We went twice in 2 days. Lol The first day, we caught them just before closing, and the young fellow seemed new to the job, but he was super helpful and didn't make us feel like an inconvenience. I let him know I have a peanut allergy, and he took care of my order. My sundae had cookie dough bites and oreos. It was absolutely delicious. This may be our new Williamsburg ice cream shop!

The staff here is absolutely incredible. They are so helpful and it is so inspiring and amazing to have such a great group of young people who are willing to work hard and do it with great customer service. I specifically would like to mention a young lady name Bailee Who went above and beyond to help me with my large order. This is the best ice cream place around.

Big Scoop is a hidden gem! The shop is welcoming and extremely clean. We were greeted by two friendly young people who looked like they actually enjoyed their job! Both were polite, patient and accommodating while waiting on us. Big Scoop offers generous portions and the ice cream was amazing- creamy and flavorful. I can’t wait to visit them again the next time I’m in the area!

After doing some research about local ice cream options we decided to check out the Big Scoop. They have a wide variety of options. We’re a family of six and we ordered Italian ice, soft serve, and milkshakes. Everyone loved it. Prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were great. Most importantly the staff was kind and helpful, letting everyone try flavors.

We came here after a day at the beach. They did not disappoint. Big scoops of ice cream. We will come again if we are in the area.

Best New Ice Cream place in Williamsburg. The flavors change up every so often and it's nice they have different things to choose from. Soft serve, hard ice cream and Italian ice. The ice is finer than the other local places. Everyone is very nice and they let you try multiple flavors before you have to make a decision. They also have a loyalty program.

We were hunting for some ice cream to cool us from the inside out. Never been here before, but it was a very nice little surprise. Very good ice cream, and the service was friendly and helpful. There's a large parking lot, but you still might have to park a little ways away. The place is accessible to all, games for the kids.

An amazing local find! This ice cream parlor has everything by you could want; unique hard scoop flavors, multiple Italian ice options and even soft serve! Prices were reasonable and sizes generous. We got kid sizes (cone picture) and a small (cup picture) which was easily enough for me and my husband to share. And the staff were kind and quick. Next time I’m in Williamsburg I’ll be coming back!
