Great ice cream flavors and quality, collaborating with several other local shops. Friendly staff, that is very inclusive and provides work opportunities to those with disabilities. Clean interior, but I wish there was some background music so you don't sit in complete silence when eating the ice cream inside. read more

It's not just ice cream. It is WAY more than that. Give it a try. You will find the most enthusiastic employees, many of whom are differently abled, in a welcoming environment inclusive for ALL. It's hard not to serve up sweet treats without a big smile and the smiles are everywhere here. Oh, and the ice cream. The flavors change, the pride is in the product, and the love comes through clearly. It's not about the workforce as much as it is about normalizing opportunity for everyone. The staff always makes me feel welcomed, the place is immaculately kept, and the conversation flows naturally. The concept alone makes you feel good and the experience will sharpen those feelings. Eat the ice cream. You'll thank yourself. read more

After years of knowing about The Golden Scoop, and having sampled their ice cream, I FINALLY made it to the brick and mortar storefront. It was an unseasonably warm October afternoon so I joined a friend and we took our four year olds out for some post pre-k ice cream. Now, the first thing to note here is that The Golden Scoop has an insanely great mission to employ folks with disabilities while providing a great product to the public. When you walk in the door you'll be greeted with the friendliest employees, and I'm not just saying that, I was really blown away by the kindness that is evident here. You do need to give the folks working some grace as many do have developmental disabilities, but they do a fantastic job and are super friendly. The ice cream is also top notch. Like, you might think oh since they have this great mission they just have ice cream shipped to their store. Not true at all. Their ice cream is homemade and delicious. To top it all off this location is bright, cheery, and has some games to play while you enjoy your ice cream. Overall it was a huge hit with us and I can't wait to return. read more

Non dairy was horrible had to return it was melted soft and old And tasted funny even the sales person was like agh!!! Only had vanilla and chocolate Another person got the home run but barely a scoop we understand and have two family members but need to up your service !! read more

We ate our ice cream so quickly I forgot to get a photo of my Cookies & Cream scoop with waffle cone and delicious chocolate shake! The shake was a yummy drinkable shake, not overly thick and very easy to drink! And the cookies and cream ice cream was delicious. We highly reccomend this place as not only do you get a lovely coffee, ice cream, or pastry but you also get to to support such a worthy place of purpose! They create jobs for individuals with developmental disabilities called Super Scoopers! So next time you're feeling like a treat think of The Golden Scoop, located in the former golden arches where you will be supporting so much more! read more

I'd venture to say that The Golden Scoop is the best ice cream spot in KC! Their ice cream is homemade with new flavors every few months. Not only are the flavors unique, but I just love that whatever the flavor, there are chunks of goodness -- whether it be lots of chocolate chips, cookies, candy, etc. Beyond the taste, the service is great. The Golden Scoop employs adults with disabilities, with job tasks for everyone. I love seeing the same folks every time I go, and chatting with them as well as the kind volunteers that also work there. It's a fun and friendly spot that just feels like home! read more

Our favorite ice cream stop! They have a variety of flavors and always introduce new creations. Their ice cream is super creamy and full of flavor. The even better part? They are a business for a cause and hire some really awesome people who are sure to make you smile because they are grateful to have a job. read more

First time trying the Golden Scoop on 103rd and Mastin in Overland Park. It's a non profit coffee, ice cream, pie, bread etc shop that employees adults with disabilities. tried the ice cream which is made in house. Fantastic taste! Coffee was really tasty. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with smiles and excitement. The store was very clean and also offered other items to buy. Definitely going to add it to my favorite places list. You can also drive through!! read more

This place made my day. FPO and I were picking up our finished masterpieces at Ceramic Cafe and decided to walk around the shopping complex. We happened across The Golden Scoop. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The place was cheerfully decorated with pictures and artwork. It was clean and had a very friendly vibe to it. The Golden Scoop is a non-profit ice cream and coffee place that employs and benefits differently abled people. Never having been there before we needed a lot of advice. Hank was awesome. He explained about the different ice cream flavors (they make their own in sight), baked goods, and coffees. They have some branded t-shirts and ball caps and "Hawaiian" shirts that look like they would be right at home on Andy Reid. We got two small cups for $4.95 each and t-shirt. FPO got the mint chocolate chip (Hank sold the flavor when he said there were big chocolate chunks). I got Jill's Chocolate Freak (again a Hank recommendation with chocolate ice cream, chocolate cookie pieces - they bake their own, and chocolate chips). We learned every month one of their Super Scooper Employees gets to create the flavor of the month. April was Jill's month and the Chocolate Freak was her creation. She knocked it out of the park. If you want to try Jill's Chocolate Freak, you need to get there before May starts. The ice cream is very creamy and the servings come with the little wooden spoons inside just like the little ice creams cups from small kid times. We are absolutely going back. Soon. I want to try the Strawberry ice cream, which I'm told has strawberry jam from a local farm that also employs the all abled community. That's a summer flavor. Come fall they're switching to more holiday themed flavors. read more

