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

This kills me to write this because I couldn't wait to try this location because I loved my gelato at the La Jolla Shores Scoops. They were out of so many flavors. I remember the other location having so many good flavors. I was so excited to try this location in La Jolla too. The service was ok & my chocolate gelato was good, but for the price, selection & service I found another gelato spot across the street. read more

Ending our walk along the La Jolla Shores with a scoop of ice cream and I tried their lemon sugar crêpe. Crêpe was done well and delicious. Service was good. A bit pricey, but it hit the spot. There was Thrifty ice cream just down the street but Scoops offered a place to sit and kick back. read more

Delicious Double scoop indulgence ! I recommend a vegan chocolate brownie chunk ice cream, chocolatey, it's delicious especially with the chewy brownie bits. Any chocolate lover will be happy with this flavor. I topped it with a scoop the vegan cookies and cream. Both were creamy smooth, delicious plant based bacon ice cream creams one would never know it wasn't regular animal dairy cream. The sugar cone was crisp and fresh not too sweet, not too hard, Very good. Sunday night drop it searching for a vegan dessert on a warm summer night was a pleasant treat not to missed. Service was friendly and fast, plenty of open seating. Parking on this busy La Jolla St. just above La Jolla Cove is a challenge but worth the walk. A must try for any vegan or vegetarian ice cream lover. read more

We were walking around downtown La Jolla on a hot day and decided we needed some ice cream. We almost stopped at Haagen Dazs but then spotted this local shop and came here instead! I got the mango pineapple sorbet as a single scoop in a cup. Two of my favorite flavors that tasted excellent together! So refreshing on a sunny day. My husband got the cookies and cream, he said it was good but not anything exceptional. Glad we got to try a local ice cream spot to satisfy our craving! read more

Very nice ice cream place! They have seating outside too but you can also take the ice-cream and walk to the beach if you want! The people there were also friendly and nice. read more

La Jolla is beautiful. Scoops is along a busy street where parking is taken up by outdoor seating. I drove around the block several times to find free parking. I finally caved and parked in the Morgan Stanley building. All parking lots are charging $14 for 2 hours. I couldn't back up as the garage was tight. Scoops is lovely. It is modern and fresh. Definitely has a beach vibe. Service was great. Plenty of staff to serve. I got the ube sorbet which was very good! I also got the blue pineapple sorbet which no one liked in my family. I'll stick with ube. read more

Scoops La Jolla is a must-visit if you're in the area. As someone who's lactose intolerant, I always approach ice cream with a bit of hesitation. That said, after being offered and happily trying two samples, which samples are becoming increasingly rare at ice cream shops these days, it was an easy decision. I ended up getting a two-scoop bowl with Peanut Butter Brownie Honeycomb and Hazelnut Cookies & Cream. Fully leaning into vacation mode, I added Peanut Butter Cups and crushed Oreos on top, and I did not regret it for a second. For those who are a bit more calorie- or health-conscious, one thing I really appreciated is that if you want to try two flavors without committing to two full scoops, you can order two half scoops for the price of one full scoop. That was a first for me and honestly a model I wish more ice cream shops across the country would adopt. Cassandra helped us during our visit, and she was not only incredibly friendly but also offered great recommendations that left me extremely satisfied with my choices. I will note that the ice cream is priced a bit above the national average, but in my opinion, it is absolutely worth it for the quality, experience, and service. read more

The ice cream was good but they are pretty skimpy with their scoops. We ordered 3 single scoops and it's really overpriced considering how small the scoops were. read more

Scoops is your typical ice cream parlor but with less flavors and options. The customer service was less than adequate; the girls working there do not seem happy or willing to serve customers. read more

