Pop Scoops & Dough — A Whimsical Wonderland of Sweet Delights** If happiness had a flavor, it would taste like Pops, Scoops & Dough. This veteran-owned dessert haven is more than a shop—it’s a jubilant escape where sugar-coated dreams come alive. From the moment you step inside, the vibrant commissioned art installations, like the ice cream bench and the giant lollipop, set the tone for an experience dripping with joy. The centerpiece? A towering, sweet-eating giraffe that seems to wink at visitors, as if to say, “Indulge guilt-free here!”
The Treats: A Symphony of Sweetness Mini Donuts: These bite-sized wonders are crispy on the outside, pillowy-soft inside, and dusted with creative toppings like cinnamon sugar, vanilla glaze, or seasonal sprinkles. Perfect for sharing (or not!). Premium Ice Cream: Handcrafted with locally sourced ingredients, flavors range from classic vanilla (award-winning creamy perfection) to whimsical creations like RaspberrySherbet or Sugar-Free ButterPecan—each scoop a testament to quality. Handmade Marshmallow Fluff Topped Hot Chocolate: A winter favorite, this decadent drink is crowned with cloud-like marshmallow fluff, toasted to golden perfection. Paired with their Chocolate Cookies and Cream- DonutsIt's a match made in dessert heaven. Specialty Kettle Corn: A savory-sweet balance that crackles with freshness, ideal for balancing the sugar rush.
The Ambiance: Pure Sunshine in Every Corner The store’s design is a feast for the eyes. The giant donut invites photo ops, while the pastel-colored walls adorned with sunshine-themed art (think sunray prints and playful popcorn motifs) nod to the owners’ family's exceptional artistic talent Even the seating—like the ice cream bench crafted from a repurposed bench—blends nostalgia with modern charm. It’s a space where kids giggle, adults unwind, and everyone leaves with a sprinkle-covered smile.
Why It Stands Out As a veteran-owned establishment, Pop Scoops & Dough adds a heartwarming touch. Weekly visitors (like myself!) are greeted by name, and seasonal surprises—like exotic maple bacon donuts in fall or peppermint hot cocoa in winter—keep the menu exciting.
Final Bite Pop, Scoops & Dough isn’t just a dessert shop—it’s a community treasure. Whether you’re savoring soft serve under the giraffe’s watchful eye or grabbing a bag of kettle corn for the road, this place radiates warmth and creativity. A must-visit for anyone craving a dose of sweetness, both literal and metaphorical. 🌟

Read moreI LOVE THIS PLACE and this area desperately needed something like this!! I would often crave donuts or want something sweet but I don’t want cookies from insomnia cookies and I don’t want to drive all the way to duck donuts. So once I found out this place was in/near College Park, I knew I would be a regular. I ordered mini donuts and popcorns and I am so obsessed I had to keep myself from coming back the next day. The donuts are the perfect size that you can get a bunch of little servings for yourself to try or share. The popcorn is def underrated and SO good. I got the White House popcorn and safe to say I am no longer buying popcorns from the grocery store. The shop itself is so stinking cute, I would love to one day see little tables for sitting. The service was great! The shop is family-owned and they are so sweet and kind. I alike many customers who came in at the same time as me received a warm welcome and it makes me so happy to support such a...
