We walked in to grab some dessert after having dinner nearby. I had not read any reviews, so I had no idea what to expect. The kids working behind the counter were super friendly and polite. The shop was clean and they had a nice variety of flavors. After tasting a couple, I ordered one scoop in a cup... The scoop was literally almost the size of an entire pint of ice cream. People comment that this place is expensive, and yes, one scoop was eight dollars, but it was the quantity of nearly a pint of ice cream! I couldn't even finish it! So if you're looking for a normal scoop of ice cream at a normal price, go with the kids size and you won't be disappointed. That being said, it was some pretty amazing ice cream! Super creamy, seemed very high-quality and really flavorful. I would definitely go back there! read more

Good ice cream and nice kid with a presentable layout enjoyed liked the ambiance would go again

Nice ice cream shop. Sign on door said all profits went to charity, not sure if this was a temporary thing or they do this all the time but nice. Lots of ice cream to choose from, they give samples too. Expensive but all ice cream shops are now. The two scoop was huge, we went with the kids scoop. read more

Wow what a place! Not sure why people are throwing so much hate, the icecream is made in house - a locally owned small business. Delicious and creamy so much flavor. The amount you get in a "small" is a TON. Skylar was so polite and friendly. This is a must stop in Hot Springs. Great place. read more

I have been here several times with no problem. Went last night for milkshakes and they were watered down, flavorless and almost had shaved ice in it. He drank his on the way home to Bismarck and said it was gross. I put mine in the freezer and ate it 4 hours later. With 2 flavors, it had no taste. It was also not frozen and had ice in it. For $24 that's insane. So gross read more

creamy home made goodness...lots of interesting flavors. huge servings ...we had sundaes and the one scoop was like 2

My husband treated me to an ice cream cone after a long day of hiking and adventures. We were visiting Hot Springs and wanted to try a local ice cream shop! The ice cream is delicious and the portion size was surprisingly bigger than I expected! I got an ice cream cone with one scoop of Turtle Tracks and my husband got one scoop of cookies and cream. One scoop is actually two scoops of ice cream, which was a surprise to me but I wasn't complaining! I wish we had one back home because I would definitely go back! read more

Wow! This is the most creamiest, delicious home made ice cream I've ever had!! You can taste the difference between homemade ice cream and store bought. I got the cookie dough ice cream and I definitely will be back to eat it again! Super refreshing during these hot summer days! It was a perfect way to cool the kiddos off. It was on the pricey side but I do not mind paying extra for quality food! Service was good and fast and very chill. There's plenty of seating inside! read more

I agree it is a little on the pricier side but they have flavors that you dont see in any other store! I ordered one scoop, I'm glad I did because the one scoop was really big! I would say it is worth every penny! It is not too sweet and very creamy. read more

I really liked their ice cream. Service was good. Small eating area and that's why most get it to go. read more

Tasted good. Service was okay, they didn't look too happy about working there. Went to the bathroom, saw two roaches. One in the unbelievably LONG hallway to get there, and one in the bathroom. They didn't have any soap laid out so i had to find it in their cabinets. read more

Went there and got a hot fudge sundae with 2 scoops. The size was good, but it is also not cheap - 15 bucks about. The taste was alright. Just a simple place . If you are around, u can check it out. read more

We've always enjoyed our ice cream from Scoops, since the first time we visited back around 1991. We purchased a lot in HSV,, and visited at least a couple of times a year, always making a stop here.. We purchased our house in 2014 and the ice cream is still great, but unfortunately the prices have gone up due to inflation... read more

We love Scoops! We are in town visiting and went to Scoops 2 nights in a row because the ice cream was that good. The first time we got regular scoops from the case and the second night we were too full from dinner to eat ice cream right then so we got pints from the freezer and brought them back to the airbnb. So so so yummy, you have to try it. I'm trying to figure out how to get some pints back home in Texas without them melting. :) read more

We came in to get ice cream at 8:45p and the girl working was the only employee. The place was full. Every chair filled she handled it with grace , fast and helpful to each person like they were the only one. She is great! Oh! So is the ice cream! read more

Meh. I guess by Scoops they mean one scoop full of air because that's what I got. They weren't very busy but they were pretty slow. Maybe they had just reopened after COVID so I'm trying not to judge too harshly. The ice cream tasted ok but my one scoop was mostly air so that was disappointing. Hubby had one scoop that was good so they did ok there. It's not a huge place and it may get busier I'm the summer and maybe they get better at scooping. I would maybe go back to check and see if I were in the area though. read more

The ice cream is homemade and they have some unusual flavors. I tried turtle tracks and it had lots of chocolate syrup. My usual favorites like cookie dough or cookies and cream didn't look like there was much "stuff" in them. The scoops are huge, double the size you'd expect. read more

This ice cream is so smooth and delicious! They have lots of choices of flavors, I personally like the plain vanilla. It reminds me of the ice cream my grandmother used to make. The young man who waited on us was very friendly and patiently helped my husband choose a flavor. The store was clean and quite considering the line of people who came in after we arrived. The great taste is well worth visiting again and again! read more

Scoops Ice Cream - Late night snack on some homemade vanilla ice cream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Scoops Ice Cream is a must visit while in Hot Springs! My group and I visited Scoops around 1 p.m. and we were the only customers in the store for a little bit before we were joined by a few other locals. The variety of different ice cream flavors is incredible! My group and I ordered pistachio, blueberry cobbler, and mango. The ice cream was rich with flavor and super creamy! The price for the quality and size was reasonable. We each ordered a small and received 2 large scoops. In addition 10+ ice cream flavors, Scoops offers concretes and smoothies. There is ample seating, with several long picnic tables inside. We did not feel crowded at all when joined by others. UPDATE: My group and I have visited Scoops two more times on our visit to Hot Springs. We cannot get enough. This ice cream is absolutely incredible. read more

