Throwback to 2020 and peedie Reeva being absolutely thrilled with her ice cream - almost as thrilled as we are that it’s only two weeks until the Scoop opens again!

Not long to go 🍦🍰🥪

We love seeing photos of you enjoying the Scoop, particularly when they’re as cute as this! Peedie Reeva declared her sundae to be “lip smacking” - we’d have to agree with that statement. What’s your favourite?

Thanks to dad Steven for sending this and giving permission to share 📸

Our elves (Brian, Val and helpers!) have been working SO hard to ‘whippy’ The Daily Scoop back into tip top shape.

A very special visitor popped past to check the progress and was heard to say to his red nosed friend, “From ‘no no no’ to ‘ho ho ho’, the equipment is so clean, you can see your face in it!

Photographic evidence provided, to prove this REALLY happened.

From naughty to n-ice (cream)…. The Daily Scoop is sparkling again ✨🎅

A nod to the history of 42 Broad Street 📰

Our newspaper wall has had a facelift as part of the ongoing refresh. Next time you’re in, have a browse and see if you can find anyone you know 🧐

Anyone with eagle eyes spot the new articles just from this photo? 👀

Progress update ✨

The sparkle and shine is slowly coming back to the Scoop!

Val, Brian and a whole host of others have been busy freshening up the cafe, from deep cleaning and painting & decorating to getting the machines back to top notch condition.

We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon 🫶🏻

We are delighted to announce that The Daily Scoop will reopen soon under new management, bringing you the same great spot with new ideas, fresh energy and plenty of delicious treats! 🍦☀️

We can't wait to see The Daily Scoop return to its full potential. More details of when the Scoop will reopen will follow in due course 📅
