UYE Monday Scoop @ Scoop

I seriously pestered Jordan for 2 WEEKS to host this UYE and I am so thankful that he did!
Forget #Flossie nothing stands between me and my ice cream sandwiches! The unendurable humidity also made ice cream seem like the smartest idea
.
There’s not much parking in the area so I decided to be risky (figuring all the HPD were doing emergency prep things) and parked where I shouldn’t have. BUT like half of our little party did the same because well… ICE CREAM SANDWICHES!
There was already a big group of Unilocalers hanging out in the little store so I got plenty of advice on what I should order before settling on a S’more cookie with salted caramel ice cream. YUM!
And after shamelessly trying out Denise D’s macaroon with blueberry cheesecake ice cream I HAD to have one of my own. Luckily I wasn’t the only one swept away on this sugar high and a few other Yeeps also jumped in line for seconds!
Unfortunately we kept this UYE short as everyone had other plans (grocery store, gas station, storm prep type stuff). BUT I think I heard something about a PART TWO UYE happening… Until then I’ll just stalk the events page!

So my best friend decides to throw a UYE and even though I’m lactose intolerant I still came to support my boy! Woop woop! Jordan I’m so proud of you! See Kalihi was THE perfect place, why you was scared? Lol jk!
I came a bit early to make sure I got parking, but gave up and parked illegally… Because being a Kalihi native, everyone does it!!! So might as well park anykine!!!
It was my first time here at Scoop and man how I wish I wasn’t lactose… I would’ve eaten many!!! The workers were very nice and had great customer service.
They had all types of flavors and types of cookies. They even have macaron… But it was only one flavor in different colors. My first impression was that they had unique flavors and they were HUGE sandwiches!!! Like bigger than your fist. Everyone loved it and some even had more than one or two sandwiches.
Great job Jordan! So proud of you!!!

OH FLOSSIE

This was my first UYE hosted by myself and I was so nervous about overlapping with another event, the place not having everything available and having no one interested or even showing up. I never thought of worrying about a weather conflict.
My fear of having an unsuccessful UYE was about to come true when Mother Nature decided to turn against me. I thought the Tropical Storm Flossie was going to postpone my event. But the owner of the place, the Unilocal team and I decided to just push it through; rain or shine, we want ice cream!!!
I am so glad we did it, the outcome was a success. I had support from many of my awesome Unilocalers and met a few new people while reconnecting with some old. The only good thing about Flossie was that the rain kept us all cooped up together in the SCOOP store and it gave everyone a chance to get socialize. We had to squeeze in close or else you had to stand outside in the rain. Thanks again to everyone who came out (
).
I had a great time at my first hosted UYE, The owner and I wouldn’t mind doing a round two in the near future when Mother Nature is in a better mood! Thanks to Allan and the Amazing SCOOP crew for handling us Unilocalers and doing an awesome job serving us!!!
Jennifer C. — thanks for coming extra early and supporting me at my 1^st UYE event!!! Even if you were lactose, thanks for supporting!
Josie C. — Thanks for getting there on time and helping me set up the check-​in. It was a pleasure to have you!!!
Claire F. — Thanks so much for coming out and supporting me at my UYE even while on a diet. Sorry for putting you through this and making you cheat on your diet.
Justin T. — Thank you for coming out even if you are lactose! Hope to see you around more.
Terry K. — I would like to thank you for making it out!!! The Scoop Team loved you!!! Thanks for making time in your busy schedule
Cathy T. — I would really like to thank you for encouraging me and helping me out throughout this whole process, you are an amazing person!
Maka K. –Thank you for your support and bringing family!!! It is always awesome seeing you!!!
Denise D. — It was a pleasure seeing you again and thanks for coming with a friend

No rain, no sleet, no snow, no Flossie prevented me from stopping at. Scoop for Jordan C’s UYE.
Not sure who makes the ice cream — it is flavorful and creamy and portions generous enough to feed two sessions.
The generous portions of ice cream is sandwiched with your choice of cookie or macaron. There are approximately ten selections of flavors and cookies. You pick the flavors. They assemble the cookies,
Definite repeat performance on the rise! Good job Jordan

Alright so this was my first Unilocal type event. I would like to thank Josie C,
you know which Josie you are, you know da cool manang kalihi chick hah
Props to Jordan C. for planning this event especially on my day OFF.
It was you that i was able to finally meet some of you folks.
I was kinda iffy on going as i felt shame and wouldn’t fit in, but thanks to Josie she was able to help me break my comfort zone a bit, although i was constantly saying jokes, some of which were cheesy, and dirty clean, i knew that i would get a hang of being around cool yeeps.
Ever heard of the saying «this island is to small?» most of the time you hear it used negatively but in my case its a POSITIVE one. I like how some way some how it seems that the random people we meet have certain similarities or traits that make it easy for each one of us to understand each other in ways were all you have to do is talk. Like what had happened today.
Although I wasn’t able to enjoy the yummy goodies, cookies, ice cream and all that «SCOOP» a small local business in the heart of Kalihi, (due to my sad sad stomach, lactose issues) I am glad that i enjoyed something better than eating and savoring that dessert goodness. The experience, the people, and the my first memory of my first Unilocal event. :). So one day i could look back and say hey i first met you there.
Thanks again Josie for being my Unilocal buddy! and telling me about this, in addition to the pep talks. In addition Thanks Jordan for planning this event. Twas a successful one.
Looking forward to meeting more of you cool KIDDSS!

Do you know that great things come out of Kalihi!!! No silly, I’m not just talking about Scoop, I’m talking about JordanCee, Jennifer C, Justin T, Josie C, Maka M-​ighty! Haha, sorry Maka, I wanted to make your name rhyme ;)
And the best part is we all have friends from other areas of this great island that complete our awesomeness! Catherine T and the others (sorry I didn’t introduce myself) sigh.
Flossie or no Flossie, rain or shine, thunder or lightning, it had no match against our desire for some phatty ice cream sammich goodness!
We all stood in the little ice cream shop mingling, taking pictures, talking story, or if you’re Justin T, telling dirty clean jokes. Lol. I was able to get the macaroon this time along with strawberry cheesecake ice cream and OMG! So good!
Jordan! So proud of you on your first UYE! It was an honor being a part of it! You totally blew Flossie out of the sky! ;) Big hugs to you!
Ps. I think I need me a personal trainer soon! Like f’real yo! Haha.
