St. John Scoops

I scream, you scream, we all scream for St. John Scoops! The perfect afternoon stop after a day at the beach, St. John Scoops has a rotating menu of house-made flavors. Our favorites include salted caramel and butter pecan, but the painkiller (with booze) is also a winner.

The amazingly (and adult) Soggy Dollar Painkiller Ice Cream!
