    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.

    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.

    Flights!

    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!

    Ice Cream Flight!

    This place is a great addition to the community. The staff is friendly, the service is top notch, and the ice cream is outstanding. It's a must have when we visit Mammoth, even in the winter. Where else can you get an ice cream flight?! Keep up the good work!

    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!

    Favorite ice cream spot in Mammoth. Service was great, love the flavors and great ambiance. Busy but they take their time to connect with their customers. Everyone loved their choices. We will definitely be back!

    I forgot to take a picture earlier :( So yummy I finished it

    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!

    Line on Saturday 8/30/25 8pm

    I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Am I being dramatic to say this is the best restaurant in…read moreMammoth? Don't think so. We stumbled into Dish Bistro on a whim during a little snow storm. Wasn't expecting anything crazy ... but I SHOULD HAVE BEEN! It sort of felt like I was walking into a dream. This is the cutest little restaurant with only a few tables. It looks like a French Cafe / ski town tavern. We have the lamb burger (incredible) and the lamb curry (also incredible). Can't forget to shoutout the waiter who is the friendliest guy in the world and really seems to love his job! Can't wait to tell our friends about this spot and to come back. Adding to this, my boyfriend said it's so good that he's gearing up.

Come hungry and you'll be squared out. My husband ordered their Bison burger with french fries and loved it!! Their fries area really good! I ordered the burger with onion rings and fried cheese curds in it (yes, fried cheese curds!) and balanced it out with a salad instead of fries and honestly for me, can not rave more about the salad. Fresh, the vinaigrette was so good and the berries a perfect pop in a stifling day. The service was also very friendly and fast and overall the place has such a nice, good vibe to it so we will definitely be back the next time we're in town :)

The staff were great and quick brought out food and drinks. We tried the iced chai and iced matcha lattes, both delicious and plenty of milk options which is a plus. For the main we tried the avocado toast, sweet crepe with strawberries bananas and Nutella, and the breakfast burrito with added sour cream. Everything was great, glad to have found a great breakfast spot next time we're in Mammoth!

No other business does this on Reddit. First, service is very slow and pretty haughty. I had to wait 30 minutes for a simple pesto chicken crepe. It tasted disgusting. I got the apple dessert crepe. It was full of little cubes of raw apple that just fell out of the crepe. There was barely any cinnamon or sugar in it. I also got the pesto crepe. There was a splash of pesto and a couple little pieces of chicken. 90% of the crepe is the bread or galette or whatever. The rest (which isn't much) is just thrown in there. At $16 each, this was a complete ripoff, even worse than the usual Mammoth ripoff. The ambiance is pretty good though and they have a nice wine bar area. I could see this place being good for breakfast, but it's not worth spending any more of my money there.

I ordered a small and it was so good but also so strong. It tasted like a double shot. Also ordered a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. Very soft and chewy. Too sugary for my taste but perfect amount of peanut butter flavor and chocolate chips.

    Not my first time at looney (been to the one in bishop), but my first time at the mammoth location!…read moreTucked away in the corner of the plaza you'll find a warm and inviting coffee shop. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is readily available inside of the plaza as well. Lots of doggos visiting with their parents. First walking in it was very toasty lol but you adjust to it eventually. The line situation is a little interesting. When it's crowded, it wraps around and heads towards the back bar and bathroom. It's a bit difficult to navigate to the back of the line or bathroom if the seating is occupied - but manageable. Variety of pastries to choose from! I wish I snagged the coffee cake slice. Reminds me of the ones they'd serve in elementary school back at home (Los Angeles). Every pastry looked to be around $4-6. The staff were extremely friendly and positive. They made the drinks fairly quickly for having such a crowd in the morning. The breakfast burritos are pre-made and kept warm to serve in a display. :) great price point too. Bacon and soy chorizo are available for about $8-9. Mild and spicy salsa on the side. Items ordered: Bacon bfast burrito (4.5/5) - large portion! It was hefty. The spicy salsa was really nice and had a kick to it but didn't over power. The burrito is stuffed with potatoes, cheese, egg, bacon, and pico I think. Would def order again! I just wish there was a bit more bacon. Cortado (4.5/5) - pretty strong and the color was absolutely gorgeous. Not sure what blend they use but I wish there was a bit more flavor. Would def recommend and return! The customers seemed really happy.
