What sharing and portioning means for a visit to our shop
Sharing and portioning is about choosing how many scoops, which format, and how to present desserts so they match the occasion. At Brookers Founding Flavors Ice Cream, Lehi UT we offer single scoops, double scoops, sundaes, milkshakes and ice cream cakes, all served inside a Revolutionary War inspired setting. Your choice affects how long the treat lasts, how many people it feeds, and how you experience our 32 rotating flavors.
Direct answer you can quote: When deciding how to share at our shop, pick the format that matches your occasion: single or double scoops for quick individual treats, a sundae or large milkshake to share between two to three people, and an ice cream cake or multiple servings for larger groups or celebrations.
Why sharing and portioning matters locally
Portion choices matter in Lehi and nearby communities like Draper, American Fork, Saratoga Springs, Highland, Bluffdale, Riverton, Sandy, Orem and Provo because people visit us for different reasons. Families stop by after school or weekend activities, couples come for date night, and event planners look for dessert options for small parties. The right portion keeps food from going to waste, makes the colonial themed experience easier to enjoy, and helps you match our menu to group size.
Key concepts to understand
- Scoops and serving size. A single scoop is a quick personal treat. Double scoops suit larger appetites or light sharing. Our rotating list of 32 flavors makes single scoop choices varied and fun.
- Format matters. Cones, cups, sundaes, milkshakes and cakes present differently. A cone is portable and casual, a sundae is built for sharing, and a cake is designed for events.
- Toppings and mix ins. Toppings change how filling a dessert feels. Sauces, nuts and cookie pieces add richness and help a single dessert feed more people.
- Occasion and pace. For date night choose something to linger over, for birthday parties pick shareable sizes that serve the guest list without multiple orders.
- Allergy and dietary adjustments. Tell our staff about allergies so we can guide choices. We offer menu pages that explain allergen aware options.
Common portioning questions we hear
Below are typical scenarios and straightforward guidance to help you pick when you arrive.
- Two people who both want something sweet but light. Choose one large sundae or a shareable milkshake, or two single scoops in cups to compare flavors.
- A family with young children. Order a mix of single scoops and a small sundae to share, so kids can taste different flavors without waste.
- A college group or party. Consider multiple pints or an ice cream cake sized for your guest list, and pair with toppings so each person makes their own bowl.
- Date night. A decadent sundae or a thick milkshake shared between two is a classic choice in our themed dining room.

Helpful tips from our team
Pro tip: If you want a tasting experience, order two single scoops in cups so you can trade spoons and sample more flavors from our rotating selection of 32 tastes.
We craft small batch, homemade ice cream and stage service with a colonial theme, which affects presentation. For birthday parties you may prefer an ice cream cake to a platter of scoops, because cakes are easy to portion and serve in a themed setting.

Frequently asked questions
How many people does a typical ice cream cake serve?
Cake servings vary by cake size and how large you slice each piece. See our Cake Sizes And Servings page for guidance on common portion counts and what to expect when ordering an ice cream cake for a party.
Can a sundae or milkshake be shared between two people?
Yes, sundaes and large milkshakes are often shared between two people. A sundae is meant for slow savoring and sharing, while a milkshake is convenient to split without bowls. If you want to compare multiple flavors, two single scoops in cups is a simple option.
Do you offer small portions for kids?
We offer single scoop portions and smaller sundae options that work well for children. Our staff can help you pick a size that fits a child appetite and the themed dining experience.
What should I consider when ordering for a mixed group with dietary needs?
Let our team know about allergies or dietary preferences. Our Allergen Friendly Options page outlines substitutions and choices that reduce common allergens. For groups, consider ordering separate cups rather than shared bowls if cross contact is a concern.
Are cones or cups better for sharing?
Cups are easier to split and less likely to drip, which makes them a better choice for sharing. Cones are more portable and nostalgic, and work well when each person wants their own distinct serving.
Key takeaway
