    Vegan chocolate peanut butter ice cream
    Esin A.

    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

    Came for brunch and didn't have a great time…read more The positives were short: the bread for the sandwiches was decently tasty and the bathroom was well maintained and outfitted The negatives: -they didn't have any potatoes ready for the day so all dishes that included potatoes needed to be ordered without them as the potatoes wouldn't be ready for another hour. This effectively cut the menu in half -Waters were never refilled or offered to be the entire two hours we were here -hot sandwiches were almost all served cold and the egg was overcooked on one of them -Chicken Caesar Wrap was tiny and so was the breakfast burrito. Like tiny tiny -Food and service took a very long time (two hours from sitting down to receiving check) and the place was nearly empty when we sat down and ordered -The wrong menu item was brought out for one of our friends who dined with us -an ordered side of hot sauce came nearly an hour after the initial food was brought out -the large and small drinks were volumetrically the same despite a difference in price -things kept getting burned in the kitchen and the ventilation didn't seem to be working so the whole dining area was smoky Overall it felt like the restaurant was way more focused on aesthetics and instagramability than quality of the actual food. Which is possibly why the majority of the images available on the internet are of the restaurant itself and not the food they serve The pricing wasn't great either. overall not an experience we intend to try again

    This place makes me feel like I'm in a winter ski lodge. It is beautifully decorated. The staff was…read morevery friendly. We didn't order food but the matcha latte, coffee and hot chocolate were just what the doctor ordered on this brisk afternoon. If you're looking for it while driving by, it is in through the same door for the bicycle shop.
