Stopped by Saturday of Memorial Day weekend 2026 just before they closed. There was a line outside the door with a couple of tables full of happy ice cream eaters outside at 2 of the maybe 4 outdoor tables. (There are no indoor tables.) This has a very casual, family friendly, outdoorsy ambiance. Once indoors, Chase and Blaise took great care of us. It was already a few minutes past their weekend closing time of 8 pm but Chase still offered us a sample with an unhurried smile and kept the door open for a few more minutes. When we saw the flavor options in the bins, we noted they were out of our favorite type but Chase happily reassured us there was more and without hesitation opened a new container of ice cream just for us while joking that he would eat the best part of the new container (the extra cookies crunched into the top of the container). We ordered our pint of delicious ice cream then Blaise checked us out at the register. It was a beautiful evening to sit at their tables but we left to eat it because we had others who were waiting at the cabin to consume it as well. If we were eating outside, I'd try to convince my group to order the 4 flavor flight! The 2026 posted summer hours were 12-8 Friday- Saturday and 12-7 Sunday- Thursday. The ice cream servers allowed us to use their images and names in my review. read more

This is a cute little ice cream shop in June Lake! There is no seating inside, but there is seating outside on their patio. A perfect place to sit down and enjoy your ice cream. It's $6 for a single scoop. $12 for a single scoop on top of a waffle. I wanted to get their freshly made waffle, it looked fantastic, but it I had just ate pizza. The girl working was very nice and this place had great customer service. I sampled a few flavors, and they were all delicious! They have a Lemon Poppyseed flavor that is so unique and it actually tastes good! I also sampled the Birthday cake: a classic you can't go wrong with. Blueberry: could have a stronger blueberry flavor. Black Cherry: traditional black cherry flavor. I ultimately decided on coconut and I was very happy! The coconut flavor was strong and there were pieces of shredded coconut in it. Definitely checkout this place if you're in the area! read more

You know what's great about Yelp? You find hidden gems like this place... if not for Yelp and the high reviews we would not have known it existed... in fact, we stopped here from a fishing trip on Tioga Pass heading back to Mammoth Lakes... This has been a highlight of my trip so far... the ice cream is top notch... but the fresh made waffle combined with the Raspberry Chocolate Chip ice cream was sooooooooo good... this waffle was sweet and chewy... but soft... and crispy... I know, it doesn't make sense... and it held up well with the melty ice cream... all I can say is... wherever you are take a little detour and try the waffle with ice cream on top... the flight was also very very good... but I'm dreaming about that waffle... can't figure out how they made the batter... it's OK... easier just to come here and have it... what a treat! read more

With limited options in the June Lake area for treats it's really nice the locals and tourists have this cute little ice cream shop downtown. We stumbled in for a mid afternoon scoop and thankfully beat the crowd of 10 people that huddled in right after we left. This place isn't open late so make sure to check them out for a lunch or midday treat. The little ice cream shop is very cute and inviting. We appreciated that they had seats outside so you could sit for a bit and enjoy your ice cream. The store had pretty neon lights to invite you in. Once inside it's small but cozy. The staff were very nice and welcoming. A man and a woman, I presume the owners, were working behind the ice cream and register. They were all smiles and attentive. We complimented how much we liked their merch, super cute logo and clothing / hats. We were also impressed with the ice cream flavors. They had more unique flavors which is a nice change from just the classics. My friend got a banana chocolate chip ice cream and I got spumoni which is truly hard to find outside of an old school Italian restaurant. Prices were reasonable. I only docked a star because my ice cream tasted a little frostbite. Could be because this flavor sits a little bit longer I'd assume? Also it was closest to the edge against the cold icebox. Either way I love a more creamy forward ice cream but this one was a little icy if you can picture what I'm trying to convey. Overall though we were both very happy with our choices and the ice cream given we both enjoyed having a sweet treat in town. Staff were very friendly and this is a great local business. read more

What a gem of an ice cream shop! I usually take superlatives with a dash of salt, but I can see why they call their ice cream and waffles world famous. The waffle had a dense and thick texture rather than being crispy or fluffy, which goes really well with ice cream. It was also caramelized to perfection. The Specluoo and Mud Pie ice cream were the perfect pairing for each other. We'll definitely make it a point to stop by here every time we're in the area, and especially after a long day of outdoor activities because that's when sweet treats are best served and deserved! My only complaint is that it's so far, but that's a me problem :( read more

Local Scoop is a cute little ice cream shop located in June Lake! I love their logo. So creative that the ice cream cones are little mountains! I got the banana chocolate chip ice cream. It was soo delicious. I'm a chocolate covered banana lover, and this met my expectations. I do wish they offered samples so that I could try the other flavors, and it could've allowed me to explore other ice cream flavors, but I decided to go with the safe option of the banana chocolate chip! Definitely would recommend checking it out. read more

We were excited to try this super cute little family-run ice cream shop in June. Their adorable window display and bright blue chairs caught our eye after grabbing dinner at Epic. The young employee who helped us was friendly and patient while we decided on which of their unique flavors to order. They had the usual flavors and unique ones like cake splatter , banana choco chip, black cherry choco chip, pumpkin, Speculoos, and spumoni. We got three scoops for $9 and enjoyed it on their outdoor sitting area. I hope this spot succeeds here and make June their home for years to come! We will definitely be back. read more

Amazing flavor! I can hardly wait to come back! read more

My daughter and I enjoy driving into June lake to have a sandwich and stop for an ice cream. I wish they had more options such as chocolate ice cream, but there is definitely something you will love.

