Scoops Ice Cream Parlor — Local services in Monterey

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Worth the Wait!

I have been counting down the days for this ice cream shop to open, and let me tell you—it was worth every second! From the moment you walk in, the place just radiates happiness. The smell of freshly made waffle cones hits you first, and then you see the stunning display of flavors that look almost too good to eat.

Every scoop is perfection. The texture is unbelievably creamy, the flavors are rich and balanced, and you can taste the quality in every bite. You can tell they use real ingredients—nothing artificial here. I tried the salted caramel swirl and pistachio, and I honestly think it’s the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. The balance of sweet, salty, and buttery notes was unreal.

The staff is friendly and genuinely excited to share their creations, which makes the whole experience even better. The shop itself is bright, clean, and full of energy—perfect for a family treat, date night, or just a little “me time.”

I’m officially obsessed. This isn’t just ice cream—it’s an experience. The long wait is over, and this place truly lives up to the hype. If you haven’t been yet,...

Serves Marianne's Ice Cream. Popular ice cream in the Monterey Peninsula. My favorites are 1020, Caramel ice cream with chocolate swirl and chocolate sandwich cookies. And the 2AM Truffle (Scoops will have this flavor soon), Vanilla Ice cream with chocolate and blackberry swirl. Great customer service, very inviting and if you have any questions at all they can answer it. They do allow you to try a sample, the lavender was very good. You can actually taste the lavender but wasn't too over powering.

Next time I will be trying maybe the cotton candy cloud...

just went with my family — it was awesome! The place just opened, and it already feels like it’s been around forever (in a good way). The people working there were super nice and actually seemed happy to be there, which made it even better.

They had tons of flavors — on top, and it was seriously the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The waffle cone was warm and crunchy too, not stale like some other places.

The shop looks really cool inside — If you like ice cream (and who doesn’t?), you’ve got to check this place out. Definitely a 5/5...
