Rockwell Ice Cream Co

3.5 stars. I am a big-​time ice cream fan, and while Rockwell was okay, there was just too much I wasn’t impressed with to rate it higher.
I asked the server to surprise me and give me what she would make an out-​of-​towner who wanted to experience the finest Rockwell had to offer. She made me a sundae of a brownie; 3 scoops of ice cream: snickerdoodle, biscoff, and salted caramel; hot fudge and graham cracker sauces; and whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry. She also let me sample some of their other favorites so that I could get a full sense of what they have to offer.
First off, I will say that I was not impressed by the brownie. They make it in-​house like the do every single aspect of their food. I was expecting a gooier, richer treat, but it was very run-​of-​the-​mill.
The ice creams ran from «meh» to «yum.» The overall texture is not bad, but not great. There is plenty of butterfat in base, but the ice cream has not been compressed enough to eliminate a lot of the air. While there aren’t noticeable ice crystals in the ice cream, it’s not as smooth as the top ice cream makers in the country. Somebody else here noted that it’s about on par with Cold Stone. Texturally, I’d say that is a fair comparison.
The snickerdoodle flavor was delectable. The base had a good amount of cinnamon and sugar to give it the classic flavor, AND there are perfectly-​sized chunks of snickerdoodles in each scoop, as well. If I were to recommend a flavor, this would be the one.
The biscoff made for a wonderful first taste, but became very quickly underwhelming. Even if you like cookie butter, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this one. The recipe needs some fine-​tuning.
The salted caramel was unfortunately probably the worst version of that flavor that I’ve ever tried. The potency of each the salt and the caramel was very lacking, and after a few bites it began to taste like little more than vanilla.
The hot fudge sauce was also lacking «oomph.» I’m sad to say that I prefer Hershey’s hot fudge (not their chocolate sauce) over this one.
However, the graham cracker sauce was A BIG WINNER flavor-​wise. Get this on whatever it is you’re ordering. As it cooled off on top of the ice cream, it granulated a little bit but was still wonderful. Unfortunately this was the highlight of the dessert.
Whipped cream, nuts, and a cherry… skip it. The cream tastes like there was no sweetener added to it, and while they brine their own cherries it really didn’t taste like anything at all.
While I really do appreciate that Rockwell’s makes their own ice cream daily, in-​house, and in small batches, the end product is what I’m paying for. Rockwell’s doesn’t come even close to the level you’ll find Bi-​Rite or Salt & Straw on.

They make their own ice cream here and do a great job at it. They make up a lot of their own flavors as well. Some people may mistake a regular tasting ice cream here as nothing special but remember that this isn’t a mass-​produced coldstone ice cream and that the ice cream you’re eating was literally made just on the other side of the wall. That’s something to praise.
They are pricey, but have you been to coldstone lately? Not much different and they are usually generous here with the portions they give you. Still, it’s a splurge kind of place… I much prefer more $ in my pocket than ice cream made in house. Ice cream here really is great and quality. Highlight flavors are: Biscoff, honey comb, smores, and mint (which is not green and is made with real mint leaf).

If I hadn’t decided, on a whim, to get a chocolate chip cookie cone, I’d be giving them five stars. But let me just tell you right now, that cone is one of the worst things I’ve ever put in my mouth. It’s neither cookie nor cone, remarkably hard, and devoid of any flavor besides sawdust?
But we went for the ice cream, and the ice cream absolutely delivered. I ordered the Biscoff ice cream, and my mother ordered the Toasted Coconut ice cream.
Biscoff ice cream. I mean, it had huge chunks of actual Biscoff cookies in it, so it was amazing. Not too sweet, suuuuper creamy. The toasted coconut actually tasted like coconut and wasn’t overpowered with too much sugar, like most coconut flavored ice creams. The texture of Rockwell’s ice cream is solidly great, and I’m excited to have a local creamery in the area!

Had heard a lot about this place and was anxious to try some homemade ice cream.
The servers were very kind.
The s’more ice cream was very unimpressive. The brownie tasted like dry chocolate cake. The butter pecan ice cream was pretty good.
For the price you can find much better ice cream in the Provo area.
I typically do not leave dessert in front of me unfinished, but I maybe ate ¹⁄₃ of my dish.

Amazing ice cream, hand made, using real cane sugar! Every flavor was delicious! Great place to take family, and large portions.

This is good damn ice cream. The snicker doodle ice cream HAS ACTUAL SNICKER DOODLE COOKIE IN IT. What more do you need in life? I haven’t had a cone yet, I’m not much of a cone fan, generally speaking, but I am reliably informed that they are life changing. However, they don’t have sprinkles. That is not forgivable. I love rainbow sprinkles more than I love some of my human friends. How can you have ice cream without sprinkles as an option? I’m pretty sure that’s actually illegal and I will be informing the authorities.
The layout of the shop itself is a little odd to me, the tables seem pretty far away from the counter and there is another area right by the front that I’m not entirely sure the purpose of. Maybe it makes more sense when there’s more people in the place, I’ve only ever been when the place was basically empty so it felt kind of enormous.

Since we discovered Rockwell Creamery, we’ve been driving from Highland (25 min) almost weekly to partake. It’s heavenly. I’m crazy for ice cream and will never opt for the local cold stone again. Why aren’t there more delicious homemade ice cream parlors in Utah? Doesn’t Utah consume more ice cream than any other state or something like that? I feel pathetic driving so far for something widening my thighs.

