It was nice to see that there was an ice cream parlor located within the food court inside Graton, that would satisfy my sweet-tooth. I had never heard of Scoops before and thought this maybe was just a company of its own by Graton Casino. However, I realized on yelp there were other Scoops locations within Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, basically sister cities next to one another, therefore I thought Scoops was worth the try.
To start it off, point blank, it was just Okay...nothing that blew my taste buds away. Although Yelp gives this ice cream parlor a $ sign...it honestly isn't if you think about it. Yes...a scoop of ice cream may not exceed the $$ category where it is between $11-$20..however, one scoop of ice cream at Scoops is literally around $4-$5. A usual scoop of ice cream can range around $2-$3. The fact that the ice cream tasted Okay and was slightly pricey was a let down.
HOWEVER, I would say that the option of flavors were exciting. There were so many flavors to choose from, not just the regular basic flavors such as Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Mint Chip, etc. There were for example, Rum Raisin, Cheesecake, Birthday Cake, etc.
I also loved the texture of the ice cream -- very smooth and creamy, the way I like it. read more
