When you walk in, it smells yummy from the waffle cones! There are lots of flavors to choose from and all sound really good--matcha, sherbert, and black cherry were some that stood out. However, as someone who can't have dairy, I appreciated that there was also strawberry lemonade sorbet and a vegan vanilla. I got the strawberry lemonade sorbet and had no regrets! The flavor was great and my favorite part of the sorbet was all the strawberry chunks inside! The place had a handful of people in line when we arrived and when we left but service was quick even with only two staff members. There are a couple picnic tables and benches to sit at to enjoy your ice cream, and 10/10 I would recommend stopping for a scoop! read more

We came here Thursday night around 8 pm and it was very busy. There was only one girl working, with a huge group of about 10 people in front of us, our group of four, and two couples behind us. We were very patient and used the wait time to fully decide what we wanted, especially since there's a huge variety of flavors and options. I really felt for her having to handle the rush alone and understand how overwhelming that must have been. Once she finished with the large group, my boyfriend ordered a milkshake and she loudly exhaled in frustration and gave him a look, which caught all of us off guard. It was uncomfortable, especially after being patient and ready to order. Because of that reaction, the rest of us kept our orders very simple and just got ice cream. Flavor wise, the mud pie was the group favorite, and I got the coffee ice cream which I really enjoyed. It is a bit on the pricey side, but I did enjoy trying a new ice cream spot in Mammoth. She was kinder by the time we were paying, and again, I truly understand the stress of working solo during a rush. Overall, the ice cream itself was really good and I appreciate how hard she was working during such a busy night. While the service moment was a bit uncomfortable, this felt like an experience that landed somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. read more

Very nice selection of flavors and exceptionally nice service. I asked for a root beer freeze off menu and they blended one up for me without a fuss. Even had free lactase for the lactose challenged. Nice touch! Great patio seating under some shady trees. read more

My milkshake was amazing, the workers were nice , the store was clean and had a good smell.

First timer here, saw the other posts and I knew I wanted to try a flight. I got rainbow sherbet (so good) , coconut (so good), mango (had pieces), and coffee , Carmel, some local favorite (did I say so good?) I couldn't finish it. Don't let the size fool you, lol The two young ladies behind the counter were friendly and helpful. read more

Flight was bigger than I expected! Loved the Speculoos flavor. Toffee Coffee flavor was also good. Raspberry Sorbet was tart but refreshing. Employee was very busy but had a great attitude. Small dining area, but has outside seating. read more

We have been on an ie cream kick lately. Handels just came to Reno where I live and I wasn't expecting Local Scoop to be as good as Handels, but it was even better! The flavors were very good and balanced. I liked the ability to get a flight, even though the flights were super messy they were a great way to try all of the different types of ice cream that Local Scoop offers. There was a line when we went, so I can't say I am the first to find this place truly amazing. There isn't really inside seating, and the outside seating is just two picnic tables. With how good this place is, they should be there the next time you are in Mammoth. Give them a try, I know you will like it. Also, SO cool that they offer a free lactaid!!! GENIUS!!! The prices are a little steeper than some places and a little less than other places I have been, but the quality of the ice cream was very good in my opinion. My favorite was the Black Raspberry Chocolate. But the lemon one was really good too. All in all my wife and I tried 13 different flavors over the two times we went. Each one was spot on GREAT! read more

After a busy day of hiking and exploring, we were in the mood for a good scoop of ice cream. We were delighted to stumble upon this spot with dozens of flavors to choose from and ample outdoor seating. The service was fast and friendly, and I thought it was so thoughtful of them to include free lactaid for those who need it! We tried cookie dough, speculoos, mud pie, and black raspberry chocolate chip (right to left) and they were all delicious- very balanced, not too rich and not too icy. If you're ever in Mammoth, highly recommend getting the flight here! read more

