This place had some interesting flavors and i am all for it. I chose the flight and got 5 different scoops. Black sesame- pretty solid and i really enjoy the nuttiness but for some reason i think that its more nutty than creamy. 4 berry sorbet- that one was pretty good i think it was pretty fruity but the combo ended up tasting more like raspberry vs the combo Lychee- honestly pretty solid not much to say except it was good Boko(i think)- it was really good idk the different between coconut and young coconut but it was yummy Ny cherry MY FAVORITE HIGHKEY IT WAS SO GOOD IT WAS SWEET BUT LIGHT I COULD EAT IT SO MUCH read more

There's a wide variety of flavors to choose from, which made it honestly hard to decide because everything looked so good. We ended up ordering the Crazy Jen's Brownie with chocolate chips, and it was absolutely delicious rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The inside really has that classic ice cream parlor feel to it, which made the experience even more fun and nostalgic. The service was amazing too. The staff was super friendly, and we even found out that Jen is actually his wife which made the whole visit feel more personal and memorable. read more

Scoop is an absolute gem in downtown Palo Alto and hands down the best place to get ice cream. The freshly made waffle cone--still a little warm when you get it--is pure perfection, especially paired with their thick, creamy ice cream. I tried the strawberry flavor, which is packed with real chunks of strawberries, and it was incredible. The bourbon vanilla is another standout and easily one of my favorites. The combination couldn't have been better. On top of the amazing ice cream, the staff is super friendly and genuinely helpful. The shop itself is clean, well organized, and inviting. I also love sitting outside and enjoying my treat--it's the perfect little moment. Highly recommend Scoop to anyone looking for exceptional ice cream in Palo Alto!! read more

Hands down the best microcreamery in the Bay Area. Delicious and a perfect treat to make any day special. Love the cardamom and ginger. The Thai tea is also out of this world. Cones are made fresh and are addictively good. If you are in Palo Alto, Scoop is not to be missed. read more

I had a 3 flavors bowl of ice cream from here. They had an interesting variety of fllavors. Matcha green tea was my favorite flavor. Ube was good as well. Cardamom ginger was an interesting flavor, but should have more punch. read more

Yall cramming into that place down the steeet with all the oddball weirdo flavors... licorice?? let me tell you what, I have hit the Motherlode, and it is called Grasshopper. This mint and brownie ice cream has blown my top. I like mint fine enough.. and you have to be able to bear it to like this, but it's really about the brownie/cookie goodness that is mixed in it. I have gone back once and will be back again! Tasted the young coconut, also good. read more

We had a good experience at Scoop Microcreamery. Based on the previous reviews, the ability to get samples has varied in the past. When I asked, the server told me we could taste up to two flavors, which I find to be reasonable. The ice cream is Mitchell's from San Francisco, and it is good quality. We each got two scoops in a cup, and there is a good variety of flavors to choose from. I got Nutella and pistachio and my husband got bourbon vanilla and Grasshopper pie, which is a mint flavor with chocolate cookies pie crust mixed in. The shop is small and has no inside seating. The few tables and chairs outside the shop were taken, so we took our ice cream to the open area across the street, where we found seating available. read more

Adorable ice-cream and sorbet shop with incredible hard to come unique flavors, e.g. lychee :-) Plus a host of chocolate toffee butter rum praline etc flavor profile for those like my husband who loves those. For me, I have a penchant for fruit stuff, which they also have. Their artisan style is creamy and decadent. Customer service excellent and efficient; it's on the main drag and parking can be challenging. Prices are fair. read more

Some people do flights of beer, this place offers a flight of ice cream and it was worth it. Why? Where else can you try different types of ice cream without huge guilt over calories? Seriously though, staff was nice (although I have to know why it's called crazy Jen's brownie...what did Jen do to be labeled crazy?). My favorite was the Cardamon Ginger but the bourbon vanilla was just as good. Prices are fair. Highly recommend. read more

We split an ice cream flight because there were a ton of flavors to choose from. We got Oreo, bourbon vanilla, peanut butter, brownie, and banana. The bourbon vanilla was super alcohol forward. Other flavors were okay but wish there was more Oreo chunks and stronger peanut butter flavor. read more

