    Raspberry matcha
    Vi T.

    Visited again with a friend and we ordered the raspberry matcha and black sesame vanilla matcha drinks. Love that they whisk and combine the matcha drinks, fresh to order. As a result, it typically can take about 15 minutes for a drink order. Both our matcha drinks were very tasty and refreshing. Last time I visited I had tried the same black sesame vanilla matcha drink and had a scoop of the Pink Paradise gelato ice cream, which was amazing. So fragrant and deliciuous! From what I understand, they source their gelato locally from a handful of dairy farms and ice cream makers. And they also partner with 3rd Culture bakery (in Berkeley) for some bakery items from time to time too. I went online after my last/first visit here and also appreciated learning about how the co-founders' vision and operations of this locally owned business is to give back and participate in the local Lafayette community. This venue is in a shopping plaza with other small food and apparel stores. Parking is metered and about $2 per hour.

    I visited as part of a Yelp event. Boy am I glad I did not miss this. There were too many options for the matcha drink but I went with the banana bread and it was delicious - a matcha drink with a slight taste of banana bread which was surprising. I then tried the mint ice cream and my hubby sampled it too. Again, there were so many options to pick from. My hubby enjoyed it and it's hard to please him. It was EXCELLENT! Prices are reasonable. Will be back again to try the other flavors. Even more enjoyable was the friendly staff to make it a great experience!

    Recently visited here to try their Matcha since I heard it was the best in Lafayette! Overall the staff here was kind, the matcha was great and the store had a cute ambiance. However the prices are a bit steep in my opinion for a latte but it at least is a tasty one! Great spot for that if you're in the area, would be curious to try their Ice cream sometime in the future too! I got the Banana Bread matcha, I enjoyed it I would say it tasted more like bread than banana but it was a good flavor!

    Summer Menu (6/30)
    Kaitlyn L.

    Back from a review hiatus just to write this.. I visited on a Tuesday morning last week to start my solo day on a high, and being greeted by the barista was my first interaction of the day (who was super sweet!). Right off the bat, she was attentive even while preparing another customer's drink and gave me a few minutes to decide before ordering. I opted for their banana bread matcha as I don't really see that on the menu at other cafés. I also make my own matcha at home, so I like to order things I normally don't put in the effort to make for myself. I initially had low expectations because Lafayette + Walnut Creek lack decent matcha-based drinks (imo), so while I had my doubts, I'm happy to say that this drink actually proved me wrong! I took the first sip in my car and proceeded to chug down half of it before turning my car on. I don't think my photo shows how vibrant the color of the drink is either. As a barista myself, I really enjoyed the drink itself and how it really tasted like banana bread in a cup, without masking the matcha flavor; It was a balanced drink that wasn't overwhelming or heavy at all. I also appreciated having a pleasant interaction to kick off my weekday, though I can see how Lafayette Scoop could get super busy on weekends and cause longer wait times. Already planned my second trip with a friend to try out more of their Summer menu!

    Perfect treat to beat the heat. Visited during a heat wave, staff was warm and friendly (thank you Bella!), while inside was cute and cool. Did not try their actual ice cream BUT I went with the black sesame vanilla matcha (5/5) it was perfect balance- not too sweet and the black sesame really complimented the matcha. It was actually my first time trying this combo anywhere and it did not disappoint.

    The staff is incredibly friendly and addresses everyone who walks in. They were pretty busy when we stopped by on a late Tuesday morning, but they were so nice that we didn't mind the wait. We ordered the Black Sesame Vanilla Matcha and a scoop of Black Raspberry Chip ice cream (by recommendation, and it did not disappoint)! Fun fact: All of the ice creams available are Bay Area ice cream makers! I thought that was a great idea to support our locals. The black sesame vanilla matcha was delicious. I grew up with black sesame desserts, so I always get excited whenever I see black sesame on the menu. Almond and Oat milk are the available alternative "milk" options. Unfortunately they were not well staffed enough to let us sample other ice cream flavors, but we would definitely come back to try other menu items!

    Black Sesame Matcha
    Nicole D.

    Scoop has now become my favorite matcha place in the area! Attended the Yelp event (but I usually come here anyways). My go to is the black sesame matcha! And it's perfect every time. The staff has been so kind, shout out to Bella and Emma! I've seen them a few times and they are the sweetest. If it's busy, there can be a wait but hand whisked and perfectly measured matcha is tough to beat! The store is so cute too!

    Premium Matcha
    Manit D.

    This is a ice cream spot thats serves matcha as well. Employees are friendly, there was a bit of a wait since they do hand whisk the matcha. I got the premium matcha with oat milk and was excited to try it since the color looked so great, however the oat milk taste overpowered the matcha. I'll visit again and try regular milk next time since the reviews are so good.

