Scoop Du Jour Ice Creamery

I grew up going here and been have frequenting this establishment for over 20 years, and it’s still the best ice cream place in Seattle, no offense to Molly Moon which is awesome in its own right but Scoop Du Jour has exquisite, friendly service, great food, like the Scoop burger and sensational ice cream. Plus it’s in the heart of Madison Park one of the best neighborhoods in Seattle.
I love it and it is not the same thing over and over again and again in the world to see the point where you are the only thing that would make it a lot of fun to use it for a few years back on my way home and sleep all night and I’m still not working for me and I have a great way of the best disputes she w to get a job at this time last year to get a follow from the beginning same start of this year until the you whave can are you a going doing this to me and I my you can do be on the my ea t I love you it would mean the whole world absolute worst thing ever I love the way you are a lot of people who are you going to be a good day to be a good time to get a new one is a great eeee and the other day and I love the way you are can be I have to no avail of my t to the I phone and is call it a what you want do it for all of the them to be the get go on to back up and down I have to no avail for in a statement row and I a lot to me do it I you can be do get a follow new

On the very short list for best cheeseburger in Seattle — that’s not news, but you need to know.
Now I learn they have the absolute best tuna sandwich in town, which I learned recently somewhat by accident when my wife asked me to go there using FlyBuy (where you order through the FlyBuy app and they bring your order out to you curbside — awesome service). I am a really tough customer when it comes to tuna sandwiches and we were blown away by how good it was.
Scoop is run by Ed, someone I went to grade school with in the same neighborhood (40 years ago or so), and they have sort of been the only game in town for ice cream in Madison Park for 25 years or more. The cheeseburger /​bacon burger thing has happened slowly, but now it seems everyone in Madison Park who is willing to indulge from time-​to-​time, and admit it, will get the burger, though I would hazard a guess that most of them/​us have rarely eaten one there — it’s something to take home and indulge in at home.
But now with FlyBuy — it’s even easier to indulge now that you can almost be anonymous when you pick up your order.
Sure you need to eat at Monsoon, Harvest Vine, Crush, Mamnoon, and Nishino and some of the true signature restaurants in town, but if you miss Scoop, whether you live here or are just visiting, your experience is incomplete.

This place is cute and quaint, and has an old school feel with a good selection of ice cream. The only thing i’d say kind of sucks is the pricing (probably because of the neighborhood it is in?) which is a little high for ice cream. It isn’t even specialty/​gourmet ice cream like Molly Moons but just as expensive for smaller scoops. Plus the guys that work there are kind of pushy and rude and answer back like they don’t want to be there (which they probably don’t honestly) which made no sense since there weren’t any customers in there besides myself.
I think i’d only come here again if I was in the area and really craved ice cream, but other than that, I don’t think i’d go back.

Love this place! The burger is good here too! They make delicious milkshakes! Don’t forget your cash as they don’t have a credit card machine. Although there is a wellsfargo up the street!

One of the best milkshakes I’ve ever had. Went twice within a week because I just had to have the creamy goodness that is a peanut butter & death by chocolate milkshake. SO good. Good price, huge shake… nice staff.

Scoop is much more than an ice cream shop (though the ice cream is really good with lots of choices of flavors). It is a great place to get lunch sandwiches – either take-​out, or eating there in a relaxed atmosphere including TV’s with news and sports. The grilled cheese, toasted tuna and BLT’s are delicious – perfectly toasted with fresh ingredients. The hamburger is one of the best in Seattle. It has a special secret sauce that adds a little tang to the burger that is terrific. Scoop is a great place to meet friends and neighbors for a casual lunch.

This place is about 500 feet from my house and my kids are well aware of the proximity. It isn’t a fancy gelateria or even a fancy ice cream store but it is a fabulous neighborhood ice cream shop. The owner gave out candy on Halloween and obviously hires young locals (as you’d hope). I hope this place stays in-​place for a long time. Oh yeah, and they have a couple tv’s playing whatever local sports game is on.

Good spot to go to on beautiful Seattle sunny days, especially since it is about 3 – 4 blocks from the beach area. They surprisingly made pretty good burgers and sandwiches too but I come here for just the ice cream. They change up their flavors often with the season which is awesome.

Best local hang out EVER! Their ice cream is like any other but as its the only one in the neighborhood and the beach, it is a hot spot for foot traffic. The best thing though that many people forget about it that they serve burgers and sandwiches. Their burgers are a large messy piece of joy. Honestly one of the best burgers I have had in the city, hands down! Order «the works,» you wont regret it.
One of the best features of this hot spot is the event posters they put up on the walls. Just walk in, order some food and sit down at your table catching up on the current and upcoming events around town by looking at their posters. You learn more about whats comings up around the city by those posters than from any other source. Also, they have a few TV’s that host the current sports programs.
The place is owned by a local family and the staff is usually high schools kids so its got a really neighborhood feel. Everyone is so friendly and with all the families that go here to hang out, it is always an inviting atmosphere. Must try!

I visit this cute ice cream shop on a regular basis as it is right down the street from where I live.
The ice cream is delicious. Although not homemade, they serve many flavors by Olympic Mountain Ice cream which I frequently see in many nice dining restaurants around the city.
My favorite flavor is a salted carmel swirl brownie. Delicious.

