What Aayumi likes about Arcata Scoop:
This place...HANDS DOWN my favorite place to get icecream in ALL of Humboldt county. Super friendly staff, a cozy, fun atmosphere, and super delicious and creamy icecream with rotating flavors! They have some good options for those with dietary restrictions as well, like using coconut milk instead of regular cream/milk. You can freely sample before you get anything, and can even take a pint home with you for later! M... View all feedback. What Olgie Olgs doesn't like about Arcata Scoop:
No one greeted or looked at us when we first walked in, while one was at the register and another assisting costumers. The lack of customer service and a small selection had us walk out. View all feedback.

The Scoop in Arcata is a charming ice cream shop with a unique and playful atmosphere. The seating indoors is cozy, with swings and a carousel for the kids, as well as local art for sale. The ice cream is generally well-received, with some customers praising the delicious and creamy flavors, while others found it to be mediocre. Despite some inconsistencies with flavor changes and operating hours, patrons appreciate the friendly staff and the creativity of the ice cream options available. Overall, The Scoop is a worthwhile stop for those looking for a fun and tasty ice cream experience in Arcata.

Local spot. Ice cream was kind of grainy. Good flavor assortment that changes from time to time. Generous servings. It's just not the best ice cream.
