Their goal in starting Scoops, was to have a place comfortable enough to be a hang out for the local youth, yet inviting to young families, seniors, and pass through tourist crowds as well.

We were up in Payson on vacation for spring break. And after a good hike and dinner we decided to go get something sweet. I can tell you now that Scoops is just an average ice cream store. Nothing special, but it isn’t that bad. While we were there, the ice cream that are in big tubs, said DREYER’S. So obviously, the ice cream isn’t home made, it is a name-​brand, made in a factory, average ice cream, which was disappointing. I also think the place is a «bit» overpriced for store-​bought ice cream. They charge $ 4 for a double scoop, when you could just go to the Walmart in town and buy your very own thing of DREYER’S ice cream! They also have other things such as different types of coffee, shakes, and smoothies. So, overall, the ice cream is average, but nothing special. That’s why it deserves three stars.

Yummmmmm!!! Stopped in by chance just to grab a coffee, and was pleasantly surprised. The guys behind the counter were very nice and patient explaining what everything was. Ordered a «coco loco» espresso drink — deeeeeelish!!! Also, the ambiance was fun and laid back, which I really liked. They have a couch and varied tables for adults, and also little ones. Loved the artwork on the walls as well. Will DEFINITELY be back here!

Scoops has delicious ice cream in a huge variety of flavours, great coffee and the staff is always very pleasant. I love the cozy lounge ambiance, if you choose to sit there and enjoy. This is a definite «must check out» place!
Thanks Scoops!

This place is really cute and friendly. We went for a drive up to Payson and stopped here for some hot beverages and a treat. I had their pumpkin spice tea and it satisfied my pumpkin spice craving without any caffeine or sugar guilt. I then offset that wholesomeness by ordering a scoop of the fudge brownie ice cream to share with my hubby. It was to die for. One scoop was huge so it was plenty for the two of us. Nice little pitstop.

Just based on their coffee, I would give them 2, but they were quite friendly and I was not able to taste their ice cream.

Locally owned and operated ice cream shop in Payson that serves delicious ice cream and is also a coffee shop. The seating area includes comfortable couches as well as tables and chairs and I even noticed that they have a large group party room in the back.
I’m glad we found this place and we will definitely return.

This is the only place I stop for ice cream. The peanut buttercup is a dream for peanut butter lovers. Staff is friendly. Bonus, they accept donations for the area Humane Society.

Scoops is the ice cream and coffee gem of Payson! My husband and I always stop here when we are in town to get our fix. The owners and staff are friendly and personable. If you want to support an amazing local business and experience Payson to its fullest… Make sure to stop by Scoops!

Another good find in Payson. Locally owned by a nice Christian couple. Good coffee there as well as ice cream. They always have a variety of different flavors available and you can try them all before you buy. Check them out when your in town.

Stopped in here as an end to our road trip north and I’m glad we did. The place was very quaint and homey with free wi-​fi and lots of options from ice cream to coffee and a combination of the two. We both got a Wake Up Shake which was an ice cream shake with espresso and was delicious. You pick your own ice cream flavour and I went with Dutch Chocolate. Looks like a great place to hang out with a lot of couches and clean enough bathrooms. I wish there were more ice cream + espresso places around me like this!

This plays blows starbucks away as far as coffee is concerned, you also get a punch card to use for each visit, the employees are always friendly and remember my drink order on most occasions. Great coffee shop, I have not tried their ice cream yet… but I am sure its just as good.

Whoa best latte of my life… and in Payson! Monin syrup and real chocolate for mochas, unlike Dutch bros which lost my respect after I found they use Torani chocolate flavored syrup. Ew. Back to Scoops. Great beans, barista knew what she was doing (great foam on the latte) and they were super friendly. I had a small latte, one pump dark chocolate, one pump coconut. I will drive from Phoenix for that again. Chalkboard tables! So fun. Cute décor, nice atmosphere.

Waaaaaaayyyyyyyyy overrated. No different form any other ice cream or coffee place. A little pricey for what it is as well. But the girls who work there are nice and they have a lot of choices so it’s…ok.
