Scoops, the Newest Ice Cream Spot Downtown


Ice cream is here to stay on 311 N 8th St.

Owner of Gotham Bar, Mike Bretta decided he had enough with the Batman-themed bar down below and wanted to tackle the street-level spot. 

Scoops opened their third and newest location in the spot that formerly housed 402 Creamery. Rather than being made locally, Scoops ice cream is made in Michigan. 

Bretta recently bought Topper Popper Popcorn. Now, in addition to ice cream, those who prefer salty treats can indulge as well. 

In their Haymarket location, Scoops has a popcorn kiosk full of Topper Popper Popcorn. In addition to the popcorn and ice cream, you can get fresh fudge, shaved ice, and Dole Whip. 

Scoops is open every day from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m.