**Scoops La Jolla Cove** is *exactly* what you want after a beach stroll -- sweet, refreshing, and full of flavor! They offer a **wide variety of flavors**, from the classics to some more unique options, and everything I sampled tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. I ended up going with a scoop of **coconut sorbet** and **pistachio gelato**, and both were **outstanding**. The **coconut sorbet** was **light, airy**, and perfectly tropical -- not too sweet, and super refreshing. The **pistachio gelato** was the real standout, though -- **rich, creamy**, and packed with actual pistachio pieces. It had that deep nutty flavor you hope for but rarely get in pistachio anything. Add to that: **Reasonable pricing** (especially for being so close to the Cove) Generous portions Super friendly staff This place is a gem by the ocean -- definitely worth the stop if you're in La Jolla! read more

Great service and so many options! I wanted to try something different and picked the black cherry chocolate chip ice cream in a cone. read more

I got a brown sugar cookie dough waffle cone which was amazing. Will be coming back to try different flavors.

They also do catering! We got married in La Jolla this past weekend and really wanted a sweet treat to end the night for our guests. The ice cream was delicious, the setup was super cute, and they were above and beyond professional and communicative throughout the whole planning process. Would recommend using Scoops for any fun events you have in the area! read more

Ice cream and sorbet were excellent! Lots of flavor choices. Dropped a star because I didn't appreciate the eye roll from the young man helping us when we asked to sample. There were cups for sample spoons on the counter so it was apparent that was okay. read more

We got their Peaches and Cream crepe -- amazing! The mascarpone cream and peach compote really balanced each other out, and the biscoff added a really nice, needed crunch. The staff were so nice as well. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I am incredibly disappointed and feel ripped off. I brought my kids in March 2. We were greeted and offered assistance from a female employee behind the counter that didn't smile but looked a little hesitant (realized later she probably was a new hire). I told her my kids had certificates and handed her the certificates. She didn't put her hand out so I placed the certificates on top of the glass ice cream case between us. She glanced at them as if she knew and didn't need to read them. I proceeded to tell her the flavors my kids wanted. She didn't ask what size. She scooped and handed the kids their cups. Not generous scoops but I assumed that's what was included with their prize certificates. We thought we were done but then she said the certificates only covered the kiddie size scoop and she scooped us small size scoops. I was annoyed but offered to pay the difference. I didn't see the cost of a kiddie size on the menu. The manager stepped in and said since the certificate weee good until the end of the month "why don't you just save the certificates for next time and you can just pay for these". I told her we wouldn't be able to come again before the expiration. So the manager said "ok then we'll give one free and you can pay for the other size small". I was a bit taken back and didn't want to hold up other customers so I just paid and left but thought later I probably should not have agreed. I feel it was their mistake. I shouldn't have had to pay since we had certificates for 2 free scoops. Poor training. Poor customer service by both the staff and manager. This was handled very poorly. read more

Amazing service and I enjoy the ice cream! Bonus stars for using Van Leeuwen! Shoutout the Andrea the manager for exceptional service!

I heard about this new ice cream place in La Jolla from Instagram. The colors looked stunning especially since we are so close to the ocean. I thought it was bold to have an ice cream place directly facing Bobboi's Natural Gelato. Since it was our first time at Scoops-- I wish they had walked us through about what they had and what they were known for! There is a good amount of seating inside and outside as well. The place is nicely ventilated and has good airflow. The ice cream is in metal containers so you can't see it. They have a menu board with classic flavors and vegan flavors and more. The vegan flavors seemed to be more adventurous than the non vegan. I tasted: - The passionfruit which didn't have any passionfruit notes to it at all. It was a light green color. This is not the color of passion fruit juices at all. It was super icy with no flavor. - honeycomb is pure sweetness. We went with the mango sorbet which tasted ok for what it was. It was icy as well, but not as much as the passionfruit. It didn't have an intense mango flavor but it reminded us of the stringy mango. There's def better mango sorbets out there. My mom ordered a split cup of the Sicilian pistachio and cafe latte swirl these are both gluten free flavors. They had light flavors, but both delicious since it wasn't overly sweet. This spot would be great for kids! The workers were nice to let us try a few flavors. It's nice and clean in here too. read more

