About Fairfax Scoop

Located at 63 Broadway in Fairfax, California, Fairfax Scoop is a beloved local gem known for its small-batch, fresh-made ice cream that keeps visitors and locals coming back. This charming scoop shop is especially popular among families and travelers heading through Inverness and Point Reyes, often becoming a must-stop destination on their annual trips.

Fairfax Scoop specializes in rich, creamy ice cream crafted with care, offering a variety of rotating flavors that consistently impress. One standout is the chocolate grasshopper-a refreshing, minty delight that balances smooth texture with bold flavor. Another popular choice is cookies and cream, always a hit with both kids and adults. The shop’s commitment to freshness and variety means there’s always something new to discover.

Beyond the ice cream itself, the handmade waffle cones and cups are an experience of their own. Lightly sweet, perfectly crisp, and just the right touch of golden brown, these waffle treats are as enjoyable on their own as they are when paired with a scoop (or two). They do get a bit messy near the end, but that’s part of the fun and charm.

One important thing to note: Fairfax Scoop is a cash-only establishment, so make sure to bring bills in hand before heading over. On sunny days or weekends, it’s common to see a line forming outside. That’s a testament to its reputation, and the wait is widely considered worth every minute.

Whether it’s your first visit or part of a yearly tradition, Fairfax Scoop delivers a nostalgic, welcoming atmosphere paired with standout ice cream. It captures the spirit of the Fairfax community-authentic, laid-back, and full of flavor.
