Scarlet Scoop Ice Cream Parlor

Scarlet Scoop is a must stop while in Houma!The flavors of ice cream are numerous & always include seasonal delights. You can also purchase nostalgic candies.Because they serve such a wonderful product, you may have to wait 10 minutes or so to get your order.It's very small inside with about three tables, so we decided to sit outside!

Always the best waffle cones. They are made fresh in the shop. If you are lucky enough to be there when they make the smell is amazing. Always friendly service we love going there is is a local treat.

I've driven through 43 states and I've never come across a place quite like Scarlet Scoop! I haven't lived in Houma in 6 years and this ice cream parlor will always be a nostalgic little piece of home for me when I'm visiting town. The ambience is unique & reminds me of when I was younger. The light fixtures, the walls, the stools, the old signage, the little candy shop... I love it all! They even have a fridge on the side with dog ice cream.It's always the owner working when I come in and I never know if he remembers me or not but I kindof love always seeing his familiar face. I'm glad it wasn't shut down after the pandemic, it's definitely a place I always look forward to stopping at when I'm home.

We visited Scarlet Scoop on a recent trip to Thibodaux and we were not disappointed. So many fun flavors and the ice cream tasted delicious! The quality was superb. The service was friendly and the ambiance was fun (although it's tiny and it was crowded!). My only complaint was that I wish I had been told there was a fee to pay with my debit card instead of seeing it after the fact in my receipt. Transparency is key so maybe tell your customers in advance or post the fee.

I know the last few years with the pandemic and now the generally bad economy have taken a toll on mom and pop businesses and I really respect what they bring to a community. That being said, this potentially adorable ice cream spot could use a good cleaning and spiffing up. It's a small space bursting at the seams with an insane number of ice cream and candy options. No one would miss out if they had fewer options and the place would feel roomier, neater, and cleaner. As for the taste of the ice cream, it wasn't the best and it wasn't the worst. Mine had a slightly funny after taste. I started the review giving it 3 stars but decided to give it 4 in the hopes you'll be encouraged to stop in and support a small business.

Our party of 4 ordered the following: kid cone, one scoop in a cup, one scoop in a cake cone and two scoops in a plain waffle cone. I gave the young man working there my credit card and he told me the total was $23 and some change. When the owner handed me the credit card receipt (shown below), it was $28.14. I asked him why the difference and he said, "The price is what the credit card receipts shows." I asked again and he repeated himself again. I attempted to ask to verify what we had been charged for and he repeated himself a third time. We left and I will never return again. I was kind to him and was not treated the same. I am thinking that I was charged for someone else's order. The $5 difference makes no sense to me.

As a Yelper for years now, I think my fellow Elites would agree with me when I say that we don't consider ourselves food experts but that we utilize this platform to not only help support local businesses but bring awareness to gems around the cities for our fellow foodies. My excitement as I walked in was quickly derailed by a dark haired employee behind the counter when I said, "Let me YELP! this place, it's so cute!!" as it was met with an eye roll and a sarcastic smirk. No clue why and he obviously was also not very happy to greet me as I asked to taste the Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream. I was afraid to even ask but another gentleman behind the counter met me with a smile, it was like night and day. I asked to taste the Sea Salt from him but I wanted to get out of there ASAP. After reading through their business page, it looks like there's been a trend of one individual that's just not very happy to greet customers consistently through the years, which is sad to see because I heard about how my father-in-law has been going there for over 30 years. My experience was uncomfortable but I will say that the ice cream is delicious. It's a beautiful shop with a little patio area to enjoy your ice cream with family and friends. I would absolutely recommend the ice cream and absolutely push to support local businesses, especially in such a tiny town like Houma. This is a true gem within what looks like a "forgotten little city" but would absolutely WARN you as you may possibly be greeted with disrespect. I made sure to take a picture of everything despite my experience because of the very kind man that later served us.

Good customer service & ice cream was so good. The place feels like ice cream shops from past. Would definitely recommend 10/10

Best ice cream ever!! We were In Houma for a couple days and ended up going twice. Great old school charm and everything we tried was amazing!

I go to college at Nicholls and I'm from Alabama so I've never been to any ice cream shops around the area until last night. I was recommended Scarlett Scoop from a friend and expected just an average ice cream parlor. I walked in and looked at the flavors and two popped out to me, the Cookie Monster and the C-19, so naturally I ordered both of them. It was perfect. The scoops were large and the flavors incredible. The ice cream was different than anything I ever had. It had a lot of ingredients in it but they all blended nicely. The ice cream was the perfect temperature, which I know sounds weird, but I could take big bites of it and chew the yummy add ins without any worry of brain freeze. I give this place a solid 10/10 and would recommend to anyone.
