HERE'S THE SCOOP
What makes Get the Scoop different?
We use a proprietary formula developed by us and produced exclusively for Get the Scoop.
It is not a standard commercial base.
Our ice cream is built from the foundation up over 50% cream, structured with egg, and finished with low overrun for density and depth.
Every batch is made in-house.
Every mix-in is churned directly into the ice cream.
Get the Scoop is independently owned and operated by a local Newport family — including our smallest taste-tester, baby Theo.
Nothing is generic.
Everything is deliberate.
Why don’t you offer more flavors?
Because we prioritize quality over quantity.
Broadway: 12 flavors scooped- more by the pint
Thames: 17 flavors scooped- more by the pint
We rotate seasonally and prioritize execution over volume.
Wow this ice cream is so creamy and dense! why?
Because it’s made that way on purpose.
We use our proprietary formula and low overrun — meaning we incorporate minimal air during freezing. Less air creates a denser, more concentrated texture.
Our base is over 50% cream, balanced with egg for structure and silkiness. Combined with low overrun, the result is a scoop that feels heavier and more substantial.
A Double is approximately a ½ pint
A Kiddie is approximately a ¼ pint.
It appears more compact because it contains more actual ice cream — not added air.
Dense by design..
I have allergies. Can I eat here?
All flavors are produced on the same machine.
Cross-contact is possible.
