Take the kids for a walk on tree-lined 25th Avenue on Spokane’s South Hill and treat them to a fabulous, hot, made-on-the-spot Belgian waffle topped with shop-made ice cream, fruits, and whipped cream.

The Scoop is a small waffle and ice cream shop that is quickly developing a reputation for their special recipe for Belgian Liege waffles and ice creams made to order with liquid nitrogen to produce a particularly fine texture with small crystals. The process is quite fun to watch, too.

The Scoop also sells great organic locally roasted coffee, and you can have them make you a waffle sandwich with cheese and sausage drizzled with maple syrup for lunch. The Scoop also has a food truck cruising around Spokane, and you can check their website to see the locations it will visit.