I'm not an ice cream person. Yet, I've been here for four days and have had 3 strawberry ice croons cones and 1 black cherry. I have zero regrets. Thank you, Ziani for recommending this local spot! read more

Not vegan/ plant-based friendly. I asked the two people working here if any of the flavors were vegan and they said may be lemon sorbet but they were not sure. I asked about toppings and they didn't know but said probably none are vegan. It is also a bummer that they use plastic utensils instead of more environmentally friendly options. read more

Just came back again this summer. Service is very friendly and quick, but they are also patient. No wait, and probably the best ice cream I have EVER had!!! It's so much better than any place you can go, and also the place is super fun and cute. I'm so glad this cute little place has great ice cream and a great outdoor patio for families! read more

First time staying at June Lake Loop. Saw this cute little ice cream shop while driving by. There was one worker and she had a line of people. She was very good and fast at taking care of all customers. She made sure they were in and out at a reasonable time. We sat outside in these cute little lawn chairs and enjoyed our ice cream. read more

Amazing here! Everything about it is a 5 out of 5. the staff is very friendly and welcoming!

The best ice cream ever. Their black raspberry chocolate chip is the bomb. Served up by an awesome local family.

Came here based on yelp reviews and ordered single scoop on a waffle and a single scoop in a cup. They have some pretty choices for ice cream. They gave us a pretty good portion of ice cream which was good and filling. We probably could have shared one scoop. The waffle was really good, it probably had a little more sugar in it when it was made. Service is nice and friendly. Seating is outside with some shade when it's warm. Ice cream runs around $8 or more these days. Been to a few different ice cream places and thats the going price for a scoop of ice cream these days. I'd come back here again. read more

Two part review! First off, amazing ice cream and waffles. Every flavor we had was solid. Customer service by Adam and his team was warm and friendly. Who doesn't loving supporting a new local business in a small town that does amazing work? You know who doesn't? Everyone's favorite small-town, ice-cream bashing misanthrope, Ann E. Oh, my fellow patriotic yelpers, Ann is at it again! Making outrageous claims about how this local ice cream joint is somehow taking away her freedoms. What I found most amazing is my family and I walked into this store, had a great experience and left the establishment with ALL OUR FREEDOMS IN TACT! Adam loves his country. So do I. But is it fair to question whether that someone who trashes a new business online because she had to use her damn credit card is truly a lover of this great country? Yes. Yes, it is fair. So second part of the review: Ann E. is not a patriot. She complains about her freedoms being stripped by then freely trashing a new ice cream shop owner because in this country you can say anything you want publicly, regardless of the implications to a small business owner who is trying to make his new business succeed by using sound decision-making in a modern economy. This is not a political issue. This is not even an economic issue. It's the ongoing issue that people have the right to be publicly stupid and the rest of us reasonable/rational American citizens have to sit back and let them be aggressively idiotic and destructive to others for no reason. People check reviews of businesses routinely. Don't trash these businesses because they won't take your Greybacks, Kar-Ann. So, the review of Local Scoop, in summary: Ice cream: 5 stars Waffles: 5 stars Adam's patriotism: 5 stars The security of American freedoms when visiting Local Scoop: 5 stars Ann E., as an online reviewer: 0 stars. Support local businesses. Support Americans. Support Ice Cream. And cancel Ann E.'s reviews. Because that's what America needs* *The views expressed in this review are solely intended to support this great local business and for entertainment purposes only. No Ann E.'s were harmed in posting of this review, unfortunately. read more

Food, service, ambience could not have been better. Who knew getting ice cream in the 20° weather was the thing to do in June? What a nice family that runs this place, so hospitable to us. I could not say better things about our experience that we just had at the local scoop, just excellent. One of The Things to do now in June Lake. Adam is a very nice dude, and was super awesome with the kids. Thank You!! read more

Such a treat for these warm days. Pulled up 30mins before closing and were greeted with happy smiles and positive attitudes. Loved seeing the son and dad work duo, definitely gives off family run business. The ice cream was fresh, tried the waffle and scoop and it was exactly what I expected. The business does not accept cash but in this day and age who doesn't carry their debt card or apple wallet? lol Again the ambience was great, friendly, and welcoming. We definitely will be going back whenever we are in June Lake! read more
