    This place is amazing!!! The owners truly care about their craft. I love the ice cream sandwich - the chocolate cookie is a game changer. Would recommend coming early because they sell out! THE BEST!

    What a great little ice cream find. Love the ice cream cookie sandwiches, and the Affogato (ice cream with espresso) was to die for! They very easily could have charged double and I would not have blinked an eye. Great flavors at a great price!

    Decadent ice cream is at the heart of this charming establishment. The prices may seem a little on the steep side, b it the flavor than makes up for the cost. The ice cream cookie sandwich in particular was divine, an adjective I don't typically use for ice cream. I also tried to hot chocolate, which was great in its own way. Come try this place!

    Quite frankly I've only had this place due to them generously being available at our school, LUCOM. But from what I've had from them and other instances, their cookies and ice cream are stellar! The proper temperature of ice cream, enough to be creamy, not hard, no ice crystals, and start melting immediately in your hands when you start eating your ice cream sandwich. The cookies are soft and give when you bite them but not so soft they crumble. All in all, other than the original location of the food cart, I would go to rookies far more than them visiting our school. Fantastic frozen treat for a good medical school pick me up.

    Absolutely love this place! I am quite loyal to another ice cream place in town, so I had my hesitations about trying Rookie's and feeling regret for not going somewhere else for my ice cream craving. I was surely not disappointed! I would be 100% happy with either the ice cream or the cookie by itself, so both together is amazing. I don't know how they make the cookies so perfect that they don't fall apart when you bite into the sandwich, they're still soft, and there is no sacrifice for the flavor! I thought for sure I was going to have to settle with eating with a spoon, but everything stayed together surprisingly well. was overwhelmed with the number of choices (in a good way) for all the combos of cookie and ice cream you can pick from. Just means I'll have to be back to try more (and I look forward to).

    Great ice cream and cookies! I got the cookie skillet and it was one of the best warm chocolate chip cookies I've had! The employee working was super nice and apologized for a wait that wasn't even long at all - he was great :) great service, food, and prices

    Best ice cream sandwich cookies around! Homemade cookies and fresh homemade ice cream from homestead creamery. So yummy!

    S'mores ice cream cookie sandwich

    It's not a vacation to Virginia without stopping at Rookie's for an ice cream sandwich! I love that they bought the old market building to expand their operation after a long time of working from the cutest food truck! I tried the lemon cookie with lemon ice cream this time and it was to die for! Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

    Vegan happiness!

    Was driving by this today and had to stop on by as always on the looking for the new things in…read moreLynchburg! Boy are we glad we stopped by! This place was delicious we had the mango cooler and the citrus cascade which are both sprite based. There are many options though for people of all taste preferences from Coke to Pepsi or Mountain Dew. The syrups and other mixers you can have are also delicious as we had a mango mix in one and in the other it had a pina colada mixture. The service was quick and very friendly and heading into summer I definitely advise anyone to come and get a refreshing beverage! Right next to the main road so easy to see and in a nice area with other dining and dessert options. A couple bench's to sit on as well to hang out with those you grab a drink with. They also provide gum as well for after your drink so you can get some of that sugar off your teeth. Lastly the price was great and definitely expected it to be more but was a pleasant surprise as it was $3 for the 16oz and $5 I believe for a 32oz!

    It's awesome to have a business that is unique compared to others in the area.

The variety is impressive, with bases like sodas, lemonades and sparkling water, plus a crazy amount of flavors and purées you can mix in. I'm hooked on the Lime Lagoon, which combines Mountain Dew, lime, and blue raspberry flavors. If you're looking for something different and delicious, definitely check out Jukebox Soda.

    Yikes! We had high expectations due to the high rating and delicious looking pictures online…read more Unfortunately, the food we received (which was VERY expensive, by the way, and prices for most items were not on the menu) was subpar. We ordered the al pastor tacos with rice and beans, chicken tacos, asada tacos, and asada torta. The good stuff: service was friendly, the wait wasn't too long, and the portions were good (the torta was GIANT). The atmosphere outside would probably be nice at night (they have outdoor seating, tables, lights). The torta was the best thing we ordered, it was good! Unfortunately, all the meat we got was dry and unseasoned. In the torta it was masked by all the other ingredients, but all of the tacos are more simple, so the unseasoned meat couldn't be covered up. The pork on the al pastor was so dry and flavorless I couldn't force myself to take more than a couple bites. The rice and beans also tasted unseasoned and flavorless which was very disappointing. All of this wouldn't have been so disappointing if it wasn't extremely expensive (we are visiting from DC and even street tacos there are cheaper!). We were expecting high quality for a meal that was almost $70 total (9 tacos with one side of rice and beans, one torta, and a soda).
