A local recommend Scoop so we stopped in after dinner on a Thursday. Semi-busy around 7. Smaller spot with counter standing area inside and some seating outside. 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! read more

Parking: street parking available. There is street parking right out front and also near the entrance. 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) read more

If you are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc this will be your new favorite ice cream spot!! I come from a family with more food restrictions than a class full of picky eaters, & I was so excited to text my sister that I found ice cream flavors she can eat that aren't just watery sorbet! And not only that, but the flavors were so delicious and creamy. I've tasted my fair share of DF ice cream; this is the best I've maybe ever had. My friend could not tell a difference in her scoops either. Staff was super nice & were more than happy to entertain multiple samples. Prices were great for being allergy friendly. The shop is a little small so summer nights might have long lines, but we went on a rainy day in March. Can't wait to try the whole menu! read more

Scoop - Raspberry Mint (left) and Creme Brulee (right). Size small. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

The best and most consistent ice cream shop in the city. Incredible flavors, amazing location, impeccable service. I'll always choose this place over anywhere else. I hope they never get rid of the banana pudding! read more

I absolutely LOVE Scoop and apparently many people in Richmond do too! When we got there this evening, the line was out the door! The service was great though, and they worked to get everyone served quickly. I love anything lavender and they currently have a lavender honeycomb flavor that is to die for! I was stumped on my second flavor choice, as they all sounded amazing, but the guy serving me suggested crème brûlée as a good pairing. Such a good sweet treat that really hit the spot! read more

Don't come here unless you're okay with becoming ADDICTED to them. I've been coming here with my medical school buddies every time we hang out. Even this past weekend, my friend came down from NJ and he had to stop by Scoop before he left. I might be lactose intolerant but I endure the pain for this ice cream. I love them read more

Scoop - West is banana pudding. North is triple berry cobbler. East is strawberry. South- I don't know because I was too focused on my ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I typically prefer a plain flavored ice cream, and this place didn't really have any (no regular vanilla, only a mint cookies and cream option, etc.) The ice cream texture was creamy but overly sweet. The service was excellent and the inside is cute, so if you like more adventurous flavors you might enjoy this place! read more

Went to scoop on a hot day in Richmond and it was superb. You cant beat real ice cream on a hot day and scoop has a bunch of great flavors from traditional to non-traditional. This is also great when you are riding your bike in the area for a cooling stop. read more

A MUST TRY! I can't wait to go back and try another unique delicious ice cream! Totally deserves its #26 of top 100 ice cream locations as their sign said! I had the lavender honeycomb- normally not a flavor I would go for but it was amazing. So unique. Creamy and crunchy and perfect in one bite! Service was great! Very friendly and he let me try four flavors because I was very indecisive because each flavor was super yummy! Cute store but it didn't matter it was all about the ice cream! Little outdoor seating area. read more

My husband and I stopped by on a whim after we had dinner nearby. It's such a cute shop and all the employees were really friendly. I ordered the single which came with two scoops. I chose the chocolate peanut butter pretzel (which was vegan but still so creamy and delicious) and brown sugar cookie dough (cookie dough is my go to and the brown sugar element really was a tasty addition). It's located on one of my favorite streets in Richmond so I'm sure I'll be going back again. read more

A hidden gem in the Fan. This is a small ice cream shop that requests only 8 customers in the store at a time. The menu is plentiful with yummy flavors that include gluten free and vegan options. I had a mini of the raspberry chip. My second choice was going to be the sea salt chocolate malt. Next time. It was creamy and delicious. Very filling for a little cup which is great. You can get a loyalty card: 12 purchases get you 1 free. No restroom which I unfortunately really needed while walking about. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Scoop! The server was very kind and offered me a taste test the place was pretty chill for an early Sunday afternoon. I was able to taste test a couple of options: the caramel blondie and the mint cookies and cream. Both were great, but I went with the mint cookies and cream because it reminded me of my childhood. There is seating outside and I would consider this spot to be trendy. read more

