Scoop and Crumb

Came to Brighton with my girlfriend for a few days as a nice little holiday to enjoy and celebrate Valentines! While walking around searching for a nice place to treat ourselves to, we found Scoop and Crumb! We enjoyed this place so much we came back the next morning for more! I can't think of a single thing that I didn't like during my experience, we got served the first time by a nice young lad who was really positive and did his job very well, he was smiling and believe me, just like other stores in Brighton, we noticed that the customer service in Scoop and Crumb was amazing, just like the others! Everything has a great reasonable price, everything was quick and delicious! During my second visit a woman came to our table and told me that my cheesy toasty may take a while, she was really nice and I could tell she was sorry, she felt so bad but it was only like a 2 minute wait. If I ever come back to Brighton I will definitely come back to this place! It's so clean, friendly staff, one of the best places we went to! If you're reading this staff, I want to say thank you! It was all lovely 😊

Fantastic groupon deal. We had cake, icecream, and grilled sandwiches for £12 (for both of us, so £6 each). The icecream was amazing but the grilled sandwiches blow it away, I love eating the bean and cheese grilled sandwich, best ever!!

Very good selection of ice cream and delicious desserts. The honeycomb brownie was delicious. Good facilities also.

Nice place for lunch, it was quiet, food was good. And ice cream was nice too.

Excellent ice cream place! We had sundaes, which were delicious. We also had coffee, which was good. Prices are reasonable, similar to those in smaller seaside towns. Service was quick and friendly. It is clearly a popular place, and is only a minute from the seafront. The toilets (up two floors) were clean and nicely fitted out. The ground floor looks small, but there is much more seating on the floor above. Highly recommended - we will be back!

Scoop and Crumb is a happy ice cream shop with a good variety of flavors. Other desserts seemed quite good, and large portioned, but we only went for ice cream. I would recommend the coconut and honeycomb, and you can try all the other flavors. This is real ice cream, you can taste the natural flavors. It's not artificially sweet. It's a reasonable price for one scoop in a cone. The place itself is happy; there were a lot of kids on Saturday during the day - if you want to avoid that! It's a good escape from any gray skies with the vibrant, cheery decor.

The best waffle place in Brighton!! Really Great cakes to!! The staff are really friendly and welcoming making you feel comfortable. Really good prices as took the family thinking it would cost lots like some of the other places. Will definitely recommend and have already visited again 😁😁

Revised review... Has obviously changed hands and is no longer as good as it was. Mediocre ice cream and awful flavours though the waffles are still good. Over-stretched staff doing their best. 30 minute wait as 2 staff struggled to fulfill orders, albeit with manners and good humour Previously my favourite ice-cream shop in Brighton: no more.

Anyone fancy sharing a Knickerboxer Glory or a Banana Split? Okay, I'll meet you at Scoop & Crumb. A two minute walk from the sea-front and Brighton Pier, Scoop & Crumb is a vintage-looking ice cream parlour tastefully decorated inside and out with pastel colours and cute wallpaper. They make all the ice-cream with locally sourced milk and serve their tongue-tickling Sundaes in retro glasses. If you can't manage a whole one - and let's be honest, any self-respecting Yelper should be able to by now!! - they also serve individual scoops of ice-cream. Flavour-wise, we're talking everything from the standard vanilla, strawberry and chocolate to plum crumble, christmas pudding and rhubard and custard. Yummy.

Scoop & Crumb is a wonderful ice cream parlour in the Lanes. I am not an ice cream fan, but I managed to find something I liked each time my friends insisted on coming here. I remember the prices being a bit rough, but the decor and ambiance make it a lovely place to spend an hour chatting with friends. Go upstairs if you can! The decor is even cooler, and the view is great.

Scoop and Crumb caused quite the stir when it opened a couple of years ago, and it's easy to see why: they offer amazing ice-cream sundaes for very reasonable prices, in a cute set-up and great location. There's little here to fuss about, except for, again, the fact that it's popularity means it's now nigh-on impossible to get a seat at peak times. Still, if you can get in, you'll enjoy it immensely: don't miss it! The choices here are what make Scoop and Crumb so brilliant: there are over 20 sundaes to choose from, or you can mix and match and create your own ice-cream delight, with their huge variety of flavours, toppings, and so on. The sundaes are always hefty, filled to the brim with everything you're looking for, and for these prices at quite a snip too! You rarely pay more than £4-£5 for a dessert that looks like ti could feed two: a great value-for-money. What ties this all together is the lovely little set-up here, over a couple of floors: all very Scandinavian, with lots of simple pastels and bright, open windows, creating an effortless openness in which it feels good to stuff your face. The smell of Scoop and Crumb is also amazing: a constant, sweet mixture of different ice-creams and the like, really bubble-gummy and lovely. If you like ice-cream (and come on, who doesn't?), come here for a great experience!

