Their young workers had great service and food was tasty with lots of flavor. The look and ambiance was perfect

Kiddie size is perfect when you just want a little scoop. The Nicollet pothole is a dark chocolate ice cream with caramel and mini chocolate caramel cups. Very rich and good salty chocolate flavor. The chocolate isn't too dark. It was pretty busy on a Friday evening and felt pretty jumbled read more

Small ice cream shop that carries some Sebastian Joes flavors. There are a few bar stools you can sit in inside, along with small tables in the hallway outside of the shop and some picnic tables outside. It was busy when I visited and service was a little disorganized and chaotic. The kiddie scoop portion is good. read more

Cute smaller ice cream shop. They have over a dozen flavors which is nice but hard to narrow it down sometimes. I ended up ordering 2 scoops in a waffle bowl. I got blueberry waffle cone and Superman. Both ice creams were really good. Prices were very reasonable. I loved all the decor. They also had a little candy shop. Sugar on sugar. Staff were nice and greeted everyone as they walked in. They don't have much seating inside but a few in the hallway and maybe outside on nicer days. Parking is easy on either side of the shop. read more

Being going here since I was a kid. It has a fun eclectic nostalgic vibe in it that you won't find anywhere else. Service is great, prices reasonable and they do punch cards. Every 10 stamps you get a free ice cream! They serve bridgemans and Sebastian joes ice cream in addition to some others. My favorite is the oatmeal chocolate chip. It's conveniently tucked between a coffee shop and a Chinese take out. Across the street is mini golf and a park. In the same strip center is a fun claw prize game shop. There's seating inside and outside. It's definitely worth the trip. read more

I love Scoops!! They have a great selection of ice cream. I just wish they had a Banana Split. To improve they need more inside tables

This is starting to be a very special place for me and my partner. It's the mid way point between our houses and we love to meet here for a little sweet treat. Most recently we were there on a rainy cold night. I wanted ice cream, so that's what we did. The young lady who was working understood completely! The punch card is almost full so I can get a free scoop! read more

Really cute shop that we stumbled on. This is a busy place and has a decent selection in ice cream. It is small and a bit cramp inside . I think it's actually overalls crowded and some what feels a little dingy. I think the price is good and ice cream was very yummy. I would say come here , grab ice cream and go outside . read more

Being open until midnight on Wednesday, 7/3/24 is an automatic 5 stars from me! I came across this hidden gem while looking for cities to watch fireworks and knew my besties and I had to go. Lots of ice cream flavors to pick from. The chocolate lover in me went with something called pothole... I do not remember the exact name (so sorry). Regardless it was good and I'd definitely get the same flavor again. I got mine in a sugar cone. Next time, I'd enjoy it in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. Service was good and quick. Ice cream shop was old school like to me... gave me 90's ish diner vibes. Cute hidden spot in Bloomington. We enjoyed our icecream outside where there are a handful of tables and chairs to sit at. Highly recommend. They also gave us a coupon for future use. read more

Darn good ice cream!! Was very busy when we were there. Great service! Definitely going back soon! read more

They have Play-Doh ice cream so enough said... Great little ice cream shop right across from a mini golf course hidden in a strip mall, so it makes an excellent place to celebrate your after game victory. Lots of flavors to choose from, they offer Sebastian Joe's, Bridgeman's, Kemp's, and Cedarcrest ice cream flavors. Prices are excellent, $3 - $5 for one or two scoops. You can get SJ's ice cream for an absolute steal here. One of the best places to get hand dipped hard ice cream in the suburbs. read more

service, ice cream and the scenery is awesome! we just moved from FL and we came about 3 times here already! Our Family loves scoops and all the flavors they have to offer! Can't wait till next year for re-opening time again! read more

We love Scoops! It's close to our house and has the feeling of an old school ice cream shop. Everyone working there is friendly and they have a wide variety of flavors. read more

Online on mule platforms it says they are open. However, unloaded my young kiddos and found out they are closed for the season and will reopen on march 15th. read more

Such a fun place to visit on a hot summer day! Scoops is a small little ice cream shop that definitely stays busy. My mom and I decided to go get ice cream today for a little treat and I had never been to scoops. We waited in line for about 10 minutes. They have about 18-20 different flavor options to choose from, and multiple different ways for it to be severed. You can choose from a traditional cone, sugar cone, waffle cone, bowl, or waffle bowl. I chose to get a 2 scoop bowl with the flavors Banana Buttercup and S'more! Both were extremely delicious! They give you a lot of ice cream for your money here, I was stuffed by the time I got to the bottom of my bowl. My mom had a waffle cone with the Dragon Berry flavor, she didn't care for it too much, wished it had a bit more flavor. However I think she was less impressed because it was a sorbet. Either way we had a great time and will be coming back for some more treats! read more

My Favorite ice cream spot! Always lots of flavors to choose from. The flavors constantly change so it's always a surprise what will be available when you go. Some of my all-time favorites: banana cream pie, key lime, lemon bar, licorice, playdough! read more

If you are fortunate to find this place open. Go. Nice selection of ice creams. High quality! Makes summer great to have a place that doesn't serve Chocolate shoppe ice cream. Thanks read more

When I think of Scoop's I recall my childhood. I've been coming here since I was very little and not much has changed about this place except the flavors, but that's part of the charm. I came here again a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised that they had some more interesting varieties like honey ginger (unfortunately it was out so I didn't get to try it) along with the classics like superman. The price is fairly reasonable, too, at 3.25 for a small cup. I got the angelica, which has coffee and hazelnut in it. Definitely yummy, satisfying, rich and creamy! I eyed some of the other flavors but since they had chips and other things in them I couldn't eat them due to my wisdom teeth being pulled out; they looked really good, though. I'll definitely stop by again once I heal up. Verdict: As I recall, it served up some great ice cream 10 years ago, and it still does! read more

