★★★★★ 5.0 Charisse Avoletta · Dec 2025

This is such a hidden gem! Took my 14 year old and 9 year old and they absolutely loved it. We had Dubai chocolate, pistachio, a bubble waffle with Ube, a strawberry matcha and a delish hot chocolate. The owners are so nice and friendly. They let us taste test many flavors. We are definitely coming back and spreading the word to our family and friends. Scoop Theory is unique and didn’t disappoint!! Charisse

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 sam si · Feb 2026

Scoop Theory felt a bit overrated to me — or maybe winter just isn’t the best time to judge an ice cream spot. The place itself is nice, clean, and the staff are friendly, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the ice cream didn’t live up to the hype. It was too sugary for my taste and lacked that authentic, rich flavor you hope for when trying a specialty shop. Honestly, it was one of my least favorite ice creams I’ve had in the last few years. It also felt a bit pricey — around $10 for two small scoops didn’t feel justified based on the quality. I do hope they refine the flavors a bit because the space and service have a lot of potential. Maybe I’ll give it another try in a different season.

Fantastic homemade ice cream. We have been a few times, and enjoyed it so much that we got my daughter's birthday cake from them as well. They did a great job, adapting to our requests for fun funky flavors for a kid's themed party. Can't wait to come back, and will likely use for future cakes as well.

We had such a nice time celebrating my daughter’s 4th birthday! The staff here are very welcoming and hospitable. The best and most unique ice cream in town. Must try!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Ariel Warren · Jan 2026

This place has some of the best flavors of cream. If u have an egg allergy, most of their products are egg free, so it won't be an issue. I tried multiple flavors but ended up getting a sundae. I'll be back
