Ruby Scoops Ice Cream & Sweets

Specialties

Ruby Scoops is a local and online retailer of premium small batch ice creams, sorbets, sherbets, and desserts such as cookies, blondies, cupcakes, and ice cream cakes.

History

Established in 2015.

Ruby Scoops came to fruition in October 2014, when Rabia noticed the increasing rarity of consistent high quality local desserts. She decided it was time to help change that, all the while beginning to take steps to work for herself. Ruby Scoops uses high quality ingredients and partners with local farms to bring you the finest, richest ice creams, sorbets, sherbets and baked goods. Ruby Scoops has been in full-​time operation since earlier this year, and we proudly work out of Union Kitchen DC.

Rabia K.

Business Owner

Rabia has spent most of her 20 something years on this Earth in the kitchen. It all started when she was a toddler & realized that by helping her parents in the kitchen, she could get fed first. Her passion for food quickly turned into a passion for baking the minute her mother placed a rolling pin in her hand at age five. By eight, she was reading cookbooks cover to cover. Taking inspiration from greats – baking cookies, cupcakes, making ganaches, and tempering chocolates. She continued to be affected by the baking & cooking bug thru high school. Her passion saw a resurgence in college & after graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelors of science in Marketing and Media Studies, Rabia attended the Culinary Arts Program of L’Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, MD. where she graduated w/​distinction. Rabia worked in several kitchens in the DC area and stumbled back into pastry after joining Black Restaurant Group. Her food has been featured in WaPo & Zagat.
