Artisan ice cream shop and beachside café at 2179 Avenida de la Playa in La Jolla Shores, 92037, steps from La Jolla Shores Beach. Scoops La Jolla has been family-owned by the Abu Hamdan family since 2015, serving small-batch ice cream, gelato, and espresso alongside a light food menu — and the family's second location, Scoops La Jolla Cove on Prospect, brings the same Van Leeuwen scoops to the Village. Seasonal flavors lean toward fresh, natural ingredients. A beach-day essential on Avenida de la Playa — consistent quality, friendly atmosphere. Open daily, and late-night dessert seekers who want scoops past 10pm drive to Handel's Homemade Ice Cream at Villa La Jolla, open until 11pm.
