Customer Reviews
I LOVE ROOKIE'S! Tragically, I live 2,443 miles away, but perhaps that's a good thing because I would be broke and my doctor would be pretty unhappy with my health. But truly, I love this place. The staff are always the best and the ice cream is such a delight. I made an ice cream cookie sandwich with triple chocolate and brown sugar cookies and a scoop of Crack. SO GOOD! You have to try this flavor. Kiersten, the employee working when we were there last, was so patient and answered all of my questions, allowing me plenty of time to decide my perfect flavor combo. And it's only like $5???? Incredible. LOVE IT HERE! Would 10000% recommend!! (P.S. Rookie's, if you're seeing this, please call me asap if you ever decide to open a SoCal location!)
First timers who were staying in town with future Liberty University students and loved our experience at Rookies. Matthew was the most friendly person we had experienced in all of our trip. We got some recommendations and enjoyed warm cookies with creamy ice cream. This was a great once in a while treat and it looked like sometimes there are other food/drink trucks open. Though they were closed during our stay we could imagine how amazing it would be.
Great ice cream! Great people! Great location! Great hours! I'm lactose intolerant when it comes to processed diary, personally, but I can eat Rookie's with no problem. I think because they get their milk from Homestead Creamery, a good (and local!) farm/source. They don't always have vegan/non-diary ice cream, from my experience, although they've made a lot of new changes, so maybe they do have it consistently now. But either way, their ice cream is delicious and comes from ethical places and the service is amazing! It's one of my favorite places to go for an occasional special treat with friends or just by myself after work to chill and relax and treat myself. Rookie's never fails to deliver the best spot for a spontaneous late night summer adventure with friends either, since they are
Ice cream sandwich made with care. How is the ice cream this creamy and soft with those cookies not too soft and not too crunchy? I will be back for more. I just read from post they have lactose-free ice cream? I have to go back again and try this! It's too bad there is no place to go inside to eat. I love eating ice cream in winter but when I am not freezing myself. That won't stop me for another one of these though.
Being a HUGE fan of sweets, and after hearing a ton of hype about this place, it was above and beyond my expectations. Amazing ice cream, very affordable, super friendly staff and workers, plenty of spots to eat - this place is where it’s at!! Ice cream sandwiches will not disappoint. See you next time Rookies 💪😎
