Scoops in Bloomfield

I had the birthday cake and it was delicious. It’s kind of a basic ice cream store but I did enjoy all the 5 flavors that I sampled.

Good ice cream. Better than twisters. Cones are too small for a single.

Not bad, just… basic. They have the basics, hot fudge, caramel, whipped cream, sprinkles… that kind of thing. They carry Hershey’s ice cream, which is pretty good, not the the best but certainly not the worst. The one thing I can say is they have quite a few flavors to choose from. If you like the froyo joints with 45 toppings to choose from, this is probably not your place. If you like a decent bowl of ice cream, possibly with some hot fudge and sprinkles, you’ll do fine here.

I’m not much of an ice cream connoisseur. In fact I rarely eat it. First job was at a Dairy Queen, ruined it for me. That said the Ice Cream at Scoops in Bloomfield was exceptional. It was very rich and creamy the way an ultra-​premium ice cream should be. The sugar cone was crisp and stayed that way until I had finished it.
I only got salted caramel even though that is the trendy flavor of the moment. It was very good with abundant swirls of caramel and whole pieces of chocolate/​caramel candies. I didn’t really taste much of the «salt» though.
All said, I may need to change my opinion on ice cream with this local establishment a short walk away.

Nothing spectacular but not a disappointment. 1 worker during a 9pm rush. He was friendly and running around like crazy filling orders.
No seating to hang out besides 3 stools (I think). Fairly overpriced for being Hershey and perry’s brand ice cream. Sundae was 2 small scoops, tiny bit of fudge, and crushed oreos for $ 4.50.
Compared to Pages Dairy Mart or Antney’s this place would be a 2 star, but if you’re looking for something sweet and don’t mind paying a little too much for what you get, it’s not too bad. Out of convenience, I’m sure I’ll be back. New to this side of the city but see no competition for me to go elsewhere.
As for their website; very confusing. Menu is all jumbled with all their locations mixed within. The sundae I wanted, wasn’t even listed inside the Bloomfield location so I got something else. Could definitely organize and separate the locations menus.

I’ve got to say, this scoop shop sure fills a void! Prior to its inception, Bloomfield was sorely lacking in delicious, open-​late places to grab a cone of your favorite flavor. That said, there are some bugs in the system.
Pro’s:
Close to where you live (if you’re in Bloomfield or Friendship, that is!)
Ice Cream! (it basically sells itself)
Employs local teens
To-​go pints are affordable
Has coffee/​chocolate flavor, dark chocolate flavor, and an awesome praline almond caramel
Gluten free red velvet cake flavor
Has a bathroom & place to sit
Cons:
Scoops are somewhat pricey for basic Hershey’s/Perry’s
Flavors do not include some basic favorites (where’s the mint chocolate chip?)
The price is a bit steep for a single scoop of no-​frills-​came-​out-​of-​a-​tub ice cream
Not the cleanest place
Confusing array of colors/​flavors targeted at kids in unnatural colors — I was a bit put off by the NEON yellow and BRIGHT blue that both look like play-​doh in a tub…
I like that this place is nearby, I will likely go back, but there’s nothing other than its lack of competition that sets it apart. I appreciate that it employs local kids, but I wish there was something interesting (a flavor of the week the kids who work there created, free topping of the week, etc.).

triple scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough on a waffle cone, this place is one of the few that’ll make me break — no shatter my diet and exercise regimen. good ice cream, large selection, affordable prices

One of those local places to get excellent ice cream, which I love. They weren’t re-​inventing the wheel, just great ice cream and good service. I am giving them a 4 instead of a 3 because they have so much variety and were affordable.

Go for Moosetracks and Gold Medal Ribbon.

I love Scoops, no simpler way to say it. My family often went to Scoops on the Boulevard when we lived in Brookline so we were thrilled to find out there is a Scoops in Bloomfield. Same ice cream and friendly customer service. I love the birthday cake flavor with a waffle cone and my husband tries a new flavor every time. This will definitely be our regular ice cream shop now that we live in the east part of Pittsburgh.

