★★★★★ 5.0 Aj Swaim · Oct 2023

It’s was our family’s first time at main scoop and we were very impressed! I had my personal favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream on a waffle cone that had a chocolate edge. They had a great selection of icecream along with flavored popcorn (which I will be using for Christmas gifts!) lollipops, sodas and you can also purchase icecream cookies, and cakes. We really loved that they have games you can play as a family such as guess who, uno, connect 4, battleship, hungry hungry hippo and many more! Located on the same block as Fillipoes pizza, this ice cream shop is a must stop for your family.

My friend and I love this place! It’s a great place for desserts! The scooper, Alice, is one of the reasons I enjoy this place so much. She’s friendly, she smiles and she’s so welcoming. She makes this place amazing and she represents this place so well! I appreciate everything that she does!

I always enjoy a trip tp the Main Scoop for premium. Ice cream. Today, I returned to my roots and had a single dip of rhe decadent chocolate in a cake cone. Yum ! The service was fast and friendly. I did t get a craft soda today because I miss the nostalgia brands, and haven't warmed up to the new options.

I love the Main Scoop. Today I stopped in for ice cream and a craft soda...my usual MO. For the ice cream, I went with the "the blue one" again, which unexpectedly is cookiendough with oreo in a waffle cone.. I poverty their house made waffle cones!. On the craft soda side, I again went a selection from my former neighbors in Mukilteo, WA ... the Kickapoo Joy Juice. Think Mountain Dew.mixed with Squirt... plenty of caffeine... Cheers!

I went to Main Scoop maybe 3 times last summer and everyone’s favorite scooper Mabry remembered by favorite flavor and went out of her way to let me know when it would be re-stocked. 6 stars out of 5. Practically a hero.
