Such a sweet spot to get delicious ice cream and walk around Dana Point Harbor! This cute little shop is right on the walkway between the parking lot and the walking path where you'd take to stroll and look at the boats. They have a HUGE selection of ice cream - I got the single scoop and you're able to get two flavors so I picked cookies and cream + kahlua truffle (which is like coffee ice cream with brownies- amaaaazing). My husband got the waffle cone and the ice cream serving seems a lot bigger in it. They also have desserts like cookies and brownies to choose from. Workers are kind and helpful. They usually have a long line, but it goes quickly! read more

Red many reviews and they were spot on. Also red about Lappert's ice cream and they had some unique ingredients, Kona coffee, Philippine mango and Egyptian pistachio. Went with the Kauai pie and the Hawaiian sea salt. Absolutely loved the Kauai pie. Had a really great Kona coffee flavor. Reminded me of these Kona coffee covered macadamia nuts from Hawaii. The macadamia nuts added a nice crunchy texture to the smooth ice cream. Had never heard of Lappert's ice cream before and now I am a fan. The Hawaiian sea salt caramel had a nice rich caramel to it. Definitely one of the better caramel tasting ice creams I've had. If you are an ice cream fan you will enjoy Lappert's. I only wish they would allow samples. They do give you two scoops for a small which is a good amount of ice cream. read more

We had their ice cream for dessert after a brunch at wind & sea nearby. Their ice cream are good and the servings are great . But they do not do tasting before you order so you order the flavor you already know you will like. There are seating areas outside the store and despite the fact that it's a Monday when we went, there were plenty of people but we got to find some seats for some of us. We had a big party of 15 people with several kids when we went and most of us were able to find somewhere to sit down and enjoy the ice cream. It was a nice December day to be by the marina so the ambiance was great at the time. read more

I LOVE Lapperts ice cream and love even more that I don't have to go to Hawaii or Sausalito to get some of my favorite Kauai Pie ice cream! This trip we ordered; MINT COOKIE which used to be a favorite but seemed to have way more cookie than ice cream this time. Think a bright green mint chip but with a million Oreos. 3/5 COOKIE MONSTER which was our favorite of the evening. This bright blue ice cream contains cookie dough ice cream and Oreos. 5/5 BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE which was a lot lighter and the flavor was pretty on-point, but nothing too unique. 4/5 I would've given 5 stars because servings were generous and staff was friendly, but the lady serving us wiped her nose with her hand and then dipped that hand in a container to serve us ice cream (no gloves or hand washing in between), which was kind of gross and unsanitary if it's happening a bunch. Ice cream was still great though! read more

I asked for a taste of the Kaui Pie flavor and was told they don't give tastes anymore. But after being assured it is a favorite, I decided to be adventurous and give it a try. "That'll be $9.15, please," the attendant says as I get my first taste from the cone she'd just handed me. Now I already know I hate the flavor. I contemplated saying something but begrudgingly paid and sucked it up as a lesson learned. No taste test, no money in my book from now on. Still have a bad taste in my mouth from that experience. read more

I have been visiting this local gem since I was a child, my mother worked her first job there as a teenager in the 80's. Now with children of my own, we kept the tradition and visited every few weeks for a special, delicious treat. Our last visit was this past Mother's Day, we were informed about the location change and were excited to visit and order our favorites once they were open again. We called to confirm hours yesterday and were informed that Scoop Deck is no longer, it is only Coffee Importers at the new location. It is such a shame to lose such a family oriented staple of the Dana Point Harbor. I can only hope that someday Scoop Deck finds its way back, for it will be greatly missed by myself and my entire family! read more

Was the worst ice cream just flacked away, ice cream cone (one scoop) and root beer float cost us $16 and we couldn't eat it. We went in and talked to them about it and the girl said yeah we get bad batch's once in a while nothing we can do about it. Didn't offer money back or another ice cream Will never go back it was awful, don't waste your money You wanted photos look in trash Photo is what I was over charged one scoop waffle $6.30 one root beer float $6.50 does not = $16 it was all around bad ice cream and service Jim Thank you for your response, first yes I questioned the price and I believe it was management came over said it was right and had to tell the girl how to give change, and yes the ice cream literally flacked out of the cone on to table my husband went back in and you see what her response was. We have been there before and not had that type of service but this was unacceptable read more

