Our daughter has been searching for that viral cotton candy ice cream burrito and we found it here! She was so excited. Ordering consist of choosing your 2 cotton candy flavors, 2 flavors for your ice cream, and 2 toppings. I'm not going to lie, the thought of it didn't make me feel too excited about trying it. Our order was ready so we prepared our pallet for a sugar overload/takeover. I have to admit that it was NOT as sweet as I anticipated it to be. The texture of it all was such a cluster of deliciousness - I loved it. You have to eat fast or the ice cream melts and hardens the cotton candy. We ended up eating the ice cream out of the cotton candy. Overall, it was worth a try. It was an expensive $20 dessert, but my kiddo left happy and that's all that matters. It was $20 well spent. read more

Scoops Ice Cream Parlor - Cotton Candy Burrito - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Monterey, California

Sooo yummy and lots of options. They offered concha ice cream sandwich, toasted marshmallow topping, and an ice cream cotton candy burrito which the people in front of us ordered. They also had fun hot chocolates and energy drinks so something for everyone. We got there right before a rush so we were lucky-- it gets really busy. The place is cute but it got packed so we just ate in the car. We visit Monterey a lot and I could definitely see us making this a regular stop for us! read more

Really delicious. My waffle cone was warm and fresh. My nieces ice cream scoop fell minutes after buying and was replaced. Everyone behind the counter was kind. Good vibes. Only con is the couch. Super pretty color. Totally understand that ice cream messes happen, especially with children. But the couch looks a bit gross so sit on. Overall the pace still deserves 5 stars and will come back. read more

Scoops Ice Cream Parlor - Medium pralines and cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Monterey, California

Cute ice cream parlor with ice cream stools at the front entrance and chocolate dipped waffle cone lights hanging from the ceiling in their cozy corner. Service was amazing since there was only one server and she was doing everything: making the waffle cones, making the cotton candy and she was super nice too. They have a variety of flavors: we opted for the ube, birthday cake, and Kahlua coffee. The ube was nice and light and not overly sweet. And the Kahlua coffee had kopiko bits in it. IYKYK. We got toasted marshmallow on everything because we're obsessed. Everything was yummy and not too sweet which was nice. But I also saw that you could go even further with your sweet tooth and have a cotton candy ring around your ice cream cone too! Not for the faint of heart. But you do you boo! read more

8.3/10 We ordered the Ice Cream Concha and paired it with Ube Ice Cream and Walnuts. It was a good dessert and a pairing I had never tried before. The ube ice cream was the highlight, smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. It really hit the spot and had a nice creamy texture. The walnuts added a good crunch and some extra texture to the dessert, though the pairing felt a little awkward at times. The concha itself was good and better than many I've had before. It wasn't overly dry, and they warmed it up which helped a lot. That said, conchas tend to be naturally a bit dry and crumbly, so that texture is somewhat unavoidable. Since you can customize the pairing yourself, it's possible we just didn't choose the most complementary combination. Service was amazing, the staff was very friendly and even let us sample flavors, which was a nice touch. The ambiance was good overall with a nice look to the place and cool decor. It did feel like it was starting to look a little worn or slightly dirty in spots, though they also just recently opened so it may just need some upkeep. read more

The building is remarkable! So beautiful, so clean, and has the perfect esthetic! The moment we walked in, we were greeted with energetic smiles and a welcome! The customer service was top tier! I cannot have sugar, and they explained their sugar free options, and when I tell you it is so good!!!!!!!!!!! I am not even kidding! My husband said his Oreo cookies waffle cone was delicious as well! I got a cup and was able to add toppings!! We will be back, and hopefully they'll have their sugar free butter pecan by then!! read more

Yeesh. The ice cream was OKAY. I don't know if it was $6/scoop okay but hey, it was alright. The cones..... holy shit these were worse than store bought cones. They were so bad. Tastes like styrofoam, they were soggy but also way too hard. I think three scoops with a little toppings shouldn't also cost $36. If you've had salt and straw- you will be disappointed. read more

Scoops is SO fun. We came for the famous cotton candy burrito and it was every bit as wild as it sounds -- three scoops of Marianne's ice cream, two toppings, plus another topping of your choice, all wrapped up in fluffy cotton candy. Total sugar overload, but in the best way possible. Shoutout to the guy working when we went because he was putting in WORK carefully wrapping the burrito so it wouldn't fall apart and making sure it looked good. You can tell he really puts effort into it. Messy, over-the-top, and such a fun dessert experience -- would 100% go back! read more

They serve Marianne's and First Street (Smart N Final) brand ice creams. Lots of options and a clean environment .