One word: DELICIOUS. they have amazing sundaes. Easily share-able but I probably wouldn't share. Haha. I loved getting ice cream from here on a cone walking along the Brighton streets. I loved the decorations inside as well. If you want ice cream, this is the place to go.

Best. Ice Cream. EVER. I could finish my review here, but that would just be mean... I found Scoop & Crumb on Yelp last Saturday, and we decided that sun + beach + sea should equal a trip to get a sundae. We left it till the last day of our short break, and headed over on Monday lunchtime. It's not a huge place, but feels light and airy due to the classic ice-cream parlour style displays, huge windows and some seriously funky chairs. The menu - promised to be the biggest sundae menu in the UK - is impressive. There are too many to take in, but it's fun to spend a good 15 minutes just choosing which ice cream to have. S&C also do great waffles and cakes if you'd rather go down that route as well. Plus, there's fresh soup and Scandinavian style open sandwiches. I can't remember the names of the sundaes we had (it's annoying that S&C doesn't have a website!), but they were amazing. Mine was vanilla ice cream, hot chocolate fudge sauce, toasted marshmallow syrup, mini marshmallows and whipped cream. Lordy. It sounds sickly, but the quality of the ingredients mean that the result was just fantastic. Great ice cream (made on site), and overall, a lovely combination. My friend Michelle had a cinnamon and gingerbread concoction, which I slight envy over. The cinnamon ice cream was to die for, and the crunchy gingerbread biscuits were a great addition. S&C isn't cheap (or fast), but to be served such a beautifully presented dish of such good quality that tastes amazing, it's well worth it.

Loved it. Had a sweet cheese monster toastie and a White hot Choc. Layla had latte. Thumbs up all round and only 8 quid.

Had the pleasure of sampling this gelateria and wasn't disappointed. The place itself is decked out in pastel colours and furniture over two floors. I ordered an a coconut ice-cream. This however had an extra dimension to it, a hint of lemongrass I think which really added to the flavour. The better half had a Rhubarb and Custard that was suitably tart and sweet. Great ice cream selection with caramel, oreos, and cinnamon and ginger being on the menu. Aside from ice-cream they do sandwiches which I didn't have the chance to check out.

The best scoop of ice cream I've ever had. Real talk. Food pet peeves: eating a lukewarm meal and wasting hard-earned calories on chemical-laden, generic and overly sugared treats. I cannot fathom eating a two day old donut from the grocery, i just can't. If you wanna high five me on this point, then go here safe with the knowledge you'll have no regrets. I got a single scoop of fresh strawberry, and it was just the right amount of tart, sweet and refreshing. Creamy, but not heavy and packed with fresh strawberry chunks. God what a difference real and good-quality ingredients make. Husband got the fresh banana with chocolate chunks (similar to B&J's Chunky Monkey) and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Line was out the door at 4p on a Saturday, but moved quickly and we had our scoops and were headed to the shore with cones in hand in less than 10 minutes. A must do during summer weekend or day trip.

Ice Cream heaven! In the summer my flat mate and I became addicted to Scoop and Crumb and I dread to think how much money we spent here! Located at the very edge of the South Lanes, near the seafront, it's just way too convenient, whether on your way to or from the beach. After a a hard day of sunbathing, there is not better place to seek refreshment! The decor is vibrant and cutesy, just as it should be. The range of flavours is incredible: they have all the usuals...vanilla, strawberry and chocolate, as well as many more unusual flavours, such as Blueberry, White chocolate and Watermelon. As well as dairy ice-creams, they have yummy sorbets, with flavours including coconut, mango and raspberry. As the name implies, you can choose form a variety of toppings- jazz up your ice-cream with nuts, hundreds and thousands or good old chocolate chips! Mmmm. In true American ice-cream parlour style, there are also sundaes available. The only problem I have found with this place, is that its way too easy to get carried away with multiple scoops and all sorts of toppings and sauces...before you know it, you're faced with an ice-cream the size of your head and a bill that will make you wince!

Legit gelato place! I got the coffeebocker which was quite good (too much whip cream though lol). The others got scoops of gelato and sundaes. They said that the toffee ice cream is good. It's a cool place to hangout and chill, but it's quite pricey. I spent over 5 pounds for my dessert... My wallet was crying a bit. But oh well, 5 pounds well spent. Probably will be back to try the other flavors. yeeee boi

Disclaimer: I went to Brighton for a "last weekend" with someone before we took off for different continents, and there's a good chance that the combination of sun, sea, and general bliss has colored my review. That said, my gingerbread ice cream was absolutely perfect. Sweet but not cloying, creamy but not heavy, spiced but not overwhelmingly so. Eating this by Brighton Beach remains one of my favorite food memories, so there you have it. Go! Now!

