We came here for a bite to eat and orange creamsicle soft serve that we saw posted on their facebook. Unfortunately, food is not served after 4pm, which I did not see stated on their website/menu. And unfortunately they were out of the creamsicle soft serve and were now serving pineapple. Their hard ice cream is Richardson. I ordered a kids cup and paid for myself, after my friend did the same. Portion sizes were way off, one a lot bigger than the other, not sure if it was luck of the draw, but the same person scooped both, one order left a tip, the other didn't. They have some outdoor seating at picnic tables. If all tables are full I've seen people bring blankets and sit on the grassy hill. read more

Theirs gets a plus because there large is around 32 ounces.. I like that, but it had a burnt taste to it almost, & yet at the same time not very strong. The Flight coffee co.

Tons of great flavors to choose from, lots of sizes and great customer service! I went with my default order - small mocha chip, chocolate sprinkles and a sugar cone in a cup. A kiddie size would have been sufficient, I should know better by now. Husband got a brownie sundae with S'mores ice cream, caramel sauce and whipped cream. Not only did we love the ice cream, I am ready go back and try another flavor. Blueberry pie, anyone? read more

If you are looking for the world's best frappe than look no further than the Inside Scoop. I have lived in Bedford for over 3 years and have heard raving reviews on this place but never made a point to stop in. I was disappointed in myself that I did not stop sooner because the Coffee Nitro Frappe is by far the best. It's pure perfection. I also have never been to a small business that truly has employees that radiate positive energy even when the owner is not there. This is a sign of a good owner that not only cares about her business, but her employees also. If you are looking for a great, clean place to grab some ice cream, a snack or the worlds best frappe. This is your spot! There is indoor seating also and in the summer an amazing hill to sit and eat your treats. read more

I love spending mornings at the inside scoop! The coffee is so yummy but I never feel that caffeinated from it. The breakfast sandwiches are also incredible. The only downside is they don't offer sandwiches with sausage. I was told this is because they have no way to cook the sausage (microwaved sausage doesn't sound too good to me). The avocado, egg, tomato, cheese is my favorite sandwich on the menu. Totally worth the stop, a favorite breakfast place among my friends. I wish you all Heath and safety during this hard time. We will be back soon!! read more

This is the local kids hangout after school and it's a really nice place. The ice-cream is very good. The portions are massive, if there was one criticism I wish there was a smaller portion you could choose that was actually cheaper. They do the usual trick of the small portion only being slightly less pricey than the medium/large ones. I'd prefer it if there was a genuinely smaller portion. Other than that, good ice-cream and a nice building to eat it in. read more

The inside scoop is by far one of the best small local businesses in Bedford. This establishment has been here since I was 10 years old. The inside scoop employees are by far some of the kindest people I have ever come to meet, some of the girls even know my coffee order everytime I come in. They have created a space that is welcome to all ages, the ice cream hill for the young ones and the amazing coffee and food makes this place great. Never in my 3-4 years of coming to the scoop have I had one bad meal/coffee or bad customer service. Everyone is always so kind and wonderful. This coffee shop is really one of a kind and during this time they are working endlessly to secure the safety of the community of Bedford. The inside scoop is definitely a place that needs to be represented in an extremely positive way because they really have outdone themselves in all the years They have been open. read more

The Inside Scoop is truly one of my favorite little coffee places I have visited. I am a graduating senior from Saint Anselm College, fortunately just a short drive away from the Scoop, and I know for a fact how much our campus adores having the Scoop. I'm an avid coffee drinker and I always prefer black so I can truly taste how good (or not good) the beans are and it's safe to say the Scoop has some pretty great coffee. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for, as well as many of their other sandwich and salad options. However, my favorite part about the Scoop is how much they care about the surrounding community. Not only did they host a Saint A's day and gave out free coffee and held a raffle for students, but even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic they are still doing all they can to be there for the community. Can't wait to be back soon! read more

My husband and I went for a car date here this past weekend while our toddler napped in the back seat (we needed the little man to sleep for just a few more minutes so he wasn't a monster later), ordered a couple frappes online and off we drove. It's maybe 2 miles from our house...by the time we got there they were ready! It was our first time having anything from The Inside Scoop and WE WILL BE BACK. The regular coffee sounds amazing (the coffee frappe I had was so good) and I'm looking forward to breakfast sandwiches in our future. My husband got the moose on the loose frappe...also amazing!

The owner Hillary is one of the sweetest most genuine people I know. She is always there open with a smile on her face and there to talk with every customer if they are a regular of a new face.

