Ice Cream Churro Bars

Loop & Scoop is the UK's First-Ever Ice Cream and Churro Bar

— October 17, 2017 — Lifestyle
Loop & Scoop is an ice cream and churro bar in Glasgow, and is the first-ever cafe of its kind in the United Kingdom.

Inspired by the popular Mexican dessert churros, entrepreneur Calvin Kayes teamed up with his wife to create a space that offers a unique dining experience for those who live in Glasgow, just for the fact that it doesn't exist anywhere else in the UK. Kayes claims that Glasgow has "one of the most exciting and vibrant foodie scenes in the UK," and he is aiming to contribute to it with his handcrafted churros and ice creams that are based on his wife Serena's family recipe.

All of the food products offered at Loop & Scoop are created on site, and are made using high quality ingredients.
Trend Themes
1. Mexican Dessert-inspired Cafes - There is an opportunity for entrepreneurs to create more cafes that offer unique dining experiences by drawing inspiration from popular desserts around the world, such as pastel de nata or taiyaki.
2. Handcrafted Dessert Bars - More businesses could benefit from creating handcrafted desserts using high quality ingredients, thus offering a more artisanal experience for the customer.
3. Niche Dessert Shops - There is an opportunity for niche dessert shops that offer one-of-a-kind sweet treats, mashing together two or more of an unusual cuisine's favorite desserts, such as mochi croissants or Nutella sushi.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Restaurants, dessert cafes, and food trucks can profit from including popular desserts from around the world in their menus to create unique experiences for customers.
2. Hospitality - Hotels, resorts, and guesthouses can attract guests by providing unique handcrafted desserts and niche desserts as part of their room service or on-site restaurant offerings.
3. Retail - Specialty shops, supermarkets, and gourmet food stores can increase their customer base by featuring handcrafted desserts made using high quality ingredients from around the world, increasing their cachet and status as a destination for foodies.
