Scoopy Ice Cream Thảo Điền - Ice cream shop in Thao Dien, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City

On a short residential stretch of Nguyễn Đăng Giai, Scoopy Ice Cream Thảo Điền has accumulated one of the stronger reputations of any dessert spot in the neighbourhood — 507 Google reviews at 4.7 stars is not a number that accrues without consistent execution. The shop keeps long hours six days a week, running from 11 AM through to 11 PM, with Monday opening later at 3 PM. That closing time matters: most of Thao Dien's dessert options wind down by early evening, which leaves Scoopy as a reliable destination after dinner at one of the street's surrounding restaurants. The format — scooped ice cream, straightforward and unfussy — suits a neighbourhood that already has plenty of elaborate brunch spots and cocktail bars. Families walking back from the river, expats finishing late at nearby cafes, and locals on evening strolls all find it a natural stop. The longevity of its review count suggests it draws regulars rather than relying on one-time visitors driven by social media buzz. Without a rotating menu of novelty flavours to photograph, the draw is simpler: reliable quality at an accessible price point, in a part of the city that sometimes over-indexes on concept over consistency.
