Scoops Scores Again

Scoops isn’t news any more. All ice cream lovers know you can drop in for an always changing panorama of exotic flavors.

The two I chose the other day were relatively ordinary compared to such wild concepts as bacon, kimchi and foie gras ice cream. But what a lovely combination—pale green pistachio-cardamom with a side of vegan red tea (creamy with soy milk).

It was like having ice cream with tea on the side, only the tea was frozen too.

Ice cream is $2.50 a scoop at Scoops, 712 N. Heliotrope Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90029. Tel: (323) 906-2649. Open Monday through Saturday from noon to 10 p.m.  Closed Sunday.
