    Vanilla Cake Crunchy
    Payal P.

    I love the decor of this place...it has a clean 70s diner shop vibe. There is a ton of booth seats in the front of the store. The back has a couch, a big vending machine for bouncy balls, and a shuffleboard. This ice cream place is located right on 309. I got the Vanilla Cake Crunchy which was delicious. I really liked the cake texture with the crunch in the ice cream. The ice cream tasted hella fresh. The place also has smoothies, milkshakes, Italian ice, and sundaes. There is definitely a good selection. There is outdoor seating in the back as well which faces a baseball field.

    Vegan chocolate peanut butter ice cream was less sweet than regular ice cream and it was good. Scoop pumpkin ice cream was very good. Butter pecan ice cream with coconut ice cream and hot fudge was good. Brother enjoyed Banana Foster ice cream. Also tried butterscotch ice cream and butter brickle ice cream. Inside Scoop is an awesome 50's style ice cream shop.

    Some of the best ice cream around! They have lots of great flavors that change every day. Lots of indoor seating in two vintage style rooms, picnic tables outside, and a drive-thru! The antique looking gas pump is also a Tesla charging station, so there's a good excuse to get ice cream. And don't forget to take a picture with Giant Chip!

    This is must try if you are in the local area. Every time I am in the area it is a must stop for some of the beat Home-made ice cream around. FRIENDLY Staff and always changing flavors

    Best selection of flavors....great decor...friendly staff...just took my mom there to top of our amazing day at the zoo and Crackerbarrel....we even refused dessert there so we could go get yummy ice cream!!...the way to my mom's heart...peanut butter ice cream!!! And I love their chocolate pecan....we got cones this time...but their sundaes are amazing!!! ..you will not be disappointed....from 2 diehard ice cream lovers!!!

    "Chip" The Giant Ice Cream Man!! [no doubt a refurbished Rt66 muffler man statue] COOL!!

    Nothing says "Get in here and try our delicious homemade Ice Cream" like a Ginormous 30 foot Ice Cream Man armed with a Huge Scooper in one hand and a Massive Ice Cream Cone in the other. So I decided to stop in and get the inside scoop on the Inside Scoop.   Now I gotta say that this place is Totally Legit and it's a very unique shop that happily serves up Lots of flavor choices on some really delicious homemade ice cream plus You can tell the People who work here are Ginormously friendly which makes for a pretty cool experience. I ordered two scoops of Chocolate in a Waffle Cone with Sprinkles which I ate in My truck and it was some of the best homemade ice cream that I've enjoyed in a very long time.   Side note: word is they serve up espresso from a machine that was imported from Holland. So I'm definitely stopping back next time to check out that situation as well as try Alot more flavors off their menu. Come And Get Your Munch On!!  ;D

    Yes, yes, yes! I loved this ice cream shop! It's 100% worth it if you're around the area. The inside feels very retro, which I love, and they have multitudes of flavors. Honestly, something for everyone there. Tip: their kids is plenty. But their small is definitely plenty! Fun fact: they have an electric charging station in the parking lot and it looks like an old gas pump. It's Tesla. Very friendly service as well! And plenty of seating inside!

    This is THE BEST icecream place in Allentown according to Yours Truly. It's stuck In time and that is what is so very special about this place. And it's one of a kind! A total time-warp with insanely delicious icecream concoctions to boot! #icecream #timewarp #Allentown #pennsylvania

    Bagels? Drinks? Ice cream? Breakfast sandwiches? Say less…read more The coffee drink menu is probably some of the most creative combinations I have ever seen! I love the font of the menu on the boards as well as it is so neat and easy to read. The staff is incredibly sweet and detail oriented. The space decor is beach quirky which I enjoyed! Taking a star off because although the drinks tasted good and were fun, there was no coffee hit to them. An additional shot of espresso would have completed the drinks. The cream cheese on the bagel was almost non existent, it was the smallest of smears. We did enjoy the berry oats as it was warm and sweet. The avocado toast was standard, nothing special.

    This place has been on my list for some time and I'm so glad I went. It's next to / connected to…read morethe Trolley Barn but it does have its own entrance as well! I want to say one thing before I say anything else - their staff was hands down probably the friendliest and hardest working I have ever seen. They were just so incredibly genuinely nice. They worked with such professionalism too and despite the large number of patrons inside and the line that kept growing and growing , they continued to be nice and get food and drinks out super quick ! The barista, a young guy, took our order - he was so nice and even brought our coffee over to us. The woman prepping food suggested getting the cinnamon bun warmed up - she did it for us and brought it over with utensils and napkins. Just so sweet. And it made it much easier for my mom as she has a handicap. I will say it is so busy which made it hard for her to move her walker- but we did it without much trouble. The cinnamon bun was delicious. The coffee was to die for - seriously so good. I can't wait to go back and try even more things from the - including their icecream. It did look like most people were ordering coffee but I did see other like fruit drinks/teas and / or smoothies as well as people ordering ice cream flights (yes, ice cream flights). The inside was decorated so beautifully. There was a variety of seating which was awesome. They have an extensive menu- I do wish they put their coffee specials closer to the register as I only saw them after I ordered, behind the door. But that's just because I usually always go for a good seasonal item myself. In conclusion- honestly we need more businesses like this in bucks county it was happening and shows just how much Quakertown needed a good place like this for people of all ages. Will be back - again, and again.

PLEASE update the stores Yelp, and Google hours as they differentiate from the hours listed on their door and the website. ONTO THE COFFEE First up ~ Banana pancake cold brew, with no cinnamon sprinkle on top (per my request) ~ 5.5/10 - The Cold brew itself has a great strong flavor. However there is no flavor beyond that. I did read their menu online prior to ordering and that definitely adds to my disappointment. The described maple and banana notes that the coffee "should" have are missing completely. They make a lot of their specialty syrups and flavors homemade which had me really excited, so I was quickly bummed to taste absolutely none of it. Next up ~ Black Cold brew with Vanilla ~ 7/10 - Simple, basic and what you expect. Not much to add here. Lastly, The FOOD ~ We ordered the Turkey bacon, double egg and cheese sandwich on a croissant. ~ 7.5/10 - The sandwich was good! I wouldn't order this again unless I was in a rush. The turkey bacon a little bit sweet and that was great. The Croissant was toasted well, however we were let down by the egg, it seemed to be baked? As if they cooked up a large egg bake for these specifically. Which personally, I wasn't expecting or a fan of. The Spongey texture was really a miss. I do think a bit of salt and pepper would've improved this overall. -
