    My wife LOVES the huge chunks of frozen Nutella in the Hella Nutella. My favorite is the Bourbon salted caramel. Waffle cones are good and are made fresh so the whole shop smells amazing.

    Homemade waffle cones! Fluffernutter will satisfy any peanut butter craving. Bourbon vanilla with sea salt caramel swirl was delicious... Will have to go back to try the other flavors!

    The speculoos (Belgian cookie) is delicious! Plus their compostable bowls are well designed (wide lip) so you can rest assured you won't get ice cream on your cup holding hand.

    Fantastic ice cream. I stick I the basics and get their chocolate. Secret tip: if you get a milkshake, you can ask to get a banana thrown-in. Chocolate + banana is lovely!

    The mint and brownie is quite good. This microcreamery distinguishes itself from others by it's LN2 cooling technique. I think I enjoyed Tin Pot's flavors better, but this is still very good.

    Try the waffles (bowl or cone) – they're made in house fresh! I had the mint & cookies, and it was delicious.

    This is the most delicious and best vanilla ice cream I have ever had. Bourbon vanilla with salted caramel. It is to die for.

    The waffle cones are great, but don't get the chocolate dipped ones if you're not fond of super sweet. Was a bit much for me, and I'm a sugar-hollic to the extream.

    Tried a few of the more "interesting" flavor but ultimately settled on dark chocolate. Creamy and delicious.

    Amazing! Really interesting flavor combos and they all taste great. A little $$$ but worth it for a great treat.

    Micro servings, micro service, micro flavor. Just wait in line at Salt and Straw down the street. Their line may look long but it moves faster that Scoop’s.

    The chocolate-dipped cone is totally worth it. Don't forget to get a couple of napkins.

    The Belgian cookie ice cream is foodgazmic. Be sure to get a waffle bowl or cone.

    Just OK. Tried the Vanilla Bourbon Caramel Swirl and Biscoff flavors. Nothing too unique and the flavors feel too muted and overly sweet. I prefer anything in SF or Tin Pot over this.

    The shop smells dizzyingly sweet when you step into it, but the ice cream surprisingly isn’t too sweet.

    Super confusing and unorganized inside. There's no line and even though there are 8 people behind the counter you can only order from two cashiers...
