Desserts

Scoop is my favorite ice cream place! they have “normal” and unique flavors. my favorite flavor is sweet corn and blackberry.
My favorite place in Richmond lol! If you like fresh, homemade ice cream, this will be a place you want to visit. I always get a cone on the side (it's free!). Seating is limited, but there's Scuffletown park around the corner. Be prepared to park on a nearby street since parking is limited. I swear it's worth it lol!

There are many parking lots from which to start your walk to/around Belle Isle. When you hike down, you can find a flat rock to sit and soak up the sun or swim in the James River. You can hike along the river, or do a loop around the island. Message me if you need tips or have questions!
