This place is a real GEM in the Madison area. They have great choices in terms of flavor variety. Their customization is a little limited, but I take that as a great thing. Pay them a visit and support locally owned and operated. read more

Went to grand opening of thier new location. They have good ice cream, but it's expensive. The store is large, open, and clean. read more

I tried Three Scoops for the first time what feels like forever ago -- back before the pandemic, after dinner with girlfriends at nearby Big Bowl Thai. It was my suggestion we go; I wanted to try some place new for dessert. I wound up being embarrassed to have recommended it. The service was unfriendly, the inside of the shop was on the grimy side and sparsely decorated, and the ice cream was mediocre for a fairly high price. I wrote a less than glowing review and posted it, but later wound up doing something I rarely do: deleting said review. I saw someone post on the business' media that the shop was really struggling, and even though I'd had an unpleasant experience, I just felt sort of guilty -- although I didn't enjoy my visit to Three Scoops the first time, it's not like I don't want them to succeed. I resolved to try again later and revisit my opinion. Well, years down the line, "later" finally occurred. Came in earlier this week to see if they'd improved any, as clearly the business never struggled enough to shut down, even through the pandemic. I will grant them this: service was better this time. The man came out from the back as the bell rang when I walked in and he was nothing but polite and helpful. So that's good. Inside isn't still dirty, exactly, but it is sort of...I dunno, maybe run down is the right word. Not a lot of tables or decorations, the floor doesn't look gross exactly but just like it's seen better days, and seemingly all the tubs of ice cream were low on product, which just isn't very enticing. I wasn't as impressed with the variety of flavors this time, either. Nothing unusual or interesting or more unique than your standard moose tracks or otter paws. Kinda reminded me of what you'd see on the shelves at a smaller grocery store. They do one unique thing that I'm intrigued by -- ice cream stuffed cupcakes. I've heard some buzz about this and would've liked to try one, but I saw no sign of the product in the shop, other than a small poster encouraging patrons to place orders for them on the wall. But there were none on display and they weren't on the menu, so I can only assume it's a special order only kind of deal. Maybe I'm wrong. I wasn't hungry enough to make a special request. I ordered a single scoop of a Rocky Road equivalent (chocolate ice cream, marshmallow swirl, toasted almonds). The poor kind employee took about a minute and a half just to scrape out a scoop from the dwindling tub. Some ice cream shops have pretty generous pulls on their small/single scoops, but this place means it when they say single scoop. Which is honestly fine -- it's what I ordered -- but the price tag was around $4.50, and honestly I could get a pint of a superior tasting ice cream for that. I don't mind paying a premium if it's better than what I can get at the store...but this wasn't. Look, I don't believe in such a thing as bad ice cream, outside of literally spoiled ice cream, which this was not. But it was bottom of the barrel as far as quality and consistency, as far as I'm concerned. Like Walmart brand ice cream, basically. I got one small mouthful of marshmallow swirl through the whole thing. There were maybe three small pieces of stale, soggy almond slivers in my cup, two of which I got on my first bite. And the chocolate ice cream was overwhelmingly sweet -- no bitter or nuanced chocolate flavors at all. Perhaps the worst part was the consistency of it. I can only describe it as sticky. It was hard to pull it apart with my spoon, not because it was too hard/frozen, but because it was like...glued together. Really weird texture. It was similarly oddly and unpleasantly sticky when eating it, too. I still hope this business can find success, but after two less than stellar experiences, I stand by my initial impression. Perhaps others will have better luck here than I did. read more

YESSSSSSSSS. I am a lover of milkshakes OMG. I love the variety of flavors. I hate basic milkshake flavors. We got moose tracks and key lime pie. The flavor of both were amazing. I especially loved my Key like pie attention to detail with the pie crust! It definitely tastes like a pie!! Customer service was good. The lady was super quiet but seemed sweet. Thanks!! read more

First visit and tried a couple flavors. I must say that their Butterscotch Bomb ice cream is just that - da bomb!!

Really enjoyed the ice cream, and the people were top rate!!! So very nice. They have a kiosk at Toyota field, and I always stop by for a scoop or two! A real treat read more

Three Scoops has good ice cream. It reminded my husband of a place called Graeter's out of Ohio. I tried one scoop of the Red Velvet Ice Cream and my husband got two scoops of Cookies N Cream. The Red Velvet was pretty good. It tasted like Red Velvet Cake and I think it had some sort of cream cheese swirl. It also had had chucks of Red Velvet Cake in the ice cream. The CNC tasted like typical CNC. Overall, Three Scoops has decent ice cream. It's good on a day you want a cold treat. read more

Cute and cheery inside. All the employees were attentive and friendly. Lots of different flavors, and they even have protein shakes. Tried the watermelon sorbet (light and refreshing!) and the dulce de leche (creamy caramel goodness). Will be back again to try some of their other flavors. read more

Such good ice cream! I had the mint-trax double scoop in a waffle cone. I loved every bit of it. My husband had a peach double scoop in a regular bowl and loved it. The service was friendly and they had sampling available. Our new ice cream stop! read more

Bright and clean environment, friendly service,good texture and taste to the ice cream! I had the Moose Tracks flavor and it was delicious!