This little ice cream shop is so cute! They have so many unique flavors from Thai tea, ube, and pumpkin to cardamom ginger and black sesame flavors you won't find at your regular ice cream parlor. Rodrigo was really nice and gave us great customer service. He let us try different flavors, which I really appreciated. We ended up going with their pumpkin and espresso toffee crunch, and both flavors went really well together. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by. read more

We stopped by here on a summer Saturday night looking for an icecreamy dessert. I would scoop this place up onto your dessert list because this is one of our new favorite icecream spots! We got two scoops of the Lychee + Red Raspberry Sorbet in a cup. Lychee (4/5): This one is really unique, when was the last time you tasted a creamy lychee? It's thick with heavy dairy content and so heavenly creamy that it'll just melt into a spoonful of opaque white liquid in your mouth! The sorta artificial-tasting lychee flavor vibrantly bursts through the sturdy notes of milkiness in the icecream. Rich yet refreshing! Red Raspberry Sorbet (5/5): This one has that desirable icy snow texture of a good sorbet paired with a tart, bright fruity flavor of fresh raspberries picked straight from grandma's backyard. A little bit sweet, but tastes pretty natural. Very enjoyable! Note that they don't do samples here -- instead, they have a "see you later", which is basically they'll give you a complementary fat sample scoop of another flavor AFTER you order. It's a bit unusual since the whole point of samples is to make sure you choose a flavor you like, but hey at least it makes the line move faster without that one person trying twenty different samples and still having trouble deciding which flavor to choose. The worker who served us was also super nice and friendly, even taking time to offer taking a photo of us when she noticed we were taking photos of our icecream inside. Overall, would definitely recommend giving this spot a try if you're around Palo Alto! read more

SERVICE - located off of university avenue in downtown Palo Alto - parking available on streets or in nearby lots - be prepared to wait in a long line especially during peak hours - no sampling - limited outdoor seating MENU - unique selection of ice creams and sorbets - average price ($6 per scoop) FOOD - peach mango sorbet (6/10): this tastes like the peach ring candy but does not have a strong mango flavor. It was a little icy which made it melt into juice on the hot summer day. WOULD I GO BACK? I would hope that they make more inventive vegan ice creams that are not just sorbets before I go back. read more

"See you later" You have to buy before you can sample. This is an interesting concept because you'll be picking the flavors blindly. Their ube flavor is not the best. Definitely drive south for the best ube flavored ice cream! The young lady was nice and helpful. She explained the "see you later" to us when we asked. It's a normal ice cream shop. Casual vibe / ambiance. Ice cream is always good after a nice lunch or dinner read more

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! My team and I came here for a sweet treat AND OUR LIVES WERE CHANGED. Not kidding wished I was from here so I could eat it everyday! It's clean, cute, and had the sweetest worker! P.S. free samples, EVERY FLAVOR IS BOMB, and the banana is amazing! read more

Scoop is one of the best creameries in Palo Alto. They have the best ice cream flavor I have ever tried: the brown sugar banana. The ice cream is firm and creamy--it doesn't melt as you are enjoying your scoop. The waffle cone is warm, crunchy, and homemade. The shakes are rich and thick. The team members, especially the owner, are very helpful. read more

Very kind and patient employees! The whole place is so cute and quaint with a chalkboard menu and the toppings are presented nicely, so you can make sure you're not missing any yummy toppings! The Ice cream itself was very good but the true champ for me was the house made hot fudge- so good! Would come back for sure. read more

Thank you, next! Scoops was one of my fav ice cream places but sadly it's no longer the same. I heard owners changed. First of all, no samples?!?? You have so many different flavors, how does one know what would be the optimal choice?!! Second, the ice cream came out more icy than usual. I should've known when the staff pulled the tub out of a freezer. It did not look fresh at all. Staff wasn't the friendliest either. There's better ice cream down the block that I would recommend instead. Super sad that scoops turned out like this.... read more

Located in downtown Palo Alto, street parking is hard to find but there are plenty of parking garages and lots. There's no indoor seating whatsoever. Vanilla bean and espresso toffee crunch milkshake (4/5): delicious. It wasn't too sweet and I think my combo of flavors were pretty spectacular. I do have to say the shake was a bit hard to suck and wasn't as creamy as I'd like. Nonetheless the flavor was good. Overall, Scoop Microcreamery is a good place to get some late night ice cream. read more

Best flavors in downtown Palo Alto! My favorite is chocolate peanut butter. Owner is super nice as well.