I thought this would be a cute little local ice cream shop, but it seemed as though all of the bins of ice cream came straight from Baskin-​Robbins. Very vibrantly colored ice cream, and whatever I got I definitely didn’t finish.
The only thing positive I have to say was for the guy working there. He was super friendly and totaled our orders quickly in his head before putting it in the cash register. I approve of people who can do mental math =)

Scoop is a family run little place. The Washington’s are great people, the Father stocks everything for the day in the morning, the son runs everything in the front, while the mom is the chef in back. During the summer months they hire young kids to help out to gain work experience.
The Scoop burger is awesome, the meat actually has flavor as opposed to other places where the meat is bland.
They do sandwiches too, with your choice of bread (white, wheat, lite rye, dark rye, sourdough), meats, and condiments.

Sort of has a sports bar feel, with TVs in each corner of the shop. A hint of grubbiness exudes from the premises, inside and out.
This place has been around for many years. I’d been here a few times, and had fairly neutral experiences each time.
However, I was disappointed on my last visit. I ordered a Cookies & Cream milkshake. The shake had no flavor whatsoever (not even vanilla). Also, it started out runny, but before I was even half way through it, it had completely melted and was the consistency of milk (it was not even hot in there). And to think I got a spoon to eat the shake with. That turned out to be rather unnecessary.
What happened to their ice cream shakes? An unmitigated disaster.

Locally owned = +1
Good location near a park = +1
Lots of parking = +1
Cash only = –1
Ice cream quality = –1
The ice cream isnt as good as Molly Moons or Full Tilt, but it’s completely passable and serves locally made ice cream. Lots of standard flavors, not much interesting to an ice cream connoisseur. It really hits the spot on a sunny day though!
Reasonable prices and nice people who work there.
The blueberry cheesecake is good. The sorbet tastes a little over-​sweet to me.
I want to give it more stars because it’s so hole-​in-​the-​wall-​y, but «A-​OK» is as good as I can give in good conscience.

I go here for the burgers.
I went here to get ice cream for like decades, but my brother raved about how bomb the burgers were.
I usually disregard his recommendations because when my brother hypes up places, as they tend suck ass since he’s loaded when he goes.
I know from personal experience that the shittiest food tastes like mario bitali personally made it for you when you’re baked off of your ass. But when you go back sober it’s bootylicious and not in a good way.
But this place actually delivered, the burgers are awesome be warned though, you have to call in advance because I think these guys have to go through the whole process of slaughtering a cow and grinding it up since it takes them like 45 minutes to make one. But it’s worth it, especially since they put real cheddar and not that plastic american food cheese bullshit.

On a nice, sunny day nothing really beats a cool scoop (or two… or three) of delicious ice cream. I particularly love those mom-​and-​pop type of ice cream shops because they usually have something out of the ordinary that’s good… like unique ice cream flavors, or extra large scoops, or interesting atmosphere, etc. Scoop Du Jour doesn’t really have any of that but I still like it because of the location in beautiful Madison Park. The service is friendly and they give fairly big scoops of ice cream from their big selection.
So, check it out and get the latest «scoop» on the place (OK, I know that was corny but had to do it).

I’m always impressed with a business when they remember who I am. I don’t expect them to remember my name at all but I’m always stunned that anyone can remember me, especially after a few years. I used to go there a lot when I was younger for an egg-​salad sandwich and a strawberry milkshake. I was waxing nostalgic the other day walking through the park when I happened by Scoop, and suddenly I was transported back quite a few years to much easier days of my life. I went in and the wonderful man behind the counter immediately recognized me and asked me about my life and how I was doing as he made my milkshake. We talked a bit before I left with my milkshake and my extra bit in a paper cup.
The milkshake was quite tasty and hit the spot. It was perfectly made just the way I remember, crystallized pieces of milk and ice crunched in my mouth and kept my teeth tinglingly happy the whole time. I was very happy… and will go back next time. By the way, they have awesome burgers the size of your face!

I love this ice cream shop! They are the only ice cream shop that sells the local ice cream, Olympic Mountain Ice Cream, which is sold at all of the top restaurants (Daniel’s etc) in Seattle. I have found the staff always helpful and fun, even though I always come in right before they close. This store has some small outside seating and is always a place of gathering on any summer day.
The Coconut Almond Fudge is my favorite, but all of the Olympic Mountain Ice Cream flavors are all awesome.
I recently discovered something amazing though… you can buy a whole pint for only $ 4.75! For all of those people that said that it is expensive should just buy a pint and they will be a lot happier.

The scooper was a bit snippy, but that was ok. I think she was just frustrated with 3 giggling people trying to figure out ice cream decision making. She was super helpful to a friend though with avoiding stuff with too much milk in it.
I had a scoop of toasted coconut with fudge. It was deeeelicious. I wanted the chocolate fudge one, but they were out. I was supposed to get that by the blue lid, but didn’t. (See above paragraph with snippy scooper).
However, it was a great little shop and it’s close enough to a park and the beach that you can go to enjoy your cone or cup at! We had lunch before we got there, so no trying the other food, but it smelled yummy.
Oh, and beware, CASH (or check) ONLY!

This place gets a full star or two based on location alone. It is one of the closer places to my apt. and it is an area that is nice and relaxing to enjoy a cone in. It is a no-​frills joint but offers about 20 flavors, all of which make me drool thinking about. I had a dulce de leche and it was amazing. Apparently they sell other kinds of food there as well.
They lose a star because despite getting a pretty huge scoop even for a regular size the price borders «almost» ridiculous and because they are cash only. Other than that I’m sure I’ll visit several times over the summer.
