    This spot is an absolute gem. I stopped in and treated myself to three scoops, and every flavor was its own experience. 1. Toro with Lemon KitKat - Truly standout. The creamy toro base paired with real pieces of lemon KitKat is unexpected in the best way. Bright, smooth, and memorable. 2. Nutella - A rich, decadent twist on classic chocolate. Silky, indulgent, and everything you want from a chocolate-forward scoop. 3. Bianco Bread - The dark horse of the trio. The addition of Grape-Nuts gives it this nostalgic crunch and texture that works shockingly well. If you're someone who loves layers and dimension in your ice cream, this one is a must. They offer so many flavors that it's impossible not to find a new favorite each visit. Service is warm and welcoming, and the shop itself is tucked away in Chinatown--exactly the kind of place you're excited to introduce people to. A definite bookmark-worthy stop and a perfect example of why exploring small spots pays off.

    This is a very small ice cream shop located in the heart of Highland Park. They dont have a private lot, so street parking or find residential parking. For street parking, there are parking meters that will take coins or card. You can also text a number to pay from your phone. They do not have tables or chairs inside the shop. They had two long benches along the interior walls. They have some modern art displayed throughout the shop. The staff working were extremely nice and allowed us to sample the flavors. They also mentioned to me that their flavors change so it never stays the same. I was looking for just vanilla, but they didnt have it. The texture of the ice cream is almost similar to gelato and sorbet. Cute shop, and they all you to order the smallest (kid) scoop size as an adult! I'd return to get more if im in the area.

    Delicious fun and only starbucks

    Different scoops, star bucks for the win, loved the daily ice cream. Lines went fast and right by the express.

    Delicious ice cream and sorbet created in the shop! I visited this little ice cream shop on a Sunday evening with two others. It was the first time here for the three of us. We stumbled upon it after a visiting Donut Friend (next door). It's a simple shop with minimalistic decor and two benches for seating along one wall. The ice cream freezers displayed 18 creative and very unique flavors of ice cream and sorbet, three that were dairy free. We sampled several flavors, all of which were amazing in flavor, consistency, and texture. I ended up getting a small cup of the Lemon Kiwi Sorbet. It was sweet with a touch of tart and lite. Loved the kiwi seeds! The others chose the dairy options. Service was super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The guy who assisted us was able to answer our questions regarding how the ice cream was made, what the ingredients were, and what flavors paired well with each other. We appreciated his relaxed and no pressure demeanor. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the ice cream. I would definitely visit again! * Metered street parking and public city pay lots we're readily available. .

    LA is not short of amazing ice cream~ every time I get the "itch" for sweetness, I get thrust into another adventure of finding the next best dopamine rush. Scoops achieved this by not only the flavor of the dessert, but by the warmth we felt from Rudey (I apologize if I spelled your name wrong)! He was the only worker here at the time and welcomed my partner and I with such a bright spirit that we couldn't help but smile! It made the ice cream taste THAT much better! Atmosphere: 4/5 The simplicity of the store allows for you to focus on the flavors offered there. There wasn't any fancy decor, but you know that will not take away from the gustatory experience. Service: 5/5!! Rudey greeted us and really showed us genuine hospitality. He took his time explaining the flavors and did not rush us into selecting a scoop. His lighthearted energy was the perfect complement to the mellow evening my partner and I were having. Presentation & flavor: 5/5 We opted for the oreo cheesecake and forgot the second scoop flavor, but anyways... YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH ANYTHING HERE! They have an assortment of unique flavors such as Genmaicha and horchata oreo, and they cycle through flavors as well, so you'll always be enticed by new selections when you return. The scoops were absolutely delicious, light, and creamy. . The cones aren't housemade, but you can select a sugar cone or cake cone, classics that will stir your nostalgia for childhood Pricing: 5/5!!!!!!! The small size is $4, as pictured. They really pack it and give you a lot for your dollar which is RARE in LA. I love the value here. Parking: 5/5 Public lot street parking and residential parking nearby. You won't have to worry! You don't have to worry about the congestion, as this is Highland Park, and it's not nearly as congested as other hipster areas of LA.

    Always an ice cream flavor adventure. The staff is so patient whenever I bring someone and we want to taste EVERYTHING! It so cute inside too. I love the scoop mobile soooo much.

    Such a cute neighborhood ice cream shop. Stop in because of a local's recommendation. Very glad I did it was so good. Definitely worth stopping in. The ice cream is tasty and has a variety of tasty flavors. The service is great. The place is small and clean but has some benches to sit on or you can just take stroll through the neighborhood there are plenty of shops. Such a great and welcoming neighborhood.

    Brown bread and blueberry lavender. Some of my faves!

    Scoops is my ultimate favorite ice-cream shop in Los Angeles. RIP to the Heliotrope location, where I initially discovered this gem of a place that stole my heart. (I'm not too much of a fan of the China Town one b/c they give you a skimpy scoop instead of a scoop full of love like they do here.) Located on the infamous York strip, so you can find easily as you're taking a walk to sight-see, eat, drink, and/or be merry. Please stop in and try their unique flavors that are changed on the daily, people!!! (Yes, a few vegan options are available.) Make sure to try the Brown Bread flavor that is the only one that remains loyal and always available. I love you, don't ever leave me Scoops! Love, Your obsessive girlfriend KLT

While we were looking at the website beforehand, she spotted McConnell's Fine Ice Creams and immediately locked onto it. So the moment we arrived, we went searching for it. When she saw the case full of flavors, she lit up. McConnell's has a great selection, and she loved that you can get your ice cream in a cone, a cup, or her personal favorite; a cup with a cone on top. She chose a small cup of Sprinkle Cake with a sugar cone, and she was over the moon. The team working there was incredibly kind and patient with her, which made the experience even better. She took one bite and said the ice cream was "wicked good." She's officially a fan. McConnell's made her day, and that alone makes it worth the stop.

The passion fruit was refreshing, with a bright, fruity flavor that wasn't too sweet. The Earl Grey is my favorite.

Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

They have so many locations and only wish they had more. The closest to me is about 20mins away but it's worth the drive every time. I love this location especially. Always such friendly staff and never have to wait in a long line. Basically, if you're a newbie, you go in and ALWAYS as for the "seasonal flavors" for tasting. They give you tasters on silver spoons and you drop it down this hole when you're done. It's literally their culture to give you a taste of everything on their seasonal menu so don't skip out on this experience. It's the best way to try their ice cream. FUN FACT: they also have 1-2 flavors that are considered "last chance" flavors which means they are about to run out so get it before it's gone. Each month I go in to try another tasty flavor and it never disappoints but I am sometimes that girl who tries the new stuff but ends up getting her usual order (chocolate brownie) and am always happy. Just the smell of sugar cone alone when you walk in gets you hooked. The atmosphere is just so welcoming. Don't be intimidated by the many flavors to choose from because there are a lot. I like to get their double scoop in a waffle cone, but they also have awesome split scoop options for those more adventurous and want to try multiple flavors in one scoop. Saves you for when you're keeping your sugar levels down. There are usually always places to sit inside or outside so you can enjoy your goodies right away. They even have cool swag if you become a huge fan like me. If you like a little savory and sweetness in your ice cream this is the place to be.
