I never actually went to Scoop N Scootery (requiescat in pace) before it closed at this location, even though I bike passed by every day after work. This is because I was always telling myself, "Dinner before dessert, right?" Of course, I'd never make it back after dinner. But now that Sweet Spoon is here, I finally popped in, and I'm glad I did!
First off, the staff were incredibly kind. I didn't realize how huge their "small" size is. (Think: multiple scoops!) I asked if I could get two flavors in a small (some places say no), and while the server had already started scooping one flavor, she assured me it was no big deal as she transitioned to the second flavor. Honestly, I wonder how many flavors I could cram into that small cup: it felt like four scoops! Does that mean four flavors...? (Can you tell I like variety?)
The portion is pretty insane (in a good way), but the ice cream wasn't overly sweet, which is a problem I often have with ice cream. I ended up with Campfire S'mores (YUM) and Cappuccino Chip (also yum!), and it absolutely hit the spot. I sat at the high top, ate ice cream, and watched the sunset on a blazing hot day.
Did I eat dinner that day?
No.
...but do you even need dinner when ice cream feels like a meal and contains protein, carbs, fat, along with Vitamins A and D, and calcium?
Also no!
In any case, I'll definitely be back to try more flavors, and to see what the homemade tiramisu and that Dubai chocolate dessert are all about. read more
