3 blocks from the beach, and tasty ice cream! What a great delight! What more can the person want? Fabulous shop with ample outdoor seating, selling ice creams, crepes and shakes! Ice creams are good. They are made by someone else but the waffle cones are made by Scoops! Service is good although line can be a bit long. Flavors are changing but I found that person can find at least 3 flavors they will love!! read more

Scoops - Cafe ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

Scoops is sn Artisan Ice Cream hole in the wall type of place that needs to branch out, especially to the Murrieta/ Temecula areas. They serve ice cream, shakes, crepes, & coffee. They had this AWESOME vegan ice cream that was called Planet Earth & other not only vegan, but regular ice creams that were just sooooo good that I really wish they'd branch out. Service was great!! If you're in La Jolla, make sure you stop in and give them a try... Your taste buds will thank you!! Happy taste buds = Happy brain, happy body, so Happy eats everyone read more

Check in on yelp for a free waffle cone with ice cream! Scoops La Jolla is conveniently located in the middle of LJ shores. Street parking is nearby, but it's best if you're already at the beach or walking distance. Shakes, coffee, crepes, and delicious ice cream. I like their vegan oat churros & fudge, but as a dairy free milkshake. The line mighr be out the door but it's worth the wait and they have a lot of patio seating. read more

Why would you get rid of Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin? That was literally your best flavor The Vegan Strawberry Shortcake flavor is a good alternative though, read more

I ordered an açaí bowl and strawberry ice cream in a cake cone. the strawberry ice cream was delicious (according to my daughter) she did mention that the ice cream had no fruit pieces in it. I had the açaí bowl. The fruit was super fresh and deliciou. the granola had a chocolate spice flavor to it. The only thing that was different was that the bowl is more of a sorbet base than your usual açaí bowls. The place is super adorable and clean. The service was great but it was busy for a Sunday afternoon. The good thing is that they have seating outside. There is no street parking so you have to park in a downtown parking garage or find street parking around the area. read more

It's not a visit to La Jolla without a stop at Scoops. Staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The ice cream is amazing.

Awesome variety of tried & true ice cream flavors & unique ones too! They also serve shakes, crepes, & coffee. Shoutout to the ladies who let us indecisive girls try many samples! You guys are real ones! The shop itself is small, simply meant to order & go. But they have seating outside too. Honeycomb: Delicious & I loved the crunchy honeycomb pieces, yum! read more

My husband got the pistachio ice cream and it was pretty good. I got a banana matcha latte and it tasted like pure banana water, it was pretty gross. Also, the lady helping us had a bad attitude the whole time we were ordering. I initially didn't hear her when she told us to wait outside and she'll call out or order and then she said it again with an even bigger attitude, I don't know if she was having a bad day or what but her attitude and her making of a watery banana drink was not worth it. read more

Scoops - Pistachio ice cream & Banana matcha - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

We stopped in for dessert after dinner in La Jolla and had a great experience. Our kids were pretty indecisive, and the staff was amazing offering samples, and eventually getting them their ice cream. The ice cream is great, we had several flavors and all were good. The interior is also very cool: my wife loved the hombre with some intentionally misplaced tiles, and the general aesthetic was very cool. Great place to stop. read more

Truly special. At least the honeycomb flavor is! Very unique flavors and they are delicious!!! We will be back daily during our trip.

Great service, delicious Van Leeuwen ice cream, Egan options, crepes and even acai bowls! They have outdoor seating right out front as well as inside. read more

Scoops - Entrance - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

If you're in La Jolla shores you have to stop by Scoops!! They have a Honey Comb flavored ice cream that tastes amazing in their freshly made waffle cone. They have a couple of vegan flavors and a vegan waffle cone which is pretty cool! They have a restroom inside and a large outdoor seating. There's a bunch of street parking around the neighborhoods nearby so you'll always find a spot even if it's crowded. It's so nice to sit out during sunset or night time when all the lights are turned on. They also serve bird rock coffee!! The only unfortunate part was the lady serving the ice cream just seemed annoyed when we asked to try a flavor for the first time. Which is was annoying, because they had a bunch of new flavors and there was no one else in line behind us. read more

Can you say YUM?! I have never had such delicious strawberry ice cream. And I know what you're thinking, "STRAWBERRY??! Out of all their amazing flavors you got strawberry?" The answer is, "No, I didn't, but my 6 year old did and it was FANTASTIC!" We also got the brown sugar cookie dough and if they don't have that flavor in heaven, I don't want in. It is delectable. It is NEXT level. It will be in my dreams for years to come read more