I miss going inside and seeing all the staff's friendly faces, but I also am aware that typically there's at least 20+ people typically in the restaurant at all times. Due to this pandemic, having that many people in a small cafe, I realize, is just not realistic! They have really thought of the perfect way to serve their customers with convince, safety, and a short wait! I can't wait until the inside is open again, but for now thank you for continuous new ideas to serve your amazing products! read more

There's something wrong with anyone who gives the Inside Scoop anything but a five star review. Not only are their sandwiches, drinks and ice cream delicious and their staff friendly and helpful but their community spirit is unlike any other restaurant of its type. During Covid 19, they have shown appreciation for so many groups of people( teachers, firemen, the police) they have also maintained a strong media presence that has helped their hundreds of friends and supporters stay connected to them. I can't wait to visit post Covid.19; my mouth is watering for a chicken salad croissant and an iced coffee. Thank you, Hil, for starting this amazing place and for all you do for so many throughout the year! read more

The Inside Scoop is a very special place in Bedford, New Hampshire. The owner takes great care in who she hires, what she serves, the ambiance she has created and the overall experience. The menu is centered around ice cream (hence the name); however, the menu has expanded to offer breakfast sandwiches, other sandwiches and soups, coffee and other bakery goods. During the COVID pandemic that we are all living through, they have taken extra caution and care when they are open and are always looking to protect themselves and their customers, have donated and taken care of many in our community and have also been offering free masks. Would give them 10 stars if I could. Always well done! read more

The Inside Scoop is my favorite little restaurant in Bedford! The online ordering process is easy. They post stories frequently on instagram (@theinsidescoopnh) which makes it really easy to stay informed about hours, new flavors, and must try combinations. I think the coffee is the best in town. I also think the ice cream servings are fairly big, which is awesome...you get a good heap of ice cream when you order a kiddie. They also have good customer service. On a busy day they once forgot to scoop my ice cream. They apologized, gave me my ice cream, and also gave me a ticket so I could get one on the house next time I visited. You won't regret supporting this local business. read more

I'm friends with Hillary's niece and I remember the day years back in second grade when she walked in to class all excited about her aunt opening the only ice cream shop in Bedford! It's 10 years later and I am still just as excited every time I get to go to The Scoop! As a senior in Bedford now, the Scoop will be a tough one to say goodbye to as I go to college next year! It's the heart of Bedford! There's never a time you don't bump into someone you know, and never a time you leave without a smile on your face. Grateful for all those moments that The Scoop's employees saved me from a hard day serving me ice cream, coffee, etc... all always with a smile!! read more

I'm going to put this simply for readers... I drive from Stoneham MA just to get their iced coffee during this pandemic (and prior). When I lived in Bedford I would go almost daily. The staff goes above and beyond to remember customers and what they like to order and the owner creates a family environment for everyone who enters. I cannot wait for COVID to end so my children and I can resume our visits on the ice cream hill. They haven't stopped asking when we can go inside and visit again. And then I can get my blt wrap with pickles again. (Absolutely dying over here without it)The food is the freshest cafe food I've had. read more

"The Scoop" is my favorite restaurant to go to in Bedford, and it's not just because of the amazing ice cream and raspberry 95/5s (seriously.. i'm obsessed!) the workers are so kind and nice that's it's a lovely environment to go with my friends. I'm beyond proud and impressed with Hillary and her amazing staff handling this pandemic as they have created a system that is not only safe, but customer friendly for everyone. They are always considerate of your needs and go above and beyond to protect your health. I will continue to support this small business during these trying times, and I hope everyone else will too! read more

I regularly drive 25 mins to get a coffee & breakfast sandwich from "the scoop" (or "THE ICE CREAM SCOOP!!!" as my kids call it)! Their ice cream is amazing, the food is great, the owner is always so wonderful & kind. I HIGHLY recommend asking for coffee flavor combination recommendations (or personal recommendations of ice cream scoops in coffee) - I often rely on their expertise when deciding what to get! Love this place and everything about it and I'm so happy to see them continue to do well even with the temporary limitations on how they do business. Would give more than 5 stars if possible. read more

The inside scoop has some amazing ice cream and without a doubt the best jalapeño cheddar bagels I have ever had! Not to mention the coffee and flavors that they offer are pretty great too. The owner is also the sweetest. I love how they have the take out option like a few other ice cream places (moo's place) and I think the precautions they have taken to make sure that customers and staff are safe have been amazing. Not to mention how much they have donated to nurses,teachers and students in Bedford to try to do their part and make people smile. Keep doing the great work! read more