Our first visit to Brighton, to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday, so treats galore was the order of the day. We stumbled upon this delightful little parlour just as we were talking about a bit of lunch, and are still thanking our angels for bringing us to it..... it was awesome! Fabulous sandwiches, toasties, milk shakes, lattes and then the sundaes - oh my word! My daughter and I shared a Hot Fudge Chocolate Stacker (plenty big enough for 2, but I shall have one all to myself next time), and my son had a chocolate orange sundae. They even added some special foil decorations for my daughter's special celebrations. Lovely staff! You HAVE to try them!!

I popped by last weekend in my attempt to try all the good ice cream shops in Brighton, and was waiting in line when I realized... actually none of the flavors were particularly interesting or inventive that day. Previous reviews have mentioned gingerbread (swoon!) and banana split, but on this particular day, all the flavors were run of the mill or common combinations (e.g. chocolate and banana). I didn't end up getting anything as I'd rather come back and try this place when they do have something festive on offer, and I will update this review at such a time, but I thought it was worth weighing in to say that sometimes they just don't have anything new or exciting -- the kind of thing that a foodie might be uniquely seeking out to try.

We had the cheese and ham toastie, absolutely excellent, great quality ingredients. Then a slice of moist orange cake and yummy toffee cake. The tea and coffee were large and delicious and we topped the meal off with some ice cream. The service was genuine and friendly and professional. Highly impressed and we will return.

Three words: coconut ice cream. With chocolate ice cream. Phooey! That's more than three words. Ok, obviously this ice cream is going to need more than a few words. Scoop&Crumb is as delectable a place as their ice cream, the white, lime green and pink create such a light, bright space to really enjoy their deserts. To me it's like somewhere that the girls from Sex and the City girls could happily sit besides the cast of Grease- they have managed that near impossible thing of updating retro and giving a new twist. So the ice-cream is more expensive than a ready -made cone...it's more for a good reason..try their coconut ice cream and see if you don't agree.

This is a great ice cream parlour, offering wonderful ice creams, and sundaes for anyone willing to pay - and even for some who aren't! -. My friends and I came here once and they managed to persuade the friendly staff to let them try a load of free samples.

Cutesy ice cream parlour Scoop n Crumb is a fairly new addition to Brighton's South Lanes area, but a very welcome one. The pastel colours, adorable name, not to mention array of ice creams, make it pretty irresistible. There're all your usual flavours plus some rarer ones and sorbets, as well as an arrary of toppings. Whether you fancy a retro sundae or a takeaway cone, they wont disappoint here, the only downer being that it's not cheap - though it's perfectly reasonable if you keep it simple. The only downer is the slightly sterile upstairs - boring photo prints on the walls, hard seats, and lots of white - I like the retro thing, but cosy it up a bit and I'd soon replace coffee houses with Scoop & Crumb trips!

So disappointing. I live with an allergy to nuts, which limits both what and where I can eat. It is extremely difficult to find nut-free desserts; most ice creams are produced in facilities that handle nuts. Before visiting Brighton for the very first time (all the way from Canada), I researched nut-free food options in the city. I was excited to discover on Scoop and Crumb's website that the ice cream that the establishment makes and serves is (supposedly) produced in a nut-free environment! In its 'Allergy Information' section on its website, Scoop and Crumb declares: "We do not use nuts in the production of our ice creams and sorbets." (Source: http://scoopandcrumb.com/wordpress/?page_id=157#.Vb0f0Isk_zI) Positively thrilled at the prospect of an ice cream parlour that accommodates nut allergies, I put Scoop and Crumb on my 'must see' list for my Brighton holiday. I arrived at Scoop and Crumb this afternoon and excitedly scanned the ice cream display. I was shocked to discover that featured was the pistachio flavour, bright green and full of nuts. My heart further sank when I noticed a jar of walnuts sitting atop the ice cream cooler. I asked the two individuals working behind the counter about the presence of nuts in the ice cream. Neither of the two staff members seemed to have any idea that Scoop and Crumb's website declares that its ice cream is nut-free. One pointed to the two flavours in the ice cream cooler that contain actual nuts, and the other admitted that all of Scoop and Crumb's ice cream, including the flavours with nuts in them, are made in the same ice cream machines. As a result, the staff member continued, any ice cream flavour might contain at least traces of nuts -- if not actual nuts. One staff member offered to scoop my ice cream choice with a utensil that had not been used in the other nut-filled flavours, showing a total lack of understanding of allergen cross-contamination. The same staff member had just told me that all of Scoop and Crumb's ice cream flavours, including nut flavours, are made on the same equipment. Using a different scoop to serve the ice cream after the fact would do nothing to alleviate the risk of traces of nuts incurred during the production of the ice cream. This sort of ignorance might perhaps be expected in some restaurants, but certainly not in an establishment with a published allergy policy as detailed as Scoop and Crumb's. I pointed out that Scoop and Crumb's website claims that their ice cream was produced in a nut-free environment, but that that was not actually the case. The staff members' responses were apathetic. To make a special trip to Scoop and Crumb solely because its ice cream was supposedly nut-free only to discover that in fact, this was not true, was quite disappointing. But, more importantly, the discrepancy between Scoop and Crumb's 'Allergy Information' section on its website and its actual business practices is a serious safety threat to potential nut-allergic customers. The selection of ice cream flavours, the presentation, and the location all seemed quite good. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to leave without enjoying one of Scoop and Crumb's sweet treats. Potential customers with food allergies, beware.

