Behind The Scene

Why Scoop & Score?

The concept for Scoop and Score was born in the spring of 2016 when my wife, Angie, was pregnant and craving her favorite ice cream from our hometown—Graeter’s. We tried several local ice creams, but none could compare to Graeter's. I reached out to the Graeter's team to inquire about a local shop in the Austin area, only to learn that there were no plans for expansion so far. After hearing Angie express her desire to return to restaurant management for years, I had a lightbulb moment: why not open our own ice cream and coffee shop in Cedar Park, Texas, serving fantastic coffee alongside Graeter’s ice cream? I started negotiations with Graeter's owners, and after a few weeks of discussions and some persuasion, they agreed to allow us to serve their incredible ice cream. Our shop would soon become one of only four non-Graeter’s locations in the United States licensed to offer their ice cream, which has been around since 1870. Once the details were finalized, I approached Angie—albeit nervously—while she was still pregnant, to ask her to handle the design and construction of the shop. I wanted her to quit her job afterward to manage the shop, without taking a salary for a year or two. Initially, Angie said no. For several months, she continued to decline. However, during this time, we sampled coffee from various local suppliers and fell in love with Cuvee Coffee, deciding their excellent flavor and commitment to quality would be a perfect fit for our shop. I then enlisted the help of my talented friend, Dijon, an artist who not only created our logo but also came up with the name “Scoop & Score” almost instantly, saying, "An ice cream and coffee shop across from a football stadium? It should be called Scoop & Score!" After many months of “no,” Angie finally took a leap of faith and said “yes.” Since then, we’ve been on a wild ride.

Today, we are proud to be recognized as one of the highest-rated dessert shops in the nation and the top one in Texas. We owe our success to our amazing team—past, present, and future—our catering and retail customers, and our loyal supporters, both on social media and in person. Thank you all so much!
