The staff was kind and asked if we would like samples. My sisters and I ended up with flavors such as early grey, raspberry, chocolate Nutella and brownies and cream. The ice cream was delicious and soft, plus the texture reminded me gelato! We sat inside and chatted while enjoying our ice cream. Great experience and definitely looking to return!

This was a treat for us after dinner a few weeks ago. They are located down town Columbia. If you…read morego in the evening, keep in mind parking is crazy. The shop is cozy small, the decor was really cute. They did have a few seats for guest to enjoy. I had the pumpkin and buttercreme waffle cone. The portion size was good for the price. For me the flavor was just ok, I was expecting it to be a bit sweeter. The flavor was off for me. I would give them another try. I love supporting local places.

Wear hats if super hot and sunny and consider eating in your car if windy. You line up at the order window and you will need to read their menus before you can really order. There are cones and dishes, pints and quarts, sundaes, hurricanes, shakes, and pops (ice cream on a stick). Waffle cones and bowls. Will blow your decision-making brain. The have over 100 flavors but only have out at any given time about 48 of them. Wife and I love the 4 scoop sampler. Order four different flavors each of them are in a slightly smaller size of dipper/scooper. A great way to dive into those many flavors. I could not find prices, but my recent receipt for a small dish was $4.50. Their ice creams are wonderful. You need to check this place out. Good, old-fashioned delicious ice creams.

We used to love this place. Service has become so inconsistent and we won't be back anymore:…read more - more times than not a large is the same as a small - clearly lazy workers - flavors with candy or brownie are either overloaded or too sparse - online ordering is not updated with current flavors nor hours - workers avoid making eye contact when you arrive at window for a pickup order and you have to practically flag them down and knock on the window - refused to help my husband when he called to place a pickup order while he was at work and had no access to the online ordering app

We had some questions and she answered as best she could but really not helpful other than saying everything was good. I decided to go with the Snickers late.

Good spot for a quick cup if in a rush but there are other places I would rather go.

I love coffee, omg please try out their coffee flavor. We already tried almost all their flavor ice cream including the special flavor for holidays. We came cross country from West coast to East coast for The Local Scoop, yep because we never find The Best homemade ice cream at the West Cost like The Local Scoop!!! Like, even we took our family and friends from around the world to come try their ice cream. I have sister from China she doesn't like sweet, when I told her that we will take her to try out an ice cream. She kind of doubt to go. But after she tried she was super happy and said: wow I want another one We took her back right the way the next day and she tried two flavor right the way at that time (look not a big fans of sweet person able to enjoy ) If you never try, please give it a try and we guarantee will not disappoint you at all. You can come enjoy the cute downtown Matthews and get The Local Scoop ice cream or you can go to enjoy the Ballantyne with The Local Scoop ice cream too since they have it in both locations. All the workers or servers are very friendly, young and nice. The owner has integrity and easy going. Note: love it "we proud to support local businesses."

The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, and I really appreciated how careful they were about peanut allergies when going over the menu.

The ice cream was super creamy, and the cookie was warm, heat-pressed, and delicious. This place completely exceeded my expectations.

She handed us a pencil-written menu on a piece of copy paper and apologized that "Momma hadn't finished it yet," which means the menu varies daily.

There is plenty of parking in the plaza and tables both inside and out where you can enjoy your treat! We tried the cinnamon toast crunch and butterfinger, and both were exactly what you would expect! They have quite a few flavors to pick from, so I will definitely need to go check out some of the others. Prices are very reasonable with a small at $4, medium at $6 or a pint at $10. They also have a loyalty card and punch a hole for every order. Once you fill the card, you get to spin the wheel and win a prize, anything from free ice cream, t-shirt, hat, or even a stuffed puppy (Hank). Unfortunately, Hank was not there today, but just another reason to go back! The employees behind the counter were friendly and were cleaning and picking up between customers,keeping the place tidy. It's definitely a place to go and check out!
