Scooping Today

Blue Bell hand-dipped ice cream, scooped to order. The lineup rotates, so ask the crew what's in the case today. Cones, cups, or stacked high however you like it.

The Coffee Bar

Cold-Brewed
& Iced

Not just scoops. Pull up to the coffee side for something cold-brewed and smooth, perfect alongside a cone or on its own.

The Local Scoop Shop

Family-Owned,
Right Downtown

Locals Ice Cream Shop sits in the heart of Surf City, a short walk from the sand. It is a family-owned spot built on a simple idea: hand-dipped ice cream, friendly faces, and a swirl worth the trip.

Whether you are coming off the beach or strolling New River Drive, the counter is ready with a scoop, a smoothie, or a cold-brewed coffee. Pull up and stay a while.
