I stopped at Magic Scoop with my toddler son for ice cream and a coffee for me and was extremely pleased with the experience. Their homemade ice cream was amazing. My son ate every drop of his mango sorbet, and I loved the double stuff cookies and cream that I had. It was creamy, chocolately, and had the perfect level of sweetness- you can taste the quality and craft in their ice cream. I'm a sucker for coffee and ice cream together. Typically, the coffee you buy at an ice cream shop... well, it isn't the best. Magic Scoop, though? I bought a latte, and it was delicious. Strong coffee taste, smoothly steamed milk, A+. The service was friendly and efficient, and the counter staff were happy to provide ice cream samples and answer questions. The shop is a little on the pricier side (a little under $5 for a single scoop cup and $5.75 for a regular latte), but the quality is there. When I'm in Sulphur Springs again, I will definitely stop by! read more

Discovered this cute gem through a quick yelp search when I had a craving for ice cream. I absolutely love this place for many reasons; it's cute and located in a nice park area of downtown and most importantly offers so many unique ice cream flavors. I'm a sucker for limited edition flavors so of course I had to try the "Steal My Sunshine" flavor special for the solar eclipse happening tomorrow. This consisted of a toasted black sesame with a cream cheese swirl which was very unique and tasty! With unique flavors like this I assume they make their own ice cream which is another huge plus. My overall experience was great! They were super busy and the staff did a great job at tending to everyone. This shop really does share the magic! read more

For the record, this ice cream is absolutely out of sight. If only I'd had the space in my tummy after our dinner at a neighboring restaurant, I would've ordered a scoop of everything. Their selection was so unique and delicious sounding, from the beginning of the two-dozen'ish-tub freezer to end. Daaaaaayum, glad I don't live in sulphur springs, because, between the absolutely enchanting small town plaza location and the super fun shop packed with all kinds of interesting this-and-thats to browse while indulging in their dangerously satisfying dish, I'd be walking (or waddling) through their door every night! read more

The Magic Scoop General Store - It's more than just an ice cream shop! - Candy Stores Near Me - Sulphur Springs, Texas

After our early dinner, I wanted to have a scoop of homemade strawberry ice cream. The staff today were very nice, engaging and pleasant. We browsed around the store and found some incense (lemongrass and eucalyptus) both as a mosquito repellent. We always love coming over here because their ice creams are delicious and their sugar cones are the best! Just the perfect combination! The place is super clean and nicely decorated! read more

Ice cream is good. Service is good. Verity of flavors. Cool little place. Would recommend. read more

The Magic Scoop is one of those local gems that you always hope to find, when driving through a small town. We took the 12 minute detour off the 30, and our family of 6 were so happy with the decision. The single scoop portion is enough to share, and the flavors were not the typical. Four words, Double Chocolate Cookies n' Cream. There was also a huge retail portion of the store. My son was so excited to find $1 Jibbitz. read more

What a wonderful little jewel in the heart of Sulphur Springs TEXAS! The coffees, teas, ice cream and "some" vintage candies are worth a stop in. Very friendly staff and what feels like a stroll back in time. read more

We have been here several times before. It is excellent. This time we had one scoop of the blueberry cheese cake. It was excellent. Everything we have had here is excellent. They have a store that is built together with it and it has all kinds of interesting widgets for the kids. Save room for some of their fantastic ice cream, you won't regret it! read more

What a gem. Sir play cards, buy art, chat with Laura the owner, or of course eat ice cream :) Relaxed upper and lower level seating, beautiful art work all around you and a bunch of table games to play makes this a cute and endearing business. The Tesla chargers are a short walk away in case you are driving through. My favorite two scoops are the mango and the coconut. I think the coconut is a seasonal flavor. Regardless there are a bunch of homemade flavors to choose from. Also importantly the music playing in background is the perfect volume allowing you to have an actual conversation. Enjoy read more

Delicious ice cream! Never disappoints...and the gift shop has fun whimsical gifts and treats. The second floor seating area is a delight!

I can't say enough nice things about this little gem. We love to go eat some great ice cream flavors or even enjoy a coffee drink. Don't forget the great Ambiance of having some old fashion ice cream and shopping at the same location. Customer service is top-notch, even if you are unsure of what to order, they are happy to help you out with your choices. I highly recommend stopping in and trying them out. read more

We came here with my family after a basketball tournament. The ice cream was amazing. They had all types of unique flavors to try out and the line got served in a timely manner. The workers we nice and help us pick out the right treat for us. The store itself was pretty cool to shop around in. We will definitely be back! read more

The chai flavored ice cream is delicious and they are soooooo nice, you can also try before you buy!

