Seating and setting
The porch and patio set The Scoop apart from a typical ice cream storefront. Outdoor seating is pleasant during warm weather, and availability can depend on the season, weather, and how busy downtown is. On summer weekends, event days, and Farmers Market mornings, the area around Main Street can be busier than usual.
