Nancy is a wonderful coffee maker. What a kind gentle soul. Make sure you stop by going to or from Mankato.. So worth it.

Stumbled across this place on a ride along the Sakatah Singing Hills bike trail. It is my kind of shop. A) I love ice cream. B) I love biking (they do rentals). C) I love kayaking (rent those also). D) I love ice cream. It was clear upon entering that the owners were hands on. Super friendly folks with small town service and small town prices. Had just finished a fairly lengthy ride so I treated myself to a very generous 3-scoop medium waffle cone and a hot dog with mustard and kraut (don’t judge). Suffice it to say both were amazing! Looking forward to my next ride and next visit to Scoops!

Be sure to stop! We bopped in from the bike trail. Rode from Kamp Dels (Waterville) which was about 45 minutes one way at a leisurely pace. Very tasty ice cream! Looks like they have much more to offer including bicycle and kayak rentals, and even live bands! We will definitely be back!

Staying for a girls weekend down here and the owner, Joe, was down dishing up ice cream for us. He was so welcoming and kind! The ice cream hit the spot for all of us, and the atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing. There's a little play area for kiddos, bike and kayak rentals, and a stage for when they have live music. Cutest ice cream place I've been to!

Wonderful shop that offers great ice cream flavors in a very cute vintage environment. It's located next to the Singing Hills bike trail, as well as close proximity to a few lakes. They rent both bikes and kayaks for visitors. Nice seating areas outside as well as some indoor seating. The owners are very engaging and open kind people. A great destination spot for a date or families and to take advantage of the trails.

So fun to see an old fashioned ice cream shop. They have entertainment outside in the court yard some weekends. Bikes and some life jackets you can rent. Play area, with some outdoor games like Cornhole.

What a great little town ice cream shop! Big selection of all the great fun flavors They also have bike rental available. Friendly kind staff!! Very fun experience highly recommend!

I had a delicious scoop of chocolate ice cream with swirls of peanut butter. They have bike and other rentals. Would like to try the tandem bike!

SCOOPS is a quaint family run coffee and ice cream shop. I was sent on a coffee run near where my daughter's wedding venue was held. The shop owner filled me in on a bit of welcomed information. 😊 I explained to him that some of the wedding party were staying in hotels in Rochester, Minnesota. He shared with me that there are some cabin rentals (longer stay options) available on a lake nearby. I took a brochure and shared it with the rest of the wedding party. I hope it drums up some business for that location too! 👍
