The Whole Scoop Ice Cream, Hoover

Although The Whole Scoop's freezers are certainly stocked with vanilla ice cream, there's certainly nothing "vanilla" about the shop's 32 different hand-dipped flavors. Hoover residents Sue and David Cohen opened The Whole Scoop over three years ago, and quickly carved out a niche for their shop as a go-to destination for families, teams, and groups in need of frozen treats. Once they're drawn in by the eclectic menu of eight types of sundaes, creamsicle shakes, and fresh-baked cookies, satisfied patrons can show their love by adding photos of themselves to a collage of smiling customers that adorn The Whole Scoop's wall.
