New ice cream and antique shop! The Scoop on 47th is putting a new twist on what was formerly known as 8th Street Video & Ice Cream Station.

Each batch is made in-house with care, using thoughtfully sourced ingredients and inventive flavor combinations. Visit us year-round in Lakeside or stop by our seasonal spot in the Fitger’s Courtyard to experience local craftsmanship in every scoop.
At Wired Whisker, our mission is to help find safe and loving forever homes for as many rescue cats as possible by providing a welcoming space for humans and adoptable cats to bond. We believe that cats have the power to feed the soul and heal the mind, and we want to share that magic with as many people as possible. Our space is split into two sections: the cafe and the cat lounge. The Cafe: Entry into the cafe is free, with no cats. In the cafe, you will find our order counter, plenty of seating, and restrooms similar to a regular coffee shop. Journey down the hall, and you will find the entrance to our cat lounge, along with a large picture window for viewing! The Cat Lounge: There is a nominal cost to enter the cat lounge, which helps us provide the best for our adoptable rescue kitties during their time with us. Here, you will find our cats, comfy seating, and a relaxing environment.
