| - We went to Scoops for the first time the other night with a couple of friends after having dinner down the street. I wasn't terribly impressed especially compared to the local ice cream king in my opinion, Mitchell's
First: Odd hours. Open at 5 and closing at 9pm? A lot of people don't get done with dinner until 10 or so - closing at 11 would be much better especially in the summer and especially especially on weekends!
Scoops has about 20 flavors including vegan and sorbet options. I got vanilla, others with us tried the coffee chunk, mint chip, and salted caramel. Of these, the winner seemed to be salted caramel. The rest were fine but just underwhelming.
Now you might say, 'why the heck did you just get vanilla??' Well, I'd say if you can't do vanilla, something's wrong. It was just ok. Nothing horrible, but nothing that special either. The ice cream is very rich, reminded me of custard rather than ice cream which is fine because many people love that.
The decor is somewhat simple, but I liked the cute idea with the swings in the front of the windows. It's clean and with nice bathrooms so that's a plus.
I'd stop again if in the mood for ice cream and in the area, but wouldn't make a special trip to Tremont for it.
