    Raspberry lime sorbet
    Krista U.

    One of my favorite spots for a sweet treat hidden within the neighborhood. I appreciate that there is a rotating menu, I usually get a sorbet flavor or some sort. Staff is usually friendly and you are allowed samples. If you check in on yelp, you can get a 10% discount!

    Strawberry guava sorbet and peach guava Italian soda
    Tasha L.

    I really enjoyed the strawberry guava sorbet and the peach guava Italian soda. My husband ordered the salted caramel iced cream. The low rating is because the scoop wasn't rinsed after getting my strawberry guava and was then used to scoop the caramel. And those flavors don't exactly mix well. My husband also found a long black hair in his iced cream.

    I only go to ice cream shops that sell their homemade ice cream, rather than buying it from a local dealer. Scoop takes it to another level, with ice cream made onsite every day. After reading that, I knew we had to check it out. It did not disappoint. The fact that it was fresh took it to another level. I feel like even if they weren't good at making ice cream, the freshness would shine through, and it would still be good. Thankfully, they know what there doing and it shows in their quality. Our first time there I ordered the cheese platter ice cream, thinking that it would be a cheese ice cream base. After I had the ice cream in hand, my wife asked the Scoop employee what was in the cheese platter. She said it was an apricot ice cream base with other stuff mixed in. "Oh no! I just ordered apricot ice cream." It was fine. Fortunately, I also ordered a second excellent flavor to accompany my apricot. Our next time back I asked for samples of each ice cream in my bowl, to confirm that they were flavors I liked. "Chocolate ice cream? I'll sample it first to confirm. Thanks." This is the best ice cream shop in Spokane.

    Dole whip swirl!
    Tia M.

    Yum!! Seriously! My friend reposted a post from the scoop talking about Dole Whip going away... I couldn't resist. Being new to Spokane (again) I had to go get some!!! I got the swirl and it was soooo good! Their confetti waffle cones are to die for. Not too sweet and actually have a bit of a chew which is so good instead of the typical crunchy crisp shell! We also got chocolate fruit punch all of which were very good! Cute little south hill location it wasn't overly packed. Service was good! Street parking. I wish they weren't going to take the dole whip away I could eat that everyday! Lol

    Great location and lovely outdoor seating area. Nice post-dinner spot to hang out with your friends/family. The ice cream selection is pretty good and they have fruit flavored vegan soft serve in pineapple and strawberry flavors.

    Thanks yelp for putting this spot on my map! Passion sorbet, pineapple soft serve, banoffee with almonds
    Mike P.

    My girlfriend said I had to write a review for this place after we ate it. She was so impressed, and I was too. I haven't been here for a few years and am ashamed I drove to downtown to get ice cream all this time. The new item that wasn't here before was the dole whip soft serve, which is an easy pleaser and refreshing on a hot day. Their homemade confetti waffle cones were a huge hit too and it seemed like everyone had one in their hands. A must try flavor if you love banana is banoffee (banana, cream, and toffee) with almonds. It was amazing and I'm a sucker for banana flavors. Some other favorites were the passionberry sorbet, coffee, and peach crumble. So don't make the mistake I made, if you're in the south hill, come support your local neighbor ice cream spot! Only $3 for a kid scoop! Thanks Yelp for reminding me of this awesome place!

I had the sampler which is right up my alley, getting to try a bite of everything. Enjoyed 4/5 of the flavors! Really cute interior, convenient location to downtown activity. Time from entering the restaurant to food on the table was an hour, seems a little crazy for a waffle + topping situation. I think I'd almost prefer this as order at the counter and stream line the service time given waffles are casual. Inside was really loud even though it wasn't packed. My latte listed on menu for $6 was $7.50 and mimosa listed at $11 was $14... not sure if we missed something there? Was hungry pretty soon after, sampler really isn't enough for a meal. Would I go again? Sure! Overall, a fun treat.

There is space to sit and enjoy your food. And there are some neat shops to check out nearby. Highly recommend!

The quality of ingredients tasted really fresh and thoughtful, and they have a surprisingly wide variety of nutritious options. I don't have a chance to try it, but their selection of savory entree plates were very impressive (see my photos pleaseeee), and they also serve delicious soup as well. But the highlight was their baked goods, 100% gluten free at a very reasonable price for the portion and quality. This place is inside Saranac Commons, very pretty and is a good place to slow down for lunch or coffee. Staff were kind, attentive, and happy to answer questions about the menu. Definitely a place I'd come back to whenever I'm in Spokane.

We told the server it tasted burnt & old so she offered to make a fresh pot. It was just as bad, when she asked we said it was still really yucky and she said that a lot of people don't care for it. I ordered the tamale waffle. The beef was great, eggs were a bit overcooked but no biggie, the waffle was really hard and dry. It needs some sort of crema sauce or something. It wasn't horrible by any stretch but it wasn't great either. My mom got the veggie breakfast burrito and she liked the veggies though it was bland, felt like it could have had more sour cream & cheese. It was massive and came with a side. The added 16% service fee is some real BS. It says on the receipt that it's split between the server & the kitchen staff. Call me old fashioned but I thought it was on the restaurant to pay their staff a living wage. At $18 a breakfast plate & $4 for drip coffee you should be able to pay your staff. And then we're supposed to tip on top of that? Nope.
