About The Scoop on 47th

The Scoop on 47th is the other ice cream stop on the Lakeside block, and the more idiosyncratic one: part ice cream counter, part antique and media shop, which means you can browse records while someone scoops (Destination Duluth, accessed 2026-08-13).

That combination is characteristic of how the Lakeside strip has redeveloped since 2016. Rather than filling with chains, the block picked up a run of owner-operated businesses that each do two or three things, which is what makes four blocks of storefronts able to support a neighborhood with no supermarket.

It sits near 47th Avenue East, a short walk from Amity Coffee, Crank and Dasher, and Sammy's Pizza, and about a five minute drive from Lester Park. Hours are seasonal.

Good to know: ice cream counter, antiques, records and media, seasonal hours.

Hours and menus change. Confirm directly with the business before you go.