They close at 9p on Friday's ? What Ice-Cream shop does that smh....... Is this normal especially in a hot summer night? read more

Six of is went after dinner, we wanted to see what the fuzz was about (reviews and recommendations). 5 each got one scoop waffle cone and one child had a child scoop, for a total of $36 dollars (OUCH!!!!!). For the price, this should be the creamiest most delicious ice cream in the state of Arkansas..... it was not. My wife got the cafe latte, I got the rocky road, the others got mint chocolate chip, vanilla bean, The creaminess is average, the sweetness is not too sweet (which is good) because it doesn't give you an immediate sugar high (so you get two stars for that). The ingredients, that is where you lost stars) the lack of ingredients. The mint should have a punch of mint and plenty of chips. The rocky road (my Lifetime favorite) had zero marshmallows and lacked chocolate flavor, you couldn't tell it was rocky road because it was a whitish brown color ice cream (pretty strange), it tasted a little like chocolate, but reminded me of me drinking milk with powder chocolate Quick. Vanilla bean was plain vanilla (like having a vanilla shake from Sonic). I wish i had tasted the mango ice cream, which should be made with fresh mango chunks (I hope you don't make it with mango flavor), maybe next time. I regret skipping dessert at dinner to come and try some homemade ice cream. read more

Ice cream is just ice cream... Bah humbug! Anyone who says this has not been to Scoops. I have tried 8 different flavors so far and have not found anything wrong with any of them. You can really tell that they take pride in their product- the taste is a perfect blend of taste, texture and sweetness. My favorite flavor is the peanut butter but it also seems like it is the first ones they sell out of. The suicide by chocolate is really good too. Mix them up and get a shake with these two and I promise you that you will not leave disappointed. The one downside is they do not accept cash. That, to me was a bit annoying and I think it could limit their audience- especially younger kids that may just walk over from the lake or neighborhood. That is the only reason I could not give it 5 stars- there is definitely nothing wrong with the product!! read more

I got two scoops of the butter pecan in a waffle cone. It was very good! They had a TON of flavors and some I had never heard of before. Its all homemade. Two scoops was well enough, I could've settled fine with one. Great hole in the wall type place. read more

Happy we stopped in here to try the homemade Ice Cream. Ordered single scoop, and hoped it was enough for the waffle cone. It was more than enough. The scoops are huge, and the ice cream and cone were fantastic. read more

I love the ice creams even though they are EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. I decide to treat myself with them occasionally. Every time I go there the teenage girls that work there are very rude. It's always a different girl but the same attitude as the last if not worse. I've worked in an ice cream shop, I understand how boring it can be. I know how annoying it can be to be slow allllllll day and then suddenly a bunch of people walk in at once. But I am literally greeted with someone rude every time I go. I spent 30 dollars on 2 scoops of ice cream yesterday!!!!! That's INSANE but I love the ice cream that usually it's worth it. I usually order shakes and decided to get a sundae for the first time and the girl working there was very rude and condescending when explaining to me what comes on a sundae after I had some confusion on the toppings that go on it. It made me feel bad and it wasn't even that big of a deal for her to be so mean about it. Money is so hard to come by nowadays working in food service and I just wanted to enjoy some ice cream with what I had. I even tipped because that's just the nice thing to do. But I can't spend my hard earned money there anymore and justify the price on top of the treatment I get every time. You guys got the ice cream down but the customer service is trash. If you don't like your job then don't take it out on PAYING CUSTOMERS. I used to recommend you guys to everyone but now I won't be going back myself. I hope you guys get it together and find and employees that know how to work in customer service, care about their jobs, and take customers feelings into consideration. read more

Its an ice cream parlor. The ice cream is fine, mostly standard flavors and options such as shakes, cones, cups. My biggest issue is the price. 15 bucks for two small ice creams, 1 scoop each. At that cost you'd expect mix-ins or at least 2 scoops. Granted it's a giant scoop but still not justifying the price. read more

Great i've cream but expensive .. asked what size a small was and girl said golf ball size ?? So I ordered a large ... $9.00... a small is more like 3/4 of a baseball .. oh well . read more

Scoops Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Really good creamy ice cream and friendly service. It seems like they have high turnover which means the ice cream is fresh. Warning: Cash or check only, they have an atm by the cashier in case you're like most people and don't carry cash. It will charge you $3 for cash. The only downside is it's kinda pricey. One flavor is 6.95 and if you want two flavors it's 8.95 but at least the waffle cone is free. I recommend this place just bring cash, lots of it! read more

Okay, so it's a little pricey, but compared to even the best ice cream in the freezer aisle, their ice cream is more satisfying then any store bought ice cream and almost any experience in a hot spring. read more

This business boasts homemade ice cream. The death by chocolate that I got was mediocre at best. It was also expensive, over $8 for one plain waffle cone. They don't accept cash so we had to use a card. The two teenagers working were pleasant enough. Not worth the money in my opinion read more

We went to scoops during their soft open and it was amazing!! We were helped by a gentleman named Jayden, and he made sure our ice creams and shakes were too out liking. DEFINITELY COMING BACK!! read more

Good homemade ice cream with large scoops. Prices are a bit expensive though, can add up for a family and kids.
