Passion, and a vision is what makes this NJ ice cream scoop extra special

It's not everyday you find someone as passionate as Lou when it comes to ice cream, owner of Scoop To My Lou in East Brunswick, NJ.

From the moment my family and I walked through the doors, Lou was right there ready to greet us. And I have to tell you, the joy on his face said it all.

Before we even got to the ice cream, I was amazed by how authentic the inside of the shop looked. Lou even had one of those old fashioned claw machines that you can try your luck on with plenty of cool prizes to be won.

But aside from that, the place is just beautifully decorated. I absolutely loved it, and so did my family.

There's even a large sitting area in the back, and special sweet treats for your pup. How awesome is that?

Made on-site

Lou is very passionate about his ice cream, and was even making it when we arrived. How many flavors you ask? Over three dozen of them.

My personal favorite is the peanut butter swirl. My wife, however, was feeling a bit more summery so she tried their popular "shark bait." Both were top choices for us.

Oh, and we didn't forget about our dog, who enjoyed his delicious treat when we got home.
