The best ice cream!! I prefer to drive past many other ice cream and yogurt places to go here. This fresh made ice cream is always my first choice. The Mint Oreo cookie is my favorite so far. But all the flavors I've tried are amazing. Butter pecan, Pecan Praline, Cookie Monster, Rocky road and Mocha Almond brownie. I can't wait to try more. Not only is the ice cream amazing, but I love the decor!! You walk in and are surrounded by the past. Brings back so many memories from my childhood. I also want to say that everyone that works here is so nice and welcoming. read more

I was craving a banana split and right away I came across this gem of a find. This ice cream shops has a very unique decor. It's like you stepped back in time with all the old school decor and music. I loved it! It felt so nice and nostalgic walking in. The ice cream is all homemade! You definitely can tell the difference compared to other ice cream places. I got a banana split I tried the strawberry shortcake Banana pudding And the s'more's ice cream. All tasted super fresh and not overly sweet. I definitely will be back to this ice cream shops to try some of the flavors I didn't get! The staff were super friendly and welcoming. read more

Stopped in after shopping at Smart and Final and will most definitely be stopping in again! We had the oreos mint and chip and the nutter butter cookie....so good! Nutter butter tastes just like the cookie! You can definitely tell that this homemade vs grocery store. If you haven't stopped in, be sure to add this place to your must go! read more

Yum! Tried the mocha almond fudge ice cream and the passion fruit sorbet. Both were a 5 out of 5!

This was my first time at Rock n' Roll Scoops and I loved it. They have so many ice cream flavors and everything looks amazing. I heard the staff mention that all the ice cream is homemade, which is really impressive. I ordered two scoops with cone : coconut and pistachio . Both were delicious, but the pistachio was my favorite. The girl who served me was very sweet and friendly. Even though it's just an ice cream shop, they still make you feel very welcome and cared for. The shop is not very big, but it's clean, beautiful, and feels almost like walking into a movie set. read more

PROS: -Aesthetic, the place alone is a vibe and the 50's vibe is so cool to see. I love seeing all the decorations and different photos on the walls! -Portions, the sizes are HUGE! They'll stack it high for sure, and all the ice cream is so delicious. -Low prices, the price is really good for what you are getting, good quality ice cream! CONS: -The space inside the restaurant is a little small so there isn't much seating, but it isn't a big deal SUMMARY: Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

Rock N Roll Scoops - Nutella and churro - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vista, California

It's like a cross between a 50s diner and a Mexican ice cream shop. Only in SoCal. Someone did a great job decorating this place. It's mostly filled with 50s decor but, here and there, those Mexican influences come to the surface. It's funky and delightful. Now onto the ice cream. There are your standard flavors but there are unique ones, too, like s'mores and tiramisu. The ones we tried were very nice and tasted very fresh. Of course, they also offer banana splits, shakes, aguas fresca, churros, and more. To round out the decor, there is a gorgeous jukebox (sadly playing electro-plastic 80s tunes instead of 50s or at least ranchera music), a Donkey Kong game machine, and a bubble gum machine. Give this fun and funky small shop a visit. read more

The more I come back here, the more I like it! It was super busy on a Friday night. But of course, the one server was very friendly and efficient. She kept the line moving and remained calm. The ice cream is delicious. Tonight I try a simple popsicle lime flavor. Loved every bite! My son who had never been here before had a chocolate covered banana and he enjoyed it. The rest of the family had various scoops of ice cream and all flavors were very satisfying. Decor is so much fun and they're always playing killer bops! read more

Such an adorable retro ice cream shop. Nothing like it in Vista. The ice cream is fantastic with fun flavors as well as all the standards. The memorabilia really adds to the 1950 soda fountain feel. Staff has always been amazing and even the pickiest of friends find something to get excited about. read more

Super cute shop, was surprised this was here as we live close by and didn't know about it until yelping sundaes. It's in kind of a crappy shopping center but the shop itself is super unique. We spit a banana split which seemed like a good deal with 3 flavors and toppings. For our flavors we chose Oreo, Ferro Rocher, and s'mores. S'mores was my favorite. Service was friendly, the shop was clean, and we will definitely return next time we are craving ice cream. read more

There's a new icecream parlor in Vista and it's got a lot of personality! Rock N Roll Scoops is a small brand that is the epitome of a vintage 60's diner, but with a Mexican icecream parlor twist!! You can find this hidden gem in plain sight in a very inconspicuous and yet convenient location. It's located just north of the 78 Hwy, off the EMERALD Exit and on Vista Way. They are in the same shopping center as Smart & Final grocery store and they are on the south side. The interior of Rock N Roll Scoops was done with so much thought & care! From the tiling, to the wallpaper, to the iconic posters, jukebox, portraits and even a working gum-ball machine! Every attention to detail had the intention of launching back into the 50's to 60's era! But, to be fair, there's also 70's & 80's iconic brands & paraphernalia too. The service is fast and friendly and I love their cute uniforms!! They were very patient with me learning all of the Mexican-inspired flavors. I also love the ambience with the classic rock, pop hits and big band jump! There's also a lot of Mexican bands playing too. They make all of their ice cream & their ice pops in-house daily with fresh ingredients & they have over 50 flavors to choose from! Thats about 25 ice-cream & 25 gelato pops. They also have agua frescas, acai bowls, old-fashioned kid candies (like ring pops) and a large assortment of ice-cream bars too!! This place is totally decked out!! There's plenty of parking in the front lot of the shopping center and although the inside is a little cramped, there are some tables that sit couples very well. But space is limited. The size of their sample spoon is great & the entire place is clean. Their bathroom was immaculate! They also have Jarritos soda pop, classic Coca Cola and an assortment of bottled drinks. What I DIDN'T see was ANY water available! It could be that they sold-out, but I'll come back to confirm this and report in a post Overall, I am truly in love with the vibes here and due to the large assortment of flavor combinations, I can tell that I'll never get bored! I WILL BE RETURNING ASAP!! read more

This place is so cute and the ice cream is so good. There were 5 of us that all got different flavors and we enjoyed it. It's a little hidden gem and our new go to ice cream spot. It was nice to find especially since we don't have any other ice cream place near by. read more

This place is such a hidden GEM!!!! I had been wanting to try it and so glad we finally stopped in!

Honesty it's the kind of place you want to be in when you're enjoying a sweet treat. Also they had other michoacana type options for anyone wanting something more on the salty side. Were stoked to have this place in our neighborhood. We will definitely be back! read more

HIDDEN GEM!!! Man, the vibe is awesome, the ice cream is NATURAL and DELICIOUS! you get transported to an aesthetically pleasing past!

Good ice cream, good service, nice atmosphere. Can't ask for much else, right? We came in a little late, around 7 PM. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, giving off the impression that she enjoys her work and interacting with customers which does a good job of putting you at ease to take a peek at their 40+ flavors. She said that they try to use all natural ingredients and make all the ice cream themselves - I can't verify that myself, but the pistachio ice cream we got tasted pretty good and the price seems decent for higher quality ice cream (about $5 for one scoop, $8 for two scoops, and an option for three scoops that I can't remember the pricing on). There were also paletas and some pre-packaged ice creams, and some of the signage suggests they have also have frozen bananas (but I didn't get a good look at these or try any). Definitely recommend if you live nearby or happen to be in the area! read more

Very Nice place me and my wife are going there every week . The people are nice . A lot of variety of ice cream.
