What Makes a Scoop Worth the Trip

Marianne's Ice Cream

Over 20 rotating flavors from one of California's most beloved local creameries. Oregon blackberry, Heaven, strawberry sorbet, coffee dark chocolate, and more.

Sundaes and Banana Splits

Built to order with whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry on top. The kind of dessert that makes the table next to you jealous.

Milkshakes and Drinks

Thick milkshakes, fresh juices, and specialty drinks. Great for the whole family, whatever the occasion.

Pints to Go

Take your favorite flavor home. Quart containers available in the display case so the good stuff doesn't have to end when you leave.

A Neighborhood Shop, Built with Heart

Happy Scoops opened in South San Jose with one goal: give the neighborhood a genuinely great ice cream shop. Owner Alan took over the Cahalan Ave space and filled it with warmth, color, and over 20 flavors of Marianne's ice cream sourced from one of California's most respected local creameries.

The shop is clean, the prices are fair, and the staff โ€” including Matthew and the rest of the crew โ€” take real pride in making every visit memorable. Whether you're after a single cone, a loaded banana split, or a quart to take home, Happy Scoops is the kind of place you come back to every week.
