I stopped by last night to try some of the spumoni ice cream. I mentioned to the guy working there that I'd never had this flavor before, and he gave me a sample to try. I liked it, so I ordered a single scoop of it, and it was quite creamy and delicious. They also have fresh-made waffle cones for an extra 95 cents, but I decided to be good/cheap and just get a sugar cone, and it was more than sufficient to satisfy my craving. I have two minor criticisms. First, the ice cream could have been packed onto the cone a bit more firmly. A couple of times when I was eating the ice cream, it came dangerously close to falling off (note: I'm a biter, not a licker). Second, it was unclear what brand of ice cream I was eating, since there was a Hershey's ice cream decal on the freezer, but I noticed an invoice for Perry's ice cream. I'm pretty sure most of the ice cream is Perry's, though, since they're listed as a vendor on the Perry's website. read more

Really great ice cream! I had the birthday cake flavor. It was creamy, rich and full of birthday cake batter, jimmies and blue frosting!! Yum! I am soooooo glad they didn't use chunks of cake - cake bits get soggy. And ruins the flavor and texture of the ice cream. Anyways, they used a really tasty cake batter. It had limited seating but that's ok, because ice cream should be eaten on the go or outside. Just saying!! They had a lot a variety, so there's something for everyone!! Enjoy!! Until next time!! read more

Holy bajesus. Had a sudden and very random craving for ice cream at 8:30pm last night after dinner -- and thank goodness this place was a walkable distance from my home and open till 9:30!! Props definitely to the latter because what place opens this late in a small neighborhood?? Anyways - first time going there and saw all the great reviews on yelp but oh my lordy... This place was beyond delicious! I tried a number of flavors and honestly couldn't choose between them so I did what made the most sense... Get the first two flavors I tried (cause I'm definitely going back for the rest). Had the pumpkin and *** sinfully (can't remember the name but it's expresso flavored). Both were perfect - not overly sweet like most places make it but super creamy. Also treated myself even more with their homemade waffle cone. Worth it. Definitely going back. read more

I like the strawberry cheesecake flavor! The sugar cone is way sweet than the ice cream itself. The ice cream starts to meld fast when u out of the store. So, you'd better finish it in the store! read more

A quick stop for a chocolate milkshake and it was a tasty treat for the day. Who cares about the calories.

Superman is my favorite ice cream and this is where I like to get my fix. After having lived in a place where this flavor was nowhere to be found for the past ten years, it's nice to now have it within walking distance. Shop is very clean and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend this location! read more

Lots of ice cream flavors, lots of cone options- what more could you want? My coworkers and I stopped here for a late day treat on a Spring day. I had the moose tracks with a scoop of coffee ice cream- I highly recommend this combination, it was super tasty. Service was quick and the prices were modest. Looking forward to coming back! read more

I'm not a huge dessert or ice cream lover, but on that rare occasion where I'm craving something, but I don't know what, I know that I can go here and choose something that will be to my liking. So many flavors! I am certain anyone could go here and find something to tantalize their taste buds. The girls working were super nice and friendly, prices beyond reasonable, and the flavors that we tried were great (loved me the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream). I highly recommend this new little neighborhood gem! With so many options and flavors, you won't be disappointed. read more

SCOOPS!! Is the best place for ice cream in Bloomfield. They have a TON of flavors to choose from. My personal favorite is birthday cake. I went there a couple days ago and they were out of Birthday cake, so I tried red velvet, and it was just as good! They make their own waffle cones too which are delicious. Scoops is also very reasonable priced. You can ice cream for two people for about $6-$8. Yummy. read more

Stopped in to drop off a book for UPS and couldn't pass up the ice cream! So many flavors. The birthday cake was def. yummy in this tummy! Will be back again, sooner than later I hope! read more

I've never been a big ice cream person, but after trying this place I CANT STOP WANTING ICE CREAM. The cannoli ice cream is my absolute favorite. They have so many flavors and I'll be going back again and again to try them all. read more

I don't live nearby but make it a point to drive here a few times per summer because this is the very BEST ice cream in Pittsburgh! Amazing flavor selection. They have the classics and fun flavors like my favorite: cotton candy. The price is very reasonable for what you get and they offer kids sizes if you don't want a lot. I've visited their Carnegie location and it was just as delicious except it had a bigger eating space and sold candy! Overall, I'd give scoops 10 stars if I could! read more

