North Adams’ Sweet Spot
Triple Scoop has been cooling down North Adams since 2015. This family-owned shop at 123-199 American Legion Drive in the Oasis Plaza has become a local favorite during its seasonal run from April through fall each year.
What Makes It Special
With over 24 hard ice cream flavors and classic soft serve options, Triple Scoop stands out in the Northern Berkshires scene. Their April reopening has become an unofficial sign of spring for locals who wait all winter for their favorite treats.
Menu Highlights
The shop offers some unique hard ice cream flavors that keep customers coming back:
- Blue Monstah Cookie
- Campfire Smores
- Fly Fishing Fudge
- Maine Black Bear
- Mississippi Mud Pie
They also feature a rotating “Flavor of the Week” that adds an element of surprise for regular visitors.
For those who want something more elaborate, Triple Scoop is famous for its banana splits:
- Traditional Banana Split
- Triple Scoop Banana Split (their signature creation)
- Upside Down Banana Split
Their menu extends to specialty sundaes like Hot Fudge Brownie, Reeses Pieces, Fluffer Nutter, and Mocha. Rounding things out are frappes made with hard ice cream and classic floats.
The Experience
Customers often mention the friendly staff who create a welcoming atmosphere. The shop prides itself on generous portions, though some note that value perception can vary. For those planning a visit, it’s worth knowing they accept cards for payment, but tips are cash-only.
Triple Scoop represents what makes small New England towns special – a seasonal, family-owned business that’s become part of the community fabric. Whether you’re a local or just passing through the Berkshires, it offers a sweet tradition that’s stood the test of time.
