The Inside Scoop

Although the title of this post might give off an air of mystery, the place I'm telling you about today is actually called The Inside Scoop. In my four years at Marist College, I never drove up Violet Ave past Stop and Shop. Sure, I've driven that far on Rt. 9 but the back roads have a ton of smaller places that are definitely worth checking out. The Inside Scoop is one of them!

The Inside Scoop is a little place that serves food but--more importantly--ice cream! They advertise their homemade ice cream which is what automatically caught MY attention! So on one of those super hot days this last week, I made my way over there and I was not disappointed, at all. As I looked at the menu of food choices, they had everything from burgers to nachos, most of it for less than $7. The real deal is the ice cream though.

I like to think that I am a self-diagnosed expert of ice cream and this was a great addition to my list of fantastic ice cream. The ice cream was thick and the flavor was delicious...some of the best chocolate ice cream that I've ever had. An additional benefit? There's plenty of seating inside but they also have seating outside, where I love to eat my ice cream. There are chairs, playgrounds for kids, and picnic benches. If you haven't gotten over there yet, get on Violet Ave and just drive towards Stop and Shop and you'll see it on your right!
