoops is still 8 times better than any other ice creamery.
I had the Fig-Goat Cheese and the Chocolate-Molasses.
Sometimes I get Scoops ice cream at Golden State Restaurant on Fairfax. It's more convenient for me, and a cool place to boot, but I find I'm much, MUCH, happier when I come into the ice cream store itself. It's a more pure experience.
Well with nearly 900 reviews and an average of 4.5 stars this place must be real good!??..........
Hmmmm well I must have caught them on a bad day because what I chose from the LIMITED selection they had was bad, I went in on a Saturday afternoon first time here and I find that they have TWO freezers that they keep the different ice cream flavors BUT.....ONE was broken!! so that now cuts your flavor selection in half, the ONE freezer that was working had space for about EIGHT flavors BUT.........they were already sold out of half of that, so I'm thinking that I basically got to chose from FOUR crappy flavors that don't sell as well.
None of the flavors that are available really appeal to me but I'm here so I'm going to try something!, OK...Peanut Butter, Nutmeg, Oreo, the Peanut Butter flavor was mild the Nutmeg really overpowered it and not in a good way, the ice cream tasted a little grainy and not smooth and silky as I expected it to be.http://www.yelp.com/bi...
I know this place has a 4.5 star rating but I can only base my review on what I had and those flavors really did not work together, sorry SCOOPS maybe you have better flavors but this one is a FAIL........
And bring CASH, as it's CASH ONLY....................
Bomb dot com gelato. Located really close to Vermont along Melrose, I've been to this place several times and I keep coming back everytime I have a sweet craving. Parking is metered right outside but if those are full, drive down Heliotrope for parking outside LACC, or there's a lot across from Scoops that I don't think you're supposed to park there, but I'm sure they don't enforce it.
Onto the gelato: two scoops (sold as "one scoop") for $2.75 with amazing flavors. They're totally lax about letting you try as many flavors as you want, and they're always rotating so go for even the weird ones. Some of my favorites have been of course, brown bread which I get everytime, lemon maple, pistachio jasmine (tastes like fruit loops!), pistachio fig (yummmm), and goat cheese something that I only tried but it was really rich and creamy. I have tasted some weird ones, but usually I stick with more traditional flavors for my two scoops but because they're so creative, they always have an added twist on them.
Don't go too late in the day or they'll probably have run out of ice cream!! And if you're ever in the area with some cash in your wallet, stop by for some sweet & creamy goodness :)
A few years ago, I had a friend that lived just off of Sunset who told me about a new Ice Cream spot that had opened up around the corner from LACC. It's a small artsy little corner spot right up the way from Melrose and Vermont...
Since I am a fan of good Ice Cream, we decided to get our skateboards out and skate down there to see what they had to offer. When I got there, I was overwhelmed by so many unique and interesting flavor combinations! I ended up tasting most of them and settled on the chocolate brownie, and Brown Bread....$2, what a bargain!
Mr. Kim makes his own ice cream every morning, so the flavor menu is always changing...you can also suggest new flavors if you are interested in something new. They are really generous about tasting, and you can try just about anything you want there...but my favorite still has to be the BROWN BREAD.
I have been to Scoops countless times, and never get bored of their ice cream. My only 2 complaints are that sometimes the good flavors run out, and sometimes the Ice Cream isn't cold enough so it melts too fast.
Go out and try,...I think you'll be hooked on Scoops like me!
The ice cream was not creamy and I can taste chunks of ice. The only thing good about scoops is the fact that he makes flavors that you would not regularly see at an ice cream shop.
This place is awesome! Staff is always mega-friendly and the gelato is amazing. You get free samples of whatever you want, and then pick a generous helping for your money. I'm particularly fond of the changing flavors; they change flavors often and there is always something new to try.
Also a great place to go for vegans! My gf is vegan and they have many delicious flavors with non-dairy as well. This is one of the few scoop shops where we can both enjoy a frosty treat.
Get some if you haven't Already!!!!
Been coming here for a long time now. Never written a review til now. Probably because I never needed to - all the reviews basically cover it already.
But I WILL give out a couple flavor recommendations (although really, just take advantage of the fact that you can taste test everything as much as you want before you buy).
My favorite combination is Brown Bread and Guinness Chocolate. The only probably is I've only had this combination once - the very first time I had Scoops. Guinness Chocolate is SO delicious, and although I've seen it a few more times since, I tend to come close to closing so I've never actually gotten the opportunity to have it again.
:( :( :(
Not to worry. I've never been disappointed by the other flavors that I've had to settle with, if you can call it settling.
I also love that they change the artwork on their walls occasionally. All local artists, I believe. Not always fantastic art, but always an interesting change.
AND, they have a white board where you can suggest flavors. Not sure if they actually use it for inspiration, but it's a nice touch.
Still, the best part about this place is that its reasonably priced, absolutely delicious ice cream/gelato. And if you haven't tried it yet, you're seriously behind the times and should get on it. Seriously!
