Fairfax Scoop

Best ice cream ever! Hands down, pure awesomeness! Love Fairfax Scoop! The fresh waffle cones add to the experience. I love that they let you sample the flavors before you buy. It’s always busy but it is definitely worth the wait. Do yourself a favor and stop by Fairfax Scoop!

Fresh waffle cones and cups plus vegan option this place rocks! I had the vegan grasshopper made with coconut milk on a waffle cone… it was simply amazing! It was light, refreshing and I wouldn’t have known it was vegan if it wasn’t on the sign! Highly recommend!

What a perfect treat after a hike! I had the lavender and honey ice cream. It was really flavorful and a perfect balance of the ingredients. Cute little shop. Girl working was very friendly and let me try several flavors before I decided on the one I wanted. I will definitely go again when I am in Fairfax.

Great customer service! Great ice cream! If you are passing through Fairfax stping by the Fairfax Scoop is a must.

Love love love their salted Carmel ice cream! It is worth the wait it line! The homemade comes are delicious and the prices are reasonable.

I visited here more than 7 years ago and I am still thinking about their ice cream. We came back for a visit this week and so glad to find that it hadn’t changed! Still ever bit as charming as I remembered, with a really great texture to their ice cream. It’s almost like gelato. And the flavors were delish. I sampled a couple first (cookies and cream, and salted caramel), but settled on the vanilla honey lavender. Kids scoop is basically way more ice cream than I can handle and it was only $ 1.95! That’s including a choice of waffle cup or cone (go cup!!). It’s organic and local. Love this place.

Excellent creamy ice cream! The scoops come with a freshly made waffle cone (already included in the price). With only about 10 flavors, there are some classic as well as more unique ones to try without feeling overwhelmed. I’ll be back to Fairfax if only for a great ice cream cone :)

Not enough of Fairfax Scoops around the Bay Area! The ice cream is so good and so well priced you can’t stop. Literally and physically!!! I love their vegan and dairy free ice cream, it tastes very delicious and you can’t even tell its healthy. It is hard to drive all the way to Fairfax often, but the Scoops is totally worth it. Although, WARNING, you will wait a long time with the line going out the door, but don’t give up because the wait is worth it!!!

I am not a big ice cream fan, but this place has turned me into one. One flavor– Honey Lavender Vanilla — has changed my palate forever. Thank you for making my taste buds happy!

Really cute ice cream shop in Fairfax. The had a good amount of flavors to choose from, and they were making a fresh batch when I was there.
I got Mexican chocolate. I wish it had a bit of spice to it, but overall the flavor was really good, and like I stated, it was fresh.
It’s really small inside, so it’s best to take it to go and walk around the cute downtown area. If I’m ever in the area with a craving for ice cream, I will come back here and get a scoop.

Such good quality ice cream!!! I got the vegan cookies n CREME ! (: they make their own waffle cones/​waffle cups! I love coming here whenever I come down here from Sac!
Such a good place !!

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVVVVEEEE THIS PLACE!!! The first time I been here was probably five or more years ago and I’ve been dreaming about coming back, but didn’t know the name or where it was exactly.
My friends and I decided to get some ice cream after a long hike in the area, so we Unilocaled a place and this fairfax scoops showed up. When I saw the photos of the place I KNEW this was the ice cream place I went to five years ago! I just had to go back and bring my friends to this awesome place! When we got there, it looked exactly like how I remembered.
There was a good variety of flavors. My favorite is the honey lavender. I always gotta try lavender ice cream when I see it at ice cream parlors. I got a single scoop of honey lavender and lemon almond. They were both sooooo good! The honey lavender really had the lavender aroma. Always makes me so happy when you get a really distinct lavender flavor. The lemon almond was good as well. I was skeptical cause I usually don’t like lemony things, but it wasn’t actually super lemony. It was really subtle and the almond in it went really well with it.
You can’t beat the price for what you are getting! Normally at ice cream parlors like this, prices would be jacked up because of the specialty of flavors and popularity. It was such a great deal! For a single scoop you can get up to two flavors and they are really decent size scoops for what you are paying. I got the single scoop with two different flavors in a waffle cup for $ 2.85. Crazy good deal! They don’t even charge for the waffle cup/​cone! Usually a size like this at other ice cream places would be like $ 4 – 5 minimum.
Everything is made in house. The ice cream and the waffle cones! Totally a great bang for your buck!
Place is really small. It has a couple of tables to sit and eat. It’s such a nice area to walk around and enjoy your ice cream. Parking was really easy to find. There are a bunch of open spots around town. I went on a Saturday afternoon expecting it to be crowded and hard to find packing, but nope! :)
Definitely if you are in the area or driving pass this town, stop by and try it out! You won’t be disappointed! I wish I lived closer so I can buy some to bring home

