During our day trip to Martha’s Vineyard, we looked for an ice cream shop in Edgartown. They had a few to choose from, and we tried Scoop Shack. I heard it is a Mom and Pop ice cream shop, making homemade ice cream in small batches in their shop.
They had more than just ice creams, but candies, toys, and other souvenirs. It was a nice size shop, but didn’t offer any table or chair, which was a bummer.
They had a cute posters on the wall that said “Frozen Green Tea with mint and Honey” and “Frozen Root Beer.” But when I asked about those flavors, the staff told us they don’t make them any more… So, don’t trust the flavors on the side wall… The very colorful menu on the center wall is current, and unless they sold out of some flavors, they are the ones that they actually offer.
I ended up going with Brown Sugar Banana ($5.50/single scoop). It is one of their most popular flavor, and I can see the reason why! It was so creamy, almost mushy than creamy, with mashed banana in there (I think). Great banana flavor with subtle sweetness of brown sugar, which gave warmth to this flavor. Had chunks of chocolate chips which was great too.
My hubby went with Butterbeer ($5.50/single scoop). It was not quite like the ones from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal Studios (I had Frozen Butterbeer at Three Broomsticks, Butterbeer Potted Cream at Leakey Cauldron, and Butterbeer Fudge from Sugarplum’s), which was more like butterscotch. This one at Scoop Shack had similar flavor to Root Beer, but much more enjoyable and tastier than Root Beer! I really enjoyed it.
The staffs were not overly friendly but nice enough. The only thing was the flavor menu on the wall is so nicely done, yet the signs next to the ice cream were all just simply handwritten. I say it would look more enticing if they could spend a few minutes to make those signs nicer. But that’s just me. Regardless, we did enjoy their ice cream, and we were lucky enough to find a bench nearby. Great spot for a very flavorful ice cream!
