A Shockoe Bottom bakery owner has dished out her new ice cream venture on – fittingly – Strawberry Street.
Morgan Botwinick, owner of Whisk bakery, last week opened Scoop at 403 Strawberry St., a space that previously was the longtime home of movie rental store Video Fan.
The ice cream shop opened with more than a dozen flavors in its freezers, including Rhubarb Crisp, Croissants & Jam and Mint Cookies & Cream.
In addition to classic cups and cones, Scoop also has some nontraditional options, with custom ice cream sandwiches and profiterole sundaes made inside a puff pastry.

It’s also taking a page from brewery menus by offering flights of different ice cream flavors.
“They’re three scoops of ice cream and three cookie wedges,” Botwinick said.
Scoop’s ice cream is made in-house and its pastries are baked at Whisk, which remains open as usual. Single scoops start at $4, with ice cream sandwiches at $5.25, and flights and sundaes around $6.
Botwinick said she would be interested in wholesaling Scoop’s ice cream in the future.
Scoop is open from noon to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, and noon to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
On the other side of Scoop’s building is Idle Hands Bread Co., which opened last summer.