This review is for the chocolate chip cookie, and the chocolate chip cookie alone: Hole. Lee. Cow. Chocolate chip cookies are probably my favorite food, and I think this was one of the best I've had in my whole life! For context, this past weekend I was at a wedding in Kansas City that had desserts (ice cream and cookies) catered from The Golden Scoop. At weddings, I usually don't end up eating much dessert because I'm VERY serious about dancing. But this wedding had great dessert! I ate just a couple bites of wedding cake flavored ice cream, which was also delicious. But I can tell that cookie is what I'm going to be dreaming of! The taste and texture and mix of flavors were simply perfect! read more

I happened upon this place by accident, now it's on my radar. It is a non-profit benefitting the disabled and it puts a smile on your face just being around these fine folks. I've come in watched some of them singing along while a lady plays a Yamaha Keyboard. Besides putting money into the special needs community, they give us so much more with their great attitudes and helpful willingness, I've never left without a smile on my face. This establishment is good for the soui.....and the ice cream can't be beat! read more

What an incredible concept!! Giving special kids a place to learn and contribute. And YUM! The Homerun was so good. Premium ice cream with a premium purpose. I will definitely be back again and again. read more

How can someone give this place less than five stars? They do so much good for the community. Not only do they serve hand crafted ice cream in individual containers but they also sell dog treats and clothing. You are greeted with a friendly smile and a nice welcoming statement. The staff does their darndest to make sure you have a great experience. Out of all the local businesses this is the one that Kansas City should rally behind because of all the good that they do for the special needs community. read more

We came here while we were waiting for the used book store to evaluate our offerings. The ice cream was very good quality- smooth with great flavor. But the concept is amazing. The young uniquely abled man who helped us was guided by a sweet manager, but he was friend and engaging. Please check this place out. read more

The service was friendly and professional. The cozy location comes complete with a few family games to play at the tables. The incredible ice cream made on site can be served in a waffle cone or a cup. Their non profit mission serves our community by providing jobs for all abilities. read more

I've never been to a local business that has more meaning than this!! I love the difference they're making!! I saw how clean and effective everyone was in the back making the lids for these ice cream cups and I got to say I'm highly impressed!! It took us a minute to read the signs and realized what an amazing cause this ice cream shop has! We didn't know this was a nonprofit local business when we stumbled across it. As we walk in everything looked very neat, simple, and clean!! I needed to use the bathroom after ordering couple containers of ice cream, && let me tell you I've never been to a cleaner business facility, ever!! The ice cream we picked was strawberry and cookie dough, they were both delicious (not overly sweet) the portions were perfect. All the staff were very helpful and friendly, we were there for approximately 15 mins yet they checked in on us 3 different times!! I highly highly recommend this the golden scoop, you won't be disappointed!! read more

What can I say that hasn't already been said about The Golden Scoop? Amber has created such a welcoming and family-oriented business. Very fun decor in the shop, super clean, and delicious ice cream. My family will be making this a regular outing. Thank you for the great time! read more

We stopped in a few days ago and I am so glad we did!!! This is a non-profit handchurned ice cream and coffee shop that is just getting started. Definitely worth checking out the mission of this place. The line was out the door the entire time we were there. I asked one of the owners how it was going and she said they had to close for a few hours earlier in the day because they ran out of product. What a great problem to have!!! We were able to sample a few different flavors including probably the best strawberry flavored ice cream I've ever eaten. So excited for this business to get on it's feet completely. They are going to be adding several more flavors, shakes, malts, coffee drinks, and several baked goods to the menu. I absolutely loved the vibe in here. Whether they are in line or serving up the goodness everyone is smiling through their masks. Do yourself a favor and make this place your next coffee, ice cream, or good deed outing!! read more

This is a must visit ice cream shop! The shot is so spacious, fresh and clean. They have so many flavors of ice cream to offer. And all the ice creams are pre-packed in a cute container. The price is reasonable and the portion is good. The most important thing is the ice cream tastes so fresh and the stuffings are real When I opened the lid, I was like yeah, normal chocolate chips like usual amount of mint chocolate chip ice cream would offer. Once I start to scoop, there are tons of chocolate beans! So delicious and satisfying! Except ice cream, they also have coffee tea and pastries, they also sell T shirts, accessories I support themselves. They are non- profit business and they help the disabled to be able to connect to people, to work and support themselves. A must visit place! read more

The Golden Scoop serves amazing ice cream, baked goods and coffee! I especially love their new spring coffee menu with syrups from Pink House Alchemy. So yummy!!

You will love every minute! read more

Love the concept behind this ice cream/coffee shop and will need to come back in a few weeks as I went close to their opening and the line was out the door/they were running low on product. This actually turned out to be a good thing because I tried the Rum cake ice cream and it was so good...it had such a richness to the flavor. My husband had the chocolate and it was very decadent. We also grabbed a brownie and it was very dense but tender. My sweet tooth was definitely satisfied. The staff were well supported and it had a great vibe! read more
