Rookies was a college staple for me and I try to make my way back there every time I'm in town. I remember back when it was just a small operation, and so I'm impressed with just how much farther it's come. The cookies + ice cream are so yummy and I also really recommend their chocolate milk. Pair the great desserts with the fun vibe and it just makes for a nice place to grab a great late night treat. read more

I have always enjoyed the black raspberry flavor between the lemon cookies. When I first came to college in Lynchburg, Rookie's was the first place I went with my hall. There are good memories behind it and the staff have always been so nice. I love the outdoor string lights and just the vibe of it in general. read more

These cookies were a must try. Such a fun stop in our trip! They had ice cream cookie sandwiches we liked too!

Absolutely delicious! My sister and her husband brought me here and the cookies and ice cream were great! I had the holiday flavors - snickerdoodle cookies with Christmas dough. Highly recommend while it's still in season! Staff was super friendly and offered our small dogs pup cups read more

This place has been closed for months now. It was great while open. Just not enough business despite being in the mall. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Rookie's - Craft Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me - Forest, Virginia

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. read more

I'm really disappointed with my experience here. My friends and I went in specifically for the cookie skillets, which are our absolute favorite. When we asked for one, the staff told us they were out, which was disappointing but understandable. However, we were shocked when we saw them serve cookie skillets to other customers right after us. It felt like they were just trying to brush us off. I don't mind when things run out, but don't tell us you're out and then serve them to others. I won't be coming back anytime soon. read more

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). read more

How you pronounce the name idk but every time I'm in town I make sure to stop by for a delicious treat! Los Guidry's Thoughts and Recommendations: - Covid protocols are ok. I have noticed all the staff wears masks, and they provide hand sanitizer. However, I haven't noticed any employees come around and wipe down tables between customers. - Icecream and cookies are delicious! Rookie's has their classic staple flavors but they also have some seasonal flavors which makes you want to come back and see what's new. Last time I went I noticed they had vegan icecream options and those were yummy too! Thanks for adding vegan options to the menu. - Vibes are on point. They have string lights, music playing, and several picnic tables to sit at and catch up with friends. We recommend bringing some card games! Always adds to the fun. Overall I highly recommend coming to Rookie's. We all need something to cheer us up and nothing hits the spot like good ice cream and cookies. read more

Our daughter brought us here for dessert. She came here with her friends and loved it. Cute little country setting with plenty of seating and awesome cookies and ice cream. Looking forward to coming back here. read more

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!

Quite literally the best dessert for its value I've ever had coupled with a fantastic aesthetic and environment. Simple menu with a selection that allows for many tastes, but you can't go wrong with ANY. The string lights and truck medium creates a small town, homemade feel. Cookies are fabulous by themselves as well! Try Rookie's and you'll feel transported to a simpler time. read more

Rookies is definitely poppin all the time ! I usually am against places that are super hype because normally they are not worth the hype - but honestly I cannot lie rookies is worth the hype. The ice cream sandwiches here are the reason why I keep coming back ! I try to switch it up but the classic sandwich gets me every time (that might not be the official name of it) but the one with the classic chocolate chip cookies and the espresso chip ice cream in the middle . It is so good. GO TRY IT, and if you have already tried it GO GET IT AGAIN!!!! read more

Here are several short yet separate reviews of Rookie's that could also double as their slogan. (Maybe they'll hire me for this.) Rookie's: When aesthetics collide with dessert. Rookie's: The only place where people enjoy the wait. Rookie's: BIG MIIIIILK Rookie's: It's not Mister Goodies. Rookie's: You didn't go if you didn't 'Gram it. All-in-all, a great little scene where very personable people serve up tasty desserts. read more

It's pretty self explanatory. They sell ice cream, cookies, and ice cream cookies. They're usually pretty fast even when lines get long.

I have enjoyed coming here with friends. It is a great sweet snack to enjoy while spending time with others. Definitely recommended !

When I heard they sold ice cream sandwiches, I imagined pre-made. What a pleasant surprise. They scoop the ice cream out and put it in between two soft, fresh cookies. It was delicious. It's a food truck and when we went on a Friday night it was packed. Picnic tables and string lights add to the cute atmosphere. read more

I've been to mookies a few times and their ice cream and cookies have always been incredible. Recently they won me over as a lifetime customer with their incredible customer service. After getting engaged, my fiancé and I went to mookies for an after party with some of our friends. Somehow, the owner heard what we were celebrating and came out to congratulate us. She then gave us cookies and milk on the house. Great atmosphere, great cookies, great people. read more
