SCOOP! in Manchester

Have been a couple of times now, the Ice cream is delicious and large portion sizes. Is worth visiting

My girlfriend and I tried their ice cream today, and I'd have to say it was the worst we've had in a long time. The fact they don't allow you to sample any flavors makes so much sense because anyone that doesn't know what average ice cream tastes like would know Scoop can't even reach that level. We both got waffle cones; I tried the peanut butter chocolate and chocolate hazelnut, and my girlfriend got the strawberry and cookies and cream. The peanut butter chocolate tasted cheap and didn't hardly even taste like peanut butter. The chocolate hazelnut was similar but for hazelnut. Cookies and cream (white) tasted like bottom of the barrel cheap ice cream. The only bright spot was the strawberry as it's pretty hard to mess up fruit ice cream when the fruit is included. I also got the nutella sauce as it was included, but it didn't even taste like nutella. Probably another cheap brand to go along with all the other cheap aspects of the ice cream. Oh, and the waffle cones were extremely stale and had no flavor. No sugar coating, no vanilla taste, and it was stale - it was like we were chewing on cardboard.

Top tier service and best ice cream in the Uk. FACT

SCOOP is not a very big place, wouldn't be able to fit a lot of people in there but, the food, service and atmosphere is really good.

I feel really bad writing this but this is my experience and I was not happy. We entered late on Saturday night as a group of 7. The staff took our orders quite slowly. A ‘special’ was sticky toffee pudding, which we found out was a vegan brand after the fact and was from a mass produced box. They were then put in a microwave with custard and it was so hot it burnt the custard. Then the whole room filled with smoke and when my sister said it was smoky, one staff member just laughed at her?? I didn’t eat my pudding as it was tasteless and burnt. Really disappointed in the service and the food. One of the bubble waffles served was burnt too.

I enjoy coming here since the desserts are great and the staff are nice and friendly

Fabulous vegan options, lovely staff, very reasonable and tasty

Best gelato in Manchester by far – especially the pistachio and cookies and cream. Staff are lovely and there’s loads to choose from. My go-to place for a treat!

The little shop is so great! I had a milkshake and it was delicious. The menu is very large with a lot of varieties. The atmosphere is very fun and inviting. The gentleman working was very welcoming, kind and helpful as I took awhile to decide. I would definitely return and recommend.

Tasty icecrea and desserts. Had two scoops and both of them very very good. My partner had the brownie sandwich with ice cream and he really enjoyed it too. The inside is very cute, very instagrammable. Would recommend.

Ordered a strawberry and chocolate crepe with pistachio ice cream and it was an absolute treat! I would for sure be ordering again in the future

Good ice cream spot near town. Ice cream is really tasty, but more like British ice cream than gelato. Price is not too bad, I think I paid £4.80 for two scoops on a biscuit cone. The toppings are included in the price. They had a good selection of vegan ice cream (dark chocolate and mint choc in the picture, and I think they also had mango and berries)

- coconut and mango gelato (2 scoops) £4.20

A great selection if Gelato, with free toppings!

Had plenty of pistachio ice creams before and this one was very bland. It tasted like a generic milk/vanilla ice cream. Definitely not worth the price tag per scoop.

I loved the ice cream, the taste is delicious, the flavor is strong, and the quantity is good🥰

Amaaaaazing bubble waffles with ice cream! Absolutely huge portions too

I stopped by here for a quick ice cream, opting for the vegan Wild Berries. There was a generous variety of flavours, and toppings come free! Other desserts are also on the menu- waffles, crepes etc. Highly recommended for a cool treat.

This place is BANGING. I’ve had a lot of ice cream in my time. The ice cream here is up there with the best! Stunning flavours, great texture and reasonably priced. Loads of sauces and toppings too! Now I make a special trip to go there, every time I’m in town!

Great ice cream, desserts and milk shakes.

Recommended the twix brownie sandwich 😋

Super helpful and friendly staff. Ive never seen a dessert plsce that used different scoops for each ice cream which my gluten free friend said it made her feel so safe

I am completely addicted to the aero ice cream sandwich, please send help

Ordered through Uber Eats two waffles and an iced coffee. Waffles were 10 out of 10 however the coffee arrived warm (all ice cubes had melted), I had a sip and it tasted sweet and smelled like hazelnut. I have a hazelnut allergy and noted this to the shop on the note section and called the owner as well to inform him. Not entirely sure if there was anything added to my coffee but for peace of mind I didn’t have it. I reported this issue on the app about the coffee and I got a refund for the coffee. The owner called me the next day asking what was wrong with the order and why I asked for a full refund, the owner was very confrontational on the phone and told me that his business would never recover after my review. I felt bad and went on the app to ensure I left a good review. I appreciate this is a small business but calling your customers to tell them off won’t bring them back to the shop.

Could have been nice but by time it turned up everything was melted and ended up with a soggy waffle and ice cream soup. Would recommend visiting instead

This place gives you the rubber dinghy rapids in your mouth, tantalising stuff!!

The ice cream was really tasty and a nice selection of flavours. However, I wanted to get a tub to bring to my friends, but they only sell it by scoop and in a strange pricing model so I ended up paying a crazy price for a small amount. Good if you want to get 1-2 scoops. Not worth it if you want to get a tub of ice cream home.

