ICE CREAM REVIEW Espresso Oreo -- 5/5 Cookie Dough -- 5/5 Mint Chip -- 5/5 The Espresso Oreo was really good -- definitely recommend trying it!

Overall, great ice cream spot on the main street and we all really enjoyed our sweet treat!

You can get simple ice cream, cereal infused ice cream, milkshakes, and more. I decided to go for their signature item, the cereal infused ice cream. I got a vanilla base with cheese cake bits and fruity pebbles. It was absolutely delicious. I live nearby so walked over, but there are street parking spots in front. Do know when you walk in, it might take a minute to place your order. It's a super local place and the person who runs the front is usually next door. It's more of a takeout ice cream place. There is Clay park nearby to enjoy your ice cream at. My ice cream with tip came out to about $12. It was a huge serving too. As you can see from my menu photos, there are a lot of option to pick from. So if you're more of a captain crunch person or apple jacks, you're good. I highly recommend checking this tasty ice cream out.

Stopped by One Way Cream & Goodies while in town for a conference. With the large menu, it took us…read moreawhile to decide, but the owner was very patient and helped us choose. I built my own creation, topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It was so yummy, and it's definitely a large portion that you can share. Be prepared because there isn't a ton of seating, only a few barstools inside and two picnic tables outside, but it's not too large of an issue. My ice cream was so good that we can back the next day!

A respectable amount of flavor choices and most you don't see everywhere-I.e Lavender Honeycomb, Triple-berry Cobbler, and Key Lime Pie to name a few. Weren't feeling adventurous so we went with a chocolate truffle/coffee and a cookie dough/chocolate truffle-both small. Intense chocolate and truffle flavors and cookie dough was enjoyed also-delicious end to a meal and it paired nicely with the hot day. Friendly and engaged people behind the counter. Turns out Scoops is #26 on Yelps Top Ice Cream Shops list. We agree!

Scoop is a cute little neighborhood ice cream shop on Strawberry St. They have unique flavors so if…read moreyou're looking for the basic chocolate/vanilla, you should probably look elsewhere. They offer free samples of the flavors, which I recommend since the flavors are so different. Pricing is a bit steeper than other shops but the portions are generous. They only allow a couple parties in the shop at a time and don't have any indoor seating. There is a little seating outside but it's usually occupied. There's a small park about a block away if you're up for a short walk.

There are pints and quarts available for purchase in store. This location has plenty of seating inside and some outside under a covered patio.

I love gelato and so I was excited to hear about this place while I was in town…read more The store is large with plenty of seating, seemed to be a popular place and I'm sure it's popping in the summer. I was able to sample a few flavors when I got there.. one slid right off my taster spoon onto the floor :/ oops. The one scoop is pretty small, but I expect that with gelato. I do wish they had the small taster spoons to eat it with rather than the normal size spoon. Service was good but I felt like they were really questioning mine and my friends' decision to only get the smalls.

They should probably fix how the times show up so no one else gets confused. When you get there, you pick your flavors and mix-ins, grab an apron, wash your hands, and the instructor helps you get everything ready. Once your ice cream is mixed, it goes in the freezer, and while you wait, you get a four-scoop flight of their signature ice cream and a complimentary glass of wine if you're of age. Super cute little outing. The only thing I'd change is I wish the tasting came first. I had already made my ice cream when I tried the flight, and I would've liked to tweak my flavors after tasting. Nevertheless though, it was really fun and I'd totally do it again!

Today... today. They posted that that banana ice cream is back to which I replied "what??? Really?" Something to that effect. They read the message within a minute and did not reply. Within 10 mins I drove there to get it and it was "sold out". Twice now they've wasted my time. I fault whoever is behind the screen managing their social media. Scoop it is! Or anywhere else for that matter after that.

Here's the thing, I live well over an hour from the nearest jeni's and all of their cool flavors makes me want to drive up there often to try them. Especially since they don't offer those flavors at Whole Foods. The ONLY thing that sucks or is lacking is that there is NOWHERE for customers to sit or relax while eating their ice cream. It's actually weird because literally every other business in carytown has outdoor seating, even the smaller businesses next door have a table or two. But not Jeni's, which makes no sense. You have nowhere you sit and enjoy your ice cream. After driving over an hour, I'd like to sit and enjoy my ice cream. But oh well. The flavors are so fun tho. I have strawberry pretzel pie and watermelon taffy. I had originally come up there for the bubble gum, hoping that it reminded me of the nostalgic version of baskin robins, but it didn't. I tried all of the new summer flavors and they were pretty good. Toasted s'mores is probably what I'll get next time. The marshmallows in root beer threw it off for me. Love this place despite the lack of seating. The servers are always so pleasant.
