New ice cream shop debuts in Lafayette, catching locals off guard
Scoop Ice Cream Opens in Lafayette
Scoop Ice Cream, a new, homegrown, family-owned business, has officially opened its doors at 63 Lafayette Circle. The ice cream shop has been making waves in the community with its unique approach to hard-serve ice cream and a business model that allows customers to mix and match flavors[1].
The shop's unexpected grand opening came after several successful popups, where Scoop Ice Cream tested its concept and built an eager audience[1]. The ice cream is sourced from artisans around the Bay Area, setting it apart from other hard-serve ice cream shops like Yogurt Shack that serve ice cream from different brands[1].
Initial flavor offerings include Mexican Chocolate, Mint Chip, Young Coconut, Mango, Ube, and more. Popular combinations among customers include s’mores and cashew-based cookie dough, with mango also being a hit among kids[1].
Scoop Ice Cream prides itself on its positive atmosphere and friendly service, with a family emphasis that is evident throughout the store[1]. The shop's location, while still temporary, has plans to establish permanence, including selling branded merchandise[1].