It was fine. It’s a small place with only three stools and no tables, so you can’t really sit and enjoy it there.
They have many flavors but it’s just big tubs of Hershey’s and another brand — nothing special. Hardly any toppings.
After having worked in a very similar ice cream shop, I can tell you it’s probably not suuuper sanitary but it looks clean enough.
I might go again.

Nice array of flavors with all the bases covered– they’ve got both frozen yogurt and ice cream, and all the fruity, chocolate-​y, and all the things in between covered. Really generous scoop size here!

After a super unfulfilling dinner I felt deserving to have some good ice cream. And this place totally proved its worth. The prices were ridiculous cheap and the flavours available were awesome. Definitely try their rich dark chocolate and the coffee with chocolate bits. I’m not a fan of chocolate but loved how it wasn’t too chocolatey but instead just right :)

A nice modern place set within the heart of Bloomfield. Very clean, a variety of toppings offerings, and nice staff. Stop in here sometime soon before the weather gets too cold!

All the flavors you want in a classic scoop shop. I got the pumpkin ice cream. It’s to die for!

I stopped by last night to try some of the spumoni ice cream. I mentioned to the guy working there that I’d never had this flavor before, and he gave me a sample to try. I liked it, so I ordered a single scoop of it, and it was quite creamy and delicious. They also have fresh-​made waffle cones for an extra 95 cents, but I decided to be good/​cheap and just get a sugar cone, and it was more than sufficient to satisfy my craving.
I have two minor criticisms. First, the ice cream could have been packed onto the cone a bit more firmly. A couple of times when I was eating the ice cream, it came dangerously close to falling off (note: I’m a biter, not a licker). Second, it was unclear what brand of ice cream I was eating, since there was a Hershey’s ice cream decal on the freezer, but I noticed an invoice for Perry’s ice cream. I’m pretty sure most of the ice cream is Perry’s, though, since they’re listed as a vendor on the Perry’s website.

I’m not a huge dessert or ice cream lover, but on that rare occasion where I’m craving something, but I don’t know what, I know that I can go here and choose something that will be to my liking. So many flavors! I am certain anyone could go here and find something to tantalize their taste buds.
The girls working were super nice and friendly, prices beyond reasonable, and the flavors that we tried were great (loved me the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream).
I highly recommend this new little neighborhood gem! With so many options and flavors, you won’t be disappointed.

So happy to have a new ice cream place in the neighborhood! Because if we are being honest, if I want ice cream at nine on a Saturday I’m not trying to deal with Oakland, or a place that seems like it is staffed by middle schoolers even though I’m pretty sure that hasn’t been legal for a century.
The flavor selection here is quite extensive. You get a ton of ice cream in a double and the waffle cones are delicious. I got bittersweet sinphony (coffee) and spimoni. The spimoni was the best I’ve ever had. Price is cheaper than the competition too. There’s seating and on a nice night you could just walk across to the friendship parklet too.
Will definitely be back, people should definitely support their neighborhood places.

Bloomfield has restaurants-​a-​plenty, but until recently, only had a fro-​yo place available to soothe an ailing sweet tooth. Now we have Scoops! They have a really wide selection of flavors, from the darkest, richest fudge to the lightest sherbet, and many in between! They’re clean and have a small indoor counter space and a handy table outside too. Price is on par for portion, and the waffle cones smell heavenly if you catch them making them fresh!
All in all, a welcomed addition to the neighborhood and worth the walk up liberty!

Be still my beating heart.
I’m taking an epic walk through Pittsburgh (10 miles through six different neighborhoods), and as I’m near the end of my journey, tired, hungry, maybe even a little delirious, I stumble across a mirage, a figment of my imagination, something far, far too good to be true. I see a brand-​new beautiful awning with the words «Scoops in Bloomfield». What could it be? I stagger in and I’m overwhelmed by the vision of tub after tub of ice cream – every imaginable color and flavor.
Scoops is yet another new thing in my fabulous neighborhood of Bloomfield. Further proof, along with the new Saturday market, that Bloomfield is the coolest neighborhood in Pittsburgh. Why go anywhere else?
Tonight, they were accepting only cash. They indicated that this is just a temporary problem. So bring your money, honey, and get you some good ice cream!
