    Raspberry lime sorbet
    Krista U.

    One of my favorite spots for a sweet treat hidden within the neighborhood. I appreciate that there is a rotating menu, I usually get a sorbet flavor or some sort. Staff is usually friendly and you are allowed samples. If you check in on yelp, you can get a 10% discount!

    I only go to ice cream shops that sell their homemade ice cream, rather than buying it from a local dealer. Scoop takes it to another level, with ice cream made onsite every day. After reading that, I knew we had to check it out. It did not disappoint. The fact that it was fresh took it to another level. I feel like even if they weren't good at making ice cream, the freshness would shine through, and it would still be good. Thankfully, they know what there doing and it shows in their quality. Our first time there I ordered the cheese platter ice cream, thinking that it would be a cheese ice cream base. After I had the ice cream in hand, my wife asked the Scoop employee what was in the cheese platter. She said it was an apricot ice cream base with other stuff mixed in. "Oh no! I just ordered apricot ice cream." It was fine. Fortunately, I also ordered a second excellent flavor to accompany my apricot. Our next time back I asked for samples of each ice cream in my bowl, to confirm that they were flavors I liked. "Chocolate ice cream? I'll sample it first to confirm. Thanks." This is the best ice cream shop in Spokane.

    Strawberry guava sorbet and peach guava Italian soda
    Tasha L.

    I really enjoyed the strawberry guava sorbet and the peach guava Italian soda. My husband ordered the salted caramel iced cream. The low rating is because the scoop wasn't rinsed after getting my strawberry guava and was then used to scoop the caramel. And those flavors don't exactly mix well. My husband also found a long black hair in his iced cream.

    Great location and lovely outdoor seating area. Nice post-dinner spot to hang out with your friends/family. The ice cream selection is pretty good and they have fruit flavored vegan soft serve in pineapple and strawberry flavors.

    Dole whip swirl!
    Tia M.

    Yum!! Seriously! My friend reposted a post from the scoop talking about Dole Whip going away... I couldn't resist. Being new to Spokane (again) I had to go get some!!! I got the swirl and it was soooo good! Their confetti waffle cones are to die for. Not too sweet and actually have a bit of a chew which is so good instead of the typical crunchy crisp shell! We also got chocolate fruit punch all of which were very good! Cute little south hill location it wasn't overly packed. Service was good! Street parking. I wish they weren't going to take the dole whip away I could eat that everyday! Lol

    Thanks yelp for putting this spot on my map! Passion sorbet, pineapple soft serve, banoffee with almonds
    Mike P.

    My girlfriend said I had to write a review for this place after we ate it. She was so impressed, and I was too. I haven't been here for a few years and am ashamed I drove to downtown to get ice cream all this time. The new item that wasn't here before was the dole whip soft serve, which is an easy pleaser and refreshing on a hot day. Their homemade confetti waffle cones were a huge hit too and it seemed like everyone had one in their hands. A must try flavor if you love banana is banoffee (banana, cream, and toffee) with almonds. It was amazing and I'm a sucker for banana flavors. Some other favorites were the passionberry sorbet, coffee, and peach crumble. So don't make the mistake I made, if you're in the south hill, come support your local neighbor ice cream spot! Only $3 for a kid scoop! Thanks Yelp for reminding me of this awesome place!

    Raspberry lavender
    Huong L.

    I was in search of ice cream and this place came up on Yelp so decided to check it out. It's not located on the main Street so you have to be looking for it. I love that this support the community as they do charity events as well as donations. Their ice cream is spectacular. I got the coffee toffee almond and Omg, was delicious. You can taste every flavors that was described and it was fresh. I was able to sample a few other flavors such as the prickly pear lemonade, the mochi one and the coconut and they were all delicious. My friend loved the raspberry lavender. I also love that they have a variety of scoop size that other places don't tend to have like the baby scoop, the 1.5 scoop, etc. Other than that, prices were super reasonable, and even more affordable after the 10% discount Yelp check in. The people were super nice and friendly as well. Definitely a must place to check out if you're in Spokane

    Hatch Beaker + Burr -- Spokane, WA…read more Midweek in Spokane and I was not expecting to walk into what felt like a warm hug disguised as a café. Wednesday morning. Doors open. Immediate vibe shift. Warm. Vibrant. Eclectic mix of humans scattered throughout -- laptops open, friends mid-laugh, someone clearly pretending to work. The energy felt alive without being chaotic. That's a sweet spot. The woman who served us? Absolute pro. Friendly with everyone. The kind of person who makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Easy to talk to. Zero rush. Hospitality done right. We grabbed a solid-sized table for the group while one of the crew made a pastry run. Strong team execution. Now for the order: Iced latte. Almond milk. Honey. My control beverage. My combine drill. It was exactly what I expected -- smooth, balanced, no drama. And somehow... it tasted better because of the room. Setting matters. Coffee absorbs vibes. That's science.* (*Not verified.) This is one of those places you can: * Meet friends for breakfast * Post up and "work" for 4 hours * Or grab a quick coffee before pretending you're not late Would I come back? Absolutely. For the coffee, yes. For the vibes? Immediately. If you're visiting Spokane, this is a must-stop. No overthinking required.

    This spot hit exactly what a real coffee shop should be…read more I had a cortado, and the espresso was dialed in beautifully--earthy, nutty, and balanced. You could tell right away the beans were quality and treated right. Nothing over-roasted or hidden behind milk. The flavor came through clean, and when paired with the milk, it was smooth, rich, and just right. But what really made it special was the atmosphere. This is one of those places where you don't just grab coffee--you stay. We sat, laughed, told stories, and just enjoyed the moment. That true coffee shop energy where time slows down and conversation takes over. I'm visiting from New York, but this is absolutely a go-to spot anytime I'm in the area.

Even though it's on the more expensive side, I think their attention in making even one drink that you order does make it feel worth it. Plus, my latte was so rich and creamy, which also makes it feel like a more high quality latte, unlike some more casual chains where a drink can be less reliable in taste. Also they play good music- it made for a very welcome change in atmosphere compared to other food/drink spots in spokane that are so white

(Unfortunately I literally live on the other side of the country, so before my trip to Spokane ended I made it a point to stop by Atticus multiple times.) The gift shop portion of the store stocks what feels like a little bit of everything. Books, stickers, soaps, lotions, trinkets, home decor, t-shirts, art, books, cards, chocolates...and that's just what I remember! And then the coffee shop portion has a surprisingly large menu. I'm used to coffee shops in stores being more like small coffee stands; but nope, this operation feels like a fully stocked coffee shop. Plus they also serve tea, matcha, and smoothies...and breakfast sandwiches, AND pastries. As you might imagine: this all makes the store smell quite good! There aren't a ton of seats but when I visited with family, we managed to find a couple tables so we could enjoy our drinks and snacks sitting down. Their coffee is very, very tasty - I tried both hot and iced lattes during my multiple visits. I didn't have tea on-site but I did buy some of their blends to brew at home, and they are also very, very tasty. Unfortunately they don't do online sales, and since I was traveling I didn't have the space to pack up everything I wanted to take home with me. Maybe future me will have the chance to come back...in the meantime, I hope you lucky locals appreciate this place as much as I did!
