Hard Scoop Ice Cream — Classic Flavors by the Scoop

Sometimes nothing beats a classic scoop. Our hard scoop ice cream is rich, creamy, and served just the way it should be — by the scoop, in a cup or cone, with flavors that never go out of style.

From familiar favorites to rotating selections, hard scoop ice cream is a timeless Merla-Mae staple.

Classic Favorites & Rotating Flavors

Our hard scoop lineup features a mix of classic favorites and rotating flavors throughout the season. Whether you stick with something familiar or try something new, every scoop is served fresh and generously.

Flavor availability changes regularly, so there’s always something different waiting at the counter.

Cup or Cone — Your Choice

Enjoy your hard scoop ice cream in a cup, classic cone, or our housemade waffle dish, depending on how you like it. Keep it simple with a single scoop, stack it up for a bigger treat, or serve it in a warm, crisp waffle dish for something a little extra.

Classic, straightforward, and always satisfying — with just enough flexibility to make it your own.

Take It Further — Rolled Toppings on Your Scoop

Want to dress up your scoop? Our hard scoop ice cream can also be finished with rolled toppings for a little extra texture and flavor.

From classic sprinkles to crushed cookies and other rotating options available in-store, it’s an easy way to turn a simple scoop into something a little more indulgent — without overcomplicating it.

Rolled toppings are added fresh to order, just the way you like it.
