What better way to celebrate your birthday than with one of your favorite food groups...ice cream. Yes, it is a food group and if anyone tells you differently you do not need that kind of negativity in your life. Stopped in here following lunch, to find a bright spot in the food scene - I succeeded! A great little place, with fantastic ice cream, and nostalgia tucked in the corner candy section. I wanted one of everything on the menu, it was hard to make my decision. Opted for a Sunday (I was actually there on a Subday and found it fitting). The staff were friendly, the shop very neat with quirky pieces of furniture. Great place to stop on Route 66 for a refreshing treat. Date night, meeting friends, family outing, or to celebrate milestones...ice cream should always be part of the equation. read more

Spied this place as we were walking into the restaurant next door for dinner. I'm a sucker for ice cream. Really cool old school soda fountain vibes be with lots of Route 66 nostalgia. Extensive menu, so many choices my wife had a difficult time deciding. Core cream was creamy & delicious. Good size portions. Surprised they weren't busier on a warm evening(to be fair it is December). Only negative was one employee spent a little too much time staring at us. Granted we are from out of town, but it was a bit uncomfortable to say the least. read more

In town for an event with my Model T Ford, and ice cream is a must when driving antique cars. What a great place you have here in town, a throwback to earlier times here. Ice cream hand scooped into glass containers by a friendly staff. Unique seating in a spacious dining room. Bring your appetite or share with someone because the servings are generous. I plan on stopping every time I get close by. read more

A step back in time in the heart of town. I've been passing through Rolla quite frequently the past few months. I stopped in next door for dinner. This space caught my eye as I walked over and made sure I saved room for dessert. This is a traditional old fashioned soda shoppe. The space is fitting with old fashioned decor. There is plenty of seating to enjoy yourself treats. There were several items that I haven't seen on a menu in a long time. While there were plenty of sundaes, shakes, malts, etc on the menu I decided on a scoop of ice cream. The flavor I went with was the perfect combination of salty and sweet. The team works quickly and professionally to serve their guests. I'll be in town again soon and plan to enjoy another visit soon. read more

Old times Midwest ice cream parlor with lots of people during the summer fells like a big family inside. Great ice cream with lots of options. Fast lines!!!! read more

Very adorable, old-school ice cream shop right on the corner of the block in downtown Rolla. They do these beautiful sundaes in tall crystal glasses and also stock some more unique flavors for the adventurous eaters i.e. Exhausted Parent. I simply tried scoops of Old School Vanilla and Lemon Poppyseed. Both were absolutely delicious: creamy, smooth, and luscious. The Lemon Poppyseed in particular was outstanding, perfectly tart to balance out the sweetness and it's a flavor I haven't seen anywhere else. A single scoop here will drop you about $3.50 and the staff don't skimp; the scoops are massive!! Overall, I love this location. The storefront is charming, the ice cream is scrumptious, and the service is incredibly generous. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is due to the lack of face masks, especially by those handling food. While I understand that it's extremely common to opt not to mask up in this area, the county is also currently at high risk with huge spikes in numbers due to delta and it did make me a tad uncomfortable. read more

Soda & Scoops - Scoops of Vanilla and Lemon Poppyseed - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Rolla, Missouri

I had a float. The soda wasn't very fizzy and the ice cream was fine but not as flavorful as I had hoped (I tried 2 other flavors before choosing, none of them wowed me). The interior is fun and the staff is great, I just wasn't as into the food itself. I'd give it another shot with something off the sundae menu. read more

First time at soda and scoops, and it was a great experience. With the scorching heat outside, going in for a nice treat makes it more bearable. The staff allowed me to try lots of flavors and they also recommended their favorites to me as well. I had the shit just got real and the cake batter fudge in a waffle cone. They don't skim on their portions, I was struggling to finish it. It was rich in flavor and creamy. The staff recommended the kitty kitty bang bang, ultimate oreo and zanzibar chocolate. read more

Cute little place. Glad I came after a large group just left so I almost had the place to myself. Friendly staffs. I got the Bette Davis. It's so good. I didn't bother to get any drinks because the ice cream I got was so huge. It's sharable but why should you...lol read more

