Found this place on vacation. It doesn't look like much but the food was great. Definitely worth the stop. There was also a gentleman singing out front.... Super friendly and made the experience even better. read more

We used to love the breakfast burritos at the scoop, got them every year on our last day/headed out of town. This will be our last year, because the food was sub par. read more

Everything was exceptional. The breakfast sandwich cannot be beat. That jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese with sausage and egg....brings the heat and makes the tastebuds happy. The waffle is also amazing. The pumpkin bar was out of this world. The service was on point. The cashier was as pleasant as could be and we kept changing and adding to the order with no issues. It was an adorably decorated and neat little outdoor space that made me want to linger a bit. Overall, great food and a great little place to dine. read more

Excellent bagel! This is without a doubt the best. Live music while we had our breakfast. The selection of food is perfect for anytime. Prices are reasonable and the service was prompt. I would go every morning of my vacation. read more

Ambience is just ok -- roadside seating + radio piped to outdoor speakers. Ice cream is ok -- HB Sunset (coconut + pineapple and strawberry) and peach a little artificial tasting. Waffle cone was stale. Prefer others in the area. read more

So many different options but only one really tasteless vegan ice cream. I don't recommend this to atleast vegans read more

The Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holden Beach, North Carolina

See all

Bottom line: The Scoop does have a pretty surprising breakfast sandwich menu that can hit the spot if you want a quick grab (non-sit down, unless you want to sit out on their deck) for your morning meal. My two breakfast sandwiches were good here, I enjoyed them both. Note they have a Taylor Ham/pork roll sandwich option (I did not try it though). The Deets: We were told that The Scoop was not only a place to get ice cream around Holden Beach, but had a great quick breakfast that was rather tasty as well. Of course the Yelper in me had to investigate so we ended up not going just once but twice for breakfast during our recent stay at the beach. The first visit we hit them before the line started but on Saturday we did encounter a bit of a line to order as this day appears to be one of their busiest. There is no inside seating...just an ordering window and a good amount of outside deck seating. Also of interest is a large chair they have that is a nice photo op to remember your visit to The Scoop. I cannot speak to the ice cream there since both visits occurred during breakfast, but one of my friends got a chocolate milkshake at one of our visits and he said it was delicious. You place your order at the outside window, they take the color/make of your car and then will bring your completed order to your car (nice to be able to enjoy A/C in your car since they do not have an inside area for customer use). My first visit I had "The Big Boy" breakfast sandwich which is choice of two breakfast meats, 2 eggs, choice of cheese, on choice of bagel...I enjoyed this bagel sandwich, it was exactly what was needed and a pretty good bagel for a Southern breakfast stop. My second visit I opted for their Scallion Swiss Spinach & Turkey breakfast sandwich with is scallion cream cheese, turkey, Swiss cheese, grilled spinach (I chose to skip this item on mine) on a bagel. I enjoyed this one a lot and may be my favorite of the two sandwiches I had here. Side note...I did see that they offered a Taylor Ham/pork roll sandwich here which I've only mainly seen in my New Jersey visits. All in all, I enjoyed getting a surprisingly good and quick breakfast here at The Scoop, I see why it is recommended. read more

Our favorite place we ate at during our whole weekend at Holden Beach!! We came here for ice cream Saturday night and it was so good we came back for breakfast the next day! The ice cream was delicious especially the cake batter flavor that had actual cake pieces in it. The breakfast was also delicious! The French toast bagel with the cinnamon butter was 10/10. Their breakfast bagel sandwiches were also amazing! My husband got the Ultimate Big Boy bagel sandwich which was huge and so good. Their breakfast burritos are also delicious. We wished we could've gone again to try their lunch options. Definitely go at least once!!! read more

The Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holden Beach, North Carolina

Stopped in for breakfast after walking the beach. Breakfast was very delicious. I enjoyed a pumpkin spice waffle with bacon. Definitely will be back if in the area. You don't want to miss it! read more

An absolute staple for when I visit Holden Beach! I'll grab a coffee and bagel early in the morning and stop by at the end of the day for a scoop of ice cream. So many flavors of ice cream to chose from and they've all been delicious. read more

how do you claim to have homemade ice cream and not even use real fruit. I got strawberry and it was artificial flavored. Also got two scoops to go and I guess they don't have containers for that so they gave me the equivalent of a scoop for 6 dollars!! read more