Lindsey was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. She truly made our experience enjoyable. We came in on June 29, around 4:00 p.m. Unfortunately, there was another young blonde employee who wasn't as friendly. My son accidentally placed his spoon in one of the cone sample trays, and she visibly showed her frustration and made a comment about the mistake. It was clear she wanted us to know it was an issue, even though it was an innocent accident. Her reaction made my son feel really bad, and it was upsetting to see a child made to feel embarrassed over something so minor. If it hadn't been for Lindsey's kindness, we probably would have left because we felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. Employees like Lindsey make all the difference, and I hope the shop hires more people with her warmth and compassion. Other than that experience, this easily would have been a 5-star visit. The shop itself is adorable, the ice cream flavors were great, and we really enjoyed everything else. I just hope every family is made to feel as welcome as Lindsey made us feel. read more

Quite literally the ONLY good food spot in Mammoth!! AND I'd give it a 5/5 because we will be visiting again. So yummy and they let you try any flavor! Expensive but everything in Mammoth is expected to be expensive. My boyfriend and I BOTH got the banana chocolate chip. So good I would highly recommend. If I could describe it, it is the baskin robbins chocolate chip ice cream but banana flavor. The banana flavor is so subtle, almost like it's banana/vanilla! read more

Nice ice cream shop. Good selection of flavors and toppings. Not busy on a Tuesday afternoon in June.

Husband and I are craving ice cream and this is one of the few locations that was open, but I'm so glad that we went because their ice cream is delicious. I had mudslide and a Biscoff full type of ice cream and it was just so delicious. read more

ok so despite the crazy line we waited on for this, it was amazing!!! Shoutout to the girls manning the counter as they were hustling to get everyone their ice creams as quickly as possible. This place is super cute. Very decorated in an ice cream theme. They have larger than life jimmies along the wall and counter. Bright complementary colors that bring on all the happy nostalgia that a scoop shop should. Their logo is so amazing and perfect for an ice creamery in Mammoth. In terms of the ice cream they have many of the typical flavors you would look for and expect but some fun ones thrown in. I was so excited to see they had a lemon poppyseed as I had not found this elsewhere. It was absolutely true to taste. I ultimately opted for a shake since we would be walking back to our hotel two blocks over. They will let you mix flavors for the shakes. I combined the lemon poppyseed with their speculoos(cookie butter) and it was incredible. Still getting all the lemony poppyseed goodness with just a hint more of the butter baked good sweetness from the cookie butter. Can't wait to go again on my next trip! read more

Ice cream was amazing! Some of the best tasting in mammoth for sure. Staff was pretty nice and it was so cute inside.

Mud pie (coffee) flavor was good but the speculoos was amazing. The fresh baked cookies were very unexpected since the cookie shelf was empty however they were incredible. Great service, heavy snow outside made for a great ambiance. Very happy with the entire interaction. read more

I'm picky about my ice cream, and this place was great! I had the speculoos, and it had a nice base with a good quantity of caramel and cookies. The house made waffles looked excellent as well. The flavor variety was interesting, too! read more

Stopped by to try the ice cream. We were very disappointed at the customer service by the two young ladies serving the ice cream. Rushing us to choose the flavors without any patience we were trying to decide what flavor to choose. They didn't give us one of the cones and when we went back to let them know that they forgot it the cashier with the black hair was very nice and was trying to check the receipt. read more

Bomb Bomb Bomb!!! The service was GREAT and the ice cream was TO DIE FOR! The lemon poppyseed was so damn good, I daydream about it and wish this place closer to home. There are so many great flavor options - the lavender was delish, the matcha looked tastey. The cool thing is, THEY OFF FLIGHTS! You can get a small scoop sampler to try a handful. I love that! I highly recommend you stop by for a scoop if you're in town, you won't regret it. read more

Ice cream is delicious! Disappointed in the scoop size considering it was $6 and doesn't even come up to the rim! :-( read more

This place, IS the best in Mammoth by far! The pricing for ice cream here is reasonable and definitely worth it. We had the pleasure of getting Adam for our first visit and he was very kind and patient as my little family made up our minds about what we wanted. He let us taste test flavors before choosing and it was hard to pick after that! If your looking for a good place with friendly staff and reasonable pricing for ice cream, this is the place to go! read more
