How are these scores determined?

The Scooped score is based on reviews from users of the Scooped app, who rate parlors and flavors per visit. A parlor receives a Scooped score once it has 5 reviews; until then, the Google score is shown as an indication. It is always labeled separately and never blended with Scooped scores. Parlors only enter the list with a Google score of at least 4.5 and at least 25 ratings, so the length of the list varies per city.

How often is this list updated?

The ranking is generated automatically from the current scores in the Scooped database, so it is always up to date.