Oh-my-goodness-gracious-great-balls-of-fire!
Someone needs to send the fire department to this place, because it's on fire!! And I mean on FIIIII-YAHHH!!!
Okay I came here to kill two birds in one stone: a vegan joint across the street (Pure Luck) and this awesome place. I first found out about Scoops via a mobile picture my friend took on Facebook. It was her and an ice cream cone of Thai Iced Tea. "WTH?! Thai Iced Tea?! You HAVE to tell me where this is!!" She warned me that there were different flavors every day, so I might just NOT get a taste.
I went there, HOPING, WISHING, WANTING Thai Iced Tea. But was there any? No :( The ice cream gods were not in my favor... or so I thought.
The lady across the counter told me to try as much as I wanted since I informed her it was my first time. There was Pomegrante Dragon Fruit, Green Tea Chocolate, Hazel Nut Coffee, Strawberry Lychee, Banana Coconut. Oh dear, the ice cream gods did not let me down. It was SO hard to pick just one. The lady across the counter noticed us (May W., my other friend, and I) drooling over everything and told us that ONE scoop is actually TWO scoops.. AKA I can get two flavors. "THANK YOU ICE CREAM GODS!" I guess it all makes sense because one scoop would go against their name. So I got my Strawberry Lychee and Banana Coconut.
That Strawberry Lychee tasted just like strawberry lychee and that Banana Coconut was like dessert heaven to gorillas and chimpanzees. And if I was a chimpanzee, you'd hear me saying "Ohh ah ah ah," to the ice cream gods! Before I paid my $2.75, I managed to sprinkle some free confetti sprinkles on top. FREE?! Yes, free sprinkles from confetti, chocolate and rainbow.
As we devoured our ice cream, we took some pictures and noticed a cute pink corner to sit at. Little did we know that it was the "Anti-social Corner." How did we know that? There was a tiny sign in that corner saying so. It must be there so people can eat their ice cream in peace, because that ice cream needs all the attention it can get.
GREAT and I mean GREAT, FRIENDLY service and awesome ice cream. You can definitely find me here again :)!
Crazy flavors--with new flavors every day--make me love this place.
However, the snarky unmotivated staff needs a kick in the pants. You work at the best ice cream place in LA guys & gals, could you crack a smile?
Also, what's with not stocking brown bread ice cream anymore? That's like Bi-Rite in SF running out of salted caramel.
There's not much left to say. It's amazing. Everyone loves it. Those who don't are like, "The line is too long." That's because it's so f-ing delicious. They let me try something like 8 flavors before I settled on "lavendar chocolate" and "Guiness chocolate."
And I love that you can get a "refill" if it turns out one scoop is not enough.
Great service, cute atmosphere. Did I mention it costs less than $3?! It's Cash Only, but who can't scrape $2.75 out of their couch cushions? Well, not me. Because I have a futon. But I'll hit an ATM for this place.
This has all been said before in the 900+ previous reviews. Just do yourself a flavor and believe the hype.
Yummy Yummy YummY!!! Beware of Xtra large portions! I tasted about five flavors then finally settled on the citrus lychee! It was so yummy. I never eat more than a scoop or two but true to the name they give you scoopSsss. (meaning about 4 in one adult portion. ) And surprisingly finished the whole thing all on my own. Can't wait to go back to try other flavors. =D
It ain't easy making unusual ice cream flavors taste good. But at Scoops, making weird flavors taste amazing is business as usual.
I had the Brown Bread, White Tea White Chocolate, Vanilla Malt, Hazelnut Orange Oil, Ginger, and Green Tea Honey. The only one I didn't care for was the Ginger. I love ginger, but the Ginger ice cream here was really overpowering. If you do get Ginger, get it alone, as it will invade the other flavors otherwise. The rest were great, but the most amazing ones were Brown Bread, Vanilla Malt, and Green Tea Honey. Brown Bread had a great combination of what seemed like vanilla, brown sugar or vanilla extract, and Grape Nuts. I know, sounds weird, but it ends up working in both flavor and texture. Vanilla Malt is like eating a milkshake, which is always a good thing. The Green Tea Honey was a beautiful balance between the bitterness of matcha green tea and the subtle sweetness of honey.
All in all, these three scoops were out of this world. So grab your kids, get in your car, and get the latest scoop.
GET: Brown Bread, Vanilla Malt, Green Tea Honey
There are seriously over 800 reviews of Scoops? No wonder.. it is so effing delicious. So many unique flavors to choose from.. the shitty thing is, I'm gluten-free so I can't eat the Brown Bread which I hear is quite the flavor to try.. but all the other ones I've had have been bomb.
They have lots of vegan options (I'm sure as hell not a vegan, but if you are, this is the place to go) as well as weird, crazy flavors that sometimes sound utterly disgusting but turn out to be scrumptious. I think the fact that there are 800 reviews of this place means something..... hence, my review is kind of useless and unnecessary.
