YAY for new ice cream in J-Town! Bonus points because it's no not big, corporate ice cream, but local, possibly-made-by-someone-you-know ice cream!
Scoops N Such opened not long ago and on a recent Sunday the wife and I were looking for an afternoon snack and then realized "Wait! We haven't been to Scoops & Such yet!"
It's a small, unassuming store front sandwiched between a nail place and a Domino's Pizza in the space that used to be Cookie Dough Bliss.
The interior is cozy and as soon as you walk in you're greeted with the ice cream case, and, MAN, did all those flavors look awesome!
The young lady behind the counter helped with our orders. I was compelled to try something new, so I went with a single scoop of blackberry ice cream with chocolate chips. I don't recall the name of it, but it was 100% surprisingly good!
My wife knew what she wanted when she walked in the door: Mint Chip ice cream. I think she ranks ice cream places by their Mint Chip ice cream.
There are 24 different flavors of home made ice cream and each looked really good. It was really hard to decide.
The accent colors are a bit pastel, with a light teal being the primary color. There are a few seats for anyone who wants to eat in, and a child's table for the little ones.
To my delight I see they also have malts (a chocolate malt will be my next visit), floats, and a number of specialty Sundaes. They also offer hand-packed pints of whatever ice creams they have in the case available for purchase. In fact, as we sat enjoying our ice cream the young lady was in the process of packing those very pints.
Scoops N Such is nice, quaint, fun little place that got that old-time ice cream shoppe feel. I hope it does well! read more
