Corner Scoop — Restaurant in Four Corners States

Update 9/24/23: We've been back a couple of times this month and tried the pastries we love the lemon muffin, the poppy seed muffin and the cheese danish so far. The big chocolate chip cookies are delicious as well. We tried the turkey melt 2 more times and found out it apparently comes with lettuce, tomato and onion which was not on it the first time, but I prefer it without those veggies so have learned to ask for it without them. The philly was messy but good. The chorizo and egg burrito was flavorful and so good. The biscuits and gravy platter had good flavor but could have used a little more gravy. Tried another frappe mocha & salted caramel custom mix and it was not strong on the flavors but it was creamy, sweet and tasty. The staff for the most part have been very friendly only once when my husband went alone did he say the lady that helped, who he only saw that time, seemed to be in a bad mood. We get it they're people, it happens. So far the majority of our experiences have been good and we love this new spot to stop by when we go to or thru Sonoita!

OG Review Sept 2023: Stopped in today for the first time, with my husband. The name is perfect it's a cute little corner building and a nice place to get a scoop... And some food!

We initially ordered the BLT, a Turkey Melt and a root beer float to split. We sat on the patio where there were 6 stone circle tables with benches decorated with succulents in colorful buckets. The weather was perfect for us to sit outside and despite a few unavoidable flies it was pleasant.

The sandwiches were both toasted to perfection. My husband said they couldn't have made the BLT any better and that the ingredients were all fresh and the presentation was clean.

I enjoyed the turkey melt it was cheesy and warm and delicious. Very comforting and filling. Both sandwiches came with a bag of chips and a little cup of potato salad. The potato salad was tangy and yummy without being too strong on the vinegar, as some can be. Everything tasted fresh.

The ice cream is Blue Bell and the root beer was Barqs so it wasn't fancy but it was good and familiar. (That's my favorite root beer so I was happy).

Afterwards we decided to order a frap for the road. I got the s'mores frap and my husband got a scoop of chocolate peanut butter overload in a cup. The scoop was good with lots of peanut butter cups in it. The frap wasn't strong on the coffee but was smooth, sweet and creamy.

The staff were friendly every step of the way and seemed to enjoy being there. The prices are reasonable, especially for the area.

We will definitely be back the next time...

The Corner Scoop is a little gem of a place. My mother-in-law and I are from AL and just visited the area for a week. We were passing through the tiny town of Sonoita, looking for a place to have a bite to eat. This was the only place we found serving breakfast. It's minimal inside, with only a few tables. But there is a large covered outdoor seating area on the side with plenty of tables and a few more out front.

They have an extensive menu considering their size. They serve Blue Bell ice cream, which anyone from Texas will proudly tell you is THE BEST! Their coffee menu could easily compete with Starbucks. I saw at least 40 flavored syrup bottles.

Now for the food. My mother-in-law had biscuits and gravy. The lady working that day (whom I presumed to be the owner) was very nice and worked quickly to get our orders out. But I have to say she was a little stingy with the gravy. Other than that, I was told it was very tasty and the biscuits were light and fluffy. I had the breakfast burrito. It was loaded with eggs, sausage, hash browns, cheese, and I ordered green chile, but you can also get red if you wish. I assumed it would be a chile sauce, however it turned out to be just the chiles. I enjoyed every bite, though it was a bit dry for my taste. You could say that was probably my fault because I was simply too lazy to go back inside to ask for some salsa.

So I said all of that to say this: If you are ever in Tucson going to see the historic town of Tombstone or Bisbee, take the scenic route through Sonoita and grab a bite to eat at the Corner Scoop. I think you will be happy you did. Next time I'm there I will definitely...

Restaurant Review: The Corner Scoop, Sonoita, AZ

Stopped in for lunch at The Corner Scoop in Sonoita, Arizona, and had a great experience overall. While their main business is ice cream, they also offer breakfast and lunch options, making it a nice spot to grab a meal in addition to a sweet treat.

I ordered the Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and satisfying. The quality of the food really stood out and exceeded my expectations for a place primarily known for ice cream.

The shop itself is a cute little spot with a charming atmosphere, and the staff was extremely friendly—genuinely welcoming and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable.

My only complaint was the charge for a cup of water. At $0.80, it felt unnecessary, especially when many places provide water as a courtesy. It’s a small detail, but one that left me a bit disappointed.

Overall, though, The Corner Scoop is a great place to stop in for a meal or a treat. If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend it—just be aware of the...