Oh how I have missed you. I spent a summer in Brighton with a few dozen friends and we still reminisce about this place. I think we found this place with only 3 weeks left of Brighton and came here probably 8 times. The ice cream is delicious and the sundaes are just fun. A friend of mine tried to conquer the 8 ball... fail, obviously. It didn't look that big, but it destroyed her. The upstairs is very modern and cute, but you're pretty screwed if you can't find a place to sit. I wish we had something like this in Orange County.

Excellent cafe, a good find on our recent trip to the city. It wasn't the weather for the icecream but we loved the fantastic open sandwiches. We had the Locally Cured Gravadiax Salmon... very nice. I read on the internet they also do smoked duck with fresh orange which wasn't on offer when we were there :( One star knocked off for the lack of open sandwich choice and the, warm, hot chocolate. I'd happily go back, and dare say will when we're there next.

This retro ice cream parlour located at the end of East St is a great find! Not only do they serve a range of hot dogs, toasties, Scandinavian open sandwiches and baguettes, they also have over 50 sundaes to choose from. If a sundae is not your style you can get a scoop or more in a bowl or a cone to have in or take away. That's not all, they have a range of locally sourced cakes that look great (the toffee cake being my favourite) as well as an array of Swedish products such as salty liquorice, rye crackers, jams, crisps, soups and even baby formula. I asked a staff member out of curiosity about the Swedish connection and found out that one of the co-owner is in fact Swedish. They also offered a try of any of the flavours from the cabinet and told me some interesting facts. The made-on-the-premises ice cream is only 8% fat, which is 4 x less than Ben & Jerry's, it is technically a gelato ice cream even though the texture seems more substantial and creamy and they are all made using locally sourced organic milk. Another interesting fact is that there is a no nuts policy in the shop or kitchen due to people suffering from nut allergies. Sorry pistachio lovers. The upstairs seating area is great for families and kids as well as couples on a quiet day. This is a popular place so if you are going at a peak time, there may be quite a queue. I can understand why, it is by far the best ice cream I have tasted.

Visited Scoop & Crumb to taste and buy ice cream. A delightful bright and friendly venue. The many delicious and unusual flavours made it difficult to choose. My only way of describing the ice cream flavours at Scoop and Crumb is 'Beyond and ice cream experience. Look forward to our next visit to Brighton.

Scoop and Crumb is a charming ice-cream parlour/ café that attempts to bring a little bit of Sweden to the Brighton seaside. Located perfectly in East Street, Scoop and Crumb is ideal for a sundae treat after a leisurely stroll along the beach, or great for catching up over a cup of coffee and slice of cake after a hard day's shopping. This unusual café with its retro style interior and abundance of seating really is a lovely place to settle down for a bite to eat with plenty to choose from. Scoop and Crumb's incredibly tempting menu includes a selection of Swedish inspired open style sandwiches, and homemade soups, to warm you up on those chilly Brighton afternoons. Alternatively, if it's something sweet you're craving, then the dessert menu here will not disappoint. Claiming to have the largest selection of sundaes in the UK, Scoop and Crumb is well worth the visit to indulge your sweet tooth. With its vast range of delicious handmade ice-creams (made on the premises), you can chose to tuck into a 'Bucket of worms' (I know, a scary name, but a yummy treat for the kiddies), or freshly made toasted waffles, with as many scoops of ice cream as you can handle. Although the ice creams may be a little on the expensive side, you do get a great variety of flavours to choose from, making this place great for a little (or big) naughty treat.