Absolutely flabbergasted that I have never written a review, because scoop is my all time favorite ice cream place on the east coast. I am a fiend for any permutation of their strawberry sorbet, whether it's hibiscus or rose. I'm always sad when it's not in season, but their mango sorbet is a close second, along with all the other awesome, experimental flavors. Truly a Richmond staple that keeps me coming back time and time again. ily scoop ty for the memories read more

This place is like a whole in the wall. The street they are located is super cute too. Like a tiny town on this one street. Definitely a cute place to take your date for dessert read more

This is hands-down one of the best ice cream shops I've ever been to--and that's saying a lot. Their vegan options aren't just an afterthought; they're some of the best things on the menu. Creamy, flavorful, and made with real ingredients that actually shine through. You won't even miss the dairy. Whether it's a rich chocolate fudge swirl, a bright mango sorbet, or something wild like coconut matcha or peanut butter cookie, every flavor tastes thoughtfully made and ridiculously good. You can tell they care just as much about texture as they do about flavor--it's smooth, scoopable perfection. The staff is friendly, the vibes are cozy, and the whole place smells like happiness. Dairy-free or not, you're going to find something to love here. Honestly, this place makes other ice cream shops feel like they're not trying hard enough. read more

Great ice cream place with delicious flavors. Zero notes. The line is always long but moves quickly. And it is worth the wait!

Scoop was fantastic. Even with a line out the door, service was fast and the servers were helpful and nice, allowing us to try a couple before deciding what we wanted. Ice cream: 5/5: The flavors did not disappoint, and the texture of the ice cream was also nice. Portions were large, so my sister and I ended up sharing a cone with 2 flavors. Ambience: 4/5: The interior was super cute, with a neon sign for picture, but it was a little small in there, and they had a low occupancy limit. I recommend being prepared to enjoy your ice cream outside or on a little walk. read more

At my gal's recommendation we decided to do girl time here so I can try their ice cream. Coming from NYC & been to Lancaster tasted some of the best ice cream, I was excited and have high expectations. On a Wednesday night on a quiet street, there was a line waiting to order (max 8 persons in store at one time). We quickly made to the front line and tried few samples which the serving team gladly give. The stores is simple and clean. No dressing inside the store. They're3 are tables with chairs & benches outside the store. After trying about 5 flavors, I decided on Triple Berry Cobbler and Creme Brulee. My gal decided to do the Triple Berry Cobbler & her favorite, Chocolate Truffle, Ice Cream with Brownie. The serving gal was quick to help and clarified our order to ensure she got it correctly. We were able to grab a table outside and throughly enjoyed our ice cream. You can taste the homemade flavors with quality ingredients in the ice cream. The brownie is moist and chewy (warned up). It paired well with the ice cream! Definitely coming back again and try other flavors. read more

Amazing, creamy ice cream in luxurious flavors! I had a very hard time choosing my flavors, but ended up doing the small in a cone with pistachio and coffee. Both flavors were delicious and i was so full after a big lunch and a good portion of ice cream otherwise I would have gone back for more. The line at Scoop tells you you're at a good place. But it moved quickly, and then I had to make a choice! Almost not enough time to decide! I'll definitely revisit when I'm back in the city. read more

Scoop is a walk-in, quaint storefront in Richmond. The service was outstanding and everyone working was so kind and on top of that of course their ice cream had to be delicious. We enjoyed the cardamom pistachio as well as the blueberry pop tart. We will definitely be coming back-can't wait for summer! read more

a variety of flavors. we got a flight which comes with three scoops and you can add waffle cone pieces if you want. so yummy. will be back however there is always a line out the door (for good reason). it's a small store so only like 10 people can be inside at a time. something to keep in mind. read more

