Rookie's — Restaurant in Virginia

Great ice cream! Great people! Great location! Great hours!

I'm lactose intolerant when it comes to processed diary, personally, but I can eat Rookie's with no problem. I think because they get their milk from Homestead Creamery, a good (and local!) farm/source. They don't always have vegan/non-diary ice cream, from my experience, although they've made a lot of new changes, so maybe they do have it consistently now. But either way, their ice cream is delicious and comes from ethical places and the service is amazing!

It's one of my favorite places to go for an occasional special treat with friends or just by myself after work to chill and relax and treat myself. Rookie's never fails to deliver the best spot for a spontaneous late night summer adventure with friends either, since they are open late (11 or 11:30 I think). During the warm summer months I could not wait until the end of the week when I got paid on Friday and Rookie's was open to go and treat myself. God bless this place! Rookie's has become very dear to my heart with many fond memories having been made here.❤

Last time I went there with my husband, they had a delicious selection! I wish I could remember what we got. (I didn't take any pictures, either.) I know I got some kind of a coffee/espresso drink with icecream in it. I hope that's something they're still offering - it was...

Hands-down the absolute BEST ice cream sandwich I could ever even dream to have tasted. Since discovering this local hot spot over a year ago, my girlfriend and I have been back again and again, always impressed. This place was recently transformed from a modest food truck to a full building in order to accommodate a very satisfied clientele which keeps growing with no sign of stopping. Their ice cream is top-notch, never freezer-burned because customers love it so much, it doesn't even have enough time in the freezer to lose any of its flavor. Combine that with two oven-baked cookies and you have a true masterpiece. Their selection of ice cream and cookies will ensure that no matter what you get, you can never be disappointed. On a few occasions we have been there late at night and some of their supply is gone for the day, but that's just a sign that business is booming. If you think for a second that you can visit Lynchburg without having Rookie's Cookies (and ice cream), you are...

Honestly, not worth it at all. Not worth the wait or the price. My wife and I had heard so much about this place so we finally decided to stop by. After maybe a 15 minute wait, we each ordered an ice cream cookie sandwich and also received two chocolate chip cookies because it was Rookie's anniversary. Needless to say, we were underwhelmed. The ice cream was quite delicious, but unfortunately it's from a different creamery (not made by Rookie's). Kudos to Rookie's for finding and using Homestead Creamery ice cream, which is probably what people should be paying to buy. The bigger let down was the size of the sandwich which they charge $4 for and the cookies themselves. The cookies were actually quite bland and both my wife and I agree that, not only do we make better cookies, but most cookies we've had from other places (professional and private) are better than the cookies from Rookie's. We will not...
