SweetLife on 3rd in Chula Vista's Third Avenue Village scoops Niederfrank's all-natural ice cream from a storefront at 310 Third Avenue that has served as a dessert destination since 2002. The menu spans single scoops to four-flavor ice cream flights alongside fresh-pressed waffle cones, deli sandwiches, acai bowls, and smoothies — a dual sweet-and-savory format that complements the dinner service at Italianissimo Trattoria one block north on Third. Vegan options include a guava sorbet that debuted at the annual Taste of Third Avenue festival. The shop also carries Carvory cookies, which pair with any scoop to build a made-to-order ice cream sandwich. Third Avenue's walkable dining scene extends from dessert into craft beer at Chula Vista Brewery, and SweetLife's outdoor patio seats eight for post-dinner scoops along the corridor. The waffle cones are pressed in-house on a 400°F iron and rolled within a 10-second window to hold their conical shape before the batter sets.