Scoops - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

An ice cream lovers paradise! This place was so good! I was visiting with a friend and we decided to grab ice cream. We didn't check out this place before so we had no idea what was on the menu and I was so impressed. They had a large assortment of a lot of ice cream flavors and a lot of different options. You could have your ice cream/dessert. You could get a classic ice cream, scoop or cone, a shake, and even an açai bowl. There were many toppings and fun ways to customize your dessert. Everything looked and smelled really good. I was so happy to see vegan ice cream options. And not just one, there were 3 with a seasonal special too! I got the oat chocolate chip cookie dough which was 10/10! One of the best vegan ice cream experiences I have had in a long time. I would definitely get again. The inside of the store is mainly just to place your order, pay, and get your ice cream. If your order takes long they have you wait outside or around and we'll call it over speaker to avoid build up of people waiting inside. They have a lot of outdoor seating as well, which is really nice especially since you're so close to the beach and can just watch the sunset if you happen to be there and evening. Otherwise there isn't seating inside and you were just take your ice cream to go. The service is also super nice and friendly. They give out samples if you needed to try a flavor too so you don't need to feel pressured to just pick one flavor that you might already know. Would highly recommend you stop by if you're in the area I'm looking for a fun summer ice cream spot in San Diego! read more

During one of my recent sunset beach visits, we happened to take a walk down the main drag near the beach. It's a street full of small shops and intimate restaurants. As an aside, I'd recommend this because it brings about some beach town nostalgia without all the gross aspects of the OB clientele or similar. While walking, we found this fun little ice cream shop while heading back to the beach and we knew it was instant heaven. Upon walking in, the shop is quaint and fun. "The Sweet Life" is the light up sign on the wall and it fits this business perfectly! They have classic, vegan, and sorbet options. This is in addition to other menu items we did not try, like Crepes, Coffee, Tea & a lot of other drink options. We got 2 waffle cones. They're always our favorites and this was no exception. You can taste any flavors that you want. We did a split scoop with Earl Grey Tea & Sweet & Salty Caramel Cookie. In one word it was "DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-LICIOUS" read more

Fast service even with a longer line. Ice cream was delicious! In addition to meet the 85 character minimum imposed upon me by this app, I should also mention the outside seating was very nice. Big tables with umbrellas! read more

Scoops - Chocolate ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

What a great shop to grab ice scream in La Jolla! Just a few blocks from the beach, the shop was so easy to get to after playing in the water. Though there was a line, it moved fast! The crew is so sweet and moves through orders quickly. They have an amazing selection, and our family loved all their chosen flavors. As a person with food allergies, I appreciate how clearly those items were, so that I could make choices safely! We will be back!!! read more

THE SWEET LIFE After every meal will always be room for dessert! This place has offerings of different sizes of bowls for your scoops. I went with the smallest - enough to try and enough to tease me to come back again! FYI, if you c heck-in with yelp you get a free scoop. Their menu has regular flavors, special flavors, but some of the regular flavors may fall off to make room. I went with a regular flavor although it's not guaranteed it will always be offered. PLANET EARTH - Almond Ameratto ice cream, matcha, and blue spirulina (blue-green algae). Not only does it look like a lick-able cold Planet Earth, it definitely tastes "earthy". The taste is inquiring. You get the sweet nutty, salty sea-like, and grassy all in a lick. I like it! JABA APPROVED. Until the next scoop. read more

Really solid ice cream spot in the la Jolla area! It's in this really cute small shopping/restaurant area and they have outdoor seating. Lots of different unique flavors to choose from. Ice cream was creamy and good consistency. They have health conscious vegan friendly flavors as well and the ability to make milkshakes. Line may look long but it moves fast! They also have a restroom for customers as well read more

Pros: fast and friendly service Location Many flavors Cons: ok ice cream read more

-- location -- within walking distance to the beach and along the street that is mostly pedestrian walking -- parking -- neighborhood and some spots and some 90 min parking -- menu -- crepes and ice cream etc I got the planet earth single scoop! It's a blue almond and matcha swirl The flavor is not strong on matcha which I wish it was, but despite this, it's a unique flavor combo and very nice. It is on the sweeter side for me too but not that bad. The texture was smooth and creamy which I enjoyed. At the time of my visit, if you checked in on Yelp, you can get it in a waffle cone for no extra charge! I believe a scoop is shy of $6 -- service -- sweet and patient! We were tasting and deciding and trying to also load up our yelp pages, and they didn't show an ounce of impatience or frustration with us. They were helpful and positive so I appreciated that. -- seating -- outdoor seating available read more

Good product but their milkshakes are ringing up $1 more than the printed price on their menu. Check your orders! Cannot say how widespread any price discrepancies are since we only ordered on item. read more

Scoops - Sicilian Pistachio Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

Scoops is a great place to stop on your way to the beach. While they have ice cream, they also have a variety of coffee options (Bird Rock Coffee Roasters) for those who want to caffeinate. They are walking distance (if you don't mind a mind a bit of trek) to the beach where you can enjoy your treat and the views! read more

