The Scoop

This cute ice cream shop hidden amongst the tree-lined streets in the South Hill will bring you back to those elementary school days as the sweet smell homemade waffle cones drift out of its doors. Grab a seat outside underneath twinkling lights while you listen to some live music on their patio facing Wilson Elementary.

The Scoop has also recently introduced a mint green ice cream truck for special events.

Mary Lou’s Milk Bottle

You can’t miss this shop, it’s literally shaped as a milk bottle. The neon lights and retro-checkered floors let you know that you’re in for a real treat. Burgers, milkshakes, and ice cream are the Milk Bottle’s specialties. With their local flair and diner theme, it’ll be worth the run for their milkshakes.
