    Additional Spokane Food Guides

    Our goal with our Best Ice Cream Shop in Spokane guide is to highlight local Spokane ice cream shops that are making amazing ice cream. Spokane does have national ice cream chains like Dairy Queen, Ben & Jerry's, Baskin Robbins,  and others but we really wanted to highlight local small businesses.

    These local businesses are the heart of our community and we want to help support them as much as possible.

    The Scoop

    Locations - Kendall Yards, South Hill

    The Scoop has an ever-changing menu of house-made ice cream that is simply delicious. Their Instagram page has me drooling all the time over new ice cream flavors and fun specials.

    They have bubble waffle cones which are a fun remake of the classic waffle cone. I love that on some Tuesdays they have taco Tuesday ice cream style with waffle cone tacos.

    One cool thing about The Scoop is they use liquid nitrogen to make their ice cream. This creates an amazing smooth creamy ice cream that tastes amazing. They also offer super fun flavors I haven't seen anywhere else.

    The last time we went by the Scoop I tried their Twinkleberry Ice Cream which was strawberry ice cream with sprinkles and twinkie pieces inside. HELLO YUM!

    They have amazing vegan gelato that is delicious. Packed with flavor and so good.

    Don't miss visiting one of the Scoop shops either in Kendall Yards or the South Hill.

    The South Hill shop carries Pineapple Dole Whip and the Kendall Yards location serves homemade gelato.

    The Scoop South Hill Address - 1001 W 25th Ave, Spokane, WA 99203

    The Scoop Kendall Yards Address - 1238 W. Summit Pkwy 99201
    They took over the location that was previously brain freeze ice cream.

     

    Doyles Ice Cream

    Doyle's Ice Cream has been a landmark in the West Central neighborhood since 1939. Doyles has been making their own ice cream since 1939 and is Spokane's last working vintage soda fountain.

    They have huge banana splits, Awful-Awful ( vertical banana split), old-fashioned shakes, sodas, and floats.

    All of their drinks are made from scratch ( syrup and carbonated water from the antique gooseneck).

    Doyle's Ice Cream Address - 2229 W Boone Ave, Spokane, WA 99201

    Penoche - Brown Sugar Fudge Ice Cream

    Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates and Ice Cream

    Mrs. Cavanaughs makes their own ice cream which is half custard half ice cream, this makes it richer than normal ice cream!

    They opened just over two years ago in North Spokane. This Spokane Ice Cream shop is part of a Utah-based ice cream and chocolate company. Many of the ice creams available in-store are made with their housemade chocolate.

    I need you to try the Penoche Ice Cream! This brown sugar fudge ice cream is drool-worthy. Every single ice cream flavor we have tried at Mrs. Cavanaugh's has been delicious.

    We were so impressed with Tish who helped us at the store. She took our photo since we were on an ice cream date and we had so much fun talking with her.

    Mrs. Cavanaughs is also part of our best candy stores in Spokane because their chocolates are that good.

    Mrs. Cavanaughs Ice Cream - 513 E Hastings Rd, Spokane, WA 99218

    How we picked the Ice Cream Shops in Spokane

    We have lived in Spokane for close to twenty years. When we are not traveling and exploring the world we are spending time exploring our local area. Our goal with our Spokane Food Guides is to share with you the best food Spokane has to offer.

    We have seen how much the Spokane food scene has changed in the past 20 years and we are excited to share all the amazing places you can enjoy in town.

    With that being said we only share food and restaurants that truly impresses us. We want to make sure that when you go and spend your money you get the best bang for your buck you can get. If you don't see your favorite Spokane restaurant listed on one of our guides that could be for a couple of reasons. We may not have visited there yet or we possibly didn't have a great experience and have it on a list to revisit soon.

    When we don't have a great experience at a Spokane restaurant we try to go back again a few months later to see if the restaurant has improved or things have changed.  All of us have bad days and moments so we try not to judge a restaurant by one bad experience.

    If there is a Spokane Ice Cream shop we missed that you think we have to try please comment or send us a note so we can add it to our must-visit soon list.
