Scoop DeVille stands out. The storefront and store interior include shades of vibrant pinks supported by white and black. If you’re looking to ignore the frozen yogurt trend and consume a rich ice cream treat, head to Scoop DeVille. It’s centrally located along Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, right near the shopping district.

Scoop DeVille is a pleasant relief on a stagnant summer day. Though the storefront is relatively small, the store maximizes the space, which includes a few tables. The vintage-style interior is also worth noting. Aside from being pink, it’s got a 1950s theme. The building also houses Maron’s Chocolates, which has its own counter. (These delectables are used as ingredients in some of the specialty Scoop DeVille ice cream selections.)

Adults are amused with this shop because it’s a complete break from modern stress and the busy neighborhood that contains it. Kids stop crying when they enter Scoop DeVille’s and stare in complete amazement at the imaginative shop atmosphere.

Scoop DeVille features an expansive three-column menu above the registers. To make things easier, they’ve also made paper menus available for customers in line. The possible 20 million flavor combinations can present an overwhelming amount of options to even the biggest Cold Stone Creamery pro; fortunately, Scoop DeVille offers some suggested specialties with individually-marked pricing. Coffee lovers will find several tempting menu items; the Coffee Tiramisu tastes absolutely as advertised and is strongly recommended.

Scoop DeVille can have long lines, especially when the weather just starts to warm up or when it’s a summer scorcher. To avoid a wait, you can call your order in ahead using the link on the Web site—using AllMenus, you can review and select from the menu and schedule a time for pick-up. This is particularly useful for busy professionals looking for a lunch time treat.

HelloPhiladelphia Tip: Customers should be warned: Scoop DeVille does not tolerate cell phone use. You’ll need to end your phone conversation before getting anywhere near the counter. Even hushed, private conversations taking place long after the conversation is complete will still earn glares from some of the staff, so it’s best to turn off the phone. Scoop DeVille also creates moist, delicious cakes—with free office delivery—offering another convenience to local professionals in need of a break
