Scoops Ice Cream Shop Expanding To Ocean Beach With Third San Diego Location

La Jolla-based Scoops Ice Cream Shop is expanding its presence in San Diego with the opening of its third location in the Ocean Beach neighborhood later this year.

Since launching in La Jolla Shores in 2018, Scoops has built a loyal following for its handcrafted ice cream, crepes, and other sweet treats. Known for offering both dairy and vegan ice cream flavors sourced from Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream, the shop has become a go-to spot for high-quality, all-natural frozen desserts. Over the years, Scoops has expanded its menu to include a variety of shakes, smoothies, acai bowls, and locally made pastries, all served in a welcoming, beachside setting. Last year, the area second Scoops location opened on Prospect Street in La Jolla Village. 

The new Ocean Beach location, set to open at on Newport Avenue next to the Ocean Beach Playhouse, will continue Scoops' tradition of serving premium ice cream and an expanded selection of treats. Guests can expect the same mix of classic and creative flavors, along with made-to-order crepes, espresso drinks, and more.

Scoops Ice Cream Shop is expected to open by this spring at 4944 Newport Avenue in San Diego's Ocean Beach. For more information, visit scoopslajolla.com.