Ice cream was ok, nothing super special. Customer service was lacking big time. The two guys working the counter were far from friendly and it made it uncomfortable to even come in. I couldn't wait to leave. read more

Watermelon sorbet was great. Perfect for summer! Would recommend for families or dessert after a date.

I wanted to like this place but honestly it's the same caliber as a Baskin-Robbins. The ice cream is sooo sweet and did not taste homemade (it was icy rather than creamy). The flavors are very unique which was a plus. Overall the ice cream itself was a wash. Mostly I didn't want to stay there to eat, but leave as quickly as I could. It was cold which on a hot day at first was nice but after about 5 minutes it was uncomfortably cool and definitely did not make me want ice cream. It was also dim which made the place feels dirty, even if it wasn't. Debris on the floor didn't help that image. Staff was OK. Will not be my first choice when going to get ice cream. read more

A must try when in Huntsville. The service was fantastic, and the style of this place is up with the times. I feel like most ice cream places are dated, and this one has a very modern feel. Ice cream... man, they have perfected caramel. I tried the dolce leche and the other was chocolate with caramel, but I can't recall the name. Both were rich and smooth, very good flavor. This is now my new ice creams spot. Ps. Was going to take a pic of the ice cream to post, but I forgot after the first bite lol. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! The owner is friendly and willing to give you samples/ give you recommendations to sort through their large variety of options! read more

A very friendly place with great flavors. Plus their topping bar had some yummy choices like cookie dough! I got a scoop of eyes wide shut, an intense coffee flavor. Very clean as well. read more

I almost wonder if I'm reviewing the same place as a lot of other folks. Thankfully the pictures help me be sure. This is a place to get good ice cream if you like spending a lot and don't want to be bothered. I've been by here a dozen times and never seen anyone in there. Never, not even an employee. I finally walked in yesterday and was greeted by a pleasant employee who came out of the back. Plenty of flavors to choose from and two scoops set me back $4.75. I paid, sat down and within a few minutes the employee had drifted in to the back again and it was just me and the mid-90's R&B on the speakers. Here's why it's two stars. This ice cream is truly nothing special. I've had just as good from a carton from the grocery store. I realize that real, non soft serve ice cream parlors are kind of uncommon these days, and places like this are why. To add to my overall negative impression, the scoops were frankly small. It reminded me of something a kid would scoop out of a block of frozen ice cream. They tasted fine and this would have been a three star experience at half the price. At almost $5 for a fairly small amount of nothing special, I won't be back. read more

Came here two days in row around 6 PM (they are open until 9 PM) and they were out of almost every single flavor (and won't be making any more). We won't be returning, there are too many other ice cream places that actually have ice cream. read more

Great ice cream shop! I came in a couple of times and enjoyed every experience! The staff was great and the ice cream was delicious! When I came in previously I saw that they have a "crunch time" which is their happy hour from 2-5! Definitely will be back to get in on the crunch time!! read more

Best, smoothest tasting ice cream in the world. They do excellent birthday and holiday treats for a reasonable price! It is a staple in our household! read more

Three scoops is the best ice cream shop in town. They deliver excellent customer service and the ice cream is amazing. Also, its affordable.

As soon as I entered Three Scoops I was given a friendly "Welcome to Three Scoops!" I tried a few flavors and after debating on getting C is for Cookie or Mexican Hot Chocolate, I just decided to get a scoop of both! And since I came in during their Krunch Time, it was 20% off! The best ice cream I've had since I've lived in the Huntsville area. Everything was clean and the employees were very nice and knew what they were doing. If you're not getting your ice cream (or smoothies, milkshakes, and so much more) at Three Scoops, you're missing out! read more

Had ice cream at Three Scoops today. No pun intended but two scoops was more than enough. I'll be back next week.

Three Scoops will definitely be my go to sweet treat stop. I went in and told them I wasn't quite sure what I wanted but I knew I had a sweet tooth. He waited patiently as I made my choice for two scoops of the Strawberry cheesecake flavor and I am highly satisfied!! Thank you for the great quality ice cream and even greater customer service!! read more

Nothing special. They don't make their own ice cream, and it was way too soft. Got a cookie, and that didn't taste very fresh.

I have visited this ice cream shop twice. They have a wide variety of options available and the location is usually very clean and welcoming. The ice cream taste pretty good I've tried the Superman, birthday cake, butterscotch bomb, and c is for cookie. I enjoyed all of the flavors and it was very hard to make a decision. They could improve their customer service but overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this local business. read more

This ice cream shop is really the place to go to. They sell not only ice cream but cookies , and smoothies so there is a little bit for everybody with a sweet tooth.They have great customer service and are very friendly which is something I look for in an establishment. read more

I would give 5 stars, because the staff is so friendly and the ice cream scrumptious, but a restroom cleaner is so strong in the shop. I've noticed the smell every time I've been in, so it's a constant problem. read more
