After attending a Filipino-hosted Sungka Social event at Cafe Frida, we stopped by Scoop N Buns for dessert (it's next door ), and it was the perfect way to end the evening. We ordered the Ube Tres Leches and Mango Halo-Halo. The Ube Tres Leches was incredibly moist, rich, and packed with ube flavor without being overly sweet. The Mango Halo-Halo was refreshing, loaded with toppings, and perfect for a warm Texas day. Not pictured was the Ube Oreo Cookie, which was equally delicious and a great treat to take on the go. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We love finding places that offer Filipino-inspired desserts, and Scoop N Buns definitely delivered. Looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu! read more

I finally got to try the famous Halo Halo from Scoop n Buns during the Ube festival in Garland. The line was insanely long and I think they had the longest line out of all the vendors there. We got the Pandan halohalo & mango halohalo to try. Since it was at a festival, the price was more expensive and it was $12 each. Both of the halo halo were refreshing and the ice cream were so good. My favorite topping was the flan, it was so creamy and paired so well with the shaved ice, but I wish they give you more flan though. Overall it was a good experience but I'd probably not going pay $12 for it again. read more

First I want to say the customer service is amazing. I've been here twice now. I didn't catch the young lady who helped us, I believe it was Monday or Tuesday evening. She explained to me what Ube is and I decided on the Ube Tres Leche cake. Absolutely AMAZING!!! It was so good... I came back. This time I chatted with Evelyn & she also was very kind, personable & helpful. It's a very cute establishment & I can't wait to come back to try other menu items. read more

I had been wanting to come here for some time and finally made it when we had some family in town. I love a good Halo Halo and this place definitely delivered. They have different flavor profiles on their Halo Halo as well. I tried the traditional and really enjoyed it. If they were closer to where I live, I'm sure I would have tried the other flavors by now. They have a lot of traditional ice cream flavors and a good selection of Asian inspired flavors. Definitely worth checking out. We ate our treats so fast I didn't get any pictures! read more

Came here after dinner a few weeks ago with my niece and mom and the folks here were super welcoming. It's a cute space too, not much seating, but we were able to find more seats next door at Cafe Frida. Love all the Frida Kahlo themed artwork. We shared a pandan halo halo and it was a nice refreshing treat! read more

Scoop N' Buns is cute hangout spot near DownTown Garland. It's a great place to meet up or even get some work done. The employees are supper attentive and offer great recommendations on their ice cream. I got the banana pudding (after have a very sweet latte) and it was refreshing while not overloading me with sugar. read more

This place is so cute, you wouldn't imagine it looked like this from the outside. They have a connecting cafe on the other side where more "grown folk" can go and have a good time. The side we went on was definitely more inviting towards kids, they even had a Nintendo system and my daughter did not want to leave. The desserts were so yummy, we tried a pandan ice cream sandwich, ube churros and an horchata tres leches. The service was fast and overall I'd give it a 10/10, glad I live close by! Lol read more

This is my first time at Scoop N Buns and it was great! They have a lot of options and i got the mango halo halo. Everyone was very nice and they gave us our drinks quickly. We went around noon and the seating area was very crowded. There were a lot of people working on their laptops or hanging out with friends. You can come and visit this place and get to-go but if you want to sit and work, I recommend coming early. read more

I highly recommend this location if you need a unique experience. 5 stars thank you. read more

Came here with my kid to get something sweet and this place had so many options! I really wanted to get halo halo but I didn't want to tempt myself to eat everything because I wanted to try more things on their menu. We tried their ube ice cream and their ube cookies and they were both delicious! My kid was a little hesitant on sharing his ice cream until he saw the cookie. The service was amazing too! Everyone was so friendly! On the other side of this store looked like a cute coffee shop. Will definitely be coming back to try more ice cream and to have some coffee! read more

