My husband and I are huge fans of cookiebar scoop shop ice cream, ever since we first heard about them at Yelp event years and years ago. So when it came to choosing a local ice cream vendor to cater for our wedding day, we knew to go to cookiebar first.
Placing our order was super easy. From their website, we were able to inquire via email. We gave them our date, our flavor choices (minimum 25 pcs per flavor), and decided on which catering style worked best for us. We could choose for them to be there onsite with the catering cart, for them to drop off the cart, or for them to just drop off the ice cream. We opted to just have them drop off the ice cream. You can even choose to have them create personalized labels for you if you want to go the extra mile!
The only minor inconvenience was that they don't have a phone number for the public. We could only contact them via email, which wasn't super helpful for talking through questions or for giving to our coordinators. Outside of catering, I also wish they had a phone number available so we could call in to the check what flavors are available in the store that day since they often rotate flavors.
Besides the catering, we love visiting cookiebar scoop shop whenever we're craving ice cream while in alameda. Even on rainy days! The shop is small so it's definitely more of a grab and go space. We typically go later in the evening as an after dinner dessert so we hardly encounter long lines. But when we have, the line moves quickly and their staff is so patient, even if there are many flavors that you want to try.
Some favorite flavors I recommend: banana oreo, strawberry oreo, mango sticky rice, and circus animal cookie - all winning choices!
