    Waffle w/ specloo & mud pie ice cream
    Aly H.

    What a gem of an ice cream shop! I usually take superlatives with a dash of salt, but I can see why they call their ice cream and waffles world famous. The waffle had a dense and thick texture rather than being crispy or fluffy, which goes really well with ice cream. It was also caramelized to perfection. The Specluoo and Mud Pie ice cream were the perfect pairing for each other. We'll definitely make it a point to stop by here every time we're in the area, and especially after a long day of outdoor activities because that's when sweet treats are best served and deserved! My only complaint is that it's so far, but that's a me problem :(

    Local Scoop is a cute little ice cream shop located in June Lake! I love their logo. So creative that the ice cream cones are little mountains! I got the banana chocolate chip ice cream. It was soo delicious. I'm a chocolate covered banana lover, and this met my expectations. I do wish they offered samples so that I could try the other flavors, and it could've allowed me to explore other ice cream flavors, but I decided to go with the safe option of the banana chocolate chip! Definitely would recommend checking it out.

    We were excited to try this super cute little family-run ice cream shop in June. Their adorable window display and bright blue chairs caught our eye after grabbing dinner at Epic. The young employee who helped us was friendly and patient while we decided on which of their unique flavors to order. They had the usual flavors and unique ones like cake splatter , banana choco chip, black cherry choco chip, pumpkin, Speculoos, and spumoni. We got three scoops for $9 and enjoyed it on their outdoor sitting area. I hope this spot succeeds here and make June their home for years to come! We will definitely be back.

    What a gem hiding in June Lake! My family was just driving down the 395 to go home from Reno when we decided to drive by the lake. So glad we did! This ice cream shop is delightful and so are the owners of the shop. The man and woman were so friendly! I got the lemon poppyseed ice cream (sounds so strange) and have thought of it for months! Amazing flavor! I can hardly wait to come back!

    Do yourself a flavor and treat yourself to the best ice cream around! Local Scoop....owned by an incredibly nice local family. Tasty flavors like salty caramel, banana chocolate chip, chocolate fudge brownie, black cherry, Spumoni and so many more. The two times we visited this spot they were busy while still offering a smile as your favorite flavor was being served. There are Adirondack chairs outside , tables and a corn hole game. A cool lil' spot that is well worth the visit.

    Mud pie & Speculoos

    We went to the Mammoth location on its second day open. The staff was friendly & attentive. The ice cream all looked fresh. We tried speculoos & mud pie. So happy with those but want to go back for other flavors.

    Dessert!

Expensive but everything in Mammoth is expected to be expensive. My boyfriend and I BOTH got the banana chocolate chip. So good I would highly recommend. If I could describe it, it is the baskin robbins chocolate chip ice cream but banana flavor. The banana flavor is so subtle, almost like it's banana/vanilla!

There was only one girl working, with…read morea huge group of about 10 people in front of us, our group of four, and two couples behind us. We were very patient and used the wait time to fully decide what we wanted, especially since there's a huge variety of flavors and options. I really felt for her having to handle the rush alone and understand how overwhelming that must have been. Once she finished with the large group, my boyfriend ordered a milkshake and she loudly exhaled in frustration and gave him a look, which caught all of us off guard. It was uncomfortable, especially after being patient and ready to order. Because of that reaction, the rest of us kept our orders very simple and just got ice cream. Flavor wise, the mud pie was the group favorite, and I got the coffee ice cream which I really enjoyed. It is a bit on the pricey side, but I did enjoy trying a new ice cream spot in Mammoth. She was kinder by the time we were paying, and again, I truly understand the stress of working solo during a rush. Overall, the ice cream itself was really good and I appreciate how hard she was working during such a busy night. While the service moment was a bit uncomfortable, this felt like an experience that landed somewhere between 3 and 4 stars.

As other customers have commented, they make you feel like you're an inconvenience and charge you for it. Yet wait for it -because my friend went in today the very same day on Mother's Day totally different group of people and she had a bad experience too! On Mother's Day, I ordered an arugula salad (it wasn't on the menu yet I saw others eating it). It looked amazing, and I substituted the prosciutto for pesto/olive tapenade--great veggie option. Yes, the owners should make this a menu item. I also ordered a delicious Muscat dessert wine and a cupcake, and everything was pretty awesome. I asked why it wasn't on the menu, and they said people just come in knowing what to order. Several times I've ordered something from the menu, only to be told it's not available, which is confusing because then it comes back on the menu, and they get annoyed when you order something that is supposed to be served. Anyway, everything was great; I was treating myself and happy to splurge... until... Right after I received my food, the server immediately asked for my card. I requested her to bring the bill at the end, as usual, since I wasn't prepared to order more, and I thought the amount was enough. The rose frozen yogurt looked yum, so I decided to use a small sample cup instead of the plastic ones, as the girls were in the back. I didn't want to bother them and thought it would be a fun way to avoid waste. She rushed out with another server, almost making a scene--embarrassing, as I was about to take a photo and mention folks should eat there. She asked me to pay for the sample. I decided not to, and I'm glad I sent it back because the secret salad, not on the menu, was $20, and the wine along with the cupcake turned out to be nearly $40. Every place I've worked at that makes the customer happy usually gets a great tip! You'd think a sample wouldn't be a big deal. I definitely let her know, especially since it was already pricey. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've had service that's just not very nice. I want to let the owners know I love your location and your place, but the service is often rude. The blonde server was sweet and great, but the other "manager" was not. Many people I try to bring here cringe- we like the place, but they say the service is rude. The women make you feel uncomfortable with disapproving looks. Especially today, it's a day to honor mothers. If not, you'll hear from us with our tip. Tip: Would be a 5, but the energy of the servers drops it to a 2; the food raises it to a 3. Owners, you should know. I didn't leave a cash tip-- would have left $10 to be treated well. That's my tip. Every time we go back, we wonder if we want to deal with a mean server. Every time. then my friend, who also went there today for Mother's Day with her entire family they have a huge family. They brought four kids for adult adults and this is what she told me after I shared my review. "That's so crazy that you sent that they were so rude to me today the dark haired lady when I asked her what cupcake flavors she had left. It was like I was pulling teeth to get the flavors from her service is always crappy here." Owners please talk to your staff. They are just not nice.

You won't find emulsifiers, and guar gum here! The care and attention to making a superior product like this is hard to find. I shared my need for clean food, and my appreciation for what he and his wife create with the gentleman. Truly an Art! This is a must try if you happen to be in this little town passing through.