I love unique eateries and this place is totally that! With so many unique flavors, the hard part is making the decision on what you want! I finally decided on the Ube horchata ice cream and my daughter got the Mexican vanilla Oreo ice cream. At checkout, I also got a matcha white chocolate macadamia cookie (Auh-mazing!!!). You gotta come here and try these amazing flavors merried together. There is nothing like it! read more

How can I put into words my love for this wonderfully unique ice cream parlor? I have so many happy memories taking my kid here. The space is cuuuuute with Instagram worthy decor. This place has a lot of heart. Mexican-Filipino inspired hand-made ice cream flavors. They always have ube (sweet purple taro) and usually have coconut, tres leches, or horchata ice cream alongside chocolate, vanilla or others. It's a different selection every time and I love that. Try an authentic halo-halo - a frozen fruit treat or sometimes they have lemonade. You really can't go wrong here! read more

It was my first time visiting on a busy pre-Christmas weekend, and the staff was so friendly! Very helpful and happy to explain ingredients and favorites. They were having a 'spend $10+ and get a free pastry', which included their DELICIOUS ube tres leches. They even stored it in the fridge for people until they were ready to leave. My original order was the halo halo (the original one with ube). It was super good! And you get so much, so maybe share with a friend. :) I also got a horchata latte to go and it was delicious. It's a very cute place with tons of Frida artwork. They're selling labubus and other stuff like jewelry and trinkets from local artisans. So cool to be involved in your community :) Love that. Love this place, wish I lived closer. Will go back when I can for sure! read more

It's a cute and feel good place. We drove 32 minutes to try their halo halo and it was really good. It's a good place to try other takes on Halo Halo as well. This place blends 2 cultures and I think they're doing a good job. We bought the ube tres leches and ube-mango sticky rice. read more

I'm so so happy to have found a halo halo place here in the DFW. It's also a great idea due to the heat! Halo2 is delicious! I do wish they have the option to add more of the contents. I would love to have more of the jelly. Also recommend adding a special version where there's buko macapuno and flan topping!!! Their customer service is super. Definitely give this place a try! Ah! Also they have so many cute areas to take photos. Definitely a very instagrammable cute spot. read more

What a cute little dessert gem in Garland! The shop is actually a lot bigger on the inside than I thought and the decorations are all so cute. The staff were all nice and helpful! We ordered churros with ice cream and the donut ice cream sandwich. Both were good. The churros were made fresh on the spot. The have a Filipino dessert - halo halo - but we didn't try it because we thought it was a bit expensive $9.50 pre-tax. If we are back in the area, I will definitely be back to try other ice cream flavors and getting the churros for sure. read more

I needed help with buying 2 cakes for my dad's birthday. Zoya was super helpful and offered a helping hand to bake the cakes I wanted for my dad's birthday. I sent her pictures of the design I wanted and they came out beautifully done. I also asked her to put in some stands around the cake to prevent it from sliding around. She took pictures of where she put them so when we cut the cake we would know where they would be. I also told Zoya I had a concern about the cake melting because in the summer time it can get very hot in Texas. She told me she tested the whip cream at different temperatures to make sure it would hold up. The flavors I got were pandan with strawberry cream filling and ube with whip cream. They were two layer cakes 9X13 for $75 each. I also requested fresh fruit to be on top. I will definitely come back and buy cakes from here again! Everyone enjoyed the cake very much. read more

It is a pretty place but the customer service can be improved. I ordered an elote and in my opinion it was too seasoned and dry, and the banana pudding they gave me was old. It was made on the 6th, today is the 10th, so the cookies tasted stale and the banana tasted bad already. So I would be cautious when getting items from here. read more

Ordered an ice cream donut sandwich and was literally given a donut with half a scoop of ice cream. Total rip off!!!