Was supposed to head over to Waterman's but they are closed until March 1, so this was our second option and WOW! I just order a sundae thinking it wasn't that much since it's only three scoops of ice cream BUT I didn't think they double the ice cream scoops. I got Pistachio, White Chocolate and Macadamia nuts, and lastly Kona Coffee. They hooked it up! (see picture below) It's about $11.00 but wow...I had that all to myself because I didn't think it was that HUGE! They even put two spoons on the plate, but it's all for me. Will be coming back if I'm in the mood for ice cream. The staff was super helpful with my questions since it was my first time there and they are up to date with the covid and safely of others. read more

Nice ice cream shop with a variety of unique flavors. They don't offer samples so we got screwed with one of our choices. Banana Caramel Chocolate Chip - 1/5 Tasted very much of chemicals instead of fresh bananas as advertised. Think of a banana flavor Now And Later candy. BLEH. Hawaii Sea Salt Caramel - 4/5 I think this was legit good but the horrible banana caramel ice cream overpowered this and ruined the entire cup. I'd suggest sticking to your favorite flavors when you visit here and avoid the intriguing, quirky flavors. I've been to better ice cream parlors but at least this place is situated along the pretty waterfront. read more

This is a great spot for ice cream and your beverage needs all throughout the year! There's a separate line for ice cream and drinks and some bakery items. I ordered a small cup of ice cream and it came with 2 scoops. It was pretty tasty! I've had their hot drinks as well and have not been disappointed. It's right by the path along the harbor so it has great views of the boats. It's also a good spot to pick up what you want and continue on your walk. I like that adults can get their caffeine fix and kids can satisfy their sweet tooth haha! read more

This blonde girl working there was SO rude to my family. She rolled her eyes at my grandma, was short with us, and stared and shot daggers at everyone in my family for legit like no reason? They were not busy & I don't think we asked anything of them that was ridiculous. No reason for her to act like that and have that much attitude with people who did nothing to her. Maybe she's having a bad day, but if you're rude to my elderly grandmother, you're just being a jerk. I also caught her staring me down when I was sitting outside so I stared back at her because wth? And she continued to glare at me through the window. She should genuinely be fired. In other words, ice cream was good but staff was just not kind. read more

My husband and I stopped here last week on a walk around the harbor because I really wanted an ice cream. The ice cream flavors here are fantastic (lots of coffee flavored options). We opted to share a banana split and my DH let me choose the flavors even though it was his birthday (biggest sweetheart!!). I chose the Hawaiian sea salt caramel, banana chocolate something-or-other, and the Kona coffee truffle.... omg!! This was the best banana split ever!!! Service was really nice, too! Lots of outdoor patio seating and several indoor sofa oCan't wait to come back! Second time here... I had promised my son to take him for a banana split here since he saw pictures of the first banana split my husband and I got a few weeks ago. The young man working the counter was really friendly and had such a nice overall demeanor, which added to our fantastic experience here. My son got to try the peppermint ice cream, which he loved, and so we chose that as one of the flavors for our banana split. Banana chocolate chip and Kauai Pie were the other two flavors we got and they are superb! Presentation this time was even more impressive (sprinkles for my son!). Lots of people here Saturday late morning but we got a nice sofa seat on the indoor patio to enjoy our fabulous treat. read more

The service is terrible, very angry worker who take the ice cream like a thick ice. however, the ice cream is good and the sea outside is enjoyable. read more

Absolutely LOVE the Lappert's ice cream and am so happy to have found somewhere that serves it. The Kauai Pie (coffee ice cream with macadamia nuts, fudge, and coconut) is my favorite. But the Hana road (like a Rocky road) and the white chocolate macadamia nut get honorable mentions. The serve very generous scoops here! Great location in the harbor with a few tables to sit at. There are also some benches near by as the tables can be busy during peak times. Inside was very clean and staff were following COVID protocols. The lady who helped us was friendly and efficient in taking orders and getting the scoops prepared. I will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend for a great dessert place and also love that I can get a coffee too! read more

Normally we go to Orange County Creamery for our ice cream fix but decided to bike over to harbor and try Scoop. I wanted to try the white chocolate macadamia nut but was told they don't do samples? At almost $19 for a single scoop and overly runny malt one would think a sample is not out of reach - never been to an ice cream or frozen yogurt shop that didn't offer at min one sample!! Young man working was neither friendly or unfriendly but clearly struggled to make a malt. OK but I'll stick to OCC. read more

