Our story
Made small, made happy.
Scoop is a tiny ice cream shop with a big sweet tooth. Here's how we got here — and where we're going next.
- 2019
One machine, one dream
It started with a second-hand ice cream machine in our founder Maya's kitchen. Friends were the taste-testers, and the freezer was always full of 'experiments' — some brilliant, some best forgotten.
- 2021
Our little shop opens
We found a tiny corner unit on Sugar Lane, painted it every pastel we could find and opened the doors with eight flavours. By the end of the first summer, the queue went round the block.
- 2024
Sweets, shakes & sundaes
We added a wall of pick 'n' mix, thick shakes and sundaes stacked sky-high — all still made in-house, every single morning.
Our promise
Sweet, but honest
Churned daily
Every batch is made fresh each morning, in small amounts.
Real ingredients
Local milk and cream, real fruit, no artificial colours.
Something for everyone
Vegan sorbets and dairy-free options, every day.
