For starters, it's ice cream…read more But it's way, way more than that. This is a small business that is giving every equal opportunity to as many who need one. Each time I have been to the Golden Scoop, I have gotten top-notch service with a smile and pride in their product, but mostly, the eagerness in just being on the team. The staff scoops ice cream and serves coffee drinks with the happiest of faces. They are the absolute best! Yeah, yeah, what about the ice cream? Artisanal flavors made on site, ranging from the mundane (think mint chocolate chip - good but yawn) to the creative. I am a sucker for the Salted Caramel Crunch, a subtle blend of caramel without the syrupy ribbon having to run through it. This past visit had my lovely wife getting a large scoop of what was titled 'Home Run', which was described as being 'very peanut buttery'. And they weren't kidding: vanilla with chunks of Snickers and Butterfinger made for a heavenly flavor combo. Love the creativity and execution of that product Neither one of our scoops had a long life span as we gobbled/slurped them down quick-quick. There is plenty of room in their dining area for you to enjoy your ice cream or coffee as well as a couple of picnic-style tables right out front (with umbrellas). Parking is super easy, and there's even a drive-through, which is a nice touch. The ice cream is great, the space is great, and Golden Scoop's proud staff makes this spot a must destination.

Popped in on a cold Saturday afternoon after dropping my daughter off for a birthday party. There…read morewere several coffee shops around but having been to another Golden Scoop I knew this is where I wanted to warm up and enjoy the energy while waiting. Being good still I didn't sample the ice cream. I was super boring with my order of black coffee. Hey it's nearly Feb and I'm still no sugar no junk!! That's a win in itself. Enough about me. This place or the other Golden Scoop not only serves up gold in a cup it feeds your sole. In our current state of humanity all around all that drama ends at this door. I LOVE THAT!!! Super blessed to have this opportunity to be served with great enthusiasm and passion in every encounter here. Im not sure it's an every Saturday thing but live music by Anna Ray was my cherry on top of my Saturday.... I was a day off of a great pun. She played her keyboard while I enjoyed my book and coffee. I got to stay to see her reward of hot cocoa. It was very well earned and glad to see her tip jar appearing full. She played several easily recognizable hits and classics. Her parents gave me a flyer and okay it being online so check her out!!! Let's go yelpers we can get her followers up a few notches! @annaraymusic Instagram. Thanks to Golden Scoop for another awesome experience.

That smoked bacon wrapped meatloaf Sammie was just to die for! I don't even really LIKE meatloaf…read morebut my husband MADE me try some and I practically hijacked his sandwich! Wings were massive! More like chicken legs! The crinkle fries were cooked nicely. The Mac N Cheese Corn was exactly that, very literal take on the side dish. House BBQ sauces were delish and paired nicely with the local brews we were inhaling. Super nice knowledgeable ladies at the Norseman Brewery location! Great lunch menu and smoked meats!

The original KB's Smokehouse is located in Tecumseh, Kansas. They have a food truck that travels…read morebetween Lawrence and Topeka. This KB's Smokehouse is located inside the Norsemen Brewing Company located in North Topeka at 830 N. Kansas Ave. The food is brought into the Norsemen Brewing Company 5 days a week, Tuesday through Saturday. I had the smoked bacon-wrapped meatloaf sandwich and a side of macaroni & cheese. My friends had a pulled pork sandwich with sides of baked beans and french fries. The sandwiches are served with a butter hamburger bun. Everything was good and I would go back in the future, next time I am in North Topeka. The meatloaf sandwich was $9. The pulled pork sandwich was $8 and the sides are $3. Other sandwiches include brisket. KB's Smokehouse is located on the far east side of the building past the big bar if you enter fro Kansas Avenue. You purchase your feed, then get your beverages from the Norsemen Brewing Company and dine there. KB's Smokehouse employees bring you the food. It was difficult to order the day we dined there. KB's Smokehouse did not have a menu, so we all had to gather around the young man who explained what sandwiches and sides were available for purchase that day. As a result the young man had to repeat himself 4 times. When we received our food, there were some errors in the order, but we worked them out easily. My only complaint is that we were told the price of the sandwich, but we were not told that the choice of side was an extra charge. It would have been nice to know that every side is in addition to the price of your sandwich. I recommend to KB's Smokehouse that they purchase a large white or black board that they can display the food that is available that day.

If only I could rate 0 stars. Went there and got a small, they charged us $9.06. There was no syrup…read moreand it was $9. When we got there, the girl was on FaceTime and didn't greet us and made a pretty rough snowcone. Really disappointing.

I've tried this place 3 times to give it a chance, but it is truly awful…read more One time, there was barely any syrup in my shaved ice at all. So, I paid extra for more syrup next time thinking it would help. Instead, they filled a cup with syrup and put a tiny scoop of ice on top. I thought it was a full cup when I walked away, but I took one bite and there was nothing left but syrup. Not good! Run! To top it off, their staff consists of a bunch of chatting teens who seem irritated to have to do anything.

Best food truck in KC!…read more I first learned about the Pretzelly truck through social media and after trying it during the Fourth of July celebrations last year, I was eager to try it again this year. Which I did! This time I got the cinnamon sugar pretzel with frosting. The owner is super sweet. Highly recommend checking them out, they post weekly schedules (dates and locations) on their IG, but do know they slightly increased prices earlier this year.

The service was outstanding. The pretzel was delicious! The drinks were amazing! This is such a…read morecute truck! I loved the whole vibe. I went to a friends house this week and she had the pretzelly truck there for an event. Would highly recommend!

Expect long line for ice cream…read more The wait was a solid 20+ minutes. The selection of ice cream is crazy. They do let you sample if you're indecisive. I ordered the strawberry cheesecake and it lived up to the description. Tasted exactly like it in ice cream form. Price was affordable. Nice spot to go for dessert.

Just happened to drive by and decided we were hungry lol. We ordered pulled pork, burnt ends,…read morecheesy corn, and beans. The Caroline was a hit with my partner, and we both loved the cheesy corn. It managed to have that spicy flavor without being hot on the palette which we both appreciated. The beans were another story. They were a congealed mess. "Been sitting at the bottom of the pot all weekend" kinda mess. Burnt tasting and suuuuper spicy. I did enjoy the burnt end flavor, but again, they tasted like they had been siting all weekend, super dry and sad. There was a table outside that offered napkins, forks, and bbq sauce. I wanted to try the bbq sauce but they were in these upside down containers that looked again, like they hadn't seen any love in quite a while. The forks were covered in dirt and the whole area was just, a little scary in the sanitary department if I'm being honest.

She looked at me like I'm crazy & said (very haughtily) "we've never had sour cream donuts". Selection pitiful.