Amazing range of ice cream flavours and they're really good quality. Would recommend the cookies and cream white or the pistachio! The portions are generous and the staff are always lovely :)

place, very kind staff Lia! yummy milkshakes! blackberry crepes yummy! I'll be back!

Delicious ice-cream. Friendly service.

Ice cream from Italy who wouldn’t want. Delicious 😋 really friendly staff.

A bit hit and miss. Raspberry fudge topping - disgusting! Chemical flavour and stale. Avoid!!! Mint chocolate ice cream tastes like tooth paste!! No joke. On the upside the chocolate, pistachio, mango and coconut ice-cream was a delight. Guys working there were pleasant. But like I said a bit hit and miss

Best bubble waffles around and the gelato is to die for, specially the pistachio Ice Cream !

Great ice cream but owner speaks to staff in poor way yet very friendly towards costumers, staff on other hand very helpfull and laugh to chat to.

Good flavour selection, nice ice cream and friendly staff

Had a double scoop cornet. Gorgeous and worth every penny. Welcoming & helpful staff too.

Very nice selection of ice cream with big portions. Sauces and toppings are included in the price and they're very good. Lovely location.

Are you looking for ice cream? Here you can find a good one. The dark chocolate is so tasty. For sure, it's far from Italian ice cream, but for uk standard is pretty good. You should try!

The ice cream is delicious and the guys working their are really friendly and polite.

Great ice-cream and big selection of toppings. I recommend the cookies and cream

Highly recommend, absolutely delicious desserts! We had the Bueno sandwich (back/left of the photo) and scoops of coconut ice cream and passionfruit sorbet with toppings (front/right of the photo). We also had the small portion of Nutella filled mini pancakes (not on the photo). All was very tasty, my favourites were the passionfruit sorbet and the filled mini pancakes! The passionfruit sorbet was very refreshing, I look forward to coming back here on a warm summer day to try some more sorbets and to have this one again! The filled mini pancakes were just warm, sweet happiness in a bite! These were so much better than the plain ones on the Christmas markets! Don't waste your time queueing, come here instead - they are open all year around!

Very nice selection of ice cream flavours which are really tasty. Portion sizes are massive and there are so many toppings options. Great location for ice cream crawl. There are also crepes, waffles and cakes. The staff is lovely. Would definitely recommend.

Me and my boyfriend have ordered here twice now and i cannot rave about it enough!!! The presentation, the toppings and generous amounts not to mention how friendly the staff are. You get absolutely loads for your money. Genuinely an amazing place will defo be regulars

Was really looking forward to this. The pics look amazing. Sadly it was a massive disappointment. Ordered the ‘hot doughnuts’ with a scoop of tiramisu and coconut. What a got was one doughnut cut in half. The proper cheapest doughnut you can find. Definitely didn’t get the scoop of coconut and the tiramisu was poor. But don’t worry, it’s covered in toppings and sauce to hide the bad parts. For £6.50 too. This has to be a joke. I’m thinking I was meant to get two doughnuts, cause two were removed for prep. But that’s not what I got. My wife had the bubble cone. Which she said was fine. Not a glowing recommendation. I’d perhaps go back to try the ice cream on it’s own. But the experience was poor and very overpriced. ADDED: I can't reply to Scoop's response. The Hot Doughnuts is advertised as 'Hot Doughnuts' not Hot Doughnut. So how many doughnuts is it meant to be? It is sold as 2 scoops, I definitely didn't get the two scoops I asked for. Don't reply to my review without addressing the issues I brought up.

Lovely fresh clean place, super friendly staff and utterly delicious ice cream. What more could you ask for?

Great atmosphere and food. Most recommend ✌🏽

So delicious, so friendly, vegan flavours available, including dark chocolate which is amazing. Best ice cream in Manchester. Nice people work there. We go there all the time.

Amazing ice creams. Very Cozy and clean space. Very friendly service and with attention to detail.

Really good selection of ice cream flavours, toppings and sauce at a reasonable price. James has served us the last few times and he is always so friendly and helpful

Best ice cream shop in Manchester by far. They have such an exciting range of flavours, great topping, and such lovely staff. We've been several times now and will definitely be going back again and again

We where just passing through the street and than we noticed that is vegan ice-creams... So we pop in... Coffee is really good, and tasty fresh roast, but ice creams... Are just amazing good! Vegan option is perfect, and not only vegan but normal too! Now I know taht will be our fav place of we will be in neighbourhood :) thx guy's! See you soon!

Great choice of flavours, toppings and sauces and some vegan options too!

Great ice cream and friendly service. It’s a nice touch that sauce and toppings are included. All they need now is a pistachio gelato 😀

Great place with some excellent choices! Dairy and vegan options available, and the owner is really friendly. Remembers me everytime, which adds that special extra touch!

We visited today and the guys serving were really friendly. My daughter had the strawberry and cream ice cream and i asked how it was and she said out of a thousand i would give it 1000 so high praise. I had the vegan raspberry and it was delicious and refreshing. Well definitely visit again.

Ancoats first ice-cream shop! And a great variety of flavours! Sure this will be very popular this summer.
