Karen Sellers of Here’s the Scoop shares her mission to build community through ice cream
Karen Sellers, owner of Here’s the Scoop, explains how her ice cream shop doubles as a community gathering space in Washington, D.C.

We stopped by Here’s the Scoop, where owner Karen Sellers keeps it simple: “Is the ice cream good? Yes, it is.”

But for Sellers, serving ice cream is just part of a larger mission. She sees Here’s the Scoop as a community space — a place where students, families and neighbors can pause, enjoy a moment and feel connected.

Whether it’s a student dropping in after school, a family celebrating a special occasion or someone simply needing a break in their day, her goal is to make Here’s the Scoop a welcoming spot for everyone.

That’s the heart behind Here’s the Scoop. It’s not just about business — it’s about belonging.
