    It's hard to find good matcha in the east Bay Area, but Lafayette scoop hits the mark! It's creamy, smooth, and vibrant. My fiancée likes the matcha sweetened with honey and I enjoy mine unsweetened- both with double shots of matcha! 5 stars!!

    Hand whisked matcha

    Cute little shop serving hand whisked quality matcha and seasonal flavored ice cream. The server allowed us to taste the various flavors, all which were delightfully good! The mango sticky rice ice cream was my favorite with the mango bits mixed into the yummy flavored ice cream.

    This was my first time in Lafayette and I'm glad I stumbled across this place! Although it's known as an ice cream shop I came for the matcha and was pleasantly surprised! We got the earl grey matcha, mint matcha, and banana bread matcha. I loved how the workers hand whisk the matcha and it's not watered down at all, the mint matcha was fresh and still had a good sweetness to it, same with the earl grey. The banana bread was also delicious! The only thing I would say was that I tasted more hints of cinnamon rather than banana but it was still good overall. I loved the pink decor inside as well and they have a few seats inside and outside. Overall wouldn't mind coming back if I'm in the area!

    Banana Bread Matcha

    The best Banana Bread Matcha!!! Staff were very friendly and Nice, will be coming back!

    The ladies at the front are always so sweet, and I really like their banana bread matcha with oat milk! It is a beautiful green color, not too milky and not too overpowering of a banana flavor. Will try the other flavors soon :) I come here during my lunch for work, and this is the only place I'll get a matcha!

    Lafayette finally has its own ice cream shop! It's super cute and I've taken my daughter a few times already. You can also take pints to go and they recently started serving matcha, too (haven't tried yet). Metered parking is plentiful in the parking lot right in front. My only request is for them to add basic flavors like chocolate and strawberry, which were not available on our last visit.

    The "Scoop" on this ice cream shop is that they change their flavors every week! I came here on Sat 4/42026 with a friend; I had a kid's scoop of the cinnamon churro ice cream and she had an earl grey matcha. The cinnamon churro flavor was evident! Also, the ice cream was hard to get out of the carton but the employee scooping it had the patience of a saint and still managed to get me a generous serving for a kid's cone. Watching the matcha whisked by hand was cool. Can't wait to see what flavors they have next!

    Hands down, some of the best matcha I've had! I got the mint matcha, and there were two other flavor options. The woman making the matcha was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back. The Scoop is also decorated in a really cute way. I can't wait to try the ice cream flavors.

    New ice cream spot in town! YAY!! Clean interior and super welcoming staff. It doesn't seem the ice cream is made in house as the flavors have labels that include where the ice cream is from, such as Mitchell's, Double Rainbow, etc. Kind of like a curation of various unique flavors depending on the week/day/etc. Anyways, my daughter has gone here several times and have enjoyed the flavors. She's tried Ube, mango, and mint chip. The Ube isn't too sweet and has nice subtle flavors with some bits in there. She thought the mango was good, but didn't say much about it, and mentioned the mint chip tasted like fresh mint. I was amazed by the various flavors when I tried- churro, Mexican chocolate, unity, and more. I asked what some of them were as the name isn't clear to describe the flavor, and they were super knowledgeable. I got a single with Ube and the coconut. Both were excellent. Couldn't believe the coconut one was vegan. So good!! It is a bit pricey as it's $7 base for a single size, but would def come again to try more flavors and check out more of their offerings.

    This place is so good, I don't usually care about ice cream but yummmmm. They have a bunch of different ice cream brands which is what makes them unique, usually you get only one brand so if you don't love their type of ice cream you're out of luck. They rotate through flavors and have everything from double rainbow to curbside creamery. Soon they'll bring in Marianne's which is exciting. They have vegan, gluten free, and regular dairy ice cream. Basically everyone can find something they like here. The flavors they choose are top notch. There isn't anything I've tried that wasn't tasty. All kinds of interesting flavors too, so it's not just the basics. We will definitely keep coming back. The place is super clean and the service is great. It'll be good if they add some stools along the little wall counter top they have. Super easy parking.

    Banana bread matcha
    Corinna C.

    Such cute store! Staff was really friendly and helpful. It has a small town feel. Lots of flavor. We got the banana pudding ice cream, banana bread matcha and Marianne ice cream sandwich. All was good.

    Skores and Ube sccop

    I went here after a jaunt at a nearby park. It had just opened as of today and was expecting a huge line. We went on a super beautiful day and we had no line to wait in. They had a couple of flavors to choose from and the Scoop gals were super friendly and helpful. They are different ways to get your scoops as cups or cones. The ice cream was good but the prices were a little steep for 2 separate scoops. They had different flavors I would like to try and maybe get some toppings like chocolate sprinkles.

    Generous scoops! Enthusiastic staff! A nice variety of flavors with lots of vegan and gluten free options for those who need or want them! A bit on the pricey side. But very excited to welcome a new ice cream shop to town. We tried mango, peanut butter + jelly and mint chip. They were all a nice treat.

Plenty of espresso drinks, freshly brewed coffee with cheap refills, and a pastry case that always has something worth grabbing. The breakfast menu holds up too. Avocado smash on sourdough and the farm fresh egg sandwich are both solid picks if you want more than a pastry. The space is the real draw. Indoor seating if you want quiet, plus a big covered patio out back with string lights, wine barrel tables, and heaters for the colder months. It's a pleasant place to sit and talk without feeling rushed. A few tips if you're heading over: get there early for the best seats, and street parking out front is free until 10am. After that you're hunting. Kitchen closes at 2pm, so plan accordingly. I've only ever come for the morning routine, but they've got a full bar with craft cocktails, draft beer from local breweries like Fieldwork and Altamont, and wine by the glass. The evening side is on my list. If you live in the area and don't have a regular coffee spot yet, make this it.

The two young ladies who helped my daughter and me were pleasant, friendly, and helpful apologies that I didn't catch your names! We also ordered a vanilla latte with sugar-free Torani vanilla (the absolute best!) and a matcha. The inside of the café is magnificent, but since it was such a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside, which was just amazing. The seating was very comfortable, and our food was brought out promptly. Thank you for the wonderful service and hospitality. We look forward to visiting again soon!

No one was at the main register to take orders. The couple in front took forever to order so we stood next in line for a little under 10 min.. we noticed there were several people outside of the small shop waiting for their orders. As we were in line to offer, several people came inside and asked the employees at the counter about their order status. We waited 30 min for 2 iced drinks!! Someone ahead of us was still waiting on her ONE iced coffee. I ordered an iced tiramisu latte and my brother ordered a matcha. My drink tasted like watered down milk. My brother's drink didn't taste like proper matcha. It's a shame because the place and location is nice. But staff doesn't greet you or seem friendly or even approachable. And the drinks are not good. I didn't bother for any food/pastries.