Completely amazing ice cream! Provo needed a fresh new dessert joint and no doubt this is it! I ordered the muddy buddy ice cream — a delicious childhood snack in ice cream form! My husband ordered the honeycomb ice cream cookie sandwich with a snickerdoodle cookie and chocolate chip cookie. Everything was so yummy! Definitely our new favorite dessert joint.
Only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because of the layout. It was very packed and there was no place to sit. I think the seating arrangement could be more organized. But, as with any new restaurant, they’ll figure it out! I’m sure they have thought about this and with spring and summer around the corner will offer outside seating. Also, the employees weren’t overly friendly but it was so busy so I’m sure they were just focused on the job at hand and nothing else.

Some good ice cream. Great place to get dessert after eating in Provo. The smore ice cream is awesome. The salted caramel is really salty, good for a few bites but too much to handle for a while scoop.
You can have 2 flavors in the single scoop and they need to specify that on the menu. They also need to put prices of the sundaes on the menu.

What an awesome little ice cream shop! My and my family came here after the Provo City Center Temple open house for a treat. My first time here, they have some awesome flavors! I wasn’t disappointed. I will return.

For what it is, a premium ice cream dessert shop, it blows away most of the competition. They are local, have a good mix of classic and creative flavors, above average sizes, and on par for pricing.
We tried a three scoop (tip: they will let you split a scoop in half to try two flavors). The flavors we tried were milk chocolate, muddy buddy, honey comb, and biscoff. All were very rich, creamy, and sweet.
Our favorite was biscoff. Great flavor with large pockets of biscoff cookie goodness.
Honey comb was a good mix of creamy ice cream and finds of honey flavoured Carmel syrup.
Milk chocolate was… milk chocolate.
Must buddy was heavy on the chocolate with an occasional peanut butter chunk and some muddy buddy chex pieces.
Nummy. $ 7.50 and the family is happy and satisfied.

After hearing a ridiculous amount about Rockwell’s my husband and I decided to give it a try and we weren’t impressed.
Although it is very hip and modern in atmosphere, the ice cream was truly lacking. At first I thought it seemed expensive for ice cream but they do give you quite a lot. It was quite busy and filled up quickly while we were there. We ordered cookie dough ice cream, cookies and cream, strawberry, and salted caramel. There was not one we would return for. Those were the ones we actually ordered, the others we tried were less impressive. Our favorite was cookies and cream, and the salted caramel was good but quite overpowering. I’m not saying it’s terrible, but it’s not really worth going out of your way for. Solid three star ice cream. If you’re in the area, great! But don’t go out of your way to try this place.
I can say that the place is clean but even the staff wasn’t super friendly. I hear their flavors change a lot and maybe we will give it one more chance.

Very delicious, had the peanut butter gooey sundae with chocolate and coconut ice cream, yum yub!

Classic flavors with slight twists. For example we ordered the Rockwell Road, which seemed like their take on rocky road, with slabs of nut brittle (that were almost too big) and the other usual suspects in a rocky road.
Overall the décor was nice, with plenty of seating and a friendly staff. My main complaints? It wasn’t super cheap for a single scoop of ice cream (almost $ 5?), and service seemed sort of slow, despite the hard limit of 2 samples/​person.

This is a great place to get some ice cream. When we went it was packed, which meant it had to be good. It did not disappoint.
This place has all your classic ice cream flavors that you can find anywhere, but what I like about it is the unique flavors and offerings it has. Some very unique ice cream flavors it offers that I’ve never seen before were Muddy Buddy, S’mores, and Biscoff just to name a few. The S’mores was very good. We plan to come back to try more of the unique flavors.
It also has an option for ice cream sandwiches made with cookies, which are also great. All in all it’s a great location, fun shop, and fantastic flavors!

Best ice cream, and I know ice cream! homemade! Excellent service, delicious original, flavors to choose from… decisions decisions! Honeycomb ice cream!

This place is hands down the best ice cream in Provo. Homemade ice cream that is better than anything you can buy at the store or any other ice cream place. If you like chocolate the Rockwell road is the richest chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had. If you like a vanilla base the honeycomb is amazing. Just come and try it so I’m not the only one obsessed.

The location is wonderful and the building is historic. I love the idea. The space is very loud and cold. The little scoop of ice cream in a styrofoam cup was almost $ 5 with a little hot fudge. I tasted a few and they were all way too sweet. I had strawberry and it was made with fresh strawberries and was pretty good. I would rather have Haagen-​Dazs, Cold Stone, BYU Creamery or Baskin Robbins.

Thoroughly convinced that this place will never get less than a 5-​star review because it is that good.
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am an Ice Cream addict. I have had ice cream from over 300 places, easily. In the last week, I have had ice cream ⁵⁄₇ days. Just the other day, I had one of the greatest gelatos at a small place by the National Harbor in Washington D.C. So believe me when I tell you:
Rockwell Ice Cream has the BEST ice cream you can get for STATES around. Since trying his, I have yet to have an ice cream place beat him. Yes, others have come to par, but those are in San Francisco, New York and Washington D.C.
If you DARE, complain about the price, be happy that they don’t charge like some places in Chelsea Market in NYC do. (Although I still buy because it’s delicious.
House made. Fresh. Delicious. Highly recommended.
Favorite Flavors: Chocolate, Muddy Buddy, Honeycomb, Biscoff.

As my children said, «five children laughing»! Which means, «five enthusiastic thumbs up»!! We loved it! Creative and delicious ice cream flavors (the churro ice cream was so creamy and cinnamon-​y! with bite sized pieces of churros – YUM), sundaes, and incredibly delicious pies! The pecan pie was amazing!
The atmosphere is also exactly what I was hoping for! We sat at fun barrel tables with colorful metal chairs below low hanging metal lights while listening to great music. The owners and employees made sure to ask how everything tasted. DIVINE!
We will definitely be back!
