Cute ice cream shop in downtown Matthews! You walk up,order, and sit at one of the picnic tables or walk around downtown, enjoying your ice cream. They have many flavors to pick from as well as options to have it in a bowl, or cone ( waffle and sugar) Originally I thought the price seemed steep but you really get your money's worth as every bite is full of flavor and they definitely pack it in!

Delicious local homemade ice cream! Their Reese's peanut butter ice cream is dreamy and yummy and leaves you wanting more. They had another location last year but moved to this one behind the Beer Temple by the railroad tracks in downtown Matthews. They have a few picnic tables and are close to the Main Street. Parking is wherever you can find it. Price is fair for homemade desserts! $5-6, generous portion.

Not bad. Clutch location if your walking around Downtown Matthews, casual easy grab and go. Mainly classic flavors and overall pretty standard in terms of taste. I'd say average across the board.

i love this place. i came here for the first time today, it was the most thick ice cream i've probably had in a long time. they get your ice cream fast, and the workers are friendly. the scenery outside is beautiful too. best place to go get ice cream in matthews.

First time me and my family came out to Matthews, NC we in love with Matthews downtown. Also we saw an ice cream trailer, so curious we tried it out. OMG unbelievable the BEST ice cream ever, very smooth, not super sweet, just perfect (their ice cream is home made!). We tried 3 others home made ice cream places but not as great as "The Local Scoop" which is we have a Nick name for it: Our Moo Cow Ice Cream We are not from local Matthews or NC, but every time we are around for sure we have to go to "our Moo Cow Ice Cream place." Not only that we even bring our family and friends from all around the world (China, Indonesia, California and Missouri) to "The Local Scoop!" One day, we were shocked when we came and didn't see the ice cream trailer, no no no... we were so sad that The Local Scoop gone! But we didn't give up, I did research and found out actually The Local Scoop has a real store at Ballantyne! We drove out there right the way, and saw the cow we felt back in life again. Went in and we recognized the two of young boys or server who were in Matthews. So we chatted a little and got inform that during cold weather or winter the Matthews location close. From there we know, we can go to Matthews or Ballantyne too as long only go to "The Local Scoop". Please try it out, guarantee will not disappoint you at all and will be the opposite of it you will want more and more, just some tips: their ice cream all flavor are yummy and the people all young, nice and energetic!

Wow where do I begin? I took my wife here for dessert on our date night after we ate at Moes BBQ and boy did they not disappoint.I had the Cookie Monster which was absolutely phenomenal while my wife had the Coffee Toffee which was also great (of course I had to taste test).Everything was super fresh, delicious, and you can tell they have a true commitment to their craft.Side note, the employee who helped us "Chase" was so friendly and helpful that it made the experience that much better.Highly recommend to everyone in the Matthews area to check them out.We love supporting local businesses and The Local Scoop will now be in our date night rotation!