This is a very good ice-cream shop, but be warned that it's pandemonium on weekends. Pros - - Lapperts premium ice-cream with over thirty flavors. Ours tasted incredible including Kawaii Pie. - Ordering a single scoop in a cone was more like two scoops. - When your cheap-ass cone breaks and your ice cream falls to the ground they'll replace it for free. Cons - - Their standard cones are garbage. Not only did our cone break twice, the scoop artist broke two of them while trying to put the ice cream into the cone... Everyone that didn't order the stronger waffle cone was having issues... - Ordering a cone had twice as much ice cream compared to ordering a cup.. - There isn't much room inside the actual shop and people were taking too much time oversampling. read more

This is a nice shop on Dana Point Harbor. They have a great variety of flavors - some even have fun names and include flavor names from the Hawaiian islands. I tried all three flavors that my family and I had. Each had decent flavor, but the texture was overly icy. It tasted like the ice cream had been refrozen one or more times. Since this was my first time at this shop, I do not know if they had issues with a shipment of ice cream or if their freezer needs some adjustment. I ended up just throwing mine (vanilla chocolate almond) away. I would have liked to have tasted it first but they told me they did not allow a taste. Not sure if that is a COVID issue or an owner who does not like the folks who just taste and never buy. I will try again in the future. Hope this was just a quality control issue. read more

After a long day of touring at Catalina Island, I didn't want dinner as I had a substantial lunch on the island. When I arrived back in Dana Point, I stopped into the Scoop Deck to get some ice cream. I got a two scoop container of loco coco--Jamaican rum and toasted coconut flavors. The ice cream was good. It's Lappert's and I've had it before so I know that it will be good quality ice cream. I don't remember the price but I did think it was reasonably priced given its location near a beach and in the marina area of Dana Point. It was a good stop. read more

Lots of great flavors for my family and I. Cookie Monster is the most popular one. It's located under the Henry's Harpoon restaurant.

Give it a four for not letting us taste test flavors that are unheard of but they give generous scoops for the amount of money you pay

Hello Jim, Everything you just says is not what happened and completely a lie. Everything what I say in my review was the truth. My daughter did not dropped her ice cream. My daughter slip and fell on the floor that already have ice cream there. It was white ice cream. My daughter was holding her ice cream (chocolate) when she fell. None of the staffs helped us. They just stood there behind the counters. We were outside trying to help my daughter to calm down after she slip and fell and badly injured her knee. My husband went inside twice to complained to your staffs. They still didn't do anything. read more

I was not a fan of the ice cream. It didn't seem worth $6 a scoop, but also there just wasn't flavor. I will say that the first ice cream flavor I got which was raspberry sherbert, i didn't like. It was so tart, i was expecting something sweet. Ya know, sherbert. I threw it away and got back in line to get another one. They replaced it green of charge which was awesome. But the cookies and cream flavor ice cream I got was just okay. read more

You can't walk around Dana Point harbor without seeing people holding a big cone with scrumptious ice cream. So we decided to give in to our curiosities. It's literally a hole in the wall. The line was long but move fairly quickly. Lots of seating outside to enjoy your ice cream. The even have a used books rack for you to browse (proceed go to the local library). Since we just had dinner so we decided to share a small cup of Hawaiian Sea Salt Caramel and let me tell you it was YUMMMMMM. Scoop is very generous with their portion so it was plenty for us to share. It was our first but it's definitely not our last. Next time we will save room for ice cream. read more

I love how convenient the location of this little shop is. It's a 5 minute walk from our hotel (Dana Point Marina Inn) and another 10-15 minute walk from the beach! They offer soooo many flavors! I was a bit overwhelmed and couldn't decide if I wanted to go towards the "healthy" or not so healthy route...cookie dough seemed to be calling my name louder than the raspberry sorbet... It wasn't just any cookie dough ice cream though. It was called The Cookie Monster which had Oreo AND cookie dough chunks. It was also blue. However... Maybe my expectations were too high just because of the name. It didn't taste amazing. Just alright. Plus it made my lips turn blue! Price was pretty high for a junior scoop, but then again they do fill up your cup. Overall: Beautiful place to just sit, relax, and enjoy your ice cream. I know they offer extra toppings and shakes as well. Maybe next time I'll get their sorbet! read more

Best Ice Cream in the southern OC area. My favorite is their Cookie Monster ice cream. It's a blue ice cream with tons of Oreos and Cookie Dough. Also, their coffee ice creams are amazing. My favorite is the Kauai Pie. Their flavors are all rich and creamy. A waffle cone is the perfect pair to any ice cream flavor. This is the perfect dessert for any hot summer day, or even a cold rainy winter one! read more

Had an ok experience here. Staff was very friendly and seemed like nice kids.

