It was easy to find parking it was hard to make a decision on what to get because the bakery case everything looked amazing. Turns out this is the one dessert shop not to be missed in Richmond.

A respectable amount of flavor choices and most you don't see everywhere-I.e Lavender Honeycomb, Triple-berry Cobbler, and Key Lime Pie to name a few. Weren't feeling adventurous so we went with a chocolate truffle/coffee and a cookie dough/chocolate truffle-both small. Intense chocolate and truffle flavors and cookie dough was enjoyed also-delicious end to a meal and it paired nicely with the hot day. Friendly and engaged people behind the counter. Turns out Scoops is #26 on Yelps Top Ice Cream Shops list. We agree!

Parking: street parking available. There is street parking right out front and also near the…read moreentrance. However it is not guaranteed. Seating: there are no seats inside. They have a 8 people maximum capacity. There is a slim bar along the windows for people to stand and eat, but other than that, there are no chairs. It is a small arroom so don't expect to stay long. Food: the ice cream was very creamy and delicious! I loved the special flavors they had! And they change the flavors every now and then! So it's fun to try them all. Bathroom: there is no restroom. Price: I thought it was pretty good for the amount you get! It isn't on the cheap side, but you do get a large serving! Service: our server was very patient and nice! He gave us a few samples because I couldn't decide which flavor I liked (like any typical girl haha)

Bright and airy space, almost like a spa!…read more Quiet when I came in weekday afternoon. Calming spot to grab a treat, get some work done/journal, or catch up with friends in an aesthetic and modern cafe. Ordered the paradise tea with mango and avocado. I loved the textures and layers of flavors. The drink was filling and lasted me a while, not watery but refreshing. The mango tasted fresh and avocado creamy. I haven't tried the pastries at this location, but have at their other Richmond cafe. Great cakes and buns made fresh in-house. Easy to find parking at the lot outside. Service is pretty quick.

When I walked in, there were two customers seated and two employees behind the counter. I walked…read moredirectly up to the cashier, who looked right past me without saying a word and then walked away toward the pickup area, where another employee was standing. That employee also completely ignored me, despite the fact that I was clearly standing there waiting to be helped. I was there to pick up a DoorDash order for someone else, but based on the way I was treated, I can guarantee you I will not be choosing to spend my own money at this establishment. I ultimately had to ask another customer who was standing in line if they knew where to pick up a DoorDash order. The entire experience was incredibly dismissive and unprofessional. A simple acknowledgment or, at the very least, "We'll be with you in a moment" would have made a huge difference.

I was told that Proper Pie was one of the best dessert spots in Richmond and since we were in the…read moreChurch Hill area, we made the stops. Street parking was plentiful. I thought there was line out the door at first but it turns out it's just a window so the line is always out the door I guess. We grabbed two slices, one banoffee and one coconut cream. The banoffee has a nice caramel flavor to it, not too sweet surprisingly. We liked the coconut cream slice a little more, again not too sweet but great coconut flavor. Would love to come back to try their savory pies as well but they have a great selection and the staff is nice here.

If you like cereal and ice cream, this is the place for you. All of your retro cereal dreams come…read moretrue here. This unassuming shop has a huge selection of ice cream styles to choose from. You can get simple ice cream, cereal infused ice cream, milkshakes, and more. I decided to go for their signature item, the cereal infused ice cream. I got a vanilla base with cheese cake bits and fruity pebbles. It was absolutely delicious. I live nearby so walked over, but there are street parking spots in front. Do know when you walk in, it might take a minute to place your order. It's a super local place and the person who runs the front is usually next door. It's more of a takeout ice cream place. There is Clay park nearby to enjoy your ice cream at. My ice cream with tip came out to about $12. It was a huge serving too. As you can see from my menu photos, there are a lot of option to pick from. So if you're more of a captain crunch person or apple jacks, you're good. I highly recommend checking this tasty ice cream out.

My ice cream was so good that we can back the next day!

I don't normally order GF but it was a smaller slice than the regular cake (which was way too much for me!) and I was assured they tasted the same. I can confirm it was an excellent slice of cake and if I hadn't seen the sign I wouldn't have even known it was GF! I only regret not bringing home more things to try, especially the bars which looked reallyyyy good.