Scoops Ice Cream - coffee + hazelnut flavor - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

A west side Bloomington staple. Scoops is a 'must-visit' if you live nearby. Is it a big place? No. But it has loads of character. The ice cream parlor is only open in the Spring and Summer months and closes every winter making it's re-opening day a fun event for those in the neighborhood. Usually staffed by high school aged students. Expect a line especially if you go after any little league games at Dred Scott playfields across the street. There are a few tables outside of Scoops but not much for seating to enjoy your ice cream. Plan for that when you visit. Also, if there is a line, it will curve within the store and then out the door. It gives you a chance to survey all of the flavors before it's your turn to order. You can also check out all the memorabilia on the walls while you wait. When you go there, you'll see what I mean. They do have a wide variety of options and an extensive menu. You can get a cone, cup, shake, malt, etc. Also, they have a card reader or you can pay with cash. I think that's everything :) read more

We work nearby so we decided to stop in, it was small but I loved the character of the store with al of the retro decorations! I got Pavarotti with toffee bits in a waffle cone! read more

Well the start of the season comes about and we are here, and it makes it that much easier if you live in the neighborhood as my sister's family does. At first we came at a time they were closed and then came back. The Sebastian Joe's flavored ice creams are so good. I got the Pavarotti and tried the Raspberry Chocolate Chip which I struggled over and decided on. You really can't go wrong with either. They also have popsicles and other sweets if you can't do dairy or just want something else. There's only a couple small tables inside but I think it's best eaten outdoors. Prices are reasonable and the guy working there was nice and didn't give me a hard time after dropping my first sample. read more

Yummy ice cream in many flavors, some unique to Scoops. Doesn't open until later though, so make sure to check before promising your kid(s) ice cream. It is pretty close to a busy(ish) road, but the outdoor seating is on the parking lot side, so less worry if you have younger kids. read more

We love scoops! They even bring in specialty ice cream when you ask for it enough! We love Spumoni Ice cream!

Best ice cream in the entire metro area! My personal favorite...Licorice !!! Very hard to find flavor and even harder to find that's actually good, theirs is AMAZING! THANK YOU SCOOPS for also taking care of us goofy flavor lovers. read more

Awesome cheap ice cream. Ya? But one problem, tiny cups for water. SHOT SHOTS of water!?!? read more

We love this place. Great flavors, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Can't beat that!

Last night was my first and last time at scoops. Waited in line for 20 mins and when I finally got to the front and ordered a vanilla shake I was told "we are not allowed to make shakes when we are busy" . Was very disappointing that they two workers there didn't have time to make what I wanted but they didn't have a problem waiting for people that didn't know what they want and sample few flavors before making their minds, also if your not going to serve shakes when you are busy perhaps you guys can put a sing at the door so people don't waste their time !! read more

Scoops makes fantastic ice cream and serves it with a smile! They have a wide selection of flavors to choose from, and the prices are pretty reasonable. The staff is noticeably friendlier than that of most food service establishments. The best part - they're very generous with free samples. read more

This place deserves five stars and here's why: -Bloomington owned and operated family business run by two full-time teachers. -One of the few spots untouched by the corporate machine. Sure, it's not perfect, but when you're not shareholder-owned and run by a team of Ivy League-educated executives, it's not going to be perfect. Want perfect (but impersonal) service? Head to DQ. Want a true American ice cream experience? Hit up scoops. -Unique decor full of 90s nostalgia... The only place in West Bloomington with a signed picture of Bill Clinton. -Interesting ice cream flavors (I can't speak to the frozen yogurt which has some bad Yelp reviews) -kid friendly atmosphere... Sometimes they just play Disney movies on little TVs by the tables. read more

Scoops is my go to local ice cream shop. They serve Sebastian Joe's at FAR CHEAPER prices than if you go to Sebastian Joe's. It can be difficult to find a place to sit as it is a small place. Izzy's is better ice cream, but for the value Scoops is the best in Bloomington. read more

Good ice cream with interesting flavors. The waffle cones are really good & they have dipped waffle cone options too.

Our favorite ice cream joint in the twin cities. Great selection of ice cream and super reasonable prices. Teens who work here are patient with the kids and always friendly. Hidden gem. read more

We live right down the street from Scoops, which makes going there hard to resist. It's a seasonal ice cream shop with unique ice cream flavors. Every flavor that I have had so far has been good. They also sent out coupons in the mailers for buy one get one, and we love a great deal! read more

Amazing ice cream and super friendly staff, have literally never had an experience where a staff member hasn't been super friendly with me or my friends. read more

Scoops is amazing. Staff us nice, lots of flavors, usually fast. They have a sampler option so you can try multiple flavors.

I've been going to Scoops since it opened 20+ years ago. The owner has always employed Bloomington students and the ice cream quality has stayed top notch over the years. The place looks almost exactly the way it did at the beginning but that gives it a nostalgic charm for Bloomington kids. The actual store is pretty small and there is almost always a line to or out the door but there's room to enjoy your ice cream in the lobby space or outside the building. I love Scoop's and would choose it over almost any other ice cream shop in the Twin Cities. read more

A nice little ice cream spot with some good flavors, though it is telling that they have Sebastian Joe's ice cream. For my money, it makes sense to simply go to Joe's which of course is divine. read more
