“[Vieira] started her business by sharing kitchens to make her ice cream and then decided to open up her store, Swanky Scoops, located in the heart of Downtown Toledo…. on 130 10th Street in an adorable building with a beautiful black and white awning just around the corner from Culture Clash Records. It’s very easy to find.”

“"I haven't met an ice cream that I didn't like," said Alissa Vieira, owner and operator of Swanky Scoops, the Toledo-based ice cream shop that has been serving up seasonal and unique flavor combinations since 2021…

Popular summer flavors at the shop include Summer Strawberry, using Michigan berries that are practically "field to ice cream," as Mrs. Vieira put it - that's how fresh they are…

The Passion Fruit ice cream is a personal favorite of Mrs. Vieira. She married into a Portuguese family where passion fruit is a celebrated dessert in their culture. This flavor captures the fruity, floral, and tropical essence of summer, Mrs. Vieira said.”

“…In 2019, Ms. Vieira was home with her 2-year-old twin sons and decided to try her hand at making mint julep ice cream for the Kentucky Derby. The confection was a delicious success, and Ms. Vieira knew she was onto something…

Ms. Vieira's ever-changing selection of ice cream flavors ranges from a new malted milk flavor she's presently working on to an Earl Grey ice cream with fruity merlot chocolate truffles, to a frozen treat called Basilicious, which is a basil-flavored concoction.

"Swanky Scoops is special because our ice cream is a French style ice cream…”

“I happen to love ginger: powdered, fresh, candied, and in virtually any kind of dish or treat. So when I'd seen on social media that Ms. Vieira was making ginger ice cream, I nearly swooned. This flavor did not burst my anticipatory bubble — it was seductively smooth and creamy, with no additions or stir-ins, and with all the vibrancy of the ginger root infused into the milk base.

It's "spicy, as ginger should be," Ms. Vieira said with a smile, happy to know that I'd loved the tingling sensation that contrasted on my tongue with the coolness inherent in the ice cream.”
