    Truly a gem and a Richmond institution. In the Brooklyn Park area of northside. The shop is cute and cozy. It has vintage vibes. The staff could not be nicer people. Fairly priced. High quality ice creams with some unique flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. The ice cream is delicious and creamy. And they also have more than just ice cream! Lots of other treats and cool concoctions. You get 3 free samples of their flavors to help you decide. They have been around for years and somewhat recently moved into a larger building that can accommodate more people. Looks like they were smart about how they set up the flow, like one door is the entrance and one door on the other side of the shop is the exit. If you live in Richmond and have yet to try Ruby Scoops, what are you waiting for?!

    We love the rotating vegan options at Ruby Scoops! And it's always clean and welcoming inside. No problems with service either, and you can try samples before you decide! The black sesame Oreo was the BEST flavor so if that's on the menu when you go, trust me. But we've never had a bad flavor. And head out back to the cute outdoor seating area.

    When I tell you that I dream of this ice cream Shop, I mean that with my whole heart. I love their ube ice cream so much. They have the best flavors and amazing customer service. We love our volleyball tournaments because we can drive by and get my fav icecream

    Friendly staff serving perfectly paired flavor combos including: Strawberry Red Bean--a favorite combo of smooth and rich berry flavor; an big time new favorite Miso + Butterscotch -- magical combo again of a umami flavor with a salty sweet. Hot Honey Cornbread--really loved the chew composition the cornbread added to the ice cream with just a hit of spicy at the end Grasshopper--the mint got lost in the other flavors unfortunately Passionfruit--overly strong on the flavor but was glad it wasn't too sweet Loved the option of getting a ice cream flight with 6 smaller scoops of ice cream; was perfect size to share with someone. Some of the ice creams were a tad icy but the flavors well made up for that! Will stop here on any trip through Richmond

    Stopped by Ruby Scoops in Richmond and I'm so glad I did. I got the lemon berry sorbet and a cake batter cone, and both were seriously delicious. The sorbet was super refreshing and fruity, and the cake batter cone hit all the right sweet spots. The staff was super friendly and patient while I took forever deciding--so many great flavors to choose from! You can tell they care about the experience, not just scooping ice cream. Also love that they have great vegan options--not just the typical boring stuff, but actual fun, flavorful choices. It's awesome to have tasty dairy-free treats that still feel like a treat. Cute spot, chill vibe, and everything tasted super fresh. Definitely coming back!

    I've been looking for Ube Icecream for years!!I've finally found it and it's the best Ube Icecream I've ever had (I'm Filipino so I've tried plenty). I'll be back many many times:)

    I love ice cream so of course I enjoyed this place. The customer service was friendly and they had a good variety of options. Curious about some of the names though haha!

    They are in their new space which is quite spacious. They have a various selection of ice creams that have no milk. They have a lot of yummy interesting flavors. They do limit the amount of taste. You can try and when you order the smaller, you can pick two different flavors.

    Ruby scoops is a popular but great spot. They offer vegan options and the prices aren't bad at all. Their flavors change but they offer samples so it helps to make a decision but if you can't there's an option to get three flavors !

    Ume Cookies & Cream .yyuummyy!!!

    Omg, cute spot! New space! Friendly staff. My first, definitely not last visit to this cute ice cream shop. Great for a date or family. I had the Ume Cookies and Cream. I'll have this again and again! It's PURPLE with cookies and cream. Smooth and creamy, not too sweet but perfect. Not too many chunks of cookies but just enough. No sugar cones, only homemade waffle or cups. I had a cup. Prices are reasonable for these homemade treats!

    Thursday 3/21/2024 After finding out about this place on yelp, I was highly interested in their Ube Oreo flavor. The customer service was very good and helpful. The worker was happy to help with explaining the flavors and giving me as many samples as I wanted. Sadly, the flavors rotate weekly so on my visit cookies ube oreo wasn't on the menu but that didn't stop me from experiencing their ice cream. I sampled: vanilla, chocolate, Dulce de leche, hot honey cornbread, troop 43, and bissop sorbet. The flavors were cool & unique but none of them really stood out to me which was disappointing but luckily I was informed about the prepacked freezer where I was able to find a prepacked ube oreo pint $11 and a pre packed cookies n cream pint $11 so I got them. One thing that really confused me was how 2 pints for $22 ended up being $25 after taxes but that's mainly due to the 7.5% meal tax which I wasn't used to at all. - prepacked cookies n cream pint * although it was freezer burn that didn't stop the ice cream from being underwhelming and disappointing. - prepacked Ube Oreo pint * this was my favorite flavor: it was a unique, interesting, and decent ice cream flavor. All in all, the ice cream experience was pretty underwhelming and did not match my expectations.

    I loved Ruby Scoops! The flavors are original and I loved that they offer vegan, gluten free and dairy free options. Oh and sprinkles are free! The staff are so friendly and patient and I loved the paintings on the wall. The customers in front of us got the flight, which looked so fun and a great way to try multiple flavors. We went on a rainy Friday evening and had no trouble finding street parking. Highly recommend!

    The Butter Brickle slaps hard but it melted a little fast. They also need bigger cups for the floats.

    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.

The ambiance was clean and orderly. Upon entering, you grab a serving tray lined with parchment and some tongs. The items are in a glass enclosed display that you have to open and place your selections on your tray for purchase. I settled on the pistachio cream filled pecan pastry, the almond twist, and strawberry shortcake. The beverage menu was extensive: matcha, flavored teas, cocoa, espresso/coffee, and more. We were greeted by pleasant staff at checkout and our orders placed in a parchment type bag for take out. They also have seating inside. The pastries were just sweet enough without being overly sweet, which I like. The pistachio cream was a perfect compliment to the pecan encrusted pastry. The almond twist was both flaky and crunchy with the sliced almonds on top, and the strawberry shortcake had layers of real strawberries, whipped topping and yellow cake that was moist. All were fresh. All in all, a great place to stop by for a morning pastry treat and tea/coffee while in the area,

Free off street parking is plentiful. There is good signage. It's now a take out only establishment since Covid. Two table are available for outdoor seating. Most customers took their orders and walked away. I visited them on a Sunday afternoon just after St. John's let out. It's just one block away and the church Patrick Henry gave a speech. There were a lot of church goers enjoying the business. Proper has a menu in the window to guide customers on choices of savory, or sweet. I wanted one of each. The man at the window was great in providing recommendations. I ordered the steak and cheese as well as the Banoffee. The preparation is already done and the man with assistant moved quickly to complete my order. I enjoyed my treats at their outdoor table and also enjoyed conversation with locals. I started with the steak & cheese which was loaded with meat and cheese. DELICIOUS! Then onto the Banoffee which smelled heavenly of cocoa. Another home run! I love bananas and if you do too this will be enjoyable. So glad I found them open on my visit. There hours are very good, but I have missed them in the Summer before on vacation. Just go, no brainer.