Ok....so, I would have given this a higher star review as we loved the ice cream and the atmosphere, but unfortunately they overcharged us by at least $10 and didn't even try to make up for the mistake. My father-in-law (visiting from out of state) took us out for ice cream and, being locals, we thought somewhere by the harbor would be nice. Even though there was a long line, the employees were actually really fast and efficient. Perhaps too fast because there were 2 kids, 4 adults (everyone got 1 small single scoop except one double in a pink cup) and the order total ended up being $36.00. The next morning my husband had mentioned that he was surprised at how pricey the order had been for such small scoops of ice cream. I wasn't too surprised as the ice cream (Laperts) was high-quality, we were at the harbor, etc. BUT when I reviewed there a menu prices, the total was indeed off by almost $10.00. We just happened to be in the Harbor for a whale watching expedition the next day so afterwards we popped into the store to explain the situation. It was my father-in-law who went in and was told by an employee that our order should've been around 20 something dollars (after he told him exactly what we ordered) but that there was nothing they could do. Very strange to me that they just decided not to look into it any further and not very good customer service in my opinion. The 5-10 dollars they overcharged wasn't a big deal to us but still not right. Disappointing because other than this mishap it would have been a great experience. read more

Rum Raisin!! Get it! You won't be sorry! I'm still thinking about it almost a week later. It was THAT good. I'm not usually a big icecream fan but I must say that this was delicious. This brand is very creamy. It really stands out from other brands. And their unique choices of dreamy flavors makes it worth a drive! If I could make just 1 request it would be to add waffle bowls as an option for those of us who like to avoid drips. Otherwise, I just have them turn the waffle cone upside down and put it in a cup. I can't wait to go back! My new favorite place in the harbor. read more

They're super super slow with their coffee. If you don't have time to wait don't order here. They lost my order so I had to place it again. Also the espresso wasn't even good. It tasted like the machine hadn't been cleaned for a while or wasn't getting enough pressure. Regret the tip that was left. read more

Great fun atmosphere. Usually pretty crowded especially during the summer. I ordered pistachio in a waffle cone and I thought this flavor was lacking. But the consistency was great. Next time I'll try something else. read more

At around 1pm on a Saturday, this place was packed. Line outside the door packed. The line also moved very slow but I think it's because there was no organized line or structure to the place. They literally only had room for the ice cream and a couple of customers. Their menu had nothing useful on it and didn't include extra details like an extra charge for adding more flavors or how many scoops were in a small waffle cone. The girls behind the glass were also stressed out beyond belief and definitely getting flustered with all the customers and were confused about who got what. I believe this place suffers from a serious management issue where there needs to be more than one cashier to get the line going and a more organized process to account for ice cream orders. I felt that there needed to be a supervisor or veteran staff member to get things in order and allow for breaks because these girls looked frazzled. But other than that, the ice cream flavors were great and there was a wide variety. I chose the coconut pineapple and some flavor that is technically Rocky road but they gave it some Hawaii name like Hana road. Ice cream was creamy and authentic. But the way the store processed customers was definitely unorganized and a mess. Probably won't be coming back no matter how good the ice cream is. read more

My boyfriend and I visited the harbor for the first time yesterday and were excited when we saw tons of people walking around with ice cream cones in hand. We Yelped it up and found this place nearby. I was really letdown when I discovered nearly all of the flavors were Dryers. If I wanted Dryers ice cream, I would have gone to the grocery store down the street to purchase a carton for the same price as one scoop at Scoop Deck. My boyfriend and I ended up getting ice cream for the heck of it, but there was really nothing special about it. I thought it would be homemade/gourmet ice cream, but I guess not... Probably won't be returning back in the future. read more
