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

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

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

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

We are planning on bringing family members with us next time, plenty of cup/cone options as well as toppings. They staff were friendly and welcoming. read more

Talk about a creative variety of homemade ice cream! Rock N Roll Scoops doesn't disappoint. You're greeted with a smile and served yummy, delicious ice cream.

Found this place via Apple Maps as it was within walking distance of where I was and I needed to kill some time. Always interested to try homemade ice cream and this place did not disappoint!! The staff was super friendly, the ambiance was fun 1950's themed and the ice cream was the bomb. I got the carrot cake ice cream and it was to die for!!!! First time having carrot cake ice cream and it was so delicious, every bite my mind was blown. If I'm in the area again will definitely be back!! Thank you Rock N Roll Scoops for making DELICIOUS ice cream!!!!! read more

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

We stopped because we saw a post on Instagram but will not be returning. The customer service with the young lady was unapologetic and unprofessional. My family came in and spent $25 dollars for ice cream. My son accidentally dropped his ice cream and she was so rude and said it wasn't her problem that once it was in our hands it was our responsibility. Mind you that I was just informing her so she can have someone pick it up. I wasn't expecting to get another ice cream. If she would of had better customer service I would of bought him another cone. My son left crying. Her tone and rudness was uncalled for and I will not be returning. Ambiance was to much clutter everywhere on the walls! read more

Awesome spot! I really like the way the place is decorated. This place reminds me of how my grandma used to describe old soda fountains at pharmacies when she was a kid. Very cool. The service was outstanding. The ice cream was top notch and the milk shake I had was so good that I almost finished it before I remembered to take a picture. You can tell they really value tradition and take their craft very seriously. Outstanding. Will be back and I have already recommended them to a few friends. read more

This place is amazing!!! It's like walking into an old-school ice cream parlor from the 1950s, only it's run by your cool funky Tia with the hoops and thick eyeliner, lol. The ice cream is homemade and outta sight; and they also have aguas frescas, paletas, sorbets, ice cream truck goodies and pretty much every American and Mexican frozen treat you could want. The fella scooping ice cream was super sweet and attentive. And it's just decorated SO CUTE. My teens and I wanted to stay for longer, and they informed me we are coming every Friday from now on, lol. Great job to whomever open this gem -- this is a real class act! read more

Wow! Amazing Ice cream with an overwhelming selection! The service was incredible as well! Clean and cute, We'll be back :)

I take my grandma here regularly. We love the 50s theme and appreciate the quality of the homemade ice cream. There is a wide variety of flavors, including some with a touch of Mexican flair such as Gansito (my favorite). I just wish they would upgrade to a better whipped cream topping. read more

WAS FINALLY able to stop here today after my mom recommended it to us. She saw a TikTok and has been wanting to try it. It is SO good; everything is homemade and absolutely delicious. The vibe in here is so fun too, it's super small but the perfect size to grab and scoop and hang out. You can also really tell when people like their jobs, but the staff here loves doing what they do. They have a true 50s ice cream parlor vibe, but with the local and Mexican influence. We will be back! Make sure to try all the flavors, because you'll want to try each one! read more