Scoops in Bloomfield - Cotton candy ice cream, Single Scoop Ice Cream Cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Nothing spectacular but not a disappointment. 1 worker during a 9pm rush. He was friendly and running around like crazy filling orders. No seating to hang out besides 3 stools (I think). Fairly overpriced for being Hershey and perry's brand ice cream. Sundae was 2 small scoops, tiny bit of fudge, and crushed oreos for $4.50. Compared to Pages Dairy Mart or Antney's this place would be a 2 star, but if you're looking for something sweet and don't mind paying a little too much for what you get, it's not too bad. Out of convenience, I'm sure I'll be back. New to this side of the city but see no competition for me to go elsewhere. As for their website; very confusing. Menu is all jumbled with all their locations mixed within. The sundae I wanted, wasn't even listed inside the Bloomfield location so I got something else. Could definitely organize and separate the locations menus. read more

Cannoli ice cream! Oh my GOD! It was a delicious revelation. And the spumoni was great too. Very nice young women working the scoopers and good prices. One scoop would have been plenty but I couldn't choose between the two flavors (many others looked great too). This will be a must visit next time I'm in town. read more

I've got to say, this scoop shop sure fills a void! Prior to its inception, Bloomfield was sorely lacking in delicious, open-late places to grab a cone of your favorite flavor. That said, there are some bugs in the system. Pro's: Close to where you live (if you're in Bloomfield or Friendship, that is!) Ice Cream! (it basically sells itself) Employs local teens To-go pints are affordable Has coffee/chocolate flavor, dark chocolate flavor, and an awesome praline almond caramel Gluten free red velvet cake flavor Has a bathroom & place to sit Cons: Scoops are somewhat pricey for basic Hershey's/Perry's Flavors do not include some basic favorites (where's the mint chocolate chip?) The price is a bit steep for a single scoop of no-frills-came-out-of-a-tub ice cream Not the cleanest place Confusing array of colors/flavors targeted at kids in unnatural colors - I was a bit put off by the NEON yellow and BRIGHT blue that both look like play-doh in a tub... I like that this place is nearby, I will likely go back, but there's nothing other than its lack of competition that sets it apart. I appreciate that it employs local kids, but I wish there was something interesting (a flavor of the week the kids who work there created, free topping of the week, etc.). read more

I love Scoops, no simpler way to say it. My family often went to Scoops on the Boulevard when we lived in Brookline so we were thrilled to find out there is a Scoops in Bloomfield. Same ice cream and friendly customer service. I love the birthday cake flavor with a waffle cone and my husband tries a new flavor every time. This will definitely be our regular ice cream shop now that we live in the east part of Pittsburgh. read more

I'm not much of an ice cream connoisseur. In fact I rarely eat it. First job was at a Dairy Queen, ruined it for me. That said the Ice Cream at Scoops in Bloomfield was exceptional. It was very rich and creamy the way an ultra-premium ice cream should be. The sugar cone was crisp and stayed that way until I had finished it. I only got salted caramel even though that is the trendy flavor of the moment. It was very good with abundant swirls of caramel and whole pieces of chocolate/caramel candies. I didn't really taste much of the "salt" though. All said, I may need to change my opinion on ice cream with this local establishment a short walk away. read more

For the first few months of my arrival to Pittsburgh I decided to try a different ice cream shop as a Sunday treat until I discovered Scoops and since then I haven't been able to go elsewhere. This ice cream is by far the best I've had in Pittsburgh. Each ice cream has chunky, flavorful bits, well distributed throughout, making every bite delectable. I'm a huge ice cream fiend and went to the Ben and Jerry's factory in Vermont one year to tour their store. Interesting story that one of the co founders (either Ben or Jerry) had a diminished sense of taste and was unable to fully appreciate the flavor of ice cream they were making, and so he asked for bigger chunks. Scoops is one of the few places that really put this idea into practice. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

The ice cream tasted fine, but... We came into the shop at 5 minutes till 10 (they close at 10) and the girls working kept looking at the clock. Our sons tried quickly to choose our flavors but overall it was an uncomfortable experience. read more

The best ice cream I've ever had! Too many flavors and crispy vanilla waffle cone. Highly recommended! read more

One of those local places to get excellent ice cream, which I love. They weren't re-inventing the wheel, just great ice cream and good service. I am giving them a 4 instead of a 3 because they have so much variety and were affordable. read more

