The Scoop Sloop

The scoop sloop is a little ice cream counter with a quaint gift shop in Aurora, NC. It’s very close to the fossil Museum and you can walk there. Nice selection of choices for a small ice cream counter. We love key lime and coconut and to our delight both flavors were available! The service was fast and friendly and the prices are very reasonable! Stop in if you’re in Aurora! We highly recommend this place for a sweet treat :)

We took 2 of our grands great nephew and sister to the fossil museum and dig. Before we left we visited this ice-cream shop/gift shop and it definitely did not disappoint. The ice-cream was delicious and you can find anything you need for yourself or a friend. Thank you for your hospitality!!

Our trips to shark tooth mine wouldn’t be complete without stopping into Blue Crab Boutique for ice cream and delicious coffee. The shop is beautiful — full of incredible work from so many talented local artists. We found lots of great gifts and brought quite a few home (-: Crabby Bev, the owner, is anything but crabby — she’s warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about supporting the community and curating such a beautiful space. On top of all that, the ice cream is heavenly. Blue Crab Boutique is a wonderful mix of art, community, and tasty treats. We can’t recommend it enough.

Stopped in while visiting the fossil museum next door. Cool little shop, local artist have some beautiful work in there. Plus they sell ICE CREAM! We got the chocolate, mint chocolate chip, and the apple pie ice cream. We will be back when we are in town next time. Don't sleep on the apple pie, it was amazing, my new favorite.

The Scoop Sloop is located inside the Blue Crab Boutique, and is a wonderful local small business! Lots of great gifts and art, and the ice cream is soooooo good! Service is excellent!
