Great service here. The ice cream was good and so big I couldn't even finish my sundae! My kids absolutely love their Halloween displays outside the store. They also have a cute little spot to sit and enjoy your treats. read more

The Scoop is a great way to fill your ice cream itch, especially if you can't find a good local hard ice cream. The menu is pretty extensive, with shakes, sundaes and specialty fried treats complemented by tons of flavor options. I got a standard banana split, and snuck a bite of a few other dishes, including a deep fried oreo sundae and some hard ice cream in a waffle cone. All were very good, though I'd say the soft ice cream of the banana split was a step below the others. When I come back, it'll be hard ice cream or bust - though the ENORMOUS cookie sandwiches (with Nancy B's cookies) may tempt me to try soft one more time. read more

We love The Scoop....took two grandkids there the other day...they loved it too...my favorite is the turtle tortoise sundae....delicious....my husband loves the banana split...grandaughter loves the s'mores sundae and my grandson loves the large chocolate cone....best news they are staying open longer this year...going to celebrate our 14th anniversary there on October 1st...you guys gotta go before they close for winter.... read more

The homemade Ice Cream here is second to none. Service is fast and friendly. i highly recommend it.

I'm hard to impress. I grew up eating Page's so admittedly am an ice cream snob. While I still love Page's Dairy, it seems like the rest of the city does. The line is always extremely long and it isn't as close to us now that we've moved. We attempted Page's yesterday, a random Monday evening and the line was no less an hour wait which I just didn't have time for so we left without ice cream. I was talking to someone about it and they asked if I'd ever been the The Scoop. I'd never even heard of it! The stars aligned and we were able to sneak out this afternoon. I'm hard to impress and gosh was I impressed. The place was a fancy upscale version of Page's and just as delicious. The sundae creations were something I'd expect to find in Vegas. Fun, whimsical and delicious. There were so many options that it was hard to choose just 1. While there is some overlap in menu items - a Nancy B cookie sundae, a Blondie sundae, they really set themselves apart with their unique creations. Churros are my favorite food and I haven't been able to find a legit one in years. The deep fried Oreo sundae is brilliant as is the funnel cake. Such unique and fun combinations. The serving size was generous as were the toppings. The employees were kind and patient. The place was inviting and clean... easy to get to with plenty of parking. They also have a drive through which is SO convenient! What a great little secret spot. We found our new go-to. read more

Great ice cream shop! They have every flavor you want, and it's so helpful that they brought the check marks back! If a flavor is checked, then they have it! No more guessing! read more

So tasty!!!!! Worth every penny. We've never really had to wait in line. Very comparable to Page's. Cash only.

I almost fell over when I ordered a homemade ice cream sandwich made with Nancy B's cookies and it was $6.15 but it was GINORMOUS!!! I had to take it home and cut it up to share. The picture doesn't do it justice but it is hugeeee. To give you an idea we cut it into fours and all had a decent size piece. Warning they do have an expansive selection with lots of hard ice cream flavors, many specialty sundaes and the normal standbys. It's hard to decide! I personally can't wait to go back and try some of the specialties! read more

I was shocked by the price at first, $9 for cake Sunday and $8 for chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich, but after tasting the freshness of the cake on the Sundays and feeling the weight of the ice cream cookies, it was WELL worth the price!! I will. Is it the place every time I return to Pgh !! read more

Come get a cold sweet treat for dessert, or choose a baked sundae for a whole day's worth of calories. Their signature flavors tend to include some combination of chocolate-covered pretzels, a caramel stripe, and/or cookie dough or bits. They do sell 1 or 2 scoops in a cup or a cone, as well as classic frozen yogurt flavors, milkshakes, and ice cream sandwiches. Prices are reasonable but cash only; there is an ATM on the side of the building. A good amount of parking and tables with umbrellas up the hill. I'm looking forward to coming back but hope my menu options aren't too limited by the fact that I just want a little ice cream and not a tub. read more

The Scoop - Pumpkin ice cream on a chocolate nutted waffle corn - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great place for ice cream! They are known for their wide variety of sundaes, which range from an elaborate spaghetti and meatball looking dish to classic favorites. I ordered 2 scoops of their homemade ice cream: Mint Avalanche and Munchies. Both flavors were packed with taste and the ice cream was creamy and smooth! The mint was my favorite with crushed oreo pieces and chocolate chips within the smooth mint ice cream. The Munchies flavor was also very good and had vanilla ice cream filled with all your favorite junk food candies: m&ms, chocolate chips, peanuts and caramel. The price came to about $5 for my dish, but it was certainly worth it and they gave you large scoops. Definitely a cute and delicious ice cream option to check out. They even have a drive-thru if you don't have time to eat there. read more

The Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Hopped off a plane at PIT. Had a hunger pain. My first stop was for something sweet at my favorite neighborhood ice cream shop, the Scoop. Although I didn't grow up enjoying their sweet treats, I definitely have a copious amount of nostalgia when it comes to Scoops. Part of what taps into the nostalgia at Scoops is their decor. I love how the ice cream shop feels super classic. You feel like you're in a 60's movie singing tunes. The location is very easy to get to on a fairly busy road. There's ample parking and even a drive they so you can get you soft serve fix. There's another dairymart in town that gets as much attention as it gets long never ending lines. Nothing against that shop as I also love their ice cream, but Scoops just flat out has better soft serve. It's a thick creamy pour. Sweet without being overly so. Love it's fluffiness. Throw some sprinkles on top for an extra treat! Special shout out to the incredibly friendly worker who described herself as "the older gal on the crew." It made me giggle. The perfect illustration of their amazing customer service. read more

Wish I could tell you their ice cream is fabulous but I've made three attempts to try it and the shop was closed despite it being within business hours. Tonight was the worst: I pulled into the lot, headlights shining into the store and the kid flipped the open sign OFF even though the posted hours indicated they were open for another 45 minutes. I just moved to the area and am an avid ice cream fan so this is a huge disappointment. I guess I'll just continue making the drive up to Bruster's because I know the store will be open as posted. read more

Was a little weary since I couldn't see the prices easily but at the end of the day they give great servings for the price and their product is good. The service was excellent. The person at the window patiently helped my kids with all their tastings. I loved that they had a little table area off to the side. It was all in all a fantastic trip there. Highly recommend and will be going again read more

Tried them out twice. Both times ordered milkshakes. More ice than ice cream. Not impressed. Not returning.

Very cute ice cream we accidentally stumbled upon! I was in the mood for a soft serve cone with sprinkles and this was where Yelp took me. The shop had a really nice, large patio for you to enjoy your ice cream and a ton of different creations to choose from! Cash only but there is an ATM on site. read more

The Scoop - Menu - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

If I could give zero stars I would. The people here are so rude. My fiancé and I just moved to the area and decided one night after dinner we were going to get something from here. We go and the lady was so rude. We ordered and then handed her our card and she said "Umm it's cash only" with the biggest attitude like she didn't want to be there. Fast forward a few weeks later we decided to try again. Looked on maps and it said they were open. We go there and try to order and the lady said, once again with a nasty attitude, "can't you tell we're closed". I will never try to go to this place again. Full of rude people who should be fired. read more

I'm an ice cream lover. Equal opportunity. I don't care what you put in it, on it, or serve it in, I'm gonna love it. Ive never been blown away by options and toppings till my gang and I stumbled on the scoop on a hot July afternoon. Deep. Fried. Peanut. Butter. And. Jelly. Sandwich. (Yes, you read that right) The Elvis Presley is quite impressive. Peanut butter and jelly, fried, jelly and PB drizzle, and the best soft serve I've had in the Burgh. This thing was massive. Also, if you don't know Nancy B's, get on that. A Homestead tradition, these cookies out beyond anything that ever came out of my Grandmas kitchen. They serve them warmed in a multitude of different shake/blizzard things, sundaes and more. I feel like a fatass saying I foresee many more trips to The Scoop this summer, but I'm sure the extra hour in the gym will be worth it!! Happy Eating! read more

The Scoop - Pineapple Dole Float! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

In my opinion the best ice cream around. Huge servings and great prices. Very friendly staff. Great place. Highly recommend.

Extremely inconsistent operational hours. It is at the mercy of the owner at any whim. It is not kept up to date online to understand these times. Every year it opens later and closes earlier. Not going to waste my time driving here again just for consistent disappointments and huge price hikes. Prices also are inconsistent based on the person at register. At times i have paid 15$ for what on a later day would be 20$. Be prepared they only accept cash read more

Vanilla soft serve ice cream served in a waffle cone was delicious! Definitely would go back! FYI - they close for the season around mid-September. read more

Stopped for some ice cream after dinner. Really cute spot with cool selection of both soft and hard ice cream and some sorbets. Really interesting variety of custom sundaes.

SUCH A UNIQUE GEM! I seriously can say that this is my FAVORITE ice cream spot in Pittsburgh. There is ample parking, a drive through, TONS of unique flavors and sundaes with the cutest names, and a spot with music and benches to enjoy your delicious ice cream. I always get the "Sticks and Stones" hard yogurt which is a chocolate base ice cream with pretzel sticks, chocolate brownie chunks, cookie dough, and caramel I believe. 1 scoop is so big too! My boyfriend got the Deep fried Reece's sundae and the Elvis Presley sundae. Both are CRAZY good! I couldn't stop smiling at the menu because there are so so so many flavors so you can definitely find the one you're looking for! I'm picky with my flavors but sticks and stones is literally my dream flavor. I love coming here too because the staff is extremely friendly! I can't wait to continue getting my ice cream craving fixed here! Can't stop won't stop!!!!! read more

