Scoupe DeVille
With its wonderfully punny name referencing a classic car from yesteryear, Scoupe DeVille revels in the past. And that old-is-new-again mantra extends to its location, a remodeled service station from the 1950s. Original owners Doug and Sandy Paris opened the business in 2001, decorating the site with their extensive collection of nostalgia pieces. They sold it in 2017, and new owner Melanie West hasn’t skipped a beat. Scoupe features more than 40 flavors of hand-dipped ice cream, soft serve, gelatis, banana splits, malts, ice cream sodas, sundaes, floats and shimmies (similar to Dairy Queen’s Blizzards). Hot food includes burgers, barbecue, chili dogs and crinkle-cut fries. Its most notable offering is the Fat Elvis, which features 10 scoops of ice cream, seven toppings, whipped cream, a brownie, a banana and cherries. The price tag of $50 is fitting for a venue that celebrates the ’50s, but any customer who consumes it in fewer than 30 minutes gets a gift card, a T-shirt and a picture on the wall of fame. And likely a stomachache fit for The King.