    Raspberry Sorbet in waffle cone
    Michelle L.

    Service was quick and the employees were nice. I went for ice cream and it was great! I liked the assortment of flavors and as someone with a nut allergy I REALLY appreciate that they made labels for every ice cream with allergens and had a sign to ask them about allergens if you have allergies. Very helpful and appreciated! I got a double scoop of the raspberry sorbet and it was a perfect sweet and tart cold treat for the summer. The waffle cone was good too.

    Erich L.

    Been here a few times now to get the scoop. Good selection of ice cream and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Especially good on a hot day.

    What an Amazing place Lafayette scoop is! We had so much fun because the minute you walk up to scoop you were happy because the colors are there. The restaurant is popping and people are happy. The service there is incredible. The people that work there are so nice and so fun. The ambience is really cool. The food is great because the ice cream comes from all the best ice cream places in the Bay Area my favorite being Mariannes from Santa Cruz so I was thrilled. I hope they will get chocolate chip because that's my very favorite. They had amazing Matcha flavors and my son loved having the raspberry Matcha. They were eating inside and out. I highly recommend it a great place.

    Ube Ice Cream
    Yuri H.

    I visited Lafayette Scoop. I had an Earl Gray Matcha. My friend chose the Ube ice cream. I tasted her ice cream, and it was yummy. We received extra value customer service from Buki the balloon artist. Buki twisted ballons into detailed designs with ease. All in all it was a festive fun day with great treats and people.

    Raspberry Matcha
    Valerie A.

    I had a raspberry Matcha with oat milk. Each Matcha is hand whisked! They went light on the raspberry because I was worried it might be too sweet, and it was perfect. It was quite delicious and I'll be back to try different flavors as Matcha is my new obsession. It was a super hot day so I couldn't resist to also get an ice cream cone. They get their ice cream from different small suppliers around the Bay Area. My friend got a cup and I think that you get a more generous serving with a cone. So many great flavors both for the Matcha and ice cream, for sure I'll be back to try more. Service was super friendly, the owner was present. No seating inside, but you can stand by the counter in the air-conditioning, or there are a few tables and benches outside. Don't forget to feed your meter, they actively ticket in this lot. Minimum time is one hour for $2.

    The fam and I have been going to Likikoi since they've opened, mostly for convenience purposes…read more Started out amazing, but as we ordered more and more, there's been quite a bit of inconsistency. Will we get good or mediocre drinks today? Will our drinks be accurate or would we need to spend some more time to get our drinks fixed? Always a gamble, but hey, I do love to gamble (usually in a different setting lol). Sometimes the drinks are really good. The ones I've had the most consistencies are their house milk tea and their tropical fruit tea. Recommendation is to order everything as-is since if things (such as sugar level) are adjusted, it's most likely watered down. Luckily the drinks aren't way too sweet, but still a bit sweeter than I'd like, and I'd prefer a bit more tea flavor. My daughter has been big on their Thai tea, but after some inconsistencies with flavor, she's switched to their matcha horchata drink. Pretty good, and they have other kinds of drinks like that too. My son likes the house milk tea with lychee jelly, and the husband enjoys the Oreo drinks here, but they don't taste right in my opinion. I like their house milk tea, jasmine milk tea, tropical fruit tea, and once a while, their ube taro drink. On the safe side, I normally stick with tropical tea and house milk tea at this location. Props to Lilikoi for having some "unique" drinks such as mango almighty (mango smoothie with tajin and chamoy), various horchata drinks, and more. They seem to specialize more in the tropical fruit teas, so highly recommend for those.

Since I went close to when they first opened, I thought they would get the kinks worked out so I wanted to try again before I judged. I came today (2/4/2025) after a doctor's appointment. I noticed they have ube coffee on the menu. Unfortunately, the employees told me they were out of ube. I ordered the Thai milk tea with no ice at 50% sweet. Given the heavy rain and cold weather, I asked if they could make the drink hot and they said they don't do hot drinks. Really? Every boba spot I've been to in the 4.5 years I've lived in Contra Costa County - including Sharetea, Mr. Green Bubble, Teaspoon, and Yi Fang - offer hot drinks. Everywhere EXCEPT Lilikoi. As for the drink itself, I could taste the Thai tea flavor somewhat but it seemed a bit watered down. I've had better Thai milk tea elsewhere. The drink cost $5, which is less compared to other boba spots. But I'd rather pay a bit more for drinks that don't tasted watered down. I don't think I'll return, even if in the area.
