On the 5th of January 2015 I was lucky enough to stumble upon the establishment "Scoops gelato Southampton" with some friends. To my delight, upon entering the store we were peer pressured by an employee (the charming Karina) to try all of the flavours behind the counter. As dairying as it is. We accepted. I will now list to you my highlights and regrets of the tasting session. We decided to start in the top right of the counter which was, on this particular day. Coffee. Now don't get me wrong, Jordan is far from coffee mad. However this coffee ice cream was a joy to have in my mouth. Personally, it was a 4.5 out of 5. Great start Mr scoops. We move down the counter to the nut department. Nuts in question: Pistachio and Hazel. Both strong options however the pistachio really took the biscuit. We are talking sensual ice cream here. Since we have touched the subject of biscuits, let's talk cookie dough. Now I hate to be picky. But the cookies to me had a texture as if they were fully cooked. Does this not make cookie ice cream not cookie dough? Now let's stop nit picking, as this was actually one of the nicest flavours behind the counter scoring a 4.95 out of five (Jordan Collings top scorer). White chocolate and peanut butter were also highlights of mine. Now we head to the hidden counter round the corner where you can unlock such flavours as: Toffee, kiwi yogurt, chocolate sorbet and passionfruit sorbet. I'd say the best of these was the toffee. It was u-tub-ly unbelievable. Ice couldn't believe it. The passionfruit was also a joy to lick off the spoon. Now we come to the negatives. All being in the hidden counter. I can see why they have hidden these flavours. Chocolate sorbet. Who ever thought that would be a pleasurable experience? It reminded me of a viral video involving two girls and one cup. There again I suppose even that floated some peoples boat. Its an ice cream targeting a very specific niche. The same can't be said for the Kiwi sorbet. I just feel the room in the freezer could be better used. For example ferrero rocher or smarties? Oh yeah imagine that Mr scoop! To conclude I had the three scoops costing me only £4.50. I chose to have pistachio, toffee and cookie dough. It was a pleasure to consume. Since writing this review we have been bought free food. Mr scoops is the man. Don't go to sprinkles kids.

Today was our first time at Scoops as we've normally always gone to Sprinkles. We tried here on a whim because Sprinkles was closed for a refit. All I can say is that I've never recieved such lovely service. Polite, well mannered and helpful staff meant that nothing we asked of was too much trouble. We will definitely be using Scoops as our go to gelato restaurant for the foreseeable future. Dining here was an absolute pleasure.