They have a good vibes. And the service crew are nice. The flavors of the ice cream are really good. I love their Ube flavor!!!! I am a filipino and i grew up eating a halo halo which they also serve it's alright but I'm pretty sure they can do better . But all in all it's a very nice place read more

Plenty of parking and right next to the Blue line so definitely worth stopping by! read more

Such a cute, happy, fun and inviting storefront. Although not pictured, the exterior is beautifully painted, with a fun bench outside and bright color palette to grab the consumer's attention. When I entered, I immediately saw the interactive photo opportunity to me left, the counter straight ahead, and more photo opportunities along the shop. They offered some traditional yummy desserts and sweets a Filipino could appreciate such as puto, ube tres leche cake, traditional tres leche cake and of course Halo Halo! Now for their ice cream flavors! The owners are definitely trying to make sure their customers get have quite a selection, offering flavors you might not find elsewhere. I tried their cornbread flavor, which was rich, creamy and not overwhelming in sweetness. My kids got the blue Cookie Monster and the cookie butter (light color, chunks of butter cookie inside, butter and brown sugar notes). There were many other interesting flavors, but I was there to try their Halo Halo. Their Halo Halo was good, not overwhelming at all. I wish I had more coconut and mix at the bottom, but over all, 8/10 when I think of Halo Halo. I recommend the business and I would return when in the area. There read more

Overall - Won't be disappointed but may not be impressed What I got - Ube Horchata scoop n buns which is like an ice cream sandwich made from a donut Taste - It tasted good, and the different textures were nice with the additional cinnamon toast crunch add in. The ice cream had a unique flavor but I wanted it to be richer. The donut worked surprisingly well and didn't get soggy. Overall it wasn't too sweet and it was easy to eat and not messy. It left me wanting more. All of the parts individually were ok, but could have been better. As a whole it was much better than it's individual parts because of how it was executed. Value - $7 for the sandwich which is decent value for as good as it was. Service - Friendly service and didn't have to wait Atmosphere - very fun and chill vibes. Facility - Could fit maybe 15 people in the front room and another 35 in the back room which is kind of like a coffee shop quiet atmosphere. People were hanging out and working and socializing. There was also a super Nintendo for those who wanted a couple quick games of super Mario cart or other classics. Would I come back - yes Would I go out of my way - no Additional info - come to hang out in the back room if you are looking for a place to chill, this has great hang out energy with lots of other sweet treats to try. read more

Scoop N’ Buns - Ube horchata scoop n buns ($7), pretty good but more instagramable than tasty - Desserts Near Me - Garland, Texas

If you were to take me (Filipino) and my bf (Mexican) and turn us into a sweet shop, you'd get Scoop N' Buns. And that's exactly what the owners did! This place was recommended to me while I was doing interviews at the 2023 Palengke in Dallas. We were visiting from Seattle, but had to show up for the culture. I got the sampler that came with three mini scoops. I chose the sweet corn, ube (duh), and mango. My mom got a halohalo and my mans got the churros with Sakura crunch ice cream. Everything popped off. If you think I'm a sweet tooth, you should meet my mom. Her standards are up there but she said that this was one of her favorite stops during our whole trip. When you pull up, you know it's about to be a banger because the spot is a complete hole in the wall vibe. Once you enter, it's like stepping into a Filipino party but for a Mexican baby (in the best way). Every color imaginable will be visible and I love it. They nailed it with the ambiance. Do yourself a favor and go for some ice cream. Located in Garland. Parking available. Indoor seating available. read more

We've been waiting to go to this place for months now and finally got the chance on a Sunday after church. Located near the transit center and not too far from downtown Garland , Scoop N' Buns was a pleasant experience on a hot Sunday afternoon. We got here as soon as they opened and the appearance on the outside could never depict what the encounter will be like In the inside . Decor and artwork alone are vibes here . Very trendy and it's a must you snap a pic of some of the amazing features here. I loved the fact that they had Nintendo, childhood fav for sure! I knew almost exactly what I wanted before hand and that was the ice cream on a glazed bun. I opted for the Ube ice cream and beforehand I got to sample it which was great. I thought then buns were going to be warm but maybe that was a misinterpretation as they were room temperature. That's neither here nor there as the sandwich was delicious. Such a cool place and as a garland native, I love this addition to the city. Great job! read more
