This place is a must-try when in the area! We were in town for the Bronco Super Celebration event and stayed next door at the Marriott hotel for 4 days. The first night we ate at the tavern next door, and wanted a sweet treat for the walk back to the hotel, so we popped in for a couple waffle cones. First, the shop is very cute and clean, and all the staff are so kind and helpful. I tried several samples before making my decision (there's SO many amazing flavors to choose from!) and decided on the toasted coconut chunk for me, and brownie batter for my boyfriend, both in a waffle cone. The waffle cones are made fresh after you order, and then filled with their amazing (all homemade!) ice cream. We both agreed it was the best ice cream we've probably ever had (cone included!) Serving size was perfect and prices super reasonable. We proceeded to stop by every single day of our trip - that's how good! During our visits, we also had the Twix, Reese's, cookie dough, and samples of Tennessee turtle, caramel bear tracks, and coffee brownie. All were amazing and so hard to decide! On our last visit, the owner came out to chat with us & meet our pup (we had taken it to go each time and sat outside to eat since we had our dog with us). She was so sweet and clearly passionate about creating not only an amazing product, but a great experience overall. We are already excited for our next visit to the area so we can visit for ice cream every day again!! Don't miss this amazing family owned local spot! read more

What a beautiful, quaint little ice cream shop! Ice cream is homemade - tastes fresh and delicious. Waffle cones are also freshly made AND can be made with different flavors. We had a few of the sorbets, dulce de leche, Oreo ice cream in waffle cones and cherry ice cream in a chocolate waffle cone. Very friendly service. Off the main parkway and so worth it! Definite must-stop if you're in the area. We WILL be back!! read more

A big yes. I love ice cream. I love finding local creameries that make their own ice cream. After talking to the owner we found she used to own the Scoops at the outer banks. It was awesome there as well. I gauge all creameries in the banana split. Screw that up and I know I haven't found the place. Owner asked if I wanted a traditional split and I'm like oh yeah. That's what I got. Chocolate, vanilla and strawberry with chocolate sauce, pineapple and strawberry topping with wet nuts. Boom!!! Solid split for $13.99. Highly recommend if you're in the area of pigeon forge to give them a shot. Amended Came back later the same day for a dessert after dinner. Reese's sundae absolutely fabulous. read more

Freshly made waffle cones, great ice cream, and friendly staff. Best ice cream I've had in a while.

Saw this business featured on yelp as one of the top 100 ice cream shops in the USA. Since we are in town on vacation, we decided to give it a try. We each had a kids size cinnamon waffle cone with salted caramel ice cream. The homemade ice cream and freshly made waffle were phenomenal. Great combo. Staff is very friendly and quick. Plenty of flavors in ice cream and choice of waffle cones and bowls. Would definitely recommend! read more

The service was AWESOME!!! The staff was so funny and kind. They were short staffed, but did their absolute best to get everyone's order done in a timely manner. They also took their time, if someone wanted to try a flavor. The ice cream was smooth and creamy. We tried Cookie Monster, cookies and cream, cherry and pineapple sorbet. It was all so good. They also make their own waffle cones and bowls. It is cute inside and smells good. A definite MUST if you are in Pigeon Forge. read more

What a great little gem of an ice cream shop! Had a chocolate/chocolate dipped waffle cone with ice cream and it was fabulous. The staff were very friendly and working super hard to keep up with the tourist crowd. A few tables inside to sit at and 3-4 chairs outside. We were lucky to get a seat but several others had to stand. Overall I would definitely return. read more

Best thing we had in Pigeon Forge, this was a sweet treat. If we were there longer I'm sure we would have visited more. Opening time and days are short so check their hours before you go. A little pricey but i think it's worth it. read more

Great ice cream on a fresh made cone. First batch of peach this year and it's delicious.

We originally went to another place practically around the block but they were on a company picnic lol. It became a joke for us. Anyway my son was hysterical because I promised ice cream and omg it was closed. Luckily I quickly jumped on yelp and saw around the block was this place! Delicious ice cream was had by all and was one of our best ice cream experiences while in the area. Cute place. read more

The Bad News is I didn't take a picture to show what a great cone I got. The Good News is I'll be back so that's not a big deal. We LOVE our ice cream on vacation and try to find our fixture parlor in every city or town we visit! Scoops is right next to Food City and down the street from The Island entertainment center. So the ambiance is simple and has enough seating for about 10-15 people. Family owned and operated, I struck up the best conversation with the owner who opened Scoops after her daughter moved here from N.C. All of the flavors are designed and fashioned by her so no cartons or brands here. Just smooth, creamy, and generous scoops of ice cream and sorbets. For me it was traditional cookies and cream with giant chunks of Oreo and a banana pudding with vanilla wafer chunks that should be a southern delicacy! This was in the best waffle cone I've ever had that actually had taste and was sturdy and enough to hold the ice cream. At the End of the Day. Scoops is now officially our parlor in the Smoky Mountains for future visits and look forward to many future visits! read more

You will not be disappointed! The waffle cones/bowls are made fresh to order. Our family tried the cinnamon waffle bowl and lemon waffle bowl. We tried coffee brownie, apple pie, pumpkin cheesecake, hot chocolate, and banana pudding ice cream and pineapple sorbet with pineapple topping and pomegranate sorbet with strawberry topping. Everything was delicious. Even our pup enjoyed her pup cup! The place was pretty busy when we were there but still had exceptional service. read more

Best pumpkin pie ice cream I've ever had!! They had some really unique flavors. Definitely worth the stop.

I'm still dreaming of this ice cream shop. The selection of flavors was insane! Whether you love chocolate, vanilla, fruit, or anything in between, you'll find something you love. I had a sundae, which you customize with your choice of ice cream and toppings. Absolutely decadent! One of my sisters ordered cantaloupe ice cream freshly made with local cantaloupes. One of the BEST flavors I've ever tried. The shop itself is cute and a decent size. The woman who helped was, who I assume was the owner, was the sweetest and so helpful. As my dad said, "you'd buy anything from her." Highly recommended! read more
