The annual opening of Ukee Scoops is eagerly anticipated & a clear sign the sunny season has arrived. This wonderful ice-cream, gelato & sorbet place sells far more than delicious ice treats, offering a wide range of eats & drinks, including very tasty crepes.

Read moreStopped at Ukee Scoops for breakfast. Wouldn't think of an ice cream shop for breakfast but they have crepes on their menu and whoa man are they ever good. I had the Westcoaster which has smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill and spinach. So good, very fresh and filling. My wife had the ham and cheese which was good as well. The batter for the crepes is amazing, we also shared the Nutella crepe which was just as tasty as the savory ones we had. Highly recommend for breakfast! Would love to try their ice cream on my next...