Second time customer Second 5 star review. Why, Because Scoops is the BEST. Tried 2 new flavors, Banana Nut which is my new favorite and a Marble Black Raspberry which was great, Very Berryful.... Staff once again were knowledgeable and friendly. I hate to say it but this places just jumped Revival Ice Cream shop as Scoops ice cream in my opinion has more flavor and way larger portions. You always leave with a full belly and a smile on your face.... No REGERTS.... read more

Scoops Ice Cream Parlor - Heaven in a Waffle Bowl - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Monterey, California

Got the Kahlua, had nice flavor however lacked in mix ins. The cone was stale and lacked in flavor, for 2 dollars I would have expected more. The total was 30 for one cone and one bowl, the ice cream was not bad, but lackluster for the price, and it seems like they were compensating the experience of getting the ice cream for the actual flavor and quality. Overall, and play experience, but there are better places for the price. read more

There was a line out the door on a blustery night, which is how you know this place is so good! I'll have to come back for the ice cream, but with how chilly it was, I just had to go for the toasted marshmallow hot chocolate. Let me tell you -- it absolutely hits the spot. It was super rich and the marshmallow was delicious. I couldn't finish it, but was so glad to have skipped dessert and dinner to come here. read more

So happy to have a bright and friendly ice cream shop in downtown Monterey that carries the incomparable Marianne's ice creams! We will make this our ice cream spot for sure. read more

Had the concha ice cream sandwich with 1020 ice cream for $7.95. It was delicious, concha was warm and fresh, 1020 ice cream was fabulous and tasted so fresh. Had them add toasted marshmallow to it as well. The menu has some fantastic items that I need to go back to try. Got a container of earth cotton candy for $5 for my grandkids. Staff were very helpful and friendly. There was plenty of seating and it was very inviting with lots of cool ice cream decorations. Lots of parking in the lot in back. Definitely recommend stopping by for a sweet treat! read more

Omg you're joking!!! This was totally worth the 20ish minute wait in line! Unfortunately they ran out of one of the special flavors by the time I was able to order, so I ordered the caramel ice cream instead and holy moly it was so yummy! But the best part was the heaping scoop of marshmallow fluff I went last night and am still dreaming of it. The workers were very kinda to me as well! So glad I chose this place over any other ice cream shop in town. read more

Cute ice cream place with yummy ice cream and nice people! Well done to the team and I would go here again.

This is def THE place to get a sweet treat in Monterey!! The interior is so cute and aesthetic with the ice cream theme & pink everywhere. Their menu is soo creative & not only does everything look so cute, it's also actually soo tasty (I feel like usually it's one or the other but not here)!! The prices are soo reasonable too. I've tried a bunch of stuff and my faves are the smores ice cream, hot cocoa in a concha bowl, and cotton candy ice cream burrito. Their stuff is all very shareable too since you get so much food. Also the staff is so so nice!! read more

There aren't many ice cream places in Monterey so I was so excited to try this place out. The menu had a variety of things that I've never tried before. The ice cream was so good that it was hard to settle for just one. I sampled almost every flavor they had and all of them were good!! The employees were so kind and sweet. I loved the decor and environment. Very friendly, very PINK I'll definitely be coming back to try out more!!! read more

Un flipping real ice cream. Owner is an absolute doll. She was so passionate about her ice cream and her dream of running her ice cream business. Her and are husband are serving up the scoops which is so cool. Ya'll go line the door down the street so she can open another one and retire early. The place is clean, decorated beautiful, smells delicious and has quality ice cream that matches the fun and viby atmosphere. I'm HOOKED on the 1020....like just get the 1020 for-real it is stupid good. I was SHOVELING it in my mouth I couldn't stop. Put some marshmallow on top too and get sent to heaven. This place ROCKS and I didn't have to stand in line for 18 hours for some super overrated other stuff that we won't mention but IYKYK. read more

I came into Scoops about 20 minutes before closing and wasn't sure if they would still have waffle cones and bowls available. They did, made freshly for each order coming in the door until closing. The cone was fresh and tasted even better. They let me order a kids scoop portion with a waffle cone bowl and added the toasted marshmallow which was so good! Overall, the staff was friendly, accommodating and you can never go wrong with Marianne's ice cream. I will definitely be going back for dessert when in Monterey! read more

Super fun place for cotton candy and ice cream with a twist. I had a vanilla ice cream in a waffle cone and I got real toasted marshmallow on the top. It was delicious. We had a birthday celebration and the nice gentleman behind the counter treated my daughter to her ice cream. The cotton candy was so fun to watch being made and he made it very creative and the two that shared the cotton candy couldn't have been happier. Will definitely go back to scoops fun place and you can't beat Marianne's ice cream. read more

First of all... before the ice cream, absolutely AAAAMAZING customer service. My daughter had been wanting to try the ice cream burrito forever and her wish came true finally. The best part was the employee Micheal went above and beyond to make the experience so fun for her. Brought her out a stool and all so she could film him making. Ice cream is so delishious! I got chocolate on the delish fresh made waffle cone with toasted marshmallow. Hubby got a raspberry lemonade with peach that was delish! And the little one got her crazy cotton candy ice creams wrapped burrito with lavender ice cream and birthday cake. Highly recommend this place. And kudos to the employees who love thier job and it shows! Thank you for making the experience amazing. read more

We love this new ice cream spot and it has such fun items on the menu. The kids can't wait to go back and the staff is so nice!

The line out the door made me think that this was going to be amazing! But I was very disappointed with the very small selection of flavors. They had absolutely no chocolate flavor anything and it was mostly fruit flavors. My husband got the Ice cream cone with marshmallow fluff and it was overwhelming with how much it had. Probably won't be going back anytime soon. read more
