    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    Went to The Golden Scoop after lunch for a dessert! The Ice Cream shop is spacious, and has a great atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. They have a variety of ice cream flavors sold in containers. They also have baked goods, and coffee! We had the Cookies and Creams, and Cookie Dough Ice Cream and they were delicious! This place is a must try!

    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.

    Yum!!!!! Thank you for the ice cream date!! They made it a unique ordering experience. :) What A beautiful mission to employ adults that might have some disabilities but also many abilities that so many people lack. Such as excessive friendliness and willingness to help. Not to mention excellence!

    The staff are awesome and the ice cream is sooo good! Such an amazing concept! We held a volunteer appreciation event here, they served over 50 of our rock star volunteers and it was such a great experience. Five stars!

    Great local shop with a strong mission. They have fresh smoothies, cookies, and of course ice cream! Plenty of seating both at bistro tables and the big yellow table in the back. We had Charlie's chocolate ice cream, it was smooth and delicious.

    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!! The employees are so kind and helpful and I love seeing them so involved in serving everyone. The product and service are amazing! Stop by if you're ever in the KC area. You will love every minute!

    Betty Rae's ice cream ingredients and the way that they produce their ice cream is completely out…read moreof this world. It is delicious and I can say that because I know ice cream. What I will say, though that brings a specific and unique quality to Betty Rae's in the Ribermarket is the staff. I've witnessed time and time after the staff being kind to all of the other employees in one another obviously the clientele and their children and the dogs are very patient and understanding when there's a line honestly I can't say enough. It's just a place you must go to if you're a busy in Kansas City promise you won't be disappointed. If anything at all I might bring you back.

    Betty Rae's has such unique and delicious ice cream options. Even though it was a freezing day in…read moreKansas City, we couldn't miss this stop and we were glad we didn't. This day they had both ice cream cases full of different option because of their seasonal changeover. The staff member was so patient and friendly with her joy to have us try all the flavors we were curious about. I settled upon a scoop (albeit large) of a unique sweet vanilla type ice cream of fresh blueberries and strawberries with a yellow cake mixed in -- sooo good. My husband got a brownie sundae and loved his, too. I must say that you HAVE to get the waffle bowl because it was the best we've ever had...it's a dessert on its own. Wish we had one of these in our state!