Kudos to all at the Inside Scoop! Growing up in MA, I was ecstatic to hear that my new hometown of Bedford has "Richardsons" ice cream, the most flavorful, delicious ice cream out there (in my opinion!). Portions are perfect (although I did have trouble finishing a small!), there is a massive variety of flavors to choose from, and the staff is super friendly and always smiling. I am looking forward to trying the new breakfast sandwiches! I would highly recommend anyone, any age, to check out the Inside Scoop. YUMmMm!!! Thanks for bringing your greatness to our town!! read more

We love the inside scoop! They have great coffee and the kids love how many different flavors they have for ice cream. We will continue to support this small business in the heart of our home town during and after this challenging and new time we face. This is no place to shame others for their beliefs however some of the complaints on the negative review are just ridiculous and this person clearly has never met the owner! If you have a suggestion or even a complaint contact them and give them the chance to make it right we love the scoop! read more

The best of the best! My kids LIGHT up when I say " hey, wanna go to the scoop?" The food is always top notch. The ice cream is incredible! They ship it in from Richardson's which is an amazing farm in mass and it is SO good! Always have the best flavors! The owner CARES and the staff is always so friendly and kind! You could not ask for a better family friendly, community focused establishment! Couldn't imagine life without the scoop!!!! And can I just say- they killed it with navigating the issues COVID has thrown their way! read more

I'm new to Bedford, NH and just found the Inside Scoop a few weeks ago. Great ice cream, great location, great family hang out. My kids love to play on the hill while my wife and I enjoy an ice cream. I was impressed with the Buffalo Chicken wrap and my daughter loves the Sesame Chicken wrap. We went for breakfast today for the first time. Coffee was way better than Dunkin Donuts and the bagels were fresh. My wife loved the egg, ham, and cheese on a croissant. We will definitely be back soon! Thanks for coming to our town! read more

The Inside scoop has the best ice cream. It doesn't stop there. I came in with my mother, for lunch after a long day of shopping. We go the most delicious iced coffee (brown sugar and cinnamon flavor!) we got the soup/sandwich combo and the sandwiches were made fresh and every ingredient was of fantastic quality. The soup was delicious and filling. Hillary is very nice, and never minds my active 2 year old checking out every chair around the shop. ;) This is my favorite place to eat! I'd recommend it to anyone! read more

Love Love Love this place! Whenever I go, I am immediately met with a friendly face and many of the people who work there remember my name. The coffee is delicious. I will always drive out of my way to get it. The thing that has really stood out recently about the Inside Scoop is the support they provide the community. When selling ice cream kits, they have matched kits sold and donated them to local workers in the community. I love supporting this friendly neighborhood business!! read more

As always, they didn't disappoint! The portions are incredibly generous, even for a kiddie size, and the staff works quickly and efficiently. The line was very long tonight, and both the main parking lot and side parking were completely full, but the line moved fast, so the wait wasn't bad at all. The only downsides are that they only accept cash and parking can be difficult during busy times, especially weekends. They could definitely use more parking spaces. That said, many people parked across the street and simply walked over. If you're looking for delicious ice cream, great value, and generous servings, Lix is absolutely worth the trip!

Moo's Place Homemade Ice Cream

As far as ice cream parlors go, Moo's is legendary amongst Derrians (not sure if that's a term…read moreused, but I'm going with it) for their high quality, damn near luxurious style of frozen pastries. If I could describe Moo's in only two words, they would be: quality control. Funnily enough, I rarely go here. In fact, I haven't had the Peanut Butter Cup ice cream in YEARS! I had nearly forgotten how smooth and creamy their ice cream is. The way they can make vanilla ice cream also taste peanut buttery is a feat familiar only to magicians and wizards. In other words, their stuff is just THAT good! Ultimately, I'm glad wifey talked me into coming back here on a whim. It's just that I'm hardly ever in the mood for dessert of any kind. But every once in a while....I get a sweet tooth for something with peanut butter in it. And now that my taste buds have been reminded of the elegance this ice cream effortlessly carries, I think I can manage to find an excuse to come here slightly more often. Only problem is they're mainly open during the warmer months. But....I totally get why. It's just a shame I failed to take a pic of the ice cream, since I was too lost in the abyss of ecstasy that was my sweet treat. Besides, I didn't want it to melt. Ah, well. Might remember next time. One last caveat: they don't really have their own parking lot. So, you just kinda....pull into one of the adjacent lots on either side of the place and hope you find a spot. Mildly dubious parking aside, I'm gonna give Moo's Place in Derry 5 Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cups smoother than a Milky Way out of 5.