Super creamy, smooth, fresh and affordable!
I don’t think I’ve every had ice creamy so creamy before. It is so creamy that it melts faster than your typical Baskin Robbins scoop. I had the blueberry, vanilla honey lavender and strawberry. Strawberry was far my favorite!
Plus, they are Eco friendly and will discount $ 0.25 for bringing in your own container!
I came on a Friday evening (9:20 pm) and the line was somewhat long. Be ready to wait 15 minutes or more. No worries, it is worth it! Oh, they only accept cash.

I kind of didn’t want to write a review and give this place 5 stars because it is such a gem, and I don’t want this place to become busier and have the line get longer than it already is. BUT, THIS PLACE DESERVES ANOTHER 5-​STAR REVIEW! Yes, the line does get pretty long and the wait can be a bore, but it is well-​worth it. This is our favorite ice cream place. It’s so good that my husband refuses to have ice cream anywhere else, or if we do have ice cream somewhere else, he always brings up that it doesn’t taste as good as Fairfax. I love it because the ice cream is not too sweet, the flavors are always changing and it is local! Try the Cookies and Cream, Honey-​Lavender Vanilla, and Coffee.
Fairfax Scoop, BRING BACK THE BANANA WALNUT!

Excellent ice-​cream!
I don’t know what long lines people are talking about. We went there around 6 p.m. on Wednesday. There was no waiting and no lines. Only tasty ice-​cream and friendly service.

Was in Fairfax for a mini vacation with my boyfriend and saw this local ice cream shop walking distance.
There seemed to have always been a line when we passed by, and with good reason! The ice cream here is fucking delicious. Great flavors
(honey lavender being my favorite) nice extremely creamy and super smooth.
The store is very small with just a couple small tables inside leading the lines way out the door. Service is pretty fast though.
This is defiantly a must for ice cream connoisseurs. and if you’re spending the day in north bay and passing through fairfax this place is worth the stop.

Thanks Unilocalers for warning me about the wait.
THIS ICE CREAM HAD ICE CHIPS IN IT but was otherwise nice. It was too busy for me to go back and correct the ice chip problem.

I rarely rate places but this place deserves ¹⁰⁄₅ stars. It’s absolutely amazing!
Our all time favorite ice cream flavor is coconut but we also love their salted carmel and honey vanilla lavender. Really, you can’t go wrong with any flavor.
We love the free waffle bowl or cone. AND if you bring your own container you get $.50 off your pint, and you will want to buy at least a pint!

I miss Fairfax Scoop! This was a regular guilty and inexpensive pleasure during my three years of living in Marin.
The place maintains its integrity and freshness throughout the year. They emphasize locally sourced ingredients and flavors, such as «Marshall Melon», «Tomales Heath Bar» (paraphrasing) and similar plays on locations that incorporate incredibly fresh tastes and natural ingredients.
Often boasts a line running outside the door, but it moves along, and everyone enjoys the experience of waiting together. It’s a good place to cast an eye on what’s going on in Fairfax and the surrounding communities, as they have a small local activity board that organizations can place flyers on. And the kids love it, of course — the Scoop even has special stools for them.

You can’t beat these prices for organic ice cream! I paid $ 2.60 for a single scoop in a waffle cone which gives you 2 flavours!
Vanilla honey lavender is a must try. It’s a nice light taste that’s sweet with a hint of flowers at the end. I was a gallon of this flavour.
Lemon almond is also good, generous portions of almond! If you don’t like the almond taste, give it a taste anyways. You’ll never know!
The reason I’m giving this place 4 instead of 5 stars despite the amazing flavours and unbearable prices are because of the portion sizes. I wish I could a bigger scoop of each flavour :(it felt quite small to me… But it was still enough to hit the spot for me.
I’ll definitely be back

Sehr leckeres Eis — für einen Stop sehr zu empfehlen.