What a fun little place. It's obvious that it's a locals favorite. Right after we got in line (second after one family), people were lined up half way down the block. There was only one staff member working that day and even though he was stressed (I would be too), he was polite and friendly. He made us feel like no one else mattered but us at that moment. He was puzzled as to why so many customers until we mentioned spring break. I got the coffee ice cream in hopes of killing two birds with one stone. I wanted ice cream but I also wanted coffee so of course, coffee ice cream it was. What a great choice. It was so rich and creamy. It definitely satisfied both cravings. For those that live near by, lucky you. For those visiting that area, definitely stop by and enjoy like my family and I did. read more

I came here due to high request & supposedly one of the best ice cream locations in Richmond. I did not have that same experience; The location is small, 8 max capacity limit, not a variety of options for flavors, cones , and the sizes of cups were not to my liking.. I did try the mango sherbet it was pretty good but too thick to my liking and overly sweet. The service gave it 3 stars .. The employees were generous & knowledgeable to the ice cream they provided and gave samples. read more

The place from outside looks a bit old but they have some good flavors. Apparently they are a top 100 ice-cream place in whole of the USA. That was good to know from a poster outside. We only had kids have some ice-cream - they loved it. The service is good overall and price feels right. read more

Love this Fan hidden gem! Great selection with many gluten-free options. My favorite flavor is the mint chip! read more

Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Cute shop, great selection, and reasonable prices. I sampled a few flavors and we settled on key lime pie and mint cookies and cream. They offer free waffle cone pieces or sprinkles. It was a hot day and the cup was full (appreciated), so it was a little messy, but that's not their fault. Flavor was good. We eat a lot of ice cream and I would say definitely better than average. Nice mint and cookies; it could be just a little creamier feel. Key lime tastes like its name. A tiny bit salty and just not quite as creamy as I'd like for a 5 star. I still have a different RVA favorite, but this works if I'm downtown. read more

Excellent service and great recommendations from staff. I ended up getting the icecream flight. Of the flavors, the banana cream was my favorite. You swear you were eating banana crème pie! The chocolate with salt was really good. The basil was too light and almost tasted like vanilla. You have a choice of toppings for the flight and I went with chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was delicious and very sweet. read more

Thursday 3/21/2024 Found this spot on yelp and was surprised to find out that it's a ranked as the 26th best ice cream on yelp so best believe I had to see it for myself. I sampled creme brulee, triple chocolate, and brown sugar chocolate chip. While the flavors are unique and different none of them really stood out to me taste wise. The creme brulee was the best of the 3 so I got that in a double cup for $7.50. Although the creme brulee was the best of the 3 flavors I sampled, it was just alright and I probably wouldn't get it again. All in all, I heavily disagree with the 26th best ice cream ranking as I've had plenty better (like gelati celesti) but to each their own. read more

I came here for some desert after dinner and they had a bunch of interesting flavors to choose from. The staff were very friendly and allowed us to sample and flavor we wanted. I sampled the crème brûlée and Blanchard coffee which both tasted amazing. I ended up getting a mini scoop (2oz) of the blanchards coffee and they ended up giving me a very generous scoop! I ended up paying $5 for a good size of delicious ice cream, I will definitely come back during the summer!! Food: 8.0 Staff/service: 8.0 Value: 8.0 Overall: 8.0/10 read more

It's the absolute best ice cream spot. I don't live in the area at all but when I am in town I try to stop by here at least once a day! It's a small ice cream shop with the kindest employees. they have some standard flavors and then they have some interesting ones - in a good way! My favorite is the honey lavender, but I've sampled almost every other flavor they have and it's all too good. highly recommend! read more

Nothing beats a creamy ice cream cone on a hot summer day!!! My family and I decided to check this place out as we were craving ice cream. I ordered the triple berry cobbler flavor and it was so tasty!!! They offer a flight option which consist of 3 mini scoops in case you are feeling a little indecisive. The staff was a little impatient and not very friendly. So that was a bummer. Perhaps they were just having a bad day? Not sure. Luckily the taste of the ice cream over shined the staff. Overall I really enjoyed my ice cream and see why this place landed #26 on Yelps top 100 ice cream shops in the US for 2023!! Check it out. read more
