Eric S.

Saw all the hype on TikTok. Decided to check it out. I thought the name was unique but it's also functional. It's Ben scoops.... ice cream that someone else has made. It's located in a lively food hall inside of the Enclave. The service was nice. They were out of many of their flavors. I thought for the price, they were more like scoops instead of SCOOPS. The ice cream was just okay. The banana ice cream wasn't banana-y. The vanilla with almonds was just okay. Bottom line: I wouldn't seek this out. If I was at the enclave, I'd get a scoop if I was in the mood.

I tried the hojicha ice cream. The small is $7-8 and they do give 2 scoops which was filling. You can get up to 2 flavors in the small size. But at 3pm on a Saturday, they were unfortunately out of a lot of flavors :/ The hojicha flavor was just right! The ice cream was fairly creamy but not the most creamy I've had. I would expect to like their ice cream more for a place that's rated so highly but just my opinion. The workers are kind too!

Ice cream place inside The Enclave food court. They were out of a few flavors and they don't offer samples. I had the rocky road which was good and hubby had the durian which he LOVED. Not a place I would seek out but it's good it's in the food court.

Stopped by for lunch at the Enclave, and decided to walk around and stumbled across this little gem. Ben Scoops has a great assortment of Filipino inspired flavors and regular ice cream flavors. By the time I got there later in the afternoon a lot of their flavors were sold out. I ordered a small, which comes with 2 scoops; I ordered the coconut pineapple and halo halo. The coconut pineapple stole the show for me; rich, creamy coconut flavor with a hint of pineapple. Refreshing and delicious. The halo halo was also creamy with bits of agar, beans, and other fillings, it was solid. I love this place, highly recommend.

Yasmeen A.

Really nice staff. Good ice cream! Went here today. Most of the flavors were sold because of the event at the Enclave today. Will definitely come back to try more flavors.

My friend and I came Sunday afternoon and didn't realize it was in a plaza with plenty of other food options. Plenty of parking in the front and back so no worries on that. You order at the register and then they will call your name through a window. I got the grasshopper pie and strawberry. It was really good. Honestly I liked the strawberry more than the grasshopper pie. It just tasted like real strawberries. Combo seems weird but it was good. I would come again to try their other flavors. There are a lot of seating inside and outside. They also have restrooms.

Nina W.

Flavors are unique but it's not the best ice cream I've ever had. The avocado one is a bit sweet for me but I think it's def worth a try.

Easy eats ice cream with a bunch of Filipino flavors. Went after dinner for a bit of dessert. Parking was a bit confusing - there's a lot of electric vehicle parking (which should have but did not think to use), but found regular parking further out. The ice cream spot is in the food court area near the restrooms. Menu consists of many different Filipino and some regular flavors. Ended up getting a split scoop of ube and macapono. Was well made - def more natural tasting than others I had. Would def come back!

Jenny K.

Cute little ice cream shop located inside enclave. Their flavors are unique and I couldn't wait to try them! We ordered their ube and mint, and lychee and cantaloupe. They were all so good! The fruity ice creams tasted just like the fruits and had little pieces in them. Service was awesome! The owner was really nice! Their ice cream is a bit on the pricier side but I still Can't wait to go back and try other flavors on their menu!

Leslie S.

Ugh, so pricey but so good. I had this place on my list for a while because I love ice cream, and the Filipino flavors looked divine. I tried their non-dairy ice cream, coffee and toasted coconut, and it was surprisingly sooo creamy. As a lactose-intolerant person, I'm over water-based ice cream or fruity sorbets. I have major fomo seeing other people getting tastier flavors lol. These flavors were so rich and delicious. I would have loved to try their matcha and almond coconut but they were sold out /: $9 for a small scoop iiiiis wild though. Glad I tried it but I don't see myself as a regular here because of the prices and limited non-dairy flavors.

Catherine N.

Super cute little spot with surrounding restaurants. I wish there were samples, I feel like that's the fun of ice cream spots. The ice cream was very creamy and not too sweet. The espresso ice cream is very strong in coffee flavor, the toffee in it was so good. I like that you can do up to two flavors in a small size without an upcharge. It wasn't busy when we came on a Sunday night, we received our ice cream in seconds. ig: @cravingswithcat

Lorna K.

