    YUM. Came for dessert after dinner. Employees are nice. Prices are reasonable. Samples are offered. Old-timey feel inside.

    Refresher!

    Came in here with my family on a Sunday afternoon and was so surprised at how many flavors they had available! Scooper extraordinaire Hannah was so friendly and let us try as many as we wanted before we finally decided. I ended up trying so many, but deciding on the red velvet it was delicious and the different textures with the real cake and cream cheese frosting. Made it a flavor explosion in my mouth! I opted for a kid size cup, which was still big enough to fill me up and even splurged on a chocolate chip cookie - I love breaking these up into my ice cream. Unfortunately, I don't live in the area or else I would come back here all the time ! Five of us got ice cream and we didn't even have to spend $30

    Tons of flavors!!

    Walked into this great beach inspired, teal painted, ice cream decorated confectionery wonder! The people behind the counter were super nice and allowed me to sample some flavors before I settled on Pumpkin ice cream because it's Christmas in July!! Delicious!! The ice cream is made not far from here so very fresh an and fantastic! Highly recommend!!

    Great spot with great ice cream and some extra treats! Enjoyed in the hot heat and even on 'colder' Florida days

    Cute little ice cream shop in Downtown Fort Myers with a large amount of flavors. This is your classic cup, cone, sundae and shake shop. They had seasonal flavors available including egg nog, peppermint, and pumpkin. Scoops on First carries The Ice Cream Club brand which seems to be popular in this area. The flavors were fun and delicious. The two employees behind the counter were kind, patient and quick. The cost was extremely reasonable at just under $20 for 3 ice creams and toppings. There are a few tables inside the shop to enjoy your treat as well as tables outside. We ate outside where we could enjoy the bustle of the downtown area and the nice weather.

    Our waitress where we had dinner told us your ice cream was the best in Michigan, so we decided to give it a try! Great service with a smile! Great prices that were very fair! The ambiance of the old-fashioned neighborhood ice cream shop was there! Spot On! BRAVO! We will be back every time we are in the Fort Myers downtown area for sure!

    We love this place.  The butterscotch explosion is our family fav.

    We love this place. The butterscotch is our families favorite. We make special trips just to come here when we are staying on the beach.

    Limited amount of seating, only seats about 16 ppl inside but does look like they provide a few outside tables and chairs also! Very nice and clean inside, the ice cream looks delicious and tastes delicious! Service was super friendly and fast!! Definitely stop in and get some good ice cream while visiting downtown

    When you walk in the door you know this place has character and then you look to the left and see an original picture of what memories this old building holds. It was sad seeing the picture of what hurricane Ian did to the street and even the ice cream shop, but I liked the message of "nice try Ian." It was so good to see them in business offering a variety of great ice cream flavors. I personally didn't love my butter pecan choice because it had SO MANY pecans and not enough ice cream but my son ate his vanilla cone up! Such a special place full of history.

    Florida is hot as the gates of hell so I don't think you can wrong with opening an ice cream shop just about anywhere in this state. I was wandering around historic First Street in downtown Ft. Myers after dinner when I started craving a sweet treat. I happened to pass by Scoops and they were just what I was in the mood for. Scoops was founded in 2015 by two friends, Paula Renaud and Lori Large, who were also looking for a sweet after dinner treat but at time there weren't any ice cream shops in the downtown area. They opened Scoops in a space that was a barbershop in the 1800's and the rest is sweet history. Funny enough, the ice cream is made in Boynton Beach near where I live. The company makes 300 flavors so they are able to rotate different ones in. Scoops has freezer cases along one wall and some seating opposite it. There are 52 flavors of ice cream, plus hard packed yogurt and dairy free, 8 flavors of gelato, shakes, and smoothies. They had all of the usual flavors like chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and my favorite chocolate chip mint but the Caramel Caribou caught my eye. It is toffee ice cream with thick caramel weave and mini chocolate covered caramel cups. It was just like eating a candy bar in ice cream form. I ordered my ice cream in a hand dipped chocolate and sprinkle waffle cone. The total for my decadent treat was a very reasonable $6. That's a bargain compared to some of the local places on the east coast. This shop is in a great location in the touristy area of Fort Myers. They can satisfy any sweet tooth.

    We were walking down the strip and decided some ice cream would be perfect. We walked inside and were greeted by a nice gentleman. The place has a cool vibe with lots of options to choose from. I decided to go with more of a fruity flavor but if you're more into unique mixes they have a plethora of those! While deciding I was having trouble picking between 2 of them, the guy gave me a sample and said I could add both if I wanted! I decided to do that and was so happy with my choice. I really enjoyed my experience here and the quality of the sorbet, I will be back as I have been craving another bite! My friend, who got an actual ice cream flavor, really enjoyed her choice and mentioned coming back! PS: all employees were following mask protocol and had hand sanitizer out.

    Super creamy ice cream. Reasonable prices. I truly enjoyed the ice cream and they have a sitting area outside to relax and enjoy your cone.

    Ice cream is always good, lots of flavor options, usually a line, and overpriced for serving size.