So cute & yummy! Very creative names, combos, and delicious! We had the Raspberry Rhapsody, Coconut Bliss, ultimate Oreo oat, Zanzibar, and carrot cake. Not a bad one in the bunch! Appropriate oldies playing to match. Will be back. read more

The selection was incredible! They give free samples, which should normally help a person narrow down what they want, but they were all so good! Ultimately, I got a scoop of S#@$ Got Real. It was the perfect blend of caramel and chocolate goodness with a nice cashew crunch. Would love to come back to try one of their sundaes! read more

This is a great shop. great ice cream, awesome décor and theming. It's more expensive than a McDonalds, but not too far off from any other hand-scoop Ice cream place. The specialties are alittle pricey, but for treat, split one with a friend and have a good time. read more

This was our second visit on the way to and from the lake and it was a delicious treat each time. Love the ambiance and love the friendly staff! read more

Soda and Scoops is awesome!!! I've gone here numerous times and find it more and more appealing. In the 4th of July my best friend and his girlfriend were in town and they were craving banana splits. The best thing was they were open. The banana splits were huge and delicious. If you want the experience of an old time soda shop this is the place to experience it!!!! I love the staff and the decor is very quaint and spot on. I can't wait for my next visit!!!! read more

Great ice cream in a cute corner shop! Our friends from California insist on going every time they visit!

I love this place. Their ice cream is always awesome, and I appreciate the inventiveness of their flavors. I lived in Brooklyn for the better part of a decade, and fell in love with Ample Hills there. While Soda & Scoops isn't completely comparable, it does scratch an itch that hadn't been hit in a while, with whoever is in the kitchen being unafraid to try new, whacky, controversial flavors and give them intriguing names to match. The service has always been great there too (once you make it through their incredibly slow-moving, one-person-at-a-time line). I've seen a nice mix of younger inexperienced kids and people who seem like they've been working there since the place opened, and everyone seems friendly and collaborative (and happy to be there!). A+ on every ice cream cup, ice cream float, ice cream soda, and milkshake I've ever had here. read more

Nostalgia hits you harder in this place than the awesomeness of their ice cream! It's a throwback and a true piece of Americana along Route 66. All of the ice cream combinations that I saw were based on 50s/60s actors and movies. The ice cream was excellent and my Green River was too. Great stuff!! read more

This was a fun place in the middle of Rolla. I am not a huge fan of the small town feel, but this place may have changed my mind. Everything from the good service, to the great sense of humor (see the attached pic) and most importantly the great taste. This will be a staple for when we come to visit family. read more

a great local shoppe! very clean and has such a cute vibe! the icecream is also delicious and staff is always friendly

Fantastic new ice cream place in Downtown Rolla. Clean, well staffed and the atmosphere is great. The theme is natural and fits perfectly, old school soda and ice cream shop. It'd be a great place to stop by on a weekend with friends. Rolla is lucky to have it. This review is dedicated to a certain compulsive review reader. read more

Great place for fun. Love decor and idea. Due to special orders does take awhile so they probably need some help.

Went to this place when they first opened and it was absolutely beautiful on the inside! I could tell a lot of hardwork went into this place and the people were very sweet! The floats and sodas are very affordable which is great especially for students! We will definitely be returning with more friends! Keep up the good work! read more

This is a great place in Rolla to have a date, grab some ice cream with your family, or just hangout with friends. Sometimes this place can be extremely busy and it's not worth it to wait in the long line. The trick is to come here during a weekday when it's not busy at all; you'll have amazing service if you do. I came here with some friends during a time it wasn't busy and two employees talked to us about the ice cream selections they had and what was the best thing to get. I recommend getting an espresso malt! read more

This place serves the most tantalizing, extravagant sundaes I have ever seen. I had a Bette Davis sundae, consisting of a scoop each of vanilla and chocolate ice cream smothered in hot fudge, raspberry sauce, and topped with brownie pieces. I could barely finish it, but every bite was phenomenal. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and make great recommendations. This is by far my new favorite place in Rolla! read more

Super cute ice cream shop. We were unexpectedly in Rolla with a car repair issue, and waited out our time here. Adorable decor (love the table with kids' bikes as seats) and delicious, old-fashioned ice cream treats. Servers were awesome. They gladly checked for allergens and the scoops are super generous. If we lived nearby, we'd be here a lot. Hope they succeed! read more