Great service. cute and clean place. Best icecream we had. Not overly sweet just how I love it 10/10 read more

Scoops - Icecream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

Very delicious ice cream in a great convenient spot! Has a good range of flavors and the coffee swirl was really good. They have a bathroom for customers and plenty of outdoor seating which is a great bonus. read more

Slow but short line, probably bc we all want samples before we select our items. Took my nephew and enjoyed delicious PB honey swirl and mango sorbet. Would absolutely go back when I am at the shores. It was about $6/item. read more

Bottom Line: Good quality I've crean with tons of ice cream choices, regular and vegan, lots of options, and it's even fun to look at. A bit pricey for sizes but it's enough ice cream to enjoy. The Good: tons of choices, quick service, a fun part of La Jolla, close to the shore. The Bad: a tiny place where you exit through the alley (weird) and a bit pricier than some ice cream places. read more

Scoops - These were the smalls - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

Very happy to have a cool scoop of ice cream after eating rolled tacos next door. Any flavor that we ordered over each of 4 days was delicious and was not freezer burned or boring. The ladies working the store were working hard and knew their roles - making cones, making crepes, scooping ice cream, making espresso for my Affogatos! The did a good job of everything. The only thing that needed a little work in my opinion was the pandanus crepe - it needed more pandanus - and maybe some chunks of mango! (People taste mango with sticky rice, but the rice is flavored with pandanus) - this crepe was mostly just sweet and you had to search for the pandanus. Thats fine, next day i had a nutella crepe and all was GREAT with the world. I appreciate them giving the pandanus extract a try - maybe more? Just my suggestion. This cannot bring my opinion of this place down. Also, they have a clean restroom. a bonus! Clean! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in tonight 10/1/22 around 8pm. There was a line but it moved quick. We got a single scoop cookies and cream and my boyfriend got a cookies and cream milk shake. Both together ran us about $15 not including a tip. I'd say they have to work on their allergen procedure a little bit though. They ask if you have any food allergies and then when you tell them they ask "is cross contamination a problem?" read more

Stopped by for icecream after a beach day and it hit the spot. The person helping us was super friendly and patient. We tried a couple of flavors and got the brown sugar cookie dough icecream. It was pretty good. Had the right amount of sweetness.. i was tempted with other interesting flavors so hopefully next time! read more

My friends introduced me to Scoops and I'm hooked. The line was long but was surprisingly processed quite quickly even though each customer was patiently attended to. There is a wide variety of ice cream flavors and there are crepes too! I got a scoop of earl grey and enjoyed it. There are tables in the front of the shop and when I was there the street was closed to cars so I felt safe sitting there. Great place to sit and enjoy a cold treat! read more

They have an abundance of flavors and were really good. I do not typically step out and get anything other than mint chip. I tried their peanut butter one and loved it. Their waffle cones are made fresh and were tasty and crunchy. They also serve crepes and milkshakes which was a nice option! read more

Scoops - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - La Jolla, California

Stopped by on a lovely summer evening for some ice cream and it was a delicious surprise. The shop itself is tiny but their flavors pack a punch and are so creamy. You can tell it's homemade and great quality. They even have a back door exit that you walk through an alley with a beautiful mural. I ordered a scoop of brown sugar cookie dough that had brownies swirled in and it was so dang good!! I have to come back for their earl grey or other seasonal flavors. read more

Wow oh wow. We were in the mood for some ice cream and found this location via Yelp. It was also very convenient that it was close to the beach so we were able to go for a stroll along the beach after ice cream. They had lots of unique flavors and some options for crêpes, which is good if not everybody in your group likes ice cream. There was a very long wait. This place seems to be very popular and I can understand why because the chocolate ice cream that I got was super delicious. Everybody in our group loved what they got. read more

Ah, classic La Jolla. I've missed the experience of having dinner around here then getting ice cream and walking along the beach. It was a liiittle too cold the day I went, so my friends and I sat on their outdoor patio and chatted away. Got a scoop of peanut butter honey swirl, which was tasty. Love that they have vegan options (seems to be a notable part of their menu) and crepes if you don't want ice cream. Cute spot overall. read more

A sweet aromatic ice cream shop located on your walk to the shore with sweet workers. The store is small but once you get your ice cream, you can exit out the back to an alley where they have a painted background of kids enjoying ice cream for your photo ops. They had a variety of options to choose from ice cream and sherbets and coffee. They even had vegan options. I had the brown sugar cookie dough and it was heavenly! The brown sugar adds a nice sweet flavor profile that is a bit toasty, different than your typical cookie dough. They had nice chunks of cookie dough in the ice cream. It was $5.50 for a single scoop which didn't feel super big compared to some other ice cream places, but for the taste, I'd recommend you check it out. If you check in with Yelp, you can get a waffle cone. read more
