Such a cute ice cream shop in Carytown! My kids and I stopped by after walking through Maymont, and…read moreit was the perfect treat for us. We were able to sample a few flavors before making our final selections. 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! The shop itself is pretty small, but there's a cozy little seating area by the bay window where you can look out onto the main street. 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.

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!

They have a 8 people maximum capacity. There is a slim bar along the windows for people to stand and eat, but other than that, there are no chairs. It is a small arroom so don't expect to stay long. Food: the ice cream was very creamy and delicious! I loved the special flavors they had! And they change the flavors every now and then! So it's fun to try them all. Bathroom: there is no restroom. Price: I thought it was pretty good for the amount you get! It isn't on the cheap side, but you do get a large serving! Service: our server was very patient and nice! He gave us a few samples because I couldn't decide which flavor I liked (like any typical girl haha)

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 have a lot of options from water ice, soft frozen custard, hard hand scooped custard, sundaes, shakes, etc. The black raspberry custard was good! I liked the midnight craving more. It was creamy, had brownies, caramel, and fudge! I see how the line can get long. Rain was about to fall when we got here so there was not a lot of people despite a scorching hot day a few hours earlier.

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!

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.