I went in yesterday and ordered a small one scoop for my little cousin and then I ordered two scoops for me. The cashier charged both as medium and so I paid about a whopping $18 when I asked for my receipt, I definitely seen the cashiers face change and I wondered why. He charged both as a medium. so pay attention to when being charged or ask for a receipt. I wouldn't have made a big deal out of it, but if my little cousin could finish her ice cream within two minutes and there's a big difference in sizing from mine, I wouldn't have came here. Also, I would skip the toppings at that place if you have any allergies. All the toppings were a little mixed and we have a severe nut allergy. read more

I stopped by Scoops in the evening and ordered a pumpkin ice cream. There was a lot of pumpkin and spice flavor. This ice cream was a bit icy but it does give it a homemade feel.

Visited on Mother's Day and was shocked by how unprofessional the experience was. The employee working showed clear irritation when customers asked questions and limited samples to two very small tastes, then acted visibly annoyed if you inquired about anything else. It was clear she didn't want to be there and wasn't interested in helping anyone. Beyond the poor attitude, the store was unclean. The tables outside look like they've never been cleaned. The overall environment didn't feel sanitary. It made me question whether they're meeting basic health and hygiene standards. I hope management takes this seriously, because based on what I saw, it reflects very poorly on whoever is in charge. read more

The icecream shop itself was clean and neat. They have a variety of flavors and there are vegan options as well.

Came here on 6/16 after dining at Pho Ha Noi. Bumping this up to 4 stars given how busy this place was given the Jingle promotion, and the workers here still had bright smiles and moved us quickly through the line. We each got: - Waffle cone + Hella Nutella scoop: lol Allen could not taste the Nutella and momentarily had an identity crisis on what Nutella tasted like. - Waffle cone + Grasshopper Pie scoop: yummy! I love mint and even better when there is oreo mixed in it! Would recommend this flavor if you are a minty girly like me. Overall, I guess I would come here again! There are other fruity flavors I would like to try, like Lychee. read more

I love this ice cream shop! It's a great traditional ice cream shop if you prefer more standard flavors and toppings. They also have so many different flavors! Their menu is much larger than what's in the glass display, but that just means they'll scoop it from their fridge they have behind the display. Their service is good. Usually there's not a line when we go, but even when there is it moves pretty fast. They don't do tasting samples, but they do have a "see you later" where you can get a small sample scoop of an ice cream with your order for free. I really like that because you can try an ice cream flavor you're not sure of and then maybe next time get it. The ice cream shop is really cute. It feels like an old-school ice cream shop with its chalkboard menu, cute tile walls, and clear displays. It reminds of a small town ice cream shop. That being said, it's clean and new so overall well-maintained. Parking: There are many parking garages in Palo Alto so it's not too hard for us to find parking read more

My man putting in work! Had a LOT of people in line and he was knocking every order out smoothly. I can appreciate someone who can keep their cool during a rush. As for the flavors, we went with Espresso Toffee Crunch (FIRE, but ice cream) and Thai Tea (my son was quiet the whole time eating.... a good sign) He also got the peach mango sorbet. The facility was very clean, organized, and well stocked. We'll be coming back again for sure. read more

Really disappointing when an ice cream place doesn't allow for samples. I understand not wanting to give unlimited samples but allowing 1-2 is standard for most places. More confusing is that they have a "see you later" feature where they can give a small dollop of another flavor on top of whatever you order for free (which is a bigger quantity than a sample spoon), basically allowing people to sample after buying instead of before. That having been said, we generally enjoyed what we got. The cardamom and ginger was great, the ube was good, and the bourbon vanilla tasted like regular vanilla but was still solid. I would really encourage the business to allow samples, especially when you have unique flavors and customers don't want to commit $6+ and risk not liking it. read more