Finally, a Filipino ice cream shop that is close to my house. Ben scoops is the best place to go for your Filipino ice cream fix they got the various flavors like macapuno, mango, pineapple, jackfruit, and believe they even have durian. They even have halo halo flavor too. Service is quick, place is clean and inviting.

Nikki S.

Their new location in the Enclave which is a perfect addition for an after dinner sweet top off. Ben scoops provide ice cream from Mitchell's Ice Cream. I love the variety of flavors especially the Filipino flavors, such as macapuno, langka, durian. They also have hojicha! There are different sizes and also shakes.

Look on the hostess' face. I was told once again that they didn't have a table available for us but we could sit outside in the cold, with no heater. Since I'd hyped the food up so much, my wife was eager to try it, so she asked that we sit outside and dine there; so I obliged. Service was once again mediocre. The food was tasting great when suddenly my wife spat something out; upon further examination it was literal broken glass! Seriously, broken glass! I immediately took the plate to the manager and he was apologetic and offered to "comp everything" or remake the dish. My wife was still hungry so she opted to have it remade. For me, the experience was ruined. I couldn't finish my meal, while my wife ate most of her remade meal. Once we got the check, my wife's meal was removed. I chose to not pursue the offer to "comp everything," further so I paid and we left. We've not been back and we've told everyone about our experience

Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it.

The light creamy tomato-based dressing with sliced mushrooms was pleasantly flavorful. Both shrimp and scallops were of good size, fresh and juicy. Fromage: Like Marine Crepe, the buckwheat out layer was soft. The mild brie cheese provided pleasant creaminess to the filling.

I recently visited Ben Scoops, and I must say, their rocky road ice cream was simply divine! As soon as I walked in, the friendly staff greeted me and recommended their famous rocky road flavor. I'm so glad I took their suggestion, because it was honestly one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted. The rocky road ice cream at Ben Scoops is rich, creamy, and packed with chunks of chocolate and marshmallows. It's the perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors, and each bite is like a flavor explosion in your mouth. I particularly loved the crunchy texture of the nuts mixed in with the smooth ice cream. Not only was the ice cream itself amazing, but the service was top-notch too. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, and they really made my experience at Ben Scoops a memorable one. The atmosphere was also lovely, with cute decor and a cozy seating area to enjoy your ice cream. Overall, I highly recommend Ben Scoops for their delicious rocky road ice cream. It's a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth! read more

I cannot rave enough about my experience at this delightful ice cream haven! From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff here truly knows how to make you feel welcome. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the ice cream! I had the pleasure of indulging in the toasted almond and Oreo flavors, and oh my goodness, they were absolutely divine! Each spoonful was a symphony of flavors, with the perfect balance of creamy sweetness and crunchy goodness. But it wasn't just the ice cream that impressed me; it was the impeccable customer service that truly set this place apart. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. They were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Whether you're a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to this gem of an ice cream shop. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! #supportsmallbusinesses read more

This ice cream shop is a true delight for any pistachio lover! Their pistachio ice cream is simply the best I've ever tasted--rich, creamy, and packed with real pistachio pieces. The flavor is perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and incredibly authentic. The shop itself has a charming and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a treat, I love the purple and gold seats. Ben, the owner ,Mr. scoops himself, is always friendly and attentive, ensuring a wonderful experience every time. They offer a great variety of Filipino flavors, but the pistachio keeps me coming back. The quality and freshness of their ingredients are top-notch. It's clear they put a lot of love into their craft. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving exceptional ice cream. Five stars without a doubt! read more

My experience at Ben Scoops Ice Cream was absolutely delightful. During my last visit, I savored their tropical flavor, an exquisite blend of guava, banana, mango, and pineapple. Each spoonful felt like a refreshing escape to a tropical paradise, a perfect choice for the current summer season. Additionally, I indulged in their macapuno flavor, which offered a rich and creamy coconut experience. It's worth noting that Ben Scoops is a small business, and supporting them is a wonderful way to contribute to our local community. Their flavors showcase a true passion for quality and creativity. So, if you're searching for a refined summer treat while also showing your support for local enterprises, I highly recommend a visit to Ben Scoops Ice Cream. read more

This is going to be a biased review because I met the owners and they were really nice people.
