Ice cream is a must to combat the sweltering Texas summer heat, and nothing beats the real stuff – AKA homemade with love as a main ingredient. Happy Scoops in Burnet is the epitome of small-town charm, and all of its ice cream flavors are churned in-house.
Happy Scoops is the definition of unassuming, hiding in a downtown Burnet storefront easily missed if you’re not actively seeking it out. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled, because this family-owned ice cream shop more than makes up in flavor what its underwhelming exterior lacks.