The Scoop - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holden Beach, North Carolina

It was ok. Eating outside with no restroom available for the same price as an air conditioner sit down restaurant is not my thing. There were ants everywhere. The food took awhile to come out and they weren't busy. The food was ok. We won't go back. read more

The staff was friendly and quick, but the ice cream was lacking. Our group had a variety of flavors and all were bland. I had scoopy dough and raspberry cheesecake, but they didn't have much flavor. They tasted like they just used vanilla ice cream with very minimal additions (only one small piece of cheesecake in one and the scoopy dough (cookie dough) had maybe two actual pieces of cookie dough). read more

The Scoop aims low and still misses the mark, even for beach food. My $3.75 chili dog featured a smaller-than-average hotdog and bun with about a tablespoon of chili. Convenience store hotdogs are better, higher quality, and cost less. We requested our fries extra crispy but they showed up under cooked to the point where they had a starchy texture. It took about 20 minutes to receive our food. If it took this long I wish they had taken a few minutes longer and at least fully cooked our fries, even if serving them "extra crispy" remained a stretch goal. Appearances aren't deceiving here: The Scoop is a typical beach tourist trap offering a mediocre product at high prices in a run-down setting. read more

We come here every time we're at Holden! On busy weekends the food can take some time to come out, but it is always well worth the wait. The workers always are kind and welcoming, and the food is delicious! We will come multiple days in a row for breakfast AND lunch. Don't forget to take a picture in the big beach chair on the deck! read more

The Scoop - French Toast Bagel with Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread, and a side of Bacon. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holden Beach, North Carolina

Food was great. We had the cheese steak on a bagel and the hot dog special. Dogs topped with chili, cheese and onions. Fries were crisp. The were out of slaw for the dogs, but they threw in an extra order of fries for the inconvenience. Nice touch. Food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. I'll return. read more

New to the area & was so excited when March 1st came around & The Scoop was open for us to try. Although we have not tried everything on the menu, my hubby & I share..lol..so I feel safe in saying EVERYTHING they serve is DELICIOUS!!! Breakfast anytime of day..Great food, good prices..Made to order, Nice service...what more do you need? read more

Best breakfast bagels and burritos around - get the Asiago bagel, the sweet heat, and the hash brown casserole

Haven't had the ice cream yet but the breakfast was solid. Order and wait outside, so go on a good weather day - which won't be difficult. Counter ordering, and they deliver to your table. Fresh bagels are amazing. I got the bacon breakfast burrito and the hash browns inside were perfect! I had a few bites of my son's double chocolate waffle, which was fluffy and loaded with chocolate chips. We'll be back for sure! read more

I got the strawberry cheesecake and the banana pudding ice cream. Both were delicious and the banana pudding one included the actual cookies. And the service was great! read more

The Scoop - Ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holden Beach, North Carolina

A definite hidden gem with so much to offer! Breakfast all day (that has real, fresh made offerings, unlike other places here that use frozen egg patties and premade bacon), generous portions, fresh bagels, good selection of ice cream in what tasted like freshly made waffle cones. We will definitely be back on our next time in HB! read more

This place was a new treat for us. We stopped in for bagels and found out they offered so much more! Of course they have great breakfast items (bagels, sandwiches, etc), but the sandwich offerings, and handheld menu was awesome! We didn't even get to try the ice cream, but the selection looked great. We stopped twice for breakfast which was awesome and we look forward to visiting again to try out the ice cream! read more

Said part of this review is that I have lived on HB for a year and this is my first visit, good part is I'll be back. Stopped in for lunch and got the Club. All sandwiches come on a bagel, my only real choice was an everything, which was good. The only others they had left were sweet, fruity or jalapeno. Excellent sandwich - good portions of meats, cheese and bacon, veggies were fresh and just the right amount of mayo. Service was fast and friendly. Lots more seating than it looks from the outside and the place was very clean and orderly. Can't wait to go back for breakfast, the sandwiches sound amazing. Also the other baked goods looked delicious. read more

The Scoop - Club on a Everything Bagel - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Holden Beach, North Carolina

Food is great! There are so many good options for food, whether you want breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert! The breakfast burritos are amazing, and the lunch is great too. The menu is huge, with burritos, tacos, sandwiches, cheesesteaks, waffles, hot dogs, burgers, pizza bagels, etc. So much to get here, and everything is very good! Definitely check out the Scoop if you are in the Holden Beach area. Great staff as well, super friendly and helpful! read more

Great, quick food and a perfect "beachy" menu. Their service is excellent and orders are taken/served with a smile.

