The Wild Scoop rebranding as Five Mile Grind - Coffee & Ice Cream

We’ve heard rumblings that the new owners of the Wild Scoop (3411 Pacific Avenue) have had some big plans in the works, and the first details have emerged.

Yesterday, the Cobucci family announced via social media that the shop is being rebranded as Five Mile Grind, a combination coffee bar and ice cream parlor set to open this Spring.

Five Mile Grind will feature “Beach Ball Blend” and “Surf’s Up” bold coffee selections as well as premium offerings from New Jersey-based partners Revolution Coffee Roasters (Collingswood) and Evermore Coffee Roasters (Burlington).

On the ice cream side, keep an eye out for the signature “Wildwich” - described as a series of treat variations “born out of our love for Wildwood and the classic chipwich.”

The first to be introduced was the “Hulk Wildwich,” made up of two double chocolate chip cookies surrounding a massive scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream, rolled in chopped mint Oreo cookies.

(A hockey/Philadelphia Flyers-themed version named the “Puck Wildwich” was also hinted at.)

Five Mile Grind is prominently located in the heart of Downtown Wildwood, directly across from Byrne Plaza, and is neighbored on the same block by The Deck at Holly Beach, Hooked on Books, Blue Homes Real Estate, Maggie’s Boutique, Beach Whiskers, The Yellow Umbrella Gift Shoppe and Greek Street Eats.

The Wild Scoop opened in August 2017, ahead of the grand opening of Byrne Plaza the following Spring.