This review is for Kenzie. We ordered a split scoop in waffle cone and a double scoop. My guy paid for it but didn't realize the price wasn't adding up before tapping his phone. As I was walking out, I was thinking aloud about how the price of 25 dollars didn't make sense to me. She immediately addressed it and offered to check for us. It turns out, one of the staff members had already input a split scoop on the register and the one checking us out didn't realize. She immediately rectified the over charge and refunded us the extra charge and comped us a split scoop! I really appreciate how proactive she was. She was genuinely apologetic and was super efficient at rectifying the problem. Not only is their customer service good, their ice cream is too! My favorite was the black cherry chop and chocolate fudge. Kenzie is amazing and I'd be back because of her service. She deserves a raise!! read more

Stopped on for a bite after checking out the sea caves at La Jolla cove. Cute little spot up the hill from the coast. Server was very friendly and helpful, offering free tastes of anything we wanted. It may have been the best ice cream I've ever had. I do not like ice cream typically, but this was fabulous. Our group talked about it for the rest of our stay in San Diego. Stop in when visiting La Jolla. read more

I love this place! The ice cream is such good quality! It's creamy, and doesn't taste like anything artificial. Awesome flavors! It tastes homemade. I also love the customer service here. I've been coming for years and every experience has been pleasant. The people working here are so kind! What more could you want in a place? Definitely give it a try- even if you're not in the cove it's worth a drive. read more

We loved the ice cream at this place,very creamy and delicious. With outdoor seating with the view of the ocean absolutely beautiful.I recommend this place. read more

We loved this place! They looked to have just opened at this location, in the heart of La Jolla. Ice creams are clearly marked with allergens (gluten free/vegan). Walking in its is bright, airy and fresh, the staff was helpful and let me try one of the ice creams before I chose my flavor. I went with the honeycomb and early gray, a small double scoop. I would have gone full on honeycomb, the earl gray was good but the honeycomb was amazing, not like any ice cream I have tasted before. I had 4 others in the group, all bought different flavors and all loved their ice cream. We arrived about 8PM or so and the line was almost to the door very quickly. It looked like they open early for coffee/matcha type items. Must go if you are in town! Avoid the chain ice cream places. read more

Cute place and I bet a ton of it's delicious! Unfortunately I found both the matcha and strawberry flavor in my drink to be pretty flavorless, and the matcha wasn't mixed well which made for some pretty powdery and chunky sips. I think it would be vastly improved by a scoop of vanilla or strawberry ice cream. read more

The ice cream here is absolutely delicious and wonderfully creamy. The waffle cone had a great taste, though it was a bit crispier than I expected, so I didn't finish the whole thing. The store itself had an enticing aroma, thanks to the fresh crepes being made on-site. read more

Loved the view of the ocean from here. Grabbed ice cream here after my husband and I got dinner. Cute ice cream shop with a variety of nondairy dairy options! The crepes were to die for!

Clean, quick, yummy! Not even a black cherry flavored ice cream kinda girl but dang that was good! The

I came here on opening night and the line was long, but it was more than worth the wait! They had multiple vegan and regular flavors that I had never seen before (PB honeycomb, cookies & cream caramel swirl, Marion berry, etc) and each of them was absolutely delicious! After debating and trying multiple samples, I ended up getting a two scoop cup and then went outside to their beautiful patio which has an amazing view of the palm trees and beach down at La Jolla Cove. If you are visiting La Jolla this summer I can't recommend Scoops enough!! read more

The flavor was good but the quality felt "chalky" when eating. The quality could have definitely been better.

I have been walking through Downtown La Jolla for years every weekend. I finally walked past this new shop and I LOVE IT! It reminds me of getting ice cream when I was a kid. The staff is so welcoming and pleasant. The ice cream was AMAZING. They also have CREPES!! Like what?!? 13/10 would recommend! read more

Anytime we are craving ice cream or a crepe, this is the place to go! They have pretty good open hours and if you can get the homemade whipped cream with the crepe it makes it even better!
