Scoops Microcreamery @ The Ferry

Scoops Microcreamery churns its own small-batch ice cream, and this is its mainland shop on NC 210, on the approach to the north end of Topsail Island. It’s a family favorite for an after-dinner cone.

• Small-batch ice cream
• Dairy-free options

What stands out

Oreo flavors, especially the Salted Oreo, come up in reviews far more than any other, with Reese’s and butter pecan also named. Dairy-free guests are unusually happy here, with vegan flavors that taste like the real thing. Summer evenings bring a line out the door, but staff keep it moving.