I am not a fan of food post but I have to share this! I owe Olivia at the Scoop a HUGE thank you, she and her team made this happen for us!! The Scoop catered 2 amazing breakfast, a wonderful assortment of sandwiches for lunch (not pictured) coastal cupcakes, banana pudding, a Custom Truck Cake and decorations galore! Every time we saw her face with her arms full of deliciousness we couldn't wait to tear into it!! The Scoop will forever hold a special place in my heart! #holdenbeach #localbusiness #fishersgonecoastal read more

Came here for breakfast this morning with a friend after a trip to the beach. Took approx 30 and 45min respectively to get our orders of a few bagel sandwiches, and looking at other reviews it appears that is not out of the ordinary. We took them to go since we were so hot by the time they came out, and upon getting home I found that our order was wrong (I ordered a bagel sandwich and got a blt somehow). This is all super disappointing but I must say the HB Heat is pretty tasty if you like crazy spicy stuff. read more

French Toast bagel is so so good. We also got a ham and cheese on an Asiago bagel, and a SEC on an everything bagel. Everything was delicious! Cannot wait to come back again! read more

Worst ice cream shop in Holden beach!! Took a long time for them to make our families ice cream. My milk shake & my sons was so bad I threw it away after 3 sips. Wasn't worth the calories or money!! There r 2 much better ice cream shops near them read more

Not exactly homemade. It's made by another company and delivered to them. Still, all-in-all, a decent ice cream shop. Their bagels looked pretty awesome. Didn't get any, but they looked great! read more

Perfectly set right before the bridge to Holden Beach this adorable ice cream shop is a must-stop! When you first walk in the setting is very comfortable,the staff has a warming spirit (if you have small children this is a plus because they are very patient while little ones decide),and the ice cream flavors are extending. Sitting inside and out you will find a place to sit back and relax.The "BIG" chair outside was a personal favorite of ours. read more

The topping to ice cream ratio was off. Good but not otherworldly. It's the go to for my in-laws and does the trick, but I'll continue to check a few of the other options. Maybe do a side by side? read more

If you want ice cream, this is a fantastic destination! For breakfast, you may want to look elsewhere if you're in a hurry. It took 45 minutes for a simple order of coffees and burritos, and when I finally got the order, my coffee was cold! I didn't order and iced coffee! Ice cream is great though!!! And the burritos were good, just slow. read more

Great place for a breakfast sandwich/bagel! They were affordable and yummy- bacon was crispy too which is always a plus!

The Scoop's outdoor decor is adorable. The food wasn't anything too great. It was good, but I've made things at home that taste better. The iced coffee was not good. I was not impressed. The tables were sticky. The prices are very overpriced. Takes a long time to get your food. The seats are very uncomfortable. read more

This spot is a local favorite! We've been in Ocean Isle for ages and there aren't many restaurants there that are good; I would definitely make the trip over to here for the food. Their tater tots were SO yummy, and we also got a burger, cheesesteaks, and breakfast burrito which were also good. They had lots of vegetarian options for that member of our party! We will be back to sample more of their breakfast and dessert menu. Only shortcoming was no bathrooms but they are currently building some so it won't be a problem for long! read more

Best breakfast burritos I have ever had! And the prices are amazing. Great costumer service. They handle COVID very well.

Best food in the area. Super hot and super fresh. We got the chicken burrito and a veggie quesadilla with chicken. Yes, the wait was a little longer but it was WORTH IT. The flavor was so tasty. Bursting with grilled onions and tomatoes and mushrooms fresh off the grill with cilantro and sour cream and salsa. We are definitely going back at next trip out here. Highly recommend! Very friendly and COVID safe with staff fully masked. read more

they were RUDE. i ordered fries and i didn't get any and when i went back to say we didn't get any fries the lady came to the window and yelled "I DIDNT CHARGE YOU FOR FRIES" even though i've told them fries a good 5 times and they somehow didn't get it and i read on the little screen under the cheeseburger that it said fries. the rude lady then printed my receipt and handed it to me very rudely. i don't think it's my fault when i said fries a million times to them and they somehow still didn't get it. and they were very rude and unprofessional and the food was way overpriced. we got 3 things and it was $30 and to not even get fries???? read more