Best ice cream shop in town. Thanks for staying open during covid times - it's the highlight of my week to stop by for a treat :)

Stopped here on 7/31/2014. The owner waited on my husband and I. The service was great and the ice cream was even better. I will be returning very soon to try the banana cream pie flavor. Great hours too. read more

Just a basic ice cream shop.....nothing spectacular. But hey if you are craving ice cream then it will do! read more

It was fine. It's a small place with only three stools and no tables, so you can't really sit and enjoy it there. They have many flavors but it's just big tubs of Hershey's and another brand - nothing special. Hardly any toppings. After having worked in a very similar ice cream shop, I can tell you it's probably not suuuper sanitary but it looks clean enough. I might go again. read more

We went in to get our kids ice cream after school. Ordered 2 kids size and 2 adult size (1-scoop) for $10. Basically both were the same size. Very stingy portions and way overpriced for what is, basic ice cream (it's Hershey brand). Basically overpriced and stingy portions for "meh" level ice cream. read more

This is such a cute neighborhood icecream shop. There are plenty of fun traditional and non-traditional flavors and best of all, fresh made waffle cones. I was able to see the staff make a milkshake for a customer in front of me and it looked absolutely delicious! The staff was very helpful in obtaining a last minute icecream birthday cake and did such a nice job! Will definitely visit again! read more

This is my go to place for ice cream cakes! They have a bunch of different sizes, from petit cakes that serve maybe 4 people to the large round cakes that serve 15+, and a bunch of sheet cake sizes in between. The decorations are well done and they always have a good variety in stock, and the prices are very reasonable. I think the quality of cake/ice cream is just as good as coldstones, although the flavors they keep in stock might not be as exotic. If you want a crazy cake/ice cream combo you can always order ahead. read more

We found this place by accident after seeing Oh Yogurt across the street weirdly closed. Now we have been there three or four times and have never left disappointed. There is usually the same guy working there, and he's really nice. The place is clean and the flavors are good. They usually have about 30. No Frills with the toppings, I usually get some form of chocolate with chocolate jimmies in a cup. Quality stuff! read more

Just your typical Hershey's Ice Cream, nothing wrong with it, but nothing to write home about either.

I had the birthday cake and it was delicious. It's kind of a basic ice cream store but I did enjoy all the 5 flavors that I sampled.

All the flavors you want in a classic scoop shop. I got the pumpkin ice cream. It's to die for!

Scoops is great. They have a really extensive selection of flavors. I had a milkshake and it was good. The place itself is a little bare, but you're not there to look at art you're there to get some Scoops! read more

A nice modern place set within the heart of Bloomfield. Very clean, a variety of toppings offerings, and nice staff. Stop in here sometime soon before the weather gets too cold! read more

After a super unfulfilling dinner I felt deserving to have some good ice cream. And this place totally proved its worth. The prices were ridiculous cheap and the flavours available were awesome. Definitely try their rich dark chocolate and the coffee with chocolate bits. I'm not a fan of chocolate but loved how it wasn't too chocolatey but instead just right :) read more

Not bad, just.....basic. They have the basics, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, sprinkles...that kind of thing. They carry Hershey's ice cream, which is pretty good, not the the best but certainly not the worst. The one thing I can say is they have quite a few flavors to choose from. If you like the froyo joints with 45 toppings to choose from, this is probably not your place. If you like a decent bowl of ice cream, possibly with some hot fudge and sprinkles, you'll do fine here. read more

Great little ice cream place. Tons of flavors (spumoni, pumpkin, coffee, to name a few) to choose from. Also available are ice cream sodas and floats, milk shakes, and sundaes (with your choice of toppings - hot fudge sauce, strawberry topping, hot caramel, chocolate syrup, pineapples and crushed peanuts - and your choice of any ice cream). My husband and I split the brownie a la mode sundae with 2 scoops of spumoni ice cream, and hot fudge sauce and strawberry topping. It was really good, and more than enough to split between the two of us. They have a little table outside with 2 chairs and a couple of barstools and a bench inside. The store was bright, and clean. They do accept credit cards (even on our $4.95 bill), just not AMEX. We'll definitely be back again. read more

Delicious!! Great ice cream at a great price! You can't go wrong getting ice cream for 2 for only $5, especially when your cone is filled with hand scooped creamy delicousness!! read more
