Why is this place number one? Endless sampling, amazing prices ($2.50 for two scoops), vegan friendly options, free toppings... and that isn't even the best part. The flavors! From Pabst blue Ribbon and avocado, (it's good, trust me) Riesling peach and even Foie Gras. With the choices changing everyday you won't tire of Scoops. Long live Tai Kim!
