I recently visited this superb place on a hot Monday night and was immediately impressed by what I saw. From the outside the shop casts a quaint town look that causes you to feel compelled to enter. Once you walk into the door, your gaze is drawn to the various unique furnishings and decorations that fill the shop. From the hand drawn menu board to the soft lighting to the modern shaped stools at the window, everything emits an air of newness and yet also a sense of homely welcome. The staff and patrons alike treat you warmly, greeting you with a smile and showing the friendliness that the shop desires to bring. The youthful employees expertly handle all inquiries and do everything to make your visit enjoyable.
While I feel that the prices of certain things are higher than they should be, I must say that the cost is well worth the time spent. You can go to Dairy Queen and get a milkshake for less, but can you also find an atmosphere that is anywhere near equal to this place? I'd venture to say not. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent at the Downtown Scoop and hope to find an opportunity to visit it again. If you are questioning visiting it next time around, why wait? Happiness is just...
Read moreThe Downtown Scoop is a small ice cream shop in Souderton. The ice cream is made locally and every flavor (they let you try all the flavors) taste delicious. Their sundaes are unique as well. My favorite is the Vermonter; salted Carmel ice cream with bacon (yes bacon on ice cream, who knew) with REAL molasses (after all it is the "Vermonter"). It is so good. They will also make items to order depending on the request (they will even make a root beer float!). Their milk shakes are so good! They also have locally blended coffee which is good as well.
The atmosphere is warm and charming. Because it is small there are tables on the sidewalk where people meet and talk while enjoying their selection. My favorite spot is the table next to the tree that is encircled with Christmas lights.
The staff is friendly and always seem to have a smile on their faces. Many times you can find the owner behind the counter scooping up ice cream and talking to the customers as they walk by.
My wife and I enjoy going to "The Scoop" and have made it one of our "way points" as we walk around town. We highly recommend it to everyone who...
Read moreI had Downtown Scoop's mobile trailer come to my company's office for an outdoor company event and it was a huge success! We had a vendor cancel on us 24 hours before the event, so I frantically called Downtown Scoop to see if they could be there the next day. Angie and Kevin were incredibly understanding, flexible, and worked with me to get something secured for the event. They are such kind and genuine people to work with. During the event, I was very impressed with the entire set up. The trailer is adorable and so nicely put together that Kevin was set up in no time to start serving. The ice cream was delicious and you could tell it was fresh. They had 6 flavors available for our employees, which was plenty. If you are looking to book for an event, I highly recommend. Great people, and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be calling Downtown Scoop for...
