The Outside Scoop

The Outside Scoop is a locally owned mobile ice cream van that brings handcrafted, small-batch ice cream to the streets of Ames. Every scoop is made from scratch using original recipes and high-quality ingredients, served in a homemade waffle cone with a smile.

You’ll find the truck at community events, neighborhood pop-ups, and local festivals, offering a mix of classic favorites and creative seasonal flavors. The experience is fun, friendly, and full of flavor. It’s a local favorite for anyone craving something sweet.
