About us:

Scoops On Tap is a small business experiencing exponential growth, and we’re looking for passionate ice cream enthusiasts to be part of our team!

We specialize in super premium ice creams, currently producing flavors in four unique categories: signature (dairy, non-infused), spirit infused (including our specialty – craft beer ice cream), plant based (vegan) and keto. Our passion is creating exciting, high quality ice creams that everyone can enjoy.

We’ve made a name for ourselves throughout Southern California as a mobile business at street fairs, farmers markets, craft brewery popups and big events such as the L.A. County Fair, The Renaissance Pleasure Faire, and the 626 Night Markets.

Our ice creams have been featured on TV, Radio, and Print organizations: Including Bloomberg, Business Insider, Spectrum News, ABC 7, LA Times, Men’s Health, LAist and more! In 2022 we took home 10 gold medals and 2 silver medals at the LA International Dairy Competition. Our plant based ice creams were named top 10 must try in the nation by Business Insider, and our keto ice creams were named top 9 in the nation by Men’s Health.

We have a production facility in Montclair where we produce ice cream for events, retail outlets, wholesale clients, and nationwide shipping. In 2022, we opened our first brick and mortar store in Covina, expanding the business even further with exciting new opportunities for creativity.
