Cookiebar Scoop Shop

This is one of my friend's favorite ice cream places, so per her recommendation, our group of five came by after lunch on Saturday a little before 4pm (found metered parking across the street). There were only a couple of people in the shop when we arrived, and we took our time looking over their options. They had so many Asian flavors, and I ended up trying a good number of them (durian, dan tat/Chinese egg tart, Hong Kong milk tea, London fog, ube, and pandan coconut). There wasn't a single flavor I didn't enjoy, which made the process of choosing quite difficult HAHA. I finally settled on a single with durian and Hong Kong milk tea. I really appreciated how patient and helpful the lady at the counter was when I was feeling indecisive, so huge shoutout to her for providing great customer service.I would come back more often if I lived in the area, but if you're in the area, I would HIGHLY recommend trying this shop out!!

This was just one of those accidental finds that may not have been so accidental when it came to calorie consumption. Jamie W and I were having tiki libations at Forbidden Island and decided to take a walk over to Webster since we don't venture that much on this side of Alameda. We even played pinball at the Pacific Pinball Museum. All that thumb wrestling with those vintage pinball machines must've made me peckish for ice cream.I managed to finagle Jamie to enter the compact shop, and I was immediately impressed by the Asian twang of some of the flavors like Hong Kong Milk Tea, Durian, and Mango Sticky Rice. I surprised even myself and ordered the $4 Kid's Cup of Rocky Road (photo: https://yelp.to/Mh0fd59F-o). It was quite rich and creamy, so the size worked fine for me. The Asian flavors would be worth a return visit. Good to know there's ice cream beyond Tucker's and Loard's.ICE CREAM - 4 stars...pretty yummy, on the thicker sideAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...compact spot with bench seating on the outsideSERVICE - 4 stars...friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...nice option for your sweet tooth on WebsterRELATED - Exploring Alameda?

Came to Cookiebar Scoop Shop because their ice cream menu intrigued me and we were in the area. The main flavor that pulled me in was the Dan Tat (egg tart) flavor. Located in Alameda off Lincoln and Webster, Cookiebar Scoop Shop doesn't actually serve cookies as its name might infer. Instead they serve ice cream with Asian and classic flavors. The inside is small, but cute with hints of mint green and classic black and white checkerboard flooring.My sister and I were able to sample a bunch of flavors, and the ones that stood out to us that we ended up ordering were: - Dan Tat (egg tart) - so custardy with bits of flakey pastry- Pandan Coconut - great pandan flavor and the coconut gave good texture- Cookies n Creme - this one was like an intense version of a classic cookies and cream ice cream you'd get at any other ice cream shop. It was creamy delicious, Oreo x1000. The girl who helped us was super nice and helpful too. She explained the intensity of the cookies and creme, which convinced my sister to order it. Overall great flavors, and I would definitely come back! I want to try the Banana Oreo!

I loved that their London Fog actually tasted like earl grey! It is on the sweeter side, though. I sampled some other flavors as well. Delightful!I love that Cookiebar spotlights on Asian flavors. Service was ok. We were the only ones there, but the worker wasn't really friendly nor rude. Just existing and doing her job.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to satisfy my post-lunch sweet tooth craving. I like the variety of flavors, especially those that have an Asian spin to them (I.e. Hong Kong milk tea, dan tat, ube, etc.).My post-lunch sweet tooth craving clearly got the best of me because I took photos inside the shop, but totally blanked as soon as I got my ice cream and didn't take any photos.I ordered a single cup with matcha Oreo and ube. I wish the ube was a little less coconutty (I have found some places make ube treats with a strong coconut taste and some do with no coconut taste). The matcha Oreo was also kind of grainy, which was weird.There were two staff members working. They were nice, but not super engaged with customers from what I saw. I wish they offered a sample to try a flavor when they saw someone struggling to decide between flavors. The shop is small with no seating, so we took advantage of this and walked around the neighborhood with our ice cream.Parking is available via street parking.

The ice cream here is creamy and the flavors are fun and robust! I was eager to sample all of their signature (South)East Asian flavors (dan tat, pandan coconut, mango sticky rice, etc) but as a durian lover, I felt all of those paled in comparison. The durian flavor was fragrant but not overpowering to the point where my husband didn't want to be near me anymore lol.Since one of our favorite places to eat dim sum in the East Bay is East Ocean across the street, this shop is our go-to dessert spot afterward!

Really cute ice cream shop with unique flavors. The staffs were really nice! Came in after mini golf at SubPar on a Monday afternoon. We sampled a couple of flavors and ended up getting the London Fog & the Birthday Cake. Definitely recommend!

The name is a bit deceiving! New to Alameda and was in the search for some good cookies. I googled and this place came up. And the Google search pictures of what look like wonderful cookies were displayed. So we walked there. It's in such a beautiful area! The area feels so cozy and we love it so far. However, when I walked in, it was to my disappointment that I was a cookie bar that didn't sell cookies. Lol! Maybe it's just a Alameda thing but I was looking forward to having a warm cookie on a cold day lol nonetheless the ice cream does look amazing. However we haven't tried it yet. Perhaps another day will try when we're in search for ice cream.

To be honest, I wish this place could mail me pints of ice cream. Came here twice during my short stay in alameda and both times got the egg tart ice cream. It literally taste like an egg tart and even has pieces of the pastry in it. It was so good, I'm still thinking about it!We even came here near closing time and the staff was still so nice and let us try the flavors we wanted and didn't try to rush us out.

So happy they opened a location again the scoop shop was always hopping from one location to another. With very cool flavors that changes often it is always worth a visit to get some great ice cream.
