What's in store at the Local Scoop
Come on down and experience the full range of treats waiting for you in our Dawlish parlour.
We are more than just amazing gelato, we are your destination for fresh, warm, wonderful food and barista-style coffee on the Devon coast.
The Whippy Wizard
The sorcerer and his spatula
Behind every great flavour is a touch of magic
Jack is our resident sorcerer with a spatula. He is the creative force in the production kitchen, constantly mixing, testing, and tasting until the recipe is perfect.
He turns simple, raw ingredients into liquid gold. Whether he is balancing the sugars for a new fruit sorbet or hand-rippling a batch of Raspberry Pavlova, Jack creates the magic that ends up in your scoop.
Come rain, shine or global lockdown.
Jack has been locally scooping for nearly six years now.

Deliciously devonshire
Comfort food by the coast
There is nothing quite like the smell of baking brownies to welcome you in from the sea breeze.
Our Dawlish parlour is your cosy hideaway on the coast. It is where we slow things down and turn our artisan gelato into indulgent, sit-down desserts.
Wrap your hands around a steaming mug of barista coffee or tuck into a hot waffle straight from the iron.
Whether you need shelter from a rainy afternoon or just a moment of pure comfort, we have the ovens on and the coffee grinding.
Come in and make yourself at home.
Loaded Biscoff Blondie
The ultimate caramel crunch
This is not your average traybake.
We bake our blondies to be dense and fudgy, then load them with Lotus Biscoff spread and a crunchy biscuit topper.
It is sweet, spiced and begging to be paired with a scoop of our Salted Caramel gelato to balance the richness.
The Waffle & Shake Duo
Why choose just one?
Sometimes you need it all.
Start with a warm, fresh-made waffle topped with Cookies & Cream gelato and crushed Oreos. Then wash it down with a luxury milkshake made from real dairy ice cream.
It is the perfect double act for a serious sweet tooth.
Artisan Barista Coffee
Roasted right and poured with love
We take our coffee as seriously as our gelato.
Enjoy a smooth, barista-poured latte with perfect microfoam art to warm you up after a walk on the coast.
For the true Italian experience, ask us to serve it "Affogato style" poured over a scoop of fresh Vanilla.
Loaded Gelato Nachos
Nachos, but make it sweet
Forget the salsa.
We swap tortilla chips for our signature crispy waffle wafers and load them up with three scoops of artisan gelato. Drenched in chocolate sauce and scattered with toppings, this is a hands-on dipping feast.
We recommend mixing a sharp fruit sorbet with a creamy classic like Vanilla for the ultimate flavour contrast.
Hot Fruit Crumble Pot
Comfort food in a cup.
There is nothing better than hot fruit and cold ice cream.
We layer warm, seasonal fruit crumble with a massive scoop of our signature artisan gelato.
The contrast between the hot, crunchy topping and the melting cream is unbeatable.
The Local Scoop Sundae
Layers of pure happiness.
We build these masterpieces from the bottom up.
Expect layers of artisan gelato, crunchy toppings, sticky sauces and a mountain of whipped cream.
It is a portable party in a cup that is perfect for walking along the seafront.
COME AND SAY HELLO
Your seat by the seaside is waiting
You have seen the menu, now come and taste it for real.
We are located right in the heart of Dawlish, just a stone's throw from the beach. It is the perfect spot to shelter from the sea breeze with a hot coffee or cool down with a cold tub.
