Rockin’ Retro Ice Cream Parlor — Restaurant in Cocoa Beach

Welcome to the most fun you can have getting a delicious ice cream treat in Cocoa Beach! As a local, I've tried them all, and no one can compete with the fun "throw back to the 50's-60's" ice cream soda counter ambiance, the fun & friendly crew, and the delicious rich ice cream like you'll enjoy no where else!

This local small business employs some of our lovely Cocoa Beach teens who are cheerful and ready with spoons so you can sample the ice cream. They regularly have 24-30 flavors, some are always available and some rotate, so be sure to sample a few before you settle in on your final choice. My fav is the raspberry w/chocolate chunks topped with rich hot fudge and pecans. Whether it's vanilla or superman or cheesecake ice cream with sprinkles or cherries or cookies, from a banana split to a sundae to an egg cream...or, or, or, or....whatever flavors and toppings tickle your fancy, Rockin Retro Ice Cream Parlor will hook you up!

So if you are visiting Cocoa Beach for a vacation/cruise, are a snow bird, or live here year round, you owe it to yourself to stop in and enjoy a delicious ice...

It took almost 15 minutes to get the first one and then another 10 for what came out as a small one. When I advised her that they were both supposed to be large, she gave no apology, no offer to remake the one that was a small to a large, nothing. She just rang me up for then 2 smalls and I was on my way to our table. We sat and drank our shakes and watched another family come in. The young lady behind the counter said “I’ll be right with you” and then left the counter to go clean a table while they stood there waiting. No management/owner on site today, just the one girl behind the counter. Very...