I would of gave this place a 5 star but let me tell you why I didn't. As a business owner of a clothing company of ALL sizes and each clothing particle is the same price mind you, I never want to leave someone out. I don't like the fact that the promotion sale they always run "buy 3 get one pint free" & there are no dairy free options. I've been coming here a couple of years & when friends & family visit from Dallas and other states I bring them here. ITS THE BEST ICE CREAM EVER. I've been all over the world and this ice cream is def top 3. So I usually pay $27 for 3 pints get one free (4) . This year I looked at my statements spent about for $476 I always go for ice cream & lavender honey latte so good! I asked the sweet gal to ask her manager if I could do the special but didn't see a dairy free option pint if I could get one from the bar & they declined. I have people coming over for the holiday who can't have dairy and I thought that's too bad that as a regular they couldn't make that one exception or actually have the decency to say "why yes actually I should have a dairy free option in the special. So instead of walking out with 8 pints this time ( bc the holiday) I walked out with 0 bc I couldn't believe it. The little girl was shook as well I couldn't tell she was embarrassed to tell me the answer. All the kids that work there are so friendly and I always give them a nice cash tip. It's unfortunate hopefully soon they add a dairy free option to their special. read more

Pretty great ice cream, very accessible location as well! It has a great charm to it, and it also sells a bunch of stuff other than sweets. I'm pretty sure I've seen a sword in there, at one point. A solid 8.5/10 read more

The Magic Scoop and General Store is a gem in downtown Sulphur Springs, Texas. Their ice cream is homemade and is top-shelf. The have lots of toys, trinkets, and things that one would have found in Perry's, Duke and Ayers, and other dime stores of old. It is really fun browsing the store. I also had the opportunity to attend a birthday party at The Magic Scoop and General Store. There is an upstairs loft area that has booths, tables, and kids games. Perfect for parties and rented by the hour. I highly recommend The Magic Scoop and General Store. read more

They have the most delicious ice cream I have ever tasted! Will definitely be coming back to get my hands on more!

Magical. Fun. Friendly. Everything you want from a vintage ice cream parlor and more!

The ice cream is freshly made and honestly beats out ice cream makers like blue bell! 10/10 would recommend.

I've cream is good, coffee is not their forté. I think a lot of family must leave reviews! This place is very over priced. A 20oz(that was actually 17 when I measured it) of matcha cost $8+?! They didn't mix or dissolve the matcha properly, shouldn't have chunks in the bottom. It took two people to make it, and still it was undrinkable. Yes they offered to remake it again but we'd wasted so much time already we were running late. Overall I s a good "touristy" spot to seek high priced ice cream but not for a regular place to stop a few times a week. read more

The Magic Scoop General Store - Amazing ice cream - Candy Stores Near Me - Sulphur Springs, Texas

Saw their sign on hwy 30 on our drive from Waco Tx to Conway Arkansas and it looked like a place we should stop. We were not disappointed! Their homemade ice cream was wonderful! It is made right on the premises. The shop is so cute with all kinds of candies from my childhood and cute gift items. The girls said the store used to be a J C Penny store but it looked like a 5 and dime to me. If you are traveling that way definitely suggest you stop for a treat! Also across the street in the square is a see through toilet. You need to see it to believe it. read more

Everything from the friendliness of the staff, to all the cool and kitschy items for sale in the store, to the truly unreal ice cream flavors, this place is amazing! We came on our way back to Dallas from Texarkana and we're seriously considering traveling all the way to Sulphur Springs periodically just to have that amazing ice cream. The Magic Scoop is everything that you'd expect from a store that claims "The Best Ice Cream In Texas". Except that for a change, I dare anyone to dispute that claim! read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The staff was young but very friendly, but the ice cream is something special. It's all made at the store and the flavors are out of this world. The ambience is pretty cool set inside a general store like setting. So glad I happen to come across it on the internet or we would have seriously missed out read more

They has such a good, good array of ice cream made in-house!!! Really fresh ingredients and homemade fashions that tickle my taste buds happy and leave me full and satisfied. First time was during the Vintage Brick Street Market in the summer of 2017. I had their banana pudding ice cream and it was SPOT. ON!!! Second time was the indulgent Dr. Pepper vanilla ice cream float that was rich! Third time was a scoop of Peanut Butter/Jelly ice cream each for me and my GF. So rich and tasty!!! 4th time was a small bowl of banana pudding ice cream for my birthday on October 23! 5th time, today, was a delectable bowl-for-two of blueberry cobbler with a single scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was so rich and so good!!! Seasonal spring and summer of 2018 was the newly released Fresh Honeydew Melon flavor. OH MY GOSH!!! It brings me back to the heyday of the nearby Sabine Valley Ice Cream of Greenville!!! So sweet, chunky, and refreshing!!! read more

This ice cream is the real deal. The servings are TX sized so be prepared to enjoy a big scoop! I ordered a double scoop of mint choc chip and double stuff cookies and cream. Being the mint chip snob that I am (the flavor has to be just right and the chocolate has to melt and taste like chocolate, not crunchy dark plastic bits) this definitely passed the test! read more

Today, we stopped at The Magic Scoop in Sulphur Springs after lunch. There's no way you can cannot be happy after visiting this place! It's a classic ice cream shop that is a miss-mosh of 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Ice cream cones, sundaes, malts, classic candies, soda pop in bottles, and even Connect Four and Rock'em Sock'em Robots at the tables. All ice cream made in house. AND it's good. Great atmosphere. read more

Yes! We had the double espresso, which had a good strong coffee flavor like I like. Sampled the fresh honeydew which was amazing too. Salty caramel was smooth and rich. Cute store, crowded with lots of tchotchkes for purchase. Fun games for customers to play upstairs. A delightful family stop! read more

I love this place! Colorful and fun and the ice cream is amazing. Located near the square downtown Sulphur Springs.

This place is amazing. The owner Laura is so sweet and friendly and her husband is a magician with ice cream. He makes the best flavors and I will probably cry then the coconut ice cream goes out of season. read more