This is a place that I feel 3.5 would be a good rating because 4 is a little too generous but 3 seems average. I honestly felt that maybe my expectations were too high. They have a great menu & everything sounds delish. Some things that caught our eye would be a sundae with peanut butter cookies & pb sauce.. fried oreos sundae.. banana split.. strawberry shortcake sundae ect. I finally decided on the giant cookie sandwich & my bf decided on the Bananas Foster Sundae My cookie was good.. huge actually. Two servings later its still sitting in the freezer only halfway gone. While the cookie was good, the sandwich itself is premade (for obvious reason.. It held together better + it would be time consuming to make it to order). The cookie was pretty hard. Idk I guess I wish I could enjoy the sandwich but also enjoy a soft, chewy cookie lol. My bf liked his bananas foster sundae, but found the texture of the cooked bananas odd. I tried it & would agree that regular, fresh bananas would have been better. Oh they are open til 10pm, not midnight according to a Yelp tip. That have an adorable patio area + a drive thru. Cute shop. I intend on heading back. I'm sure my next visit will be 4 stars. Again I personally feel that I had high expectations for a giant cookie sandwich & bananas foster sundae. *****cash only. ATM on site. read more

Good stuff here at the scoop. super nice employee's. Nice litle upper patio. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is I felt the chocolate ice cream was a little light in taste and flavor. read more

Cute little neighborhood spot for the locals to get our ice cream fix at hole it's still warm out. The service was fast and friendly and they did an excellent job decorating for fall. I can't wait to see what they come up with for next spring and summer. Though I do hope they decide to stay open at least into fall and offer hot chocolate. That would be a nice respite from the cold. read more

My oreo milkshake was the same consistency as tap water. Thanks a-lot.

The best hot fudge in Pittsburgh. Not waxy, just warm and creamy. They give generous portions too. This business would do well to stay open all year round. If not during the week, but on weekends for sure. I would go any time of the year for their delicious ice cream and top-notch service. I am certain others will agree with staying open in the winter months too! read more

So, so so yummy and so many choices! While they have your standard vanilla and chocolate soft serve they also have a few other choices of the lower fat persuasion. I recently had a cone with sea salt caramel coconut milk. You can go crazy here and get fried oreos on a sundae or a hot apple dumpling sundae but my favorite when I'm throwing all caution to the wind is the Nancy B's ice cream sandwich. First of all, it is the size of your face. Secondly, it is combining the best possible cookie with delicious ice cream. You can't go wrong. And if you can finish the entire sandwich by yourself in one sitting you deserve a t-shirt saying as much! Cash only! read more

The ice cream here is amaaaazing. I can't wait to go back. Got hard scoops of the chunky peanut butter, salted caramel, and the triple chocolate...wow. Loved it. The staff was nice, even after I pointed out that google, facebook, and the sign on the front of the store said they open at 11 am everyday, but their employee who showed up at 1130 said they didnt open til 12 Only irritated me because I used my lunch break to go there & ended up getting nothing read more

He have been there a few times but will not be returning tonight or ever. The 412-414 "business" phone number listed apparently is also someone's personal cell phone I assume the owner? I called to see how late they are open and the phone was answered in such a rude tone with a very angry "Hello!" And when I asked if it was scoops "yeah who is this" basically yelling at me in her nasty tone. Who the heck do you think it is if you are a business. People have no common courtesy and a business owner should be practicing the above as well as some phone etiquette manners. No wonder so many small businesses are not successful. The scoop is a perfect example. Thanks for making our decision to go somewhere closer to home, cheaper, and much more friendly a lot easier! read more

Undoubtedly the BEST, MOST FANTASTIC ice cream sandwich you will ever have or imagine. They use Nancy B's cookies... the best chocolate chip cookie ever (they have other cookie flavors as well). I got mine "fresh" with chocolate ice cream (soft serve). They are gigantic and I can only eat half at a sitting. They have your usual soft serve suspects plus a few other Pittsburgh special creations. It is a diamond in Lincoln Place! read more

This place recently opened, but I have already gone a couple times. Their ice cream cookie sandwiches are huge, made with Nancy B's cookies, and are pretty darn good! I believe it is soft serve ice cream, but it taste better than normal soft serve I think. Not as good as The Creamery at PSU, but pretty good for a local place. Had a peanut butter milk shake last night, which was very delicious as well! This place is a cash only establishment, but they do have an ATM on site (probably would dock a half a star if I could for this). Also, they have some nice picnic tables next to the store and it is nicely landscaped. Definitely a great addition to the area! read more

Excellent! I drive past scoops almost every day and every time I do, there are tons of people! Decided I needed to try it out. Went through the drive through and the young lady was super nice and offered to get my Icecream 'to go'. My husband ordered the 'sweet revenge' and I ordered a medium 'mudslide'. My medium was the perfect size but my husband was worried that his 'sweet revenge'was too large-- don't worry, he ate it all! There was a perfect ratio of Icecream to toppings and the ice cream was delicious!! The price was also super fair totaling $9 for everything. Will def go back again soon! read more

great place but poorly staffed. waited 15 minutes to order then waited 15 minutes more to get my pumpkin ice cream in a cup.....(which shouldnt take long) she said it's going to take another minute because the ice cream was frozen.
