Scoop

Great spot for ice cream, and it’s a drive thru!!! Seems to be open all year round unlike the nearby «homemade ice cream» spot in Alfred.

When I go out for ice cream, I usually want a really great cone of soft serve. And it’s almost always vanilla-​chocolate twist in a waffle cone. You would be surprised how much fake-​tasting soft serve I’ve had. Never at The Scoop! When I complimented the manager on their soft serve, she mentioned that’s because they’re good at keeping their machines cleaned, which can be a 3-​hour process! (Apparently, some ice cream stands are neglectful of doing this enough, which is usually the reason for an off flavor.) I’m so appreciative of this, as the taste is very consistent and milk-​based. When I get a craving, I always head here. (Can’t say much about anything else they offer, I’m such a soft serve fiend!)

This place has cool sundays, and shakes for a hot summer day. Went here 4^th of July weekend while in the area for a race. If I am back in the area this is a must stop for me.
You also can get drinks and smokes here too. Yes, an ice-​cream joint that has a drive thru and cigarettes for sale. I suspect a bad idea that they have teen workers un-​supervised.
Still a great place.
